xomichelle891xo answered Sunday January 7 2007, 4:04 pm: Hey. Well, first of all are you using a good iron? Is it really old? If its a cheap iron and its over a year and a half old, thats probably the reason your hair isnt staying straight! I have a Chi. Its definitely one of the best, if not the best hair straightners. It might be expensive but it will WORK BETTER and last longer. ALSO, you need a finishing spray for after you straighten your hair. I use Kenra platinum hot spray protect and finish. Youre supposed to put some on before you straighten it because it locks it in AND protects your hair from the heat. Then, you spray it when youre all done to "finish" or hold it in like hairspray, except you can still move your hair and its not as sticky. I dont know where you can get it because my Mom gave it to me for Christmas from my hairdresser. But, Im sure you can look it up online. Another good spray is Bed Head "After Party". :] [ xomichelle891xo's advice column | Ask xomichelle891xo A Question ]
luvbug555 answered Sunday January 7 2007, 2:11 pm: how hot is the iron? if its not hot it wont last. and if its not a good one it probably wont last. getting a really good iron could be worth it. also, im guessing you do it on clean hair, but make sure its not WET hair because that could definately damage it and make it not last. heres a website that has really good irons [Link](Mouse over link to see full location). also, there are irons for wet hair that could save time [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) its really cheap only like $27 but it dosent work as good as a normal iron. it might last, but it could make your hair look like straw if you have dryed out hair. good luck!

queenhearts answered Sunday January 7 2007, 2:42 am: yeah, i heard ceramic straighteners work well. Hmm. 'Chi' seems popular. Look for a better straightener online and look at reviews. People usually post 'before/after' pictures and if they did that, you know their hair stayed that way all day..
cutie_pie answered Sunday January 7 2007, 1:20 am: ceramic straighteners work really well, if you aren't already using one. and there are hair products you can use along with a straightener to keep your hair straight. [ cutie_pie's advice column | Ask cutie_pie A Question ]
xxautophobiaxx answered Sunday January 7 2007, 12:54 am: What type of straightening iron do you own? If you don't already have one, maybe you should try getting a Chi. Thats what I use, and it works really well. You can probably get it from a local beauty salon for around 100 dollars.
But if that is what you use and its not working for you, maybe you should take into consideration getting your hair chemically straightened [My friend got hers done. Her hair was really curly and thick before, but afterwards it looked as if it was naturally straight]. Your hair might just naturally be too thick to straighten it with an iron. Hope I helped you out a bit<3 [ xxautophobiaxx's advice column | Ask xxautophobiaxx A Question ]
Teza answered Sunday January 7 2007, 12:50 am: One thing that can prevent that is if you stop playing with it. That way it gets wavier and. You can also use products. Tresemme and Garnier Frutis have straightening products. Just don't play with your hair as much. [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]
