Straight hair?

I have wavy hair, what is a good way to make hair straight but protect it from the heat!?!? any good heat protectants?


the ones i have tried are:


chi: iron guard


nexxus: heat protex


and biosilk, i hated them all, someone please tell me your routine with hair bc i hate showing up at school with wet hair, its my pet peeve

Straight hair?
my routine is :


1. put in PAUL MITCHELL heat protetctant


2.use Dove Straight and smooth cream


3. put hair in to layers


4. Spray hair with Hairspray


5. straighten hair


6. brush hair out


I usually straten it the nite b4 and touch it up in the mornin
Reply:use a straitener
Reply:Wash hair with moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, like Dove or Pantene or Herbal Essence has a new line out. Then towel try and add straightening creme from Loreal called Hot Straight. It comes in a bright pink bottle and is heat activated especially for flat irons but also works for blow dryers. Next dry hair in sections using round brush (preferably ceramic) and a blow dryer. When completely dry use flat iron on about one inch sections of hair. You can use an anti-frizz finishing creme help control fly a ways. I like one by VO5 it comes in a bright red tube. Just put a quarter sized amount (more or less according to length) into hand rub together and run through hair avoiding the roots and paying close attention to the ends.


Hope this helped.
Reply:use citrus shine spray (I think that's what it's called) before you straighten it
Reply:they do have straightening shampoos..i have the same problem. sometimes i wish my hair was pin straight!! lol..look for a john frieda straightning shampoo and conditioner or any name brand!





hope this helped!

Reply:Ok i would like to know what you hated about them but heres another option Biolage Fortifying Heat protectant. Which is a lite cream but usually biolage for being natural stuff goes well with most people. I have used many and i really like that one. I have lots of wavy hair and seems like is not really heavy on my hair so if you have fine maybe just using enough will be good. Now for the last step , shine and smooth frizzies i used Biosilk oil you now but also loved redken smoothing serum on the smoothing line which is a brown pump.
Reply:Take a shower, and when your hair is wet, use biosilk ...and use a straightening shampoo like Neutrogena Shampo.. Or V05.. So Good luck! HaPpY HoLiDaYs =)
Reply:try this:


V05 Miracle mist.. it works and it smells good too. (its what I use before I straighten my hair)





My routine:


After I get home from school I hop in the shower, I dry it and straighten it that night and then the next morning I go over my hair one more time really quick with the straightner (to get rid of morning hair) then I go to school.... *repeat cycle*

What to do with my thick poofy hair..?

I have really extra-ordinary thick hair...I had layers but they kind of grew out so its like slight bangs from the sides...My hairs not that frizzy just poofy because its so thick...


Well I want to do something rather than just sticking it in a ponytail...Some products I have at home are...biosilk silk therapy,garnier fructis anti-frizz serum,mousse(sp?),and other random hair products...I have a blow-dryer and a straightener(which doesnt work too well),and a curling iron(never used).....Any suggestions/styling tips-casual-fancy would be great


Also its about 2-3 inches below my shoulder...if that helps

Reply:go to a proffessional salon, expennsive haircuts have the best quality.





ask for them to cut i above the shoulders and below the chin with small angles and no layers. if you have poofy hair, ur gonna end up having a bad hair day, and the layers will be in all the wrong places. anyways, dont ask 4 layers again!! but ask then to take a pair of thinning shears and thin the hair out dramatically, but tell them u dont want thin hair, u want fine hair. also, get a color gloss, that will help it regain natural shine. i agree, CHI is a great kind of flat iron for the days you want it straight, but if you want it curly, get a small barrell, and a thick barrel curling iron and do valumtious curls every where around you head.








once youve gotton home and showered for work/school, leave the hair wet and apply a shine boost that keeps the hair gorgeous and lightweight. i suggest pure color shine boody with anti fade complex. its in a squarish pink bottle at most good salons. if your having a bad hair day, and dont have time to set out your do', then accesorize, pullit back, but add a funky broach or slick it all the way up to a sleek stylish bun.








hope this helps!!
Reply:My hair used to be poofy. Maybe you need a haircut. Turns out, that my stylist forgot to thin my top layer, so I got this mushroom head look. Maybe you should go to a professional stylist and ask if your haircut was done right, and ask about how to prevent other problems.
Reply:Go see a hair stylist and tell him/her that you would like your hair thinned out.
Reply:Get a relaxer in your hair or get a better straightener CHI is the best, if you want to thin it out go get your hair done and tell them you want alot of layers tot hin it out. and let your hair dry naturally
Reply:We have like, the same hair


And my straightener sucks too.





HA!


Sweet, okay.


Well basically I had really awesome hair once, but it was totally by chance.


I was too lazy to fully dry my hair, so I only half-dried it, slept on it, woke up and I had funky kinky hair.





That would only work if you have straight hair w/ lots of wavy kinks ... it's hard to explain.


:) i'm interested in peoples answers to this question ...
Reply:i have the same hair.... i like to use either tresseme mouse or this extra strong hold mouse at ulta beauty anyway.... i use that and i make sure not to miss an inch of myhiar becuase... believe me people WILL notice.... any way.. after that is appled... do not touch it cuz the oil in your skin and the texture of ur fingers will take out the texture of what to mouse did. **you dont have to do this but it gives it curl: get a dry towel and put it in ur hands and scrunch ur hair in it DO NOT TOUCH AFTER.... let it dry for about 2 minutes by air then spray some hairspray in it and then it ok to touch =] hope it works


Keeping hair from breaking?

I have been having a problem with my hair breaking for some time now. My hair is very thick and full of volume, but it still seems to break alot more than normal not too far from the root (a inch or so sometimes). I'll have what seems like a large amount breaking each day. I've switched shampoo and conditions to BIosilk Shampoo and Biolage volume conditioner, as well as Redkin Extreme Anti-Snap leave in conditioner, and it feels healthier, but I'm thinking the current breakage may be tied to my styling habits (blow-drying with an ionizing hair dryer and flatening with a ceramic iron using Redkin Smooth Down oil). I also use non-alcohol based holding cremes. I believe I may be doing it too often, but I don't know how often I should be doing this without breaking the hair. My hair also tends to get rather oily after 24 hours, so I wash it daily. What should I do?

Keeping hair from breaking?
Keep using the Anti-Snap. Cat is another great protein treatment from the same Extream line by Redken.


Do NOT put ur hair into a pony while wet or twist it up into a towel and leave it. Also when combing it out use a very wide toothed comb starting at the ends work ur way up.
Reply:1 tablespoon honey 1 teaspoon viniger.. use it 20 mins b4 taking a shower
Reply:You can use a porduct calld AVEDA aniti-breakage. this really works if your hear is breaking. i use it and it has done magic for me.


I have medium length hair and love to wear it up in a pony tail, but...?

everytime I do those broken hairs fly every where. I would love to make it look pretty without having to glue it down to my head with hair spray. Does it need more conditioning or something else. Here is the whole run down on my hair. It is color treated Med. Brown (natural hair color is a sand blonde). Every morning I wake up it must be washed or it has enough oil in it to fry chicken. It is shoulder length with bangs and cut into long layers for when I want to curl it. (Which isn't very often) Maybe once a month. I am already using Loreal shampoo for volumn. John Frieda condition for brunettes. John Frieda hair glaze. And the Biosilk (hair oil) only on the ends to help keep them from splitting.


HELP ME! I want that perfect flawless hair I see on TV. Does any one here know there tricks?

I have medium length hair and love to wear it up in a pony tail, but...?
Constantly wearing your hair in a ponytail is what is causing the breakage. Your hair is already weak to begin with from coloring. Switch to an organic shampoo that doesn't contain sodium laurel sulfate or sodium laureth sulfate. Use a deep conditioner about once or twice a week. Only apply shampoo to your scalp, when you rinse the shampoo will drift over the rest of your hair and clean it without stripping it.





Buy shampoo here:

I'd also recommend installing a shower filter; you will see an amazing difference in your hair:

Your hair will just keep snapping off if you don't do something.
Reply:Grow your hair a at least three inches past your shoulder.
Reply:i didnt have to read far to see your problem.....you have color treated hair that tends to make breakage and if you wear it in a ponytail a lot that tends to break hair off too.....( and dont pull hair out either) no matter how much you want to in this situation. I would say stop coloring it let it get healthy again......that is what i did and then i went back to coloring it again and the breakage occured once again......LEAVE IT ALONE


Flat Irons JuSt DonT WORK!?

Before i bought a chi flat iron i had countless relaxers done. I still wasn't satisfied with the results of the chi iron, my hair looked fried, puffy, and straw -like. i bought Biosilk because i heard great reviews on that to, my hair somewhat improved but not a noticable change. Hearing from the popularity and results, i got my hair japanese straightened, it only lasted me for about a month! my hair reacted to it similar as a relaxer would. i'm a intern for a very upscale fashion company, i am expected to come into work with PERFECT hair, i can't get my curly hair back nor would i want to because of the before japanese straightening, it's permanent on my hair, i have split ends which i am getting cut soon and now my new growth is coming in PLEASE HELP ME! I AM WILLING TO TRY ANYTHING!

Flat Irons JuSt DonT WORK!?
Well there are several options.....first are you( if not, give it a try) taking pretty small partings when you flat iron your hair? It takes a while but works fairly well...If your hair seems puffy its generally just because it's not all the way smooth. Also, do you have anything you put in your hair before flat ironing or blow drying....there are some great products that are made just for flat ironing your hair -- they help smooth the cuticle...also on the when using your Biosilk or CHI drops rub the product in your hands for a minute first. Have you considered cutting your hair into a different style while you wait for your straightener to grow out. Research good styles for your face shape and lifestyle (i.e.--how long do you want to doing your hair in the morning?? ..etc) Just be careful if you color anything -- I recommend going to a salon and make sure you tell them about all the other chemicals that you've had on your hair ( some realxers don't mix with color, it'll kill your hair) Good Luck, It will take some patience but you'll make it...Also try Redken Heavy Cream, it will be a good conditioning treatment, all the flat ironing and chemical processing can really dry out your hair!
Reply:I have no problems with my CHI, but i do notice that it looks a lot better if someone else does it for me. Not sure if you have someone to help you with it, but that works. I love my chi!
Reply:i have a flat iron called remington and it works perfect if you have the time to straighten your hair. Then after straightening it put some gloss spray on it then comb it out and then its not puffy or frizzy. You can but it at target for 26.00 also it straightens your hair if it is wet or if it is dry. But take ur time straightening ur hair or otherwise it looks crumy.
Reply:Use a straightening comb.They work perfectly.
Reply:Girl, I have very curly hair, and I use this wonderful tool! It is a flat iron from Conair. It is red and black on the outside and cyramic gold on the inside. It's about one inch wide. It costs close to $50 dollars but is every bit worth the money!!!!!! I promise! You should use it on a very high setting for best results, but don't burn your hair. I am sorry, but I forgot the name, but you can find it in beauty supply stores. Look for the one that I described. It's distinctive looking, even on the box. I also recommend to protect your hair while flat ironing it by using Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum about $16. Worth the price as well and it lasts so long. IT IS THE BOMB! A MIRACLE WITH THE FLAT IRON!





Many flat irons aren't good and it's hard to find a great one, but I thought nothing would work till I used this girl! I promise. If you need a pic or description or better info about these things, email me: gatasalvaje6184@yahoo.com---be glad to help!

Curly hair care??

I've got long-ish naturally curly hair which is always at least a little bit frizzy. even on good days!! I currently use biosilk silk therepy, but it doesn't do what i would like. i want the really pretty ringlets with no frizz! i already have the ringlets i just need to loose the frizz somehow.... any sugestions?

Curly hair care??
Try Garnier Fructis shampoo and John Frieda Frizz Ease conditioner and any other Frizz Ease products. I straighten my hair usualy!
Reply:try the cat walk products you can get them at a salon, they are made for just curly hair..the biosilk is good too. dry hair naturally if possible to keep it from frizzing as much
Reply:Garnier Fructise!!! They work really good on perms and colored hair
Reply:Get u some aloe vera gel and get rid of the frizzzzzzz
Reply:use a diffuser
Reply:Biosilk has too much alcohol, and shine drop products are kinda light for what you are wanting. Try Regis Duel Action Gel Mousse. Its not a typical mousse that gives you the wet look. Put in lots and rake your hair with wide fingers, scrunch with a towel, then diffuse gently (don't fluff or tousle). Once its dry, scrunch to soften. It won't fizz and it won't look wet. You'll have large, clumpy ringlets. That is exactly what it does to my hair. Best stuff ever.
Reply:use a hair straightener!
Reply:Products with a little silicone in them help keep the frizz down (Redken Glass is a good one). Use a good moisturizing shampoo and let your hair dry naturally, or use a diffuser. Once your hair is dry, don't brush or run your hands through it.


My Hair Feels and Looks Dryer Than Before?

I just recently got my haircut (I grew it out for about 2 years). It's pretty long, about to almost my chin. Anyway I got it cut and right after it was cut it felt amazing and I could run my fingers through it and what not, my hairstylist used a flat iron on my hair and I loved the results, it looked badass! now I've been doing it my self for about 2 months I use "Sunsilk frizzy cream, Paul Mitchell's Super Skinny Serum, and Biosilk Silk Therapy" in my hair after everyshower, I take a shower every other day or every other 2 days. The thing is I can't run my fingers through my hair as easily as I could 2 months ago and it feels pretty bad compared to what it was 2 months ago :(, do tell me what you guys think because I'm somewhat ignorant when it comes to hair, also I only flat iron my hair for 15-25 minutes every other or every other 2 days... it looks a bit dry too! I would appreciate if someone could suggest what I can do to help my hair, I have naturally wavy/curly hair.Chi FlatIron

My Hair Feels and Looks Dryer Than Before?
a hair iron + silicone based hair care products = fried hair





Silicones have a low boiling point, and some are small enough to penetrate the hair shaft, below the cuticle.





So, just imagine this.. you apply a product containing silicone, and remembering a percentage of the molecules will be below the cuticle, then you use your hair iron %26amp; boil the silicone molecules.





The molecules above the cuticle are not too bad, however the ones that have penetrated the hair boil internally %26amp; cause severe structural %26amp; cuticle damage to your hair....





the answer - use silicone free products only


hope this helps





((( a hot hairdryer will also boil silicone)))
Reply:before drying your hair, make sure to apply a moisturizer on it to prevent it from drying out while straightening it.
Reply:The best way to find the best products for your hair is to try them all. That would be pretty expensive but go over to a friends house and use some of her stuff. See how it works, and just keep trying new things. Hair may work with products from this company and not that company....it's all trial and error.





If I can suggest something, I would suggest you try a hot oil treatment....for a cheaper way to have great soft and silky hair with less frizzies, warm up some olive oil (regular cooking stuff) in the microwave and massage it into your hair while it is dry. Wrap it up in a warm towel from the drier and sit for an hour or so. Maybe give yourself a facial at the same time. Then get in the shower, and shampoo out all the oil (because water won't get the oil out--oil and water don't mix) and then condition your hair. Viola! Beautiful silky hair.





The most key thing to protecting your locks is to stay away from all heat. Yep, that means no hairdrier, no straightner, no curling iron either....It's very hard not to advert to these products but just try it for a week. Don't blow dry your hair for a week....try it. I know it's hard not to but if you stay away from things with heat such as blow driers, curling irons, straightners, etc....you will notice a HUGE change in the feel and look of your hair. It will be so much more healthy.
Reply:You are likely over moisturizing. Believe it or not too much moisturizer can make your hair feel "dry". All heat sources will damage your hair. Even though you do not use it for long periods or everday you hair is not living, it is a dead extension made of protein just as your nails are. Every time you apply heat, the damage progresses and cannot be reversed. You can mask the damage but growing new hair is the only way to remove it. Use one simple mositurizer on your hair after washing and rinse thoroughly. You can use a heavier conditioner once a week or every other week as a treatment to help smooth the damaged hair. I would limit the heat source to avoid more damage.
Reply:The flat iron is drying your hair and you have to get a trim because it has been two months and it's time.





I prefer the Maxiglide by Maxiusbeauty.com because it incorporates steam to smooth out your hair without frying it like a flat iron would.





If the flat iron has a lower setting, you might want to experiment until your heating level is just warm enough to smooth out your hair without destroying it.





If there is a way you can go a little longer between using the iron, the healthier your hair will be. If you wear your hair flat and smooth, you might want to wrap your hair at night.





You would:


Brush your hair around your head and pin it up with flat hair clips. Then, tie your hair with a silk or satin scarf.





In the morning, let your hair down and comb and lightly brush your hair into your style.





Your products are fine but be careful handling the flat iron.
Reply:Go to your hair salon and ask the stylist what you should do, buy what they put in it.
Reply:use a heat protecting spray. flat irons are brutal for hair. at least you have the best straightener available, so you should be fine in the long run. just don't put too much stuff in your hair, that dries it out too.


I am a 16 year old african american girl, i have a serious problem with my hair breaking daily, what do i do?

my hair is a little longer than shoulder length almost to my bra strap and cut around my face, the typical cut, i have it permed maybe every 2 months, i use a flat iron and large curling iron on it, to change it from straight to curley, its all over the floor when i get through and getting shorter and shorter, i try not to put too much heat on it, and i use biosilk to smooth it , what can i do or what am i doing wrong?

I am a 16 year old african american girl, i have a serious problem with my hair breaking daily, what do i do?
biosilk is 4 white ppl use optimum shampoo and cond. and don't use alot of grease, if u can help it don't use any, only flat iron once or twice a week, use a dryer that u have to sit under not a blow dryer! e-mail if u need so more tips (ambphi@yahoo.com)
Reply:No one knows African-American hair better than a salon that specializes in it =) If you check around the internet or the Yellow Pages, you should find a salon with people qualified to help you. Good luck =)
Reply:All of the above advice is good. (I am bi-racial and an African American hairstylist recommended Biosilk to me, but I really didn't like it except as a finishing gloss.) Use a hot oil treatment, gentle shampoo and deep conditioner everytime you shampoo. Try not to use heat to style your hair everyday. Instead, every three days or even weekly, you could use a round brush and a hair dryer on low to straighten your hair, or let it air dry and then use hot rollers. At all times be very gentle with your hair, it is special to you and sounds beautiful.


Do you think the perms may be causing damage? Make sure you follow the instructions and don't wash your hair the day before. Or you might want to stop perming your hair. It sounds weird but I have been using Palmer's Shea butter lotion to smooth out my hair in really dry spots and it actually works great as long as you only use a touch where you need it.
Reply:Stop using so much heat and start wrapping it at night. Weekly hot oil treatments will help too.
Reply:use a heat protector on your hair and give it a good deep conditioner every 2 weeks


Whats the best heat protectant for straightening hair?

i use biosilk now, but my hair still gets really damaged. i have a whole lot of thick hair and the straightening really damages it. ive heard matrix was a good heat protectant, is that true? just wondering what you guys think. thanks.

Do you have to use hairspray when backcombing hair?

Teaseing i should say. Do you have to use Hairspray? What are some improvs? I have Garnir Fructis Glossing spray%26amp; G F Curling Spray. I have Bed Head Wax, %26amp; Biosilk, %26amp; Herbal essences Dangerously straight spray.

Do you have to use hairspray when backcombing hair?
not really


it would help tho





%26amp; try this


http://pursebuzz.com/?p=22


it's an alternative to teasing it
Reply:if the hair is super straight and fine, then probably it will be easier to use some sticky product. but if the hair is kind of rough or damaged, then not really
Reply:I have such fine and thin hair that I have to hair spray it or otherwise all the teasing I just did will fall out in a matter of minutes.
Reply:every spray you just mentioned is silicone based. that provides slip,and your 'tease' won't hold. you should try a hair powder. sprayed at the roots, it adds volume and grip.





i use bumble and bumble hair powder. it's in an aerosol can. it comes in different colors, and they blend roots away too. just spray it on in a sweeping motion, wait a minute, shake it out, and tease, tease tease....





tons of volume, and lots of staying power.





hope this helps
Reply:If you tease your hair, you need to put hairspray in for it to stay big. Personally, on my hair (relatively thick, razor cut, dark brown) I find that none of the more expensive hair sprays work, I buy home brand haha. It works like a charm, stays in and smells the best :) Of course, eventually the tease is going to go down, but hairspray should make it stay in a fair bit longer.
Reply:yes it'd b better if u do put hairspray b/c as dumb as it sounds the tease does go away, i guess it knows hw to go back down, i suggest the garnier fructis gloss..well good luck


Hair issues for naturally curly hair?

I need help from people with experience with curly hair and/or stylists!! I have naturally curly shoulder length hair. Over the years, and two children later, my hair is SO different and unruly!





The problem:


1.) VERY dry and frizzy. Especially on the top of my head. When I'm finished styling it, there is a halo of frizz sticking up. My hair feels like straw. Literally.


2.) Overprocessed. I've had it colored pretty much every 6 wks. in the last year. Highlights and lowlights. Used to highlight maybe twice a yr.





My typical routine/products:


I shampoo about every other day. Sometimes daily. (I know everyone says shampoo less often, but it's hard!) I've been using Pantene for curls for S %26amp; C. Deep cond occasionally, like Neutrogena mask. To dry I've been wrapping hair in an old t-shirt. (Some random tip I read.) Leave in cond, FrizzEase mousse, dry with diffuser, frizz product. (I've tried biosilk, glass drops by PM, Rusk, Fekkai gloss cream, etc, etc.


PLEASE I need advice!! Thx!

Hair issues for naturally curly hair?
Another girl asked this same question yesterday and this is the answer I gave her.





"I have the same hair, overprocessed and a natural poof. When i want more defined curls I usually shower at night and then while my hair is wet I'll rub shine serum through it and then I'll take strands and curl them loosely( not tight ) around my finger and then bobby pin the curl. I do about 40 strands and then spray it with a very little bit of light hold hair spray, go to sleep, wake up take out the bobby pins and ,wallah , i have bouncy (not tight) full locks of soft curly hair. it works really well."





Other things I can suggest are getting a relaxer for your hair, it will calm it down tremendously. I really like Redken shampoos and conditioners for my hair too. The All Soft works the best.





Your hair cleaning process is probably incorrect as well. When you shampoo your hair, you should be massaging the scalp and giving the shampoo time to penetrate into the hair cuticles, so let the shampoo sit for about 2 to 5 minutes. the same with conditoner, allow it time to penetrate and do its magic. Rinse out shampoo and conditioner with cold water when you're all done, another frizz reducing trick.
Reply:Hi there,





To start, you should start washing your hair every third day. Especially if your hair is dry already. If you are having a hard time with that, you can buy some dry shampoo and sprinkle it in your hair for those days you want to wash but shouldn't





The more you highlight your hair, the drier it's going to become. If you want healthier hair, make your hair darker, not lighter. If you must go lighter, make sure you are using a good conditioner.





Bed Head is a good product line for color treated hair. You can pick a shampoo and conditioner based on your hair.





Your hair might be feeling greasy because you are putting too many products in it. If you are using a leave in conditioner, you should not be using a regular one in the shower.





Another product you may want to try is Kiwi by Loreal. You can get the shine spray to tame those frizzies.





HTH!
Reply:Hi there. I too have naturally curly hair %26amp; after years of tinkering with it %26amp; product experimentation I have finally found something that works.





1st STOP washing your hair with that horrible crapTene. You might as well be washing your hair in rubbing alcohol. Those drug store product contain drying agents that strip your hair of its natural oil %26amp; cause more nasty frizz. Yes salon products are different they are made with more moisturizing agents. I understand the need to wash your hair daily but if you must Use a sulphate free shampoo to wash your hair with. Try Devacare No Poo or Lo Poo most of the time. Then maybe 2x a month use a shampoo that contains sulfates but make sure its mosturizing and specific to curly hair.


2. Condition your hair everyday. In fact you really should just run conditioner through your hair daily instead of shampooing. I like the Devacare 1 conditioner, but the Redken Moist Curls conditioner works well as well as the Bumble %26amp; Bumble curly hair conditioner.


3. After your rinse out the conditioner take a little bit %26amp; run it through your hair top to end but dont rinse out. Squeeze out ALL the excess water but dont towel dry your hair. DONT wrap a towel or shirt or anything. Just squeeze out the water %26amp; clip your hair up.


4. Products. STOP using anything with alcohol in it as it only dries your hair out and causes frizz. Mousse has tons of alcohol %26amp; its volumizing -- ie. just makes your hair frizzier. Use a product specific for curly hair. Aveda Be Curly styling cream, Devacare Angell, Bumble %26amp; Bumble curly styling gel etc.


5. Part your hair into 2 sections. Then run the product from root to ends of your hair. Then use a bit more product to style your hair - depart. Just let your hair dry naturally. DO NOT use a blow dryer but if you must use a LARGE diffuser. Set the dryer on cool and keep it as far away from your hair as possible %26amp; dry slightly.


6. DONT TOUCH your hair while its wet. Once its dry you can run a little bit of glossing/anti frizz serum like FrizzEase in your hair. DONT COMB or rub the curls. Just kinda fluff the serum into your hair.


7. For the overprocessing issue. You should use a deep conditioner 1x a month. Try to get a protein based deep conditioner like Phytojojoba or the like. Dont use it more than 1x a month as it'll make your hair more brittle.





Yes this seems like a lot of work but its not. Your actually going to use less product %26amp; spend less time dealing with your hair. Remember less is more.





If you need place to buy products then go to www.naturallycurly.com They have a ton of products that are specific to curly haired folks.
Reply:I think part of the problem is using products with sililcones and sulfates. The plastic just coats your curls and looks good for a bit and then the dryness and frizz sets in because of all the plastic build up. The sulfates just cause dryness. A good cleanser and conditioner without sulfates is Devacurl. The Care line of this product is great for color treated curls. Use your pantene once a week just to clarify if you want to. Good curl products that are water based are Curly Hair Solutions Curl Keeper which you put on when hair is really wet. After the tshirt drying which is a great idea! Then follow with Ag recoil for curl definition and keeping the frizz away. I work at naturallycurly.com where you can get all these products and more. You will love your curls when you use these great products!
Reply:Couple things to try: don't blow dry, even with diffuser. Let it air dry. Try using conditioner in the shower, rinse, then put a little bit more in and leave it in (doesn't have to be specifically leave in conditioner). Scrunch hair with towel to get out some of the moisture, then let air dry. If you can, do your hair at night, including gel or mousse, then let it dry naturally overnight. You should wake up with the best hair ever. If all else fails, straighten it with a Chi (and only a chi) straightening iron. If you do this for a few days in a row, chances are your curls will relax a bit on their own.

Reply:I've read the book "Curly Girl", by Lorraine Massey. She gives a lot of great tips and home recipes to keep your curly hair looking great. I've tried a few of them and so far, I love it!


Also in the book she recommends some salons specialized on treatment of curly hair, although these are kind of expensive.
Reply:My long hair is very fine, rather thin %26amp; curly. I really make an effort not to torture my locks. I looked up natural / homemade hair conditioner recipes. Some say mayonnaise, some say a blend of mashed avacado %26amp; mayo. I like plain mayo. I put it on clean hair (no products left on like spray or mousse) but not wet hair. Then I put on a shower cap %26amp; a ski cap, %26amp; wear for an hour or so. Wash well. Also, I find that Pantene dries my hair out. I use Triple Moisturizing Neutrogena shampoo %26amp; conditioner. I love their shine serum oil. Another tip said to rinse with the coldest water you can stand when you wash you hair. This causes the cuticle to lie flat.





I also am hypOthryroid which can cause hair to be dry %26amp; break easily. You may want to be checked for that as it can lead to serious other issues.
Reply:I share your frustration. The problem is the products you are using. Hair gloss or shiners won't fix it. That's like caking on make up to a face full of acne. Go to the root of the problem. Literally. Ulta beauty stores carry the best selection of products. Matrix has worked the best for me, and believe me, I've tried every brand! I recommend Matrix Sleek Look. It comes in orange bottles. It smooths the hair cuticle (outer layer) without leaving your hair flat. They always have deals like Shampoo %26amp; Conditioner $28. Do a deep conditioning treatment once a week using Good products. Don't ever shop at a regular store for hair products. Remember, you get what you pay for. You can buy sample size cond. treatments at your local beauty supply for under $5 which is enough for 1 or 2 uses. Matrix Biolage Hair Glaze is THE best product I've found for my hair. It separates the curls and keeps them frizz free. Never wrap your hair in anything! That creates frizz. Always use a diffuser and a professional hair dryer from beauty supply. This is all you need for great curls.
Reply:okay first thing I speak from experience my hair sounds just like your it feels like straw and is very very dry and I dyed my hair a lot last year.... so here's what's first


the frizz ease stuff literally gives you frizz I used it.


try using Garnier fructis sleek and shine shampoo and conditioner, wash hair every day use the conditioner every other day otherwise you'll get a build up so then when you get out put some length and strength cream in your hair by garnier, then after you work that through your hair put a little bit of anti frizz cream in your hair by obviously garnier.


then brush it through your hair and and part it where ever, take and twirl little sections of your hair around your finger so it looks like a spiral then when you've done that with all your hair use your diffuser but don't take it all the way up to your scalp only do it on the tips then when the tips are dry leave the top part a little damp and and let it air dry.


trust me it worked for me and it took me along time to figure out this stuff but try it because it sounds like my hair.


I hope I helped.
Reply:I too have dry frizzy hair, and all I do to mine is wash every other day or so; wrap in a towel to dry (probably a horrid thing to do who knows) and use a straightener a few times a week...I use Treseme (Spelled that wrong I know) shampoo and conditioner, w/ various leave in conditioners/ frizz products..I wish I could me more of a help, it does seem the older I get the worse it has become.


How come when I straighten my hair, I can't get it to be shiny?

I have a good straightener. It has ceramic plates and was expensive. Now my hair is healthy and is shiny when I dry it naturally. But when I straighten it, I want it to be really silky and shiny. Any recommendations? I tried biosilk but for some reason, it doesn't work on my hair. I know it doesn't work on everyone though. I also use matrix sleek styling cream which makes it softer, but I want SHINE! ; )

How come when I straighten my hair, I can't get it to be shiny?
To get rid of frizz, I use Bedhead's Spoil Me. You just spray it on your hair to prevent flyaways. Then I use RedKen's Glass for shine. You can use it on dry or damp hair.
Reply:maybe your hair is not one of those hair that are very shiny i know my hair is not that shiny so i ues GARNIER FRUCTIS STYLE (GLOSSING SPRAY )
Reply:I just bought this product by TRESemme that works really well on making your hair really shiny. Make sure to not spray too much on your roots as it will make it feel too greasy.
Reply:It burns your hair so the hair gets all dry and frizzy. I would use the Pantene Pro-v (whatever your hair color is) expressions. It worked great for me!
Reply:if the biosilk serum doesn't work, I don't know what will...try some products by pantene pro-v
Reply:Put moisturizing hair creme on you hair before straightening, try a light hair oil before straightening or spray a light mist of Oil Sheen after straightening. Out of those three options you should see some shine
Reply:you need that pantene pro v crap that stuff works wonders!!
Reply:you need to put some shine gloss to your hair and then it will look healthy and shiny
Reply:put some good shiny grease
Reply:because straighteners dry out your hair, go buy some spray biosilk and spray in after straightening
Reply:Because straightening is so bad for your hair, it dulls the cuticle, so it doesn't shine. You could use a silicone product to get artificial shine, or you could just TAKE CARE OF YOUR HAIR.
Reply:There are lots of shine products but get some Frizz Ease, by John Freida. There is also a shine product from Garnier Fructise.

Is Chi Flat Iron gr8 4 poofy hair?

im tlkin bout REALLY POOFY HAIR.........like wen it dries it expands into da form of a pyramid....10 pts will b awarded.......oh and another q......will biosilk pomade help poof if i apply it wen my hair is wet and sleek? thnx!


ps my hair = STR8! not curly

Is Chi Flat Iron gr8 4 poofy hair?
I'll be honest.... being that I've been in the hair industry for almost 8 years now, I used to use the Chi Iron when I worked in the salon.





I had to buy 4 because each and every one of my Chi's broke down! Those are one of the most horrible iron's I've ever used. And it's not just me. Everyone in my salon went through this. Tons of wasted money on those things.





You want sleek and smooth hair? The BEST product that you can use, and it's so much more less expensive than buying an iron, is called Super Skinny Shampoo and Treatment.





I have straight hair as well, but it gets poofy too. Almost frizzy poofy! This shampoo and conditioner is made by Paul Mitchell. You HAVE to buy it in a salon. Any salon that sells Paul Mitchell will have it. (And it smells great!!! you'll fall in love with just the scent of it alone!)





There is also a serum that goes along with it. You put only about one or two pumps into your hands and run it through your towel dried hair, blow dry and using these products all together, you're going to have the shiniest silkiest smoothest hair you've always wanted!





But, remember, you have to buy this stuff in a salon. Its not that expensive either, and you only need to use a small small SMALL amount! Only about a quarter sized amount of the shampoo and conditioner, and only up to TWO pumps of the serum. It should last you a good six months, too.





Try, fall in love with it, and enjoy!
Reply:YES! my friedn has a chi and her hair is wavy buit sooooooooo pooofy. it works great :D ut it takes a while
Reply:i wouldnt buy one if i was you they are expensive and break easily


if u go to the mall in a stand is a straightner called le angelo it is pretty expensive but if u negotiate with them they will lower it i go tmine for $70 it works 10 x better than chi
Reply:YES!! It will work. i wish i could show you before and after pics of me. My hair would not even go straight with a relaxer!! I use a Chi Iron and it works. I use biosilk when it is wet, let it dry natural and then flat iron it and put a little more biosilk for my flyaways in the front, not too much though! By the way I'm a cosmetologist so trust me it works!!
Reply:My hair will also look like a pyramid!!! I also live in a very humid climate and believe me I've tried every product out there. I wish some one would have told me to get the CHI flat iron sooner. I also use CHI products and love them. Paul Mitchel Skinny Hair is great too. Next time you go to your hairdresser tell her the problem of the pyramid and if she's good she should be able to layer your hair in such a way that it decreases that pyramid look. Mine did. Again the CHI flat iron is fabulous and if you can afford it the blow dryer is too.


What is the best product to use on your hair to protect it from the heat of a flat iron?

I have sort of wavy and frizzy hair.





Oh and something BESIDES BIOSILK!!

What is the best product to use on your hair to protect it from the heat of a flat iron?
My favorite is Joico Smoothing Balm, it has a lower ph and is heat activated, this not only protects the hair but makes your hair easier to style......
Reply:I once read in Cosmo that Loreal Hot Straight, Studio Line works the best. That's what I've been using.


But ... I just found out that Loreal does animal testing so now I'm looking for another good one!

My hair WON'T HOLD COLOR!!! Help!!! :(...?

In the last two years, my hair has been bleached and redyed three times (please, don't criticize me, I realize how stupid this was). It's brown and I originally dyed it black and my husband hated it so I had to bleach it and I also put some highlights in it. Then, I decided to go ALL LIGHT blonde. That was too expensive to keep getting my roots done so I went back to brown (from a bottle).





Now, my hair will NOT hold color virtually AT ALL. After two shampoos with very expensive Wella hair care for color trated hair AND with cool water, the color is virtually gone. I'm left with brassy/orangish colored ends that feel like horses hair.





After I get out of the shower (wella shampoo and conditioner) I put a leave in conditioner/detangler on and then Biosilk on the bottom half of my hair (the dry parts).





Any suggestions? (please!!!) lol

My hair WON'T HOLD COLOR!!! Help!!! :(...?
DEEP CONDITIONING! leave it in for about 2-3 hours and hold a hair dryer to it so it can work better do it every 2 weeks. also the reason why it dont catch the color is b/c you have dyed it too much so your hair doesnt hold the color in it. so i suggest using those semi permanent to cover that color you have right now but no permanent color though the more you dye it the worse it will get.


semi perm. colors dont damage as much as permanent color so its ok to use,


deep treatment lots of it and get good deep conditioner not those cheap ones or hot oil ones they dont work. if you can try getting a brand called emergency 911they sell it in one time packets or bottle its kinda pricy butit will really help your hair.
Reply:if you're dying yourself, then make sure that you're not using washout dye. also try to get a kit that comes with a tube of color-saving condition, because its stronger than other color-safe conditioners. for highlights try john freida's highlight activating line.


Ok I really need you guys right now...I was wondering....it's about striagtenning your hair! PLease help!?

OKay so I have like starightened my hair a lot of times, and yeah the hair is straight but it is not silky and glossy, so I decided to hear from you guys, is there anything other than biosilk that will help, or is it that I do not know how to straighten my hair properly, so like how many secons do I leave my hair straightener going through my hair? Please help me, I really need you guys right now!

Ok I really need you guys right now...I was wondering....it's about striagtenning your hair! PLease help!?
A Chi hair straightner works the best! They retail for about $100.00 or so, but I got a brand new one on E-Bay for $25.00. The Chi brand hair serum works the best I think too, for the silky and glossy look. Just make sure to use a leave in conditioner so you aren't damaging your hair too much, or you won't get a silky look, but a very dried out look instead. Good luck to you and I hope this helped!
Reply:I have naturally very curly hair and the only straightener that has worked for me is the Chi. Buy the Chi along with the Chi silk infusion serum and I would be extremely suprised if it didn't work for you. If your hair is very dried out ceramic irons won't do much so keep that in mind as well.
Reply:It sounds like it might be your straightener. Try a ceramic one and use a straightening balm before you straighten it. Your hair is probably fried since you straighten it a lot. Try a deep conditioner like a hot oil treatment
Reply:Frizz Ease is pretty good. You can get it at walmart for pretty cheap. Just don't use too much or it will make your hair look greasy.
Reply:1)use the shampoo link below 2)THere a kit by maxis with some shine stuff but both works !
Reply:Try using a straightening shampoo and then use the straightener. Or use conditioner, that usually leaves my hair looking sleek and glossy.
Reply:First off what kind of condition is your hair in? If you have been straightening it alot without the right product, it could be pretty dried out. So perhaps you should consider asking your hairdresser to put a treatment in it. You can alos buy these treatments yourself from hairdresser supply shops, like kerastase. Then you need to use a mosturising conditioner. You could try using a pre treatment spray, like GHD oil. It stops the straigtener damaging the hair as much. After wards put a gloss in your hair. Clinique have a great one. You can get all this stuff on strawberrynet.com, who are really cheap, well, for Europe anyway!
Reply:there is an awesome product that is also cheap. It's my favorite (and i straighten my hair every day) it's called GOT 2B shine spray. (abouyt $7 a bottle and it lasts me about 4 months (everyday use) TRY IT, YOU"LL LOVE IT!!!

I have Biosilk Silk Thereapy. It says "Cure Soyeuse" on the bottle. Will this help stop frizz? Since it's flammable, is it still okay if I use the blowdryer?

My Hair Doesn't Stay STRAIGHT. Help!?

Ok, my hair is naturally slightly wavy...(but by no means straight) and is kinda damaged (frizzy, some split ends). I have such problems with my hair. I try to straighten my hair, but it ends up looking like...well, crud. I put in all of those hair products but they don't seem to work, even BioSilk (maybe I'm using it wrong?) and my hair just ends up...unmovable, kinda plastered with weird waves and really icky. Especially the back. So I need some help!!!! Products, tips??





Also, how can I enhance my natural wave?





Oh, and my hair is probably half way down my back, and brown.

My Hair Doesn't Stay STRAIGHT. Help!?
Hey I got the same problem and my back part of my hair gets a puffy and frizzy!! The best u can do is deep condition ur hair and then when ur done put hair cream that is good for frizzy hair(like my hair) and blow dry not all the way thought and then use the straightner thats wat I do and ppl been thinkin I have nautrally straight hair lol wish u luck with ur hair u should maybe try putting a little bit oil to make it more stuff but not to much or ur hair will smell bad
Reply:if ur hair is still wavy after u straighten it, then maybe its ur iron. I have an 150$ iron and its well worth it. remember to straighten ur hair by small sections. don't just grab one side and straighten it then assume its all gonna be perfectly straight..u say ur hairs damaged? maybe its time to trim the burned ends..


Straightening products question?

I have read that Biosilk was one of the best serums to use for straightening. I have been using Paul Mitchell Skinny Serum. I Really like it a lot. Since I am a product junkie, I am always looking for something better and sometimes something cheaper. There are so many silicon cone based serum on the market and I am having trouble deciding what to buy next. Can anyone suggest a good product that would make my super thick curly hair straight. Oil/silicone/wax based products only. Cream products make my hair frizzy.

Straightening products question?
I have used both Biosilk and the Paul Mitchell Skinny Serum. Paul Mitchell's works the same but gives you a lot more product for your money. You could also try using a straighting shampoo and a tiny bit of Biosilk Silk Polish shining paste. Use a brush and blow dry your hair straight.
Reply:Try "Align" by redken, I just got it and I really like it! Hope that helps, its going to be about 17 dollars.


Hair help???

i have frizzy/wavy hair and i use a solia flat iron and biosilk on my hair and i can get it board straight and perfect but as soon as i go outside(in FL) after about like 10 minutes my hair poofs...is there anything to keep my hair straight even when its humid?

She works for hair stylest before. below is the web site. not expensive product but get the new one that came out. it wonderful. You dont have to order it online you can get it in walmart or food stores.
Reply:try charles worthington straigntening balm or joh freida serum
Reply:The best product I have found is Aveda anti-humectant. Ask for application advice in the store because if you put on too much, your hair looks really gross and greasy, but not enough doesn't do anything. It won't stay board straight in the humidity, but it definitely helps. No frizz and no fly-aways. It is expensive, but depending on how long and how thick your hair is, it can last for more than 6 months :)

Curly hair help. New cut, style and color? pics included?

Ok, here is the problem. I have long curly hair that I straighten on occasion. I use biosilk and a hot iron like the chi. The highlighted parts of hair has started to break off ( I have not highlighted my hair for 6 months now) and the re growth is only 3 to 4 inches long. I don't know what's in for curly hair ( cuts and styles) that can also be straightened and still look good. I am also sick of the color, though natural, I want to try something new. I don't want to have someone else do my hair because no matter where I go or how much I am charged I am not happy with results. They always jack up my hair. Here are a few pics of my hair, please help me with this. Thanks in advance!

Curly hair help. New cut, style and color? pics included?
You have really pretty curls. My hair is naturally frizzy and i use loads of product to weigh it down so its curly. I know what you are talking about with people ruining your hair. One thing I learned to do is ask a person how comfortable they are cutting curly hair first , it draws up so much. The truth is the best person to cut my hair happened to be black. The lady i go to knows how overly curly hair reacts when you cut it. My advice go in knowing your style. Don't let people influence your choice when you are in the chair. That is when i make my biggest mistake
Reply:If you are in LA, go to Trilogy hair salon in the valley. And use Mixed Chicks products to tame frizz.
Reply:i have medium length curly hair, and alot of times when i would go get it cut it ended up poofy. i really like my hair now after getting a new type of haircut. i've started getting short layers starting at my chin and it adds curl and bounce to my hair and it looks good when straightened so that might work for you too! good luck!
Reply:First you need to deep condition your hair ( make sure it has protein in it so your hair stops breaking off). I always look for someone with the same type of hair as mine when I get it cut. No matter what they say not everyone can cut curly hair. If you are sick of coloring it try a glaze. Basically it's something thats going to just brighten your hair, not color it. You could also get a clear shine put on. Neither of these are damaging to your hair and there is no up keep on them. You do them when you want and there is no line when your hair grows in because it's not changing the color of your hair. Hope this helps a little! By the way curly hair with long layers is the look now.
Reply:well if u are sick of the color dye it burgundy (spelling?) if u dont know wat that color is, just go to the salon and ask to see it and straighten it and cut it up to ur shoulders u will look grate! this is exactly wat happened to my sister. and add some layers or just side swept bangs!

Help out my hair?

I straighten my hair a lot. My whole head isn't in TERRIBLE condition, but it's not great either. Basically, my roots and about halfway down my head is good. But the rest of my hair is dry and my ends are split really bad. I've trimmed off all the split end but there's still a lot of dry hair. I plan on letting my hair grow and just keep getting the ends trimmed off until my hair grows out completely healthy again. In the meantime though, anyone know any products to help my hair - shampoos, conditioners, masques, treatments, styling products? Right now I use L'Oreal Nutri Gloss shampoo and conditioner, and I switch off between Redken Anti-Snap and Biosilk therapy

Help out my hair?
My hair use to be really dried out from straightening it and even more so through a dye disaster. It felt horrible so I talked to people at hair salons and they suggested a protein treatment. It's not that expensive and they basically wash your hair, add the protein treatment which puts protein and nutrients back into your hair, let it dry and then wash it out. It works great and your hair will feel perfectly healthy again. In the meantime I would use a leave in conditioner in your hair and go a couple of days not shampooing your hair but just washing it with conditioner. Shampoo tends to dry it out. Garnier Fructis has some good leave-in deep conditioning products. Just make sure they say deep conditioning since that is what will really help restore moisture to your hair. Good luck!
Reply:try using sunsilk therma shine
Reply:Hm. Maybe you should just deep condition your hair? It may help..
Reply:Herbal Essences Hello Hydration shampoo/conditioner is good (and it smells great) but you don't wanna use too much on your hair. Right now just keep it easy. Don't dry your hair with a hairdryer and before you go in the pool put in a leave in conditioner. If you can find a sunscreen for your hair that will help it from any uv damage. I hope this helps!
Reply:well obviously they are dry and stuff cuz like u sed u straighten it alot. try to cut down.
Reply:Try getting some deep- conditioners, and leave-in conditioners!!!!!! Not using a lot of products, ot straighteners and curl on-irons helps too!!!!!!!
Reply:I read if you sometimes skip shampoo and use just conditioner your hair won't be as frizzy. I would just suggest not straigtening your hair as much. But that is what dries your hair out, there isn't anything you can do about that.

Women's opinion on guys with long hair (and how they manage it)?

I've decided to grow my hair out and I'm willing to do what it takes to manage it...IE blowdry and yes even use a Sedu flat Iron...I will also use a lot of products along the way to protect it, but I just do not know what thermal protectant to use before I blow dry my hair...I will be more than likely be using BioSilk Therapy before using a flat Iron...and use PHYTO's brand along the way as far as the need for heavy moisture is concerned.


But my 2nd question is, what do women think of (straight) guys with long hair....


and what is your reaction when you see a guy and notice the fact that he has used a flat iron and etc...do you think it takes away from his masculinity?

Women's opinion on guys with long hair (and how they manage it)?
I personally detest the look of a man with long hair. That being said, being well groomed is always a plus. You can't generally tell a person's product choices by the style they wear unless he or she talks at length about them. I would suggest (if you decide you must have long hair) to wear it casually, no matter what your grooming routine, meaning once you get out into public your attitude should convey that's the way you rolled out of bed. I think it's a confidence thing...if you don't call attention to your appearance (verbally, or with tics like constantly fussing/fixing) it suggests that you are confident with how you look. And, as is generally acknowledged, confidence is attractive in a man.

Reply:I graduated high school in 1989--so


I grew up with lots of guys that had long hair. And I have to be honest, I loved it then, but not so much now. I'd rather have a guy with short, natural hair than a guy who spends more time on his hair than I do!!!
Reply:I like long hair on men. But it should be looked after, that means, when growing it out, get it trimmed as you do so. Also I don`t think men should really be using flat iron etc. Long hair on men should be looked after, but natural. But it up to the individual....cant think of any men I know who do though....
Reply:I think it kind of depends...i think its kind of gross usuallly. Unless ur a dark skinned guy with dreds
Reply:For me honestly it is a HUGE turn off. I can not think of one man I have ever thought was sexy with long hair. It's just my personal preference, everyone is different, but for me It's VERY unattractive and feminine
Reply:if your gonna grow your hair long, don't use a flat iron or alot of chemicals. long hair is better if you can run your hands through it without crunching or getting your hands greasy. Just make sure you get it trimmed regularly so it stays healthy. some guys look really hot with long hair, but some look like they are stuck in the 80's. hope you look hot with yours
Reply:Personally i think that long hair on guys looks okay to just above shoulder length ( Bobbed Type Hairstyle) and think that you should just wash your hair with a good shampoo and conditioner, lightly towel dry it and brush it or comb into desired shape and let it air dry to accentaute any natural waves or curls in it





you should also put a deep conditioner on it every month and get your hair trimmed every two months to remove any split ends





I take it that as you mention straigthener's that your hair is either curly or very way





I personally would not use straigteners as heat can damage your hair, I normally use the Largest rollers possible to give Curly hair more volume and less curl. But as you are a guy you probably would not entertain this
Reply:Guys really shouldn't be doing that much with their hair. Straightners are strictly for girls only unless you are either gay or European....
Reply:I absolutely hate long hair on guys. It reminds me of Fabio and hes sooo nasty. When i see a guy with long hair that he straightens it using a Sedu like me and biosilk, i get turned off. too high maintenance. and yes i think it takes away from his masculinity and makes him look vain and kinda stupid. I think wow, this guy cares too much what he looks like and thats not healthy in my opinion. I like natural beauty. But thats my opinon. what matters is what you think. you'll want a girl whose attracted to what you like.
Reply:I think guys with long hair look really good. However.....The part where you are taking to Much care of it is where it goes wrong with me. It looks good on guys that have that type of personality, and I cannot imagine a pretty boy with this type of hairstyle, and pulling it off properly.


I like manly men. Long hair on a manly man is great. Pretty boys NAH!


There is a spiritual part of a man with long hair.


NOT religion, just spiritual, and in my personal vision. I don't know how others perceive this.
Reply:alot of women like guys with long hair....some are really hot!! but then again some look really bad with it, its how you carry it that matters...comb and wash it really good...blowdrying damages your hair.


Straightening hair?

I'm cutting my hair short and dying it blonde - something like Jessica SImpson's new style. My hair's wavy so I'm gonna have straighten it constantly which I don't mind but does anyone have any tips for what kind of heat protectant spray to use before straightening it? I already use biosilk to help with the shine and frizz. I'm gonna use treatments and hot oil on the side, hopefully it'l help. If you have any other tips to repair my soon-to-be dead hair, help!

Straightening hair?
oooo use the sunsilk pink 24/7 cream!! its really good !! i straighten my hair every second day and its not frizzy at all.
Reply:u can use water (i'm a boy so i normally do that) or you can use hair gel and try to avoid wearing hat, that'll destroy your hair!
Reply:Hey , I usually use 'GHD Iron Oil' it does the job great and you only have to use a little amount whenever you are straightening your hair ,





Take care

Which shampoo?!?

i either want to get redken all soft or biosilk silk therapy shampoo... has anyone tried these? which one do you recommend from these two?

Which shampoo?!?
redken
Reply:biosilk is better
Reply:I have not tried the biosilk (although I love their other products). I used Redken All Soft for two years and thought it was the best ever. Then this past spring I tried sleek. look by Matrix and I have not used Redken since!! I have frizzy color treated hair and this shampoo/conditioner is the best for smoothing it down and has a great smell! Sorry I couldn't be more help on the biosilk but I would advise using Matrix Sleek. Look over Redken All Soft any day.
Reply:biosilk
Reply:I have heard that redken all soft shampoo is great. but, personally i've never used it. I have used biosilk silk therapy shampoo though and i think its very good. I'm sure either one would be good, though.
Reply:biosilk it is much better
Reply:I would go for Bio silk I tried many shampoos, if I should pick from Redken or Bio silk..


New shampoo from SexyHair without sulphate is good if you want to try new.
Reply:im a stylist and am a big fan of the All Soft by Redken. i use it sometimes myself. it has good nutrients along with protein. Protein is the only thing that will repair the hair

Hair problem.?
use olive oil. buy a bottle of olive oil pour about 1 or 1/2 cup warm it in the microwave. then apply it to hair from root to end best result apply more to the end. Use plastic wrap and wrap it around your head for about 15- 20 minutes then rinse. it will make your hair smooth and frizz free
Reply:sounds like u need a deep conditioning treatment or your ends trimmed did u talk to a stylist? but my hair i use a good conditioner or something thats supposed to make it sleek, then i straiten it with silk elements,(from sallys) and a straitner with IONs in it (supposed to reduce frizz my brand is belson and i personally LOVE it) then i add some moisturizer after ive straitened it then i straiten over that again

I have the EXACT same problem,





1. I use Herbal Essences Pin Straight Shampoo and conditioner





and I always blow dry my hair NEVER straighten





2. I either use Suave Professionals Anti-Frizz cream (put it on when your hair is dry)


or Murrays Beeswax - Cream (( the suave one is less expensive)) but they both work pretty well
Reply:ways to kill frizzies:





1. water.


cheap but doesn't last that long.





2. leave-on conditioner


holds and conditions hair at the same time and adds fragrance(:





3. hairspray


most common solution to frizzies. it's quick, affordable and effective.





4. anti frizz spray


works! loreal is good.

6. anti frizz shine spray


definitely no frizz plus, your hair gets shiny at the same time! it's non greasy. good stuff.





try aviod blowdrying or using flat/curling irons. they dry out your hair real bad and make em` sitck out even more. let it air dry. good luck((:

Ahhh! hair help!?

i have very curly hair that i straighten once a week.


but when i straighten it, it looks rather dull.


i dont get it bcuz i have all salon prouducs[ redken, CHI, aveda, biosilk] and i also have a professional flat iron [sedu]


what am i doing wrong? i want to have gorgeous silky, shiny hair but how do i get that?

Ahhh! hair help!?
Use products that make your hair silky and soft. I like Porosity Control by Roux.





Next, detangle and let your hair get almost dry (you can put hair into a ponytail or two for this), but still has some dampness to it. Blowdry in sections. Spray in a few sprays of glosser (any reputable kind will do) about 10 inches from head and comb through to distribute well. This will preserve maximum shine and manageability. Then flat iron. This usually does the trick. A fresh trim helps the look too! Good luck!
Reply:How'd this work for you? Report It

Reply:may sound crazy but add 1 egg 2 1 cup shampoo rinse w/ COLD water or the egg will good n ur hair really works trust me!!!
Reply:I know what you mean, I have curly hair and occasionally straighten it. I dont buy into the product fads, though I do use a CHI straightener. Anyways heres my regimen that works for me!:





Shampoo with Baby shampoo [its MILD to the dry curls but removes build-up exceptionally well- plus it smells GREAT!]





Condition with Pantene. [pretty simply huh?]





Towel Dry and rub in dime sized amount of Smoothing Milk by Garnier. [works like a charm!]





Blow dry





LIGHTLY spray in SHINE! by VO5





Flat iron





And good to go! Hope that works for you =]
Reply:Well. Maybe you're not using the RIGHT salon products? Get something that you can use right before you straighten your to add shine along with your ceramic straightener.





If your clearly unsure, talk to your salon peoples.
Reply:i just straighten and blow dry my hair pieces at a time it flattens more and makes it soft....
Reply:i agree with atoli...as a hairdresser you might not be using the right products...get spray shine or super skinny serium from paul mitchell spray 1 or 2 pumps in your HANDS AFTER you iron rub in your hands and distribute through your hair starting in the middle and the excess goes on top...talk about shine baby!! but never greasy that's why you have to put it in your hands then run your fingers through your hair...ya, you will get the shine!! remember do it after you iron..trust me...good luck!
Reply:get a voluminizing spray or gel. if that dont work then go to a hair stylist and ask them for help.


It's A Ten Hair Products?

Has anyone tried to new salon products - It's A Ten? Everyone at my salon is going crazy over it, but im skeptical! I use salon products, mostly biolage, biosilk, bed head, and chi. I cant seem to find out who makes the product, so im kind of scared to use it. I guess if they're selling it at salons, its a good product. I do deep treatments on my hair, so i like to use a good, well-known product when it comes to that. The treatments i use are packed with proteins and vitamins, and i cant get any info on the its a ten...like "ingredients". I dont want to buy it if its just a quick fix for frizzies or highlighted hair...i need something thats gonna be good for my hair in the long run! Thanks for any info!!!

It's A Ten Hair Products?
I've been using it for a few weeks now and I really love it. I usually use products that I buy at my salon and my hair dresser recommended the It's A 10 because I tend to get frizzy hair because I blow dry my hair everyday and so far I don't have any complaints about the product. I have really light blonde hair and most products that reduce frizz and what not make my hair look really oily but this one doesn't at all. Even after i blow dry and style my hair with a curling iron my hair remains shiny and frizz free.


Best thermal protecting spray before blow drying?

I'm going to grow my hair out, but I do not want to damage my hair....well at least not all the way because I know heat will always do damage. Therefore, I was wondering what you think is the best thermal protecting spray...or balm or anything before blow-drying? I'm going to be using the PHYTO line of stuff when my hair does get longer in order to keep moisture and I will also use BioSilk Therapy since it is heat activated. But I just needed to know what you guys use and how efficient it is. Thank you for taking the time to read and answer my question.

Best thermal protecting spray before blow drying?
biosilk silk therapy. i also use frizz ease hair serum, but i also have curly hair and use a flat iron every day
Reply:I use the IC heat protectant spray when I'm blow drying, flat ironing etc.
Reply:ION ITS THE SISTER PRODUCT OF BIOSILK AND MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS


I have short hair and it's really poofy and straight (not frizzy), how can i put it down?

My hair (1 or 1.5 inches long), when slept on, is put down. After waking up and going to take a shower it grows poofy and straight up. I've heard about BioSilk Silk Therapy, does that help mend my hair down? If I grow my hair long will it go down? Or are there any methods to keep my hair down? (I don't feel like using gel/pomade because it gets ruined easy and not permanent for whole day)

I have short hair and it's really poofy and straight (not frizzy), how can i put it down?
hmm u can try mousse, its lighter and not as damaging to the hair especially if u get it alcohol free. u can also try hot oil treatments which u can get from any drug store to help with the dryness. and u can try hair serum if u dont want anything to harden it. u could also get a hair straighter and straighten it since it wont take very long because its short. and u can work straight hair girl! wear cute earring and make up to bring out ur eyes =)
Reply:you can use japanese straightening and then it will always be straight. last about nine montha and is around five hundered dollars.
Reply:have you tried a heavier conditioner to weight the hair down or a leave in conditioner that might help
Reply:I used to have the same problem. I grew my hair longer so that if it was really bad I can just pull it back. Otherwise I recommend VO5 Hair conditioning oil. It is usually in a tube and doesn't smell so wonderful but it works great! I am always trying new products anyway and I always come back to this. It is nice because it workds without heat. Just be carefull not to add to much because it can be greasy.
Reply:my hair used to be short n frizzy too. have u tried just straightening? if not, the japanese straightening is more effective if that doesnt work.

What are the best shampoos & are more expensive ones better?

my hair is somewhat frizzy without serium(i use biosilk silk therapy for fizz) and i use a flat irn everyday because i like it straight. any recommendations?

What are the best shampoos %26amp; are more expensive ones better?
Matrix Sleek Look is the best one for what you have in mind.
Reply:i use garnier fructis..and i love it. and i have wavy/curlyish hair so before i straighten mine i use john freda frizz control..it works good.
Reply:No. Let me tell you a little something, but it is a secret that you cannot share with even your closest friends. Well, maybe your CLOSEST friends but no one else LOL. If you look at what your paying for shampoo, let's say it is six dollars and eighty five cents. About 45 cents of that is production costs, about 13 cents is distribution, about two bucks is their profit and the REST IS MARKETING! So, if you buy generic what you ARE NOT PAYING is the 3-4 dollars for all that marketing and such a big profit margin. Same product that is the only difference.
Reply:you should try Head %26amp; Shoulders or Garnier, they work really good with my hair.
Reply:I have been using Pantene for years and love it. Makes my hair shiny and soft.
Reply:Garnier Fructis works really well. It makes my hair feel soft, %26amp; shiny.
Reply:i love infusium 23 both shampoo and conditioner its only around 5 bucks a bottle and it smells so good!
Reply:Matrix is a really good shampoo....
Reply:Nioxin Hair Products %26amp; Nioxin Shampoo are the very best for many reasons. Yes, expensive is better. Check out the link.

They carry wonderful products and you'll pay about the same for Pantene in stores.
Reply:I'm a hairstylist so this is my educated answer. I've tested P.H. levels in most of the grocery store brands and Aussie tested to be the healthiest store brand. The worst were Pantene Pro V, Thermal Silk, and Herbal Essence. They may seem to make your hair soft and shiny but the coat the hair with a build up. As far as professional products go there all good for your hair. It's just your preference and how much you are willing to pay. My favorite is Redken Products, they have something for every type of hair. And there reasonably priced. Do avoid over clarifying your hair b/c it can become brittle.
Reply:Biolage. Pricey but organic and smells amazing...plus they offer very tailored products for your hair.
Reply:i agree with the redken suggestion. i'd like to add that if you go to a beauty supply store (in michigan we have trade secret!) they sell them in shampoo/conditioner packages that save you a lot (i think redken is 41%) it makes it very close to the cost of higher end drugstore brands.
Reply:market got lots of good shampoos, that is hard to said whish one is the best, as here is not any shampoo that suit to everyone
