Or you could use anti- frizz serum because that will take out the frizz but maybe for a few hours if you have super curly hair. [ tamster's advice column | Ask tamster A Question ]
jenymca answered Thursday September 29 2005, 8:23 pm: Yeah. The way I do my hair is put gel in it, brush it through (when its wet) blowdry, straigthen, then brush it again when I get to school. Of course if you have thicker hair that may not work bc I have really thin hair so...thats my advice! [ jenymca's advice column | Ask jenymca A Question ]
LiLReBeL6907 answered Wednesday September 28 2005, 2:45 pm: Do not use moouse! Moouse is used to volumize hair, and since your hair is really thick, I doubt very highly that that is what you want. My sister has to straighten her hair because she has very thick, naturally curly hair, and it poofs real easily. She went to a salon and bought one of their straightening irons. They are expensive though, so for a less expensive option you can go to any local store and purchase a straightening iron. The straightening iron MUST have:
1. Gold plates (silver doesn't warm up as fast as gold, so gold will straighten ALOT faster and better)
2. High heat settings (read the back of the box and it will mention about heat settings up to 20 or 30. This helps maximize the amount of heat your are putting on your hair. For you it will need the maximum amount of heat)
Before straightening: shampoo and condition your hair as usual, or with some kind of relaxing formula that deep conditions. Then apply a straightening cream or serum. Blow dry your hair as usual and then straighten. After that style the way you want. *NOTE: After straightening your hair will get VERY dry and it will need to be deep conditioned once or twice a week to keep its natural shine, silkiness, and to prevent split ends. This will prevent frizz, broken ends, and dull, dry hair. I hope my advice helps. If you need any advice about anything else note my inbox back and I will be very happy to help you. ~Sherah [ LiLReBeL6907's advice column | Ask LiLReBeL6907 A Question ]

OnlyTheRightAnswers answered Tuesday September 27 2005, 8:12 pm: Do you put anything in your hair before you straighten it? Try putting an anti-frizz serum in your hair before blowdrying, then lbowdry straight, then go over it with a good straightening iron...afterwards I usually spray a little spray gel on my brush and comb through to make it look straight and stay straight without feeling hard or being immovable. Hope that helps! [ OnlyTheRightAnswers's advice column | Ask OnlyTheRightAnswers A Question ]
