hey, well my hair is basically the worst. its dark brown, in between being short and medium length, very wavy, poofy and ugly. because of all that i straighten my hair everyday. yes, very bad i know. well i take a shower every night and let it air dry. i use leave in conditioner and have discovered that my hair works better this way. i also use straightening balm and also have discovered that my hair works better this way. i have a pretty good and expensive straightener. it is fairly new, not evena year old. so thats not the problem. every morning i wake up and re-straighten it beecause i slept on my straightened hair all night. well it looks fine for about the first 1-2 hours of school. then it become greasy and looks bad(especially my side bangs). anyone have any ways to avoid this? cait♥

However, I'm finding the negatives of straightening my hair, not worth the pleasure of having straight hair.
Instead, I've found that by putting a small amount of mousse in my hair then scrunching (when wet) that wave becomes quite a nice curl. Usually I put some in a hairband from the sides to join on the top as they are less likely to frizz that way. Then leaving that in when I have my shower the next day - I just dampen it and it stays fine.
On top of that I've found by twisting my hair into a ponytail - then clipping it up, I don't have to anything bar my fringe.
This allows me to save straightening my hair for those special occasions - and saves my hair being wrecked.
