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?

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.

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

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.

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.
