oily but straight


Question Posted Thursday June 1 2006, 7:34 pm

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?

maybe try something other than a balm that comes out in squirts and wash your hair with straighting shampoo like sleek matrix they used to only sell it at salons but i saw some at albertsons or if you already got your stuff wash you hair that then leave the conditioner in for like and extra minuet or two wash it out itll also make your hair heathy and soft but yeah so try the redkin smooth down it protects against frizz AND heat damage

Jonathen straightening serum. 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'm thinking that maybe you are using too much straightening balm. you could try using about a quarter-sized amount of it (or just a little more if you think you need to), rub it together with your palms and fingers, then losely run your hands through your hair. don't heavily coat each strand. also, stay away from the roots because it's guaranteed to look oily, like most styling products do.

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).

hmm, that's all i can think of. hope i helped, and good luck!

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.
