Question Posted Thursday September 14 2006, 10:10 pm
if i put my straightner on a higher temperature, will my hair stay straighter for longer? because it straightens fast so im not sure if itll make it straighter longer
If you want it to stay straight for a longer period of time, the best thing you can do is try a serum (preferabley a heat activated straightening one, such as Sunsilk Straight (it's a bluish purple coloured tube) or a mousse with firm or extra firm hold. Most products of this type also help to protect the hair against damage as well, which is an added bonus.
If you don't want to use a serum or mousse, the only other option I can recommend is a firm hold hairspray. You don't have to use a lot or make it sticky. Spray some onto the comb (use a comb, not a hairbrush as a hairbrush could give your hair a static effect) and then lightly comb it through your hair. Do it a couple of times and it should help to hold your hair straight for longer. [ Vikki27's advice column | Ask Vikki27 A Question ]

from my experience it won't stay straighter longer it'll just get way too hot and give you split ends.
