Wierd for a guy to use hair straighteners?

Question

I'm a 20 y-o guy with medium length hair, i've never used hair straighteners before, but my sister's encouraging me to try using them. Do other guys use hair straighteners? and i'm not sure exactly how to use them, so are there any decent how-to vids on the net?

Answer 1

I attend Paul Mitchell cosmetology school and before that I would probably agree with you that I did not know this was occurring. But it is very common for a male to use a straightener. Anyone that wants straight hair can use it. So to answer your question, go for it. You will be amazed!

Whenever there is anything I want to learn hair-wise if not when I'm at school, I just google it or go to YouTube to find a video. Ask your sister to show you, it's not difficult to do once you see it done.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Answer 3

if ur sister uses them get her to teach you!...best to learn from a girl :)

also no it isn't weird i converted all four of my brothers and my boyfriend into using them also... it'll make ur hair look nicer :)

Answer 4

my BF does-his hair is quite short but he puts them through is hair to make it spikey, i think times are changing-men can do things like this now  

Answer 5

Maybe the guys might laugh at you when they find out that you are using one.  They may say "Those are for girls".  Then when your hot butt comes home with a different girl every day, you can explain to them that they were right, it is TOTALLY for girls!  

There is nothing wrong with looking good.  I know guys who wax their backs, wear make up to cover scars/zits, dye their hair or facial hair to get rid of gray, get facials and get their nails done.  I wish that "manly men" would spend a little less time being homophobic and a little more time on their personal hygiene!  

That being said, the best straighteners are the ones that heat up to at least 160 degrees.  You will probably spend about $40 or more when you buy one (I'm sure that your sister won't let you use hers forever)  The trick is to do the bottom first.  Put the top half of your hair in a pony tail at the top of your head to keep it out of the way, then straighten the hair that's hanging down from root to top (slowly slide the iron down) Do sections about 2" wide at a time.  When you are done with the bottom hair, let the top hair down and do it again.  Good luck with your new "do".  It will probably look awesome!

Answer 6

No its really common for guys to use straighteners, even guys with short hair use them, get your sis to show you how to use them, much better than any how-to vid because most of us are pros!

Answer 7

nah man I use em, it's perfectly fine :]  

Answer 8

No it;s great to use them i use them on myself and other guys (and i'm not g*y if thats what your worried about being)

Answer 9

if your hair is really that curly then yes, but if not theres really no reason to. ask your sister to show you how to use it.

Answer 10

Answer 11

You cant get your hair to look good without them!

Answer 12
