Straightening help..?

Question

I have puffy wavy hair, quite long, and i use straighteners almost every other day. I section off my hair and do it really well, but since i got layers my hair doesn't stay straight. Its really getting on my nerves. Can anyone recommend anything? x

Answer 1

make sure you have a good straightner. also, use a straitening solution. herbal essences makes a good one, and frizz ease makes a spray for help straightening hair. i suggest using a round brush and a hairdryer to get it going, then use the straightener, and finish it off with hair spray.  

Answer 2

Theres this spray called "Extreme Shine".

Well liquid spray and you use it while you're straightening your hair.

You spray it on from a bit of a distance and it falls onto your hair and you straighten and what it does is keeps your hair from becoming unstraightened.

It works really good.

I use it and it keeps my hair straight throughout the day.

Answer 3

I have the exact same problem.You should get a different straightner.

True Ceramic Pro works really well on any type of hair.

Answer 4

pin up your layers while your straightening your hair, and straighten sections of one layer at a time.

Answer 5

Bed Head Straightening Shampoo. It comes in a clear bottle, the shampoo itself is green.  If you use it everyday, your hair will become 'trained' to get more and more straight.

There's also another product, whose name escapes me--sorry, that comes in a yellow bottle with a red top.  It is sold at beauty supply stores (hair shops).  I want to say it is called Straightening Solutions.  When I use the two together, I don't have to perm (straighten) my hair.

Answer 6

You need to buy a really good product to put on the hair before you flat iron it.learn to wrap your hair at nightaround your head with a brush and put on a sleeping scarf.If done correctly, it should be flat in the morning and need little grooming.

Answer 7

ummmm......Hairspray maybe?????

Answer 8

ummm dont get a perm it makes your hair feel so gross and stringy it will fry your hair! but ummm you should get a CHI they work well and also idk your ethnicity but i am white and black and i use hair grease... you probably wont need something that extreme so use like that sunsilk stuff that is supposed to make your hair shiny but put it on each individual section of hair you straighten and then go over it a few times.... it might work for you

Answer 9

put in some hair serum to hold your style,give it shine,soften it, and make it glossy. yes, all in one bottle. a really good hair serum is Proclaim Glossing hair serum. it works very well and you can get it at Sally's:)

its jus really wavy and long until i layered it.

layers don't look good if they're not straight so i get a perm. its really worth it and should last for 6 months.

Answer 15

Yeah I agree using the Chi (Chi 63587 1" True Ceramic Hair Straightener). It really does work!! Phyto hair products also help and using a sculpting wax helps! Sephora has a bunch of products and carries both ...

Answer 18

have you considered Japanese Hair straightening? I know it s quite expensive, but it lasts up to 6 months. If you straighten your hair every other day, it might be worth it at the end.

Answer 19

Maybe you should buy straighten gel you use it wehn you get out of the shower and then your hair will naturally straighten works 4 me  

Answer 20

Next time you get your hair cut you can ask your hairdresser to razor your hair a little bit. I have layered wavy hair and that's what my hair dresser does b/c it makes it way easier to straighten with a hair straightener. Also if you notice frizziness a good way to stop that is when you get out of the shower don't dry your hair with a towel- use a cotton t-shirt, I read that in a mag one time and tried it and it really does work. Also another thing to reduce any frizziness is dryer sheets, just rub them on your hair a little. I do all 3 of those things and my hair is straightened quickly, easily and no frizziness. Hope this helps!
