Answer 1

a straightener called remington wet to straight. you can straighten your hair when it's wet. so you should try that out.

also i straighten my hair in layers. so tie your hair as if you were gonna tie your hair up in half but leave only a little bit of hair so that the straightener will straighten the thin part real fast. then do the rest of your head, but you should do it with like 4 layers. if your hair is that thick. hope it helps.

Answer 4

i suggest you get a frizz ease shampoo, when u dry it, dry it in layers, then once dry straighten it in layers, not all at once x

Answer 5

sounds like your hair is over processed and damaged.  consequently you need to halt any product use or heat inducing processes that will further damage your follicles.  I recommend using a gentle shampoo (such as Johnson & Johnson) in addition to a light conditioner.  You might also want to see a hair dresser who can further address the issue.  It might be that you have split ends that need to be taken care of.  

Answer 6

my hair is thick also, if you are looking at a high quality/expensive straightener, go with the chi it's around 120

but if you just want a cheap one, go to the store and they have a whole wall to choose from.

go for the ceramic ones because they don't damage your hair as bad.

also, when you straighten it, try to do it in smaller layers, that way you can get every curly hair you have.

or you can learn the art of round brushing (:

Answer 7

okay my hair can be unruly but heres sum tips.

Wash and condition your hair , as soon as  you get out of the shower put a straightening cream in your hair like aussie or frizz ease .comb your hair and pull it into a tight low ponytail. Let it air dry over night or for a few hours.

take it out and add more straightening cream. section your hair off and use a flat iron to straighten it then finish with hair spray.

****** I use a straightener made by hot tools, its less than 30 bucks and works very good

Answer 8

If you really want a straight look, go to a beauty supply store and ask for the best flat iron. I used to work with a really cute girl that told me she flat ironed her hair every morning because she hated her curly hair and showed me a picture of what she looked like with it. I thought she looked cute with it. Everyone wants what they don't have. When I was in my teens and 20s my curly hair made me crazy. I tried hair straighteners, rolling it on supersized rollers. I really think you should work with it, not against it. I got a medium perm in my late 20s and my hair looked gorgeous. I just had to throw a few hot rollers on it in the morning. I kept the perms up through my 30s.It got less and less curly the older I got. Now in my 40s it's stick straight and I can't get it to do much at all, I just increase the volume with mousse. Curly hair is really a gift, if you can give it some direction.

what i do is use paul mitchell super skinny in my hair after i get out of the shower along with this got2b crazysleek stuff

then i blow dry my hair. then i separate my hair into two sections (like left and right sides) i put one in a hair tie. i put my finger a tiny bit above my ear and run it through my hair like im parting it there and then i pin up the top part of the hair that i separated from that. then once it is in this section i straighten it. when its straight i put it to the side thats in a hair tie. then i take another section and straighten that and so on until one side is straight. then i put the straight side in a hair tie and do the same thing to the other side. when im done i brush it and touch it up with my flat iron to make sure its all perfectly straight. and i finish up with bed head after party and herbal essence set me up hair spray and then i brush it. my hair looks shiny and pretty like its naturally straight. even though its crazy and thick and super curly and frizzy.  hope this helped. even though i know its just confusing and doesnt make sense. oh and my hair straightener is like. bed head light me up or something. its pink. and get to 400 degrees. and it was like seventy dollars? i saw it for cheaper at ulta though.

Answer 10

You should go to a hair salon and have them thin your hair :)

Also Chi straightoners work reaaalllly well kinda pricey but

you wont regret buying one.

Or find a straightoner that can get set to a high heat level!
