Can you use a flat-iron/straightener on straight hair?

I'm considering getting a straightener, and my mom is delaying on buying one with me because she doesn't want to get it yet. Meanwhile, I've been wanting one for about a year or two now, and I've realized that I want to make my hair pin-straight. I have naturally straight hair, but it tends to poof out in some places. Would a straightener allow me to tame those unruly ends?



Also, would it work for me? I'd like to have my hair really straight and try it out.



Thanks. :)



Can you use a flat-iron/straightener on straight hair?

Yea, it'll work. My hair is naturally straight too, but I like it pink straight, or flipped out sorta. You can do a lot with a straightener, not just straighten it. Tell your mom that, and you don't need to get a CHI one for like $150, I have a Revlon one, I think it's like Revlon Stylix or something like that. It's red and white, it was $20 or somewhere around there, and it works really good.

Ha thanks, and I meant pin straight, not pink. :) Report It



Can you use a flat-iron/straightener on straight hair?

We don't want no poofs around here



Can you use a flat-iron/straightener on straight hair?

If your hair is mostly straight it will definitely work on your trouble spots.



And if your mom won't buy it, save your money and buy it yourself =]



Can you use a flat-iron/straightener on straight hair?

Can you use a flat-iron/straightener on straight hair?

Yes the straightner will help with the poof depending on what kind you get. Also a anti-poof product will help if you are wanting it totally straight. I have naturally straight hair and i use a straightner and i do think you could work it....The style not the straightner.



Can you use a flat-iron/straightener on straight hair?

hair grows back. go buy a straightener and go to town with it lol. i use one. you should get this stuff called by l'oreal called "texture" hot style and straight spray. you spray it on your hair and then use the straightener. it smells good and it looks great =D no frizzies



Can you use a flat-iron/straightener on straight hair?

Yes it will work but remember to use a heat defence spray to help protect ur hair from damage then when ur finish ur a tiny bit of hair serum on ur ends



Can you use a flat-iron/straightener on straight hair?

yeah, it also gets rid of frizz. try buying a conair if you want somthing cheap but worth it. chi is the best, but since your hair is already straight it is uneccesary



Can you use a flat-iron/straightener on straight hair?

Of course you can, it will make your hair more smooth and the poofy places will just disappear.



Can you use a flat-iron/straightener on straight hair?

I think it would. I have very thick, curly, poofy, fine hair, and it does wonders to my hair! Try to find a straightener with gold plates and multiple heat settings, since different types of hair handle different temperatures better. Read the directions! And, if you plan to straighten your hair, make sure to use a heat protectant cream/spray and deep condition it with Suave Hot Oil once a week. I also like a straightening iron to curl my hair ends out or under, just twist your wrist!



Can you use a flat-iron/straightener on straight hair?

put a small amount of silk therapy on your hair in the "poofy" areas and run it through the flat iron. no harm, and bone straight

I have relaxed hair, straight hair, and i want curly hair....?

So i have a relaxer in my hair but i want to curl it without using a curling iron(damages), or curlers(makes my hair frizzy when i comb it and it doesn't last too long)....so what product should i use. I tried tress tranzitions but it only works when your hair is little bit curly. Well most people with relaxers after you wash it, it gets wavvy, but my hair is just straight!



I have relaxed hair, straight hair, and i want curly hair....?

this stuff callefd Curlz Rock



its either by Bedhead or Catwalk



I have relaxed hair, straight hair, and i want curly hair....?

I have curly hair... its really not that great. Of course you always want what you don't have. I suggest you try scrunching your hair. Some ppl can't though. My sis's hair is complete opposite, she has straight hair and it won't curl for anything!



I have relaxed hair, straight hair, and i want curly hair....?

Well, you could always go to meijer where they sell this product called frizz. it makes your hair curly and bouncy... not frizzy like it says on the bottle. it stays in for about 2 weeks. if u use it every 2 weeks u'll be on ur way to have permatnely curly hair. but the curls go away with a straightner.

Curly hair to straight hair...?

if you have really curly hair and you get it relaxed at a hair salon so it's straight is it permanent? if not, how long does it last? and when it wears off will your hair be just as curly, more curly, or not as curly???



Curly hair to straight hair...?

I'd just use a flat iron. I did that and not only d it fry my hair, but It just kind of lifelessly laid there. I couldnt curl it or anything!!! But if you do it, just make sure you want ONLY straight hair. Good luck!



Curly hair to straight hair...?

it could last up to a few months, it turns wavy after awhile and back to normal eventually but that's long long after you get it relaxed



Curly hair to straight hair...?

depends on how long they kept it on or how strong the perm is



my hair is exactly the same the 3 perms only lasted 2 days, each time, because it wasn't a hard perm and wasn't on for long



all the other perms I've gotten before, just took a bit of the frizz out, but my hair stayed VERY curly when wet/damp... i like that



Curly hair to straight hair...?

it lasts for a few months depending on the way you take care of your hair... i had my hair relaxed february of year 2006 before i graduated in college and still, my hair is straighter than ever with lots of conditioner and avoiding ponytails..



Curly hair to straight hair...?

one year ago i straighten my hair, my hair was brown, from there it went to really light brown, dry and frizzy, it really damage my hair, it was straight for one month then it went to wavy, and now after 12 month of treatments, day after day is wavy frizzy and almost blond, by using treatments is not as dry as it was before, if you think of straighting your hair, don't do it! but if you do, think twice and buy the best treatments.



Curly hair to straight hair...?

No it's not permanent it lasts about as long as a perm does (4-5 months) or maybe longer.

Afro wigs vs. Straight hair wig?

Why is that when someone that's non-black wear an afro wig is a joke or a gag, but when a black person wears a straight hair wig they're all "serious" and ****?



Afro wigs vs. Straight hair wig?

It's ridiculous, ain't it? It's cause for so many years, they have tried to have to have straight hair, and think a wig is the convincing answer. Maybe so many tight weaves and chemical relaxers have made their hair start falling out, who knows? Even so, they COULD use a more natural looking wig texture besides straight.

I have stick straight hair and i can't curl it w/o making it look like the victorian times!! he

scrunching my hair only makes it stringy and more straight!



I have stick straight hair and i can't curl it w/o making it look like the victorian times!! help!?

I recomend u use Sunsilk Anti-Flat!! my mom has this same problem!! she puts in on after taking a shower and then when it dries, she curls it and it makes perfect curls!! or u can just leave it and not curl it but it will still make it unflat!! won't make curls but won't make it really flat!!



I have stick straight hair and i can't curl it w/o making it look like the victorian times!! help!?

then use hair spray or put it up in a bun that with gel all over your hair then leave it over night and when you take it out it'll be pretty!



I have stick straight hair and i can't curl it w/o making it look like the victorian times!! help!?

I have stick straight hair and i can't curl it w/o making it look like the victorian times!! help!?

After you take a shower put your hair in a bun on top or your head, put some gel in it and sleep with it over night. In the morning use hair spray, blow dry, then spray again.



I have stick straight hair and i can't curl it w/o making it look like the victorian times!! help!?

i have the exact same kind of hair.. but this is what i do when i want my hair to be curly/wavy



wash your hair and then put in some kind of mousse or gel.



then blowdry/airdry until it is damp



then put it into braids... more or less depending on how wavy you want it



then blowdry your hair until it is COMPLETELY dry, i mean like bone dry.. and then spritz with some hairspray.



then take the braids out, shake out your hair a little bit, and spray with some more hairspray.



it won't be perfect, but that's all i can do with my hair.



I have stick straight hair and i can't curl it w/o making it look like the victorian times!! help!?

Get layers. That way when you try to curl it, it isn't all curling at one length; it will curl all over (for lack of a better way to put it). Good luck!



I have stick straight hair and i can't curl it w/o making it look like the victorian times!! help!?

what size is the curling iron ur using? i would suggest using a 1 1/2 inch barrel, and taking large sections of hair. this should give you a soft bouncy curl.........before you blowdry, use a spray in hair thickener, (kenra works best), blow dry your hair then use the iron.....it should work great....also kenra extra hold hair spray after ur done works wonders, holds without that helmet hair feeling.



I have stick straight hair and i can't curl it w/o making it look like the victorian times!! help!?

use rollers every night and put grease on it every other night cause my hair is not the curliest but it works for me!!!

I don't know anything about products, but I do know that there are straightening irons you can buy. I got one at Family Dollar for $10. Works okay, but not great. My hair stylist has one that works much better. I'm sure hers is way more expensive. I guess it's one of those things that you get what you pay for.

I knew a woman who grew up during the late 60s and early 70s, when straight hair was very popular. Her family didn't have a lot of money, so she ironed her hair with a clothes iron. No kidding!

Hi. I had enough with those products. Thus, now I finally discovered the Japanese Thermal Hair Straightening system and I have it on my layered hair and I look great. It is such a relief from the daily frizzball nightmare.



I want straight hair like all the girls i see, what are they using?

Depending on what type of hair you have there are several options. You really need a good conditioner and a good ceramic flat iron. There are a lot of products you can use to aid the straightening process. One real good one is Rusk Thermal STR8. You spray this on before you use the flat iron.



You can also try using this before you blow dry your hair using a huge round brush. It is pretty multifunctional.



Good luck, I know it is frustrating.



I want straight hair like all the girls i see, what are they using?

I have very natural curly hair for years and years tryed everything to straighten it my friend done it with straightening irons it lasted a night, now i don't fight it just work with the curls.



I want straight hair like all the girls i see, what are they using?

Please do not straighten your hair. Wavy/curly hair is cute. Just add a pea size amount of gloss to some strong hold gel and smooth through your hair. Let it air dry or use a diffuser. The more your straighten it, it will look like a haystack!



I want straight hair like all the girls i see, what are they using?

my neice has curly hair and irons her hair with the clothes iron,mad!



I want straight hair like all the girls i see, what are they using?

It depends on your shampoo as well, I use tresemme, then i put a frizz formula serum on my hair, while still wet, it's by Joshua Galvin and it's in a dark red pump bottle it lasts ages and costs about 鎷?/roughly $5 if u are in usa



I want straight hair like all the girls i see, what are they using?

make sure u wash your hair everyday, and then hotoil every week or every other week, u can just buy your own hot oil creme and apply yourself at home, then just use a hair permer or its sometimes called hair iron...



hair iron really works.... doesnt need ot be an expensive iron though......



I want straight hair like all the girls i see, what are they using?

I want straight hair like all the girls i see, what are they using?

GHD straighners, expensive but well worth it....you will need a protection oil spray to go with them.



I want straight hair like all the girls i see, what are they using?

They either have naturally straight hair or they do what I do...use one of those conair straightening irons. I have very wavy hair, and that thing really works. Just dampen your hair, then start up by ur scalp and move slowly down towards the bottom. That's all



I want straight hair like all the girls i see, what are they using?

try to get a hair relaxer that should help it helped me.



I want straight hair like all the girls i see, what are they using?

there is a straightner on the market called ionic straightner works like a dream can have it done at a salon is a bit costy but worth it



I want straight hair like all the girls i see, what are they using?

Oh, I know what you mean! I have naturally curly hair and I've always wanted it to be straight... Finally, after 17 years, I gave up ;) Way too much work! And every time I straighten it, it always curls back. However, my hair dresser successfully does it! She uses a Chi flat iron (these overly expensive irons cost about 200$ - but they're the key to a very straight look, I guess) she also uses Redken Smooth Down HEAT GLIDE and ends with Redken 09 WORKFORCE hairspray... Well, this works!



I want straight hair like all the girls i see, what are they using?

Go to a salon... Rebond or straight...



I want straight hair like all the girls i see, what are they using?

you need to get a good straighterner i have very thick hair and its curly underneath and wavyish on the top what you need to do is tie the top up while you do underneath then let it down and striaghten again it helps me...



I want straight hair like all the girls i see, what are they using?

GHD Hair straighteners are the essential. The best 鎷?00 you can spend.



Secondly, just use any good quality shampoo and conditioner for your hair type.



Thirdly, place your hair in sections before straightening. you need to work from the bottom of the hair, and take the straightener to the root. You will need to comb the area prior to straightening and sometimes repeat.



If your hair is dry, spray with a protective spray. GHD do a good one.



Then your hair will be perfectly straight. I used other straighteners before GHDs and they did not work!



I want straight hair like all the girls i see, what are they using?

I had the same problem with my hair, it was very much the same as the way u described yours, but there is one more solution i found a chinese hairdressers that can actually straighten hair properly the whole process takes about 5-6 hours, the cost is about 鎷?60, seems alot but it is well worth it, it also lasts for about 9-10 months and u dont need to use hot combs or any other stuff. so maybe find ur local chinese hair salon...



I want straight hair like all the girls i see, what are they using?

get your self pair of ghd's my hair is major thick and very curly and when using straighten my hair in small sections and it goes poker straight they are god send
