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: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.

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.

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!!

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!

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!!!
