Has anyone used a chemical straightener for curly hair?

Buying a straightener. It takes alot of work. BUt ifyou want straight hair.. its what you have to do.

ANd why would the japanese have permanent straighteners... they already have straight hair.

Has anyone used a chemical straightener for curly hair?

I use the ionic straightening stuff, but it didn't work.

It might just be because my hairdresser is incompetent.

Has anyone used a chemical straightener for curly hair?

I have really curly hair and my senior year I decided to get it chemically straightened and I had my hair dresser use the Rusk Chemical Straightener - Depending on how curly/course you are I had to use two and I was able to actually cut my hair off to a cute above the shoulder! If you don't want the chemical route definitely go with the CHI iron - it costs close to $150 but it is well worth it!!

Has anyone used a chemical straightener for curly hair?

My hair is chemically straightened and has been for about 8 years. My hairdresser does it and it works very well but it's expensive at 鎷?25.00 a time and needs the regrowth done every few months. I found using straightening irons too time consuming and the chemicals are less damaging to the condition, I find.

Has anyone used a chemical straightener for curly hair?

Chemical traightener works like a perm, only it is to straighten hair instead of curling it. Chemical traightenning will help ease up your curls if you have curly curly hair, to get it near straight, you might have to make a return trip to the hair salon for a second straightenning. This is quite damaging to your hair just like perming or coloring would. Just know that it will not make your hair bone traight, if that's what your looking for, you'll be disapointed.

Besides chemical straighten, you can purchase a ceramic flat iron, get a pro one (about $100.00- $150.00) dont get a cheap one from the drug store (cheap flat iron will only damage your hair and takes forever to straighten).

Best kind of braids to result in nice, wavy-curly hair...?

I have medium-length hair, just past my shoulders, and I've recently been braiding it after a shower, leaving the braids in overnight, and taking them out in the morning for curl.

I was wondering, what kind of braids result in the best curl? And how many? One big French braid doesn't get my hair curly enough, but people keep telling me that more than one will make my hair too 'crimped' looking.

I have a bit of a round face - and hair thats too curly makes me look plump-er.

Thanks in advance!

Best kind of braids to result in nice, wavy-curly hair...?

Try doing an increasing number of plaits (sorry...braids!) until you get the effect you like the best. I would have thought two would not be too dramatic. If you start them as close to the top of your head as possible then you will avoid the annoying straight bit at the top. A French plait is a good way to achieve this and I find that adds a nice bit of volume too. I find the more plaits the merrier (though I can't do French plaits sadly) but then I do like huge hair! I would try four; perhaps experiment when you're not going anywhere the next day :) try 'looser' braids for a less frizzy effect.

Best kind of braids to result in nice, wavy-curly hair...?

You should dry your hair after your shower and put it into two french braids. To avoid the overly crimped look, don't braid them too tight. You can experiment with it to see how tight you should make it for however curly looking you want it. Best of luck!

Best kind of braids to result in nice, wavy-curly hair...?

I like to have curly hair sometimes too. With my hair, all I have to do is put it in two braids overnight after a shower. It totally works.( but after your shower, brush it first so it will be better in the morning. Then put in nice tight braids.) Sleep with them in and then in the morning take them out but don't brush them. It will look UGLY. (that is what the brushing before thing was for.) Good luck with your hair!

Hey i'm half chinese half black and i live in the Jamaica. I was wondering if anyone knew how to revitalize curly hair after it has dried and is losing its curl pattern WITHOUT shampooing. There are great products here in Jamaica but I'm just not sure which ones really work they have IC (Fantasia),motions,yellow,pantene,garnie... fructis and sum other stuff. Oh and i was wondering which leave in conditioners and good?

How do i get curly hair after it is dry and is losing its pattern without wetting it or shampooing?

what i usually do is put curling product [garnier fructise] or anti-friz stuff in my hair when i get out of the shower and if later in the day it starts to lose its curl, but is already dry, i just spray it with water until its damp and scrunch my hair with a teeeny bit of aussie leave in conditioner

How do i get curly hair after it is dry and is losing its pattern without wetting it or shampooing?

use garnier fructis curling mousse when your hair is wet, scrunch it in, it really hold your curls :-)

How do i get curly hair after it is dry and is losing its pattern without wetting it or shampooing?

I use Infusium leave in- that stuff is amazing! I have really think, curly hair and by the time I'm dont fixing half of it- the other half is dry! Spray some of that on there and it helps 100%! Also helps with frizzies too! And its not expensive- you can get it almost anywhere!

How do i get curly hair after it is dry and is losing its pattern without wetting it or shampooing?

I have naturally curly hair too.

Carefree Curl Gold is excellent for curls and moisture or you can use Kid Organics Moisturizing Detangling lotion. Both products help keep the curl and keep the hair soft. PLUS they are both well priced.

The best leave in conditioner I have found for me is by Silk Elements, it's the Leave-In Hair Moisturizing Cream. In fact the whole line of Silk Elements products works well on textures such as ours.

Ok so i have curly hair and all of my friends have straight?

Why would people make fun of you? You're lucky to have curly hair, it makes you special from all your friends. Wear your hair down, don't be ashamed!

Ok so i have curly hair and all of my friends have straight?

i have always wished for my hair to be curly again and my wishes have never come true. be glad your hair is curly, you can straighten it but i would leave it alone. your friends should not be worried about your hair, they should be more concerned over other things.

Ok so i have curly hair and all of my friends have straight?

NO!!!!

WHOA

AND NO AGAIN!!

of course not, otherwise they arent really your friends

wear it down! put some mouse/gel in it- maybe loreal and youll look beautiful!

Ok so i have curly hair and all of my friends have straight?

if your friends treat you differently because of your damn hair than that is messed up find new friends.

Ok so i have curly hair and all of my friends have straight?

Straighten it, if it looks stupid you leanred you lesson, if it looks good more power to you.

Ok so i have curly hair and all of my friends have straight?

hey dont b shy show wat u hav got. dont try b somethin ur not.

Ok so i have curly hair and all of my friends have straight?

be BOLD and do what you think looks good :)

Ok so i have curly hair and all of my friends have straight?

Get over it and do what you want. They ARE friends right? You don't always have to be nice to your friends but you have to be honest. If they don't like it what of it?

Ok so i have curly hair and all of my friends have straight?

Flaunt the fact that you are unique, the only curly haired girl in a group of boring straight haired girls? - If anything they'll be jealous.

Ok so i have curly hair and all of my friends have straight?

How cares what they think. Curly hair is much better and they are likely jealous of you.

Ok so i have curly hair and all of my friends have straight?

Curly hair is cute. You should be happy that you are different from your friends.

Ok so i have curly hair and all of my friends have straight?

The key is to be confident in yourself. and you will stand out more. When you are confident of who you are. Your friends would might even consider to have curly hair like yours.

Ok so i have curly hair and all of my friends have straight?

be yourself! I have curly hair too, and felt the same way... but years later I come to find out that all of my friends envied MY hair!!! If you want to wear it straight, get a big barreled curling iron or a flat iron :)

Ok so i have curly hair and all of my friends have straight?

I used to have this same issue. Just do it and a few people will probably comment on it... but more than likely they will say that they like it. Once you do it a few times you get used to it... and then it will all be like normal.

Ok so i have curly hair and all of my friends have straight?

If your friends make fun of you, they arnt friends! And who cares what other people think. And if it really bugs you that much, straten it. You can use a stratener or go to a professinall and have the permantly straiten it.

Ok so i have curly hair and all of my friends have straight?

Anyone who makes fun of you for having curly hair instead of straight is pretty pathetic.

Ok so i have curly hair and all of my friends have straight?

Hon, its ok. Just wear it down. Everyone has curly hair.

down there V

Ok so i have curly hair and all of my friends have straight?

do what you want! i am sure that you are very pretty, hair up or down. if your friends are really your firends they won't make fun of you.

Ok so i have curly hair and all of my friends have straight?

I can't really say if anybody would make fun of you. I don't know people that you go around with, but if you think that your friends would make fun of you...then they're not really your friends. You could always buy a hair straightner if you were that worried.

Ok so i have curly hair and all of my friends have straight?

Embrace your beauty, once you accept your self you will have a different outlook on your whole style in general. what you do with your hair among other things is all about you, not about your friends. if they tease you, shut them up. you do it for your self, not for them. at least i hope so

Ok so i have curly hair and all of my friends have straight?

any friend that would treat you different bc of your freakin hairstyle is a loser, and DEFINITELY should not be considered a friend by you. think about it.

Ok so i have curly hair and all of my friends have straight?

Stop worrying about your peers and do what you want with your hair! The truth is, they're probably envious since you have curly hair and theirs is straight. That's just the way life is. Be who you are and you'll always have the last laugh when someone picks on you.

Ok so i have curly hair and all of my friends have straight?

I would just be myself and wear my hair down. My hair isnt naturally straight either but i still wear it down and nobody treats me different. Trust my...just be yourself!

Hope that this helps a lot!

~s.b.

Ok so i have curly hair and all of my friends have straight?

why? they know u have curly hair. besides a real friend will treat u nicely regardless of hairtype.

Ok so i have curly hair and all of my friends have straight?

Your a pariah and an outcast. Everyone knows curly-haired people are...."different' than straight haired ones. Begone oh evil and strange one.

Really...what do you give a damn what you friends think? If they give you grief over it then I guess they aren't very good friends...are they?

Ok so i have curly hair and all of my friends have straight?

Do what you want! Your friends are more likely to be jealous of your fabulously curly hair than anything else.

Ok so i have curly hair and all of my friends have straight?

Ok, so first of all you need to build your confidence. Remember when we were little kids and play with something were we had to construct? Such as block, legos, clay. Well, it is the same thing with your self-esteem. Alright, so now to your hair, I have a friend in which she has super, super, culy hair and didn't care what other people might, do, say, or act. So she wore it down. It looked nice because she put mouse and stuff. Try to make it neat, And have fun, if they laugh they are not real friends sweetheart. Make yourself one of a kind.=)

Ok so i have curly hair and all of my friends have straight?

well if all ur friends have straight hair then u will b more noticeable and I like curly hair better anyway...

Ok so i have curly hair and all of my friends have straight?

A lot of girls would love to have naturally curly hair. If people make fun of you because of your hair then they're the stupid ones! Put some gel in it and leave it down or get a straightener and straighten it one day. Your hair shouldn't be that big of a deal. Good luck!

Ok so i have curly hair and all of my friends have straight?

Why would they make fun of you?If they do they are not true friends to be mocking you cause of your curly hair.You are lucky to have curly hair.I would love my hair to be curly and i bet they would 2.If you really want your hair to be straight save up and buy a hair straightner.(just don't use it too much in case you burn your hair)

Ok so i have curly hair and all of my friends have straight?

My best friend has extremely curly hair...and it's beautiful when she wears it down, I wish I had curly hair. But if you want to try a new look, you could always flat iron it, you will probably need someone to help you. If your hair is extremely curly it could take a while to do, I have flat ironed my friends hair and it takes about an hour, it looks pretty, but I like her hair best curly.

I want side bangs but I have SUPER CURLY HAIR should I get them?

I have super curly hair and I really want side bangs. Should I get them or no?! All my friends have them and they look cute but they have straight hair. Do you think it would look cute with my hair curly and then the side bangs straight????

Please awnser my question!!!

I want side bangs but I have SUPER CURLY HAIR should I get them?

I think that side bangs look super cute with really curly hair! You should definetly get them. Just be sure to get a hair straightener to straighten your bangs out so they are not puffy. You don't need high quality one for that just get a cheap 15 buck straightener. Good luck!

I want side bangs but I have SUPER CURLY HAIR should I get them?

deffinatly, i have mad curly hair too and i just straighten them every day using this VO5 stuff.And they look really good when you have your hair in a half ponytail and its curly and you have the sidebangs down and straight, but make sure you always straighten them or else they'll be a mess.

I want side bangs but I have SUPER CURLY HAIR should I get them?

ya that would look rlly good, curly and bangs straight. I have alot of friends that does it. But then again it depends on ur face shape and stuff

I want side bangs but I have SUPER CURLY HAIR should I get them?

I think it would be okay, but you might have to run the bangs through a straightner everyday to keep it under control

I want side bangs but I have SUPER CURLY HAIR should I get them?

no, i don't think this would look good unless you straighten your hair. Plus with you being the only one without it you will stand out more which is a major plus

I want side bangs but I have SUPER CURLY HAIR should I get them?

Dont cut your hair for side bangs. I hav super wavy hair and it doesn't work. Try flipping your part to the side and combing it down until it stays without frizz. I recomend doing this after the shower so it stays, then blow drying it so you kno it will not frizz out on you. :)

I want side bangs but I have SUPER CURLY HAIR should I get them?

Yes! It will look cute! And you can always flat iron your hair!

I want side bangs but I have SUPER CURLY HAIR should I get them?

I think it would look super cute. Most curly haired girls that I see straighten their bangs, but I'm sure that only takes a couple minutes each morning.

I want side bangs but I have SUPER CURLY HAIR should I get them?

Only if u can straighten it every day...I have wavy hair and when i got bangs, both even and off to the side, they would stick out in wierd ways lol so it would be better if u straighten it otherwise it might bother u.

How to tame down curly hair?

Ive got medium short ,thick ,dry and curly hair.so how can you tame it down, because its always "poofy-like" and such a hassle to handle. whats an easy home method of taming it?

How to tame down curly hair?

Do NOT brush your hair. Curly hair should never ever be brushed.

To "tame" it without straigtening it make sure you have a good quality shampoo and conditiner that is made specifically FOR curly hair.

Next, you should probably use a leave in conditioner too, curly hair is more prone to damage than striaght hair.

Try using a mousse and gently scrunching and twisting peices of your hair, and blowdry it with a diffuser (don't use a brush, just your fingers) or, let it air dry. If you blowdry it, you can also use a tiny bit of shine serum to make your curls look shiny and healthy.

Also, certain hairstyles are bad for curls. Nex time you got a salon, ask for something that looks good in curls, or straight.

How to tame down curly hair?

The easiest choice would be to go buy a straightener. Then some Anti-frizz shampoo. Plus theres some stuff you can get that when you straighen it it stays straight. You can get it at the supermarket.

Any cute ideas for curly hair?

i have medium length curly hair and i always put it in a bun and school is starting soon and i want some other cute ideas..any good mousses or any special sprays?

Any cute ideas for curly hair?

i don't know if this will work for everyone but it works for me. i don't have super curly kinky ringlets, but it is long (mid back) and very curly.

if you want to leave it down, don't brush your hair. i know it sounds funny but after two days of washing it and not brushing, the curls start to behave and look natural without the pouf.

i use a leave-in conditioner, wrap my hair in a towel (to soak up excess water), i get ready, walk around, do whatever i need to do, and when i'm ready to leave, i just take the towel off, leave the curls alone (no brushing, no touching, nothing) and let my hair air dry. after two days of not brushing, the curls start to look really nice, the less you brush and/or mess with your hair, the better the curls look.

i wash my hair everyday, it's probably not a good thing but i can't stand not washing it, and i do brush it, just not every day; i tend to brush it maybe once every week or two, just to keep the knots out.

i can't believe i spent so many years putting goop in my hair (mousse, gel, hair spray, you name it) when all i had to do was leave it alone.

hope this helps.

Any cute ideas for curly hair?

If you have not very thick to medium thick hair, you should try just putting some mousse in it and putting it down. If that looks to big/poofed try thinning your a hair a little bit first. You can also try a half ponytail. My friend does that and it looks great especially on curly/wavy hair. It's not kid-like and at the same time not too classy. You can always check magazines or ask your hairstylist next time you go to the salon.

Any cute ideas for curly hair?

i have the same length hair and mine is curly too.

what i do is i take my shower and then after kinda scrunch it to just let it begin to dry with its curl. then when it begins to get mostly dry, get some more water and calm it. then take some gel and comb it through the hair so that there are a bunch of thinner bunches of hair instead of clumps. then scrunch it all over and add as much gel as you want. but you will find that the more gel you add the more wet of a look you will get and i like less gel cause it looks a lot more natural. you can experience with it differently. and its not so much the kind of gel i think you use. because the kind i use is really cheap. its just how much you put in and how you style it. just let it be free. also wear it with confidence and it will shine and look brighter. hope i helped.

Any cute ideas for curly hair?

yep...go to aveda.com and check out the "be curly" I was cursed w/ little ringletts and being ask by snoby girls...."oh who did your perm" I say mother nature. this stuff is awesome. it makes your hair shine and the curls are not stiff and brittle like straw they are soft and sexy....check it out....it is a cream and you will not be sorry. it is $16 dollars and well worth it. good luck and love your curls....every girl wants 'em!!

Any cute ideas for curly hair?

i have REALLY curly hair, what i do is put a little bit of medium hold mousse in my hair after getting out of the shower, flip your hair upside down and scruntch your hair, then blowdry it on low heat, low power, if you want you can put a little bit of hairspray in it to hold the style all day.

also low strung pigtails also look great with curly hair. hope that helps %26lt;3

Any cute ideas for curly hair?

For my curly hair I shampoo and then towel dry. After that I use mousse (good hold) to hold the curl all day. The big key is to scrunch your hair while it is wet until it gets close to being dry. It keeps the hair from pulling down (gravity due to heavier hair because of wetness). After it fries you can either pull the top portion back out of your face or simply part it on one side and tuck behind your ear.

Any cute ideas for curly hair?

i hair spray my hair with dove hairspay after a shower to control the friz,but my hair still stays nice and moveable not sticky and hard but i just let it down i found that if you layer your hair a little the curls look better because they dont have so much bottom weight so i would try that just let your hair be free!!
