I relly need help. My hair used to look straight when it was long (down by my hips). I mean it was always wavy and the ends curled....but now people really notice it and I rather straight hair.
I straighten my hair at least once a week or once in 2 weeks and the other fews day it's wavy..i don't mind but when I straighten it...the straightening balm makes my hair luk oily. I was wondering if there's some product that doesn't make it luk oily but helps protect against heat damage?

It feels like water in your hands and you would never be able to tell that there is any product in your hair whatsoever, but it's the best and most effective I've ever used.

i use about a dime-sized amount for my hair, which is only shoulder length. the product i use is called Alterna Hemp Straightening Balm. it protects against heat damage and makes hair so soft... it's great. only about 12 bucks a tube at Regis Salons (US).
clearlypink428 answered Thursday June 1 2006, 10:49 pm: well, if youre not caring about the cost, i would go to a fantastic sams and ask them to suggest one of their products. they run a little pricey- but nothing too outrageous. and remember- less really is more. you can always add more product- but when youre pressed for time- its a whole lot harder to take away product. but if you do in fact continue to use more- try applying just a little bit of baby powder to your scalp. not too much, though- otherwise your hair will start to look grey. hope i helped .good luck.
