Well my friends are always telling me how messed up my hair is. Its half wavy and frizzy and parted on the left side. Its just below shoulder length and dirty blonde. I tried a super expensive straightening bit but it was supper expensive and it didn't last as long as i had hoped. I use Aussie smooth Conditioner and Shampoo and blow dry it every morning but i live in Miami so its incredibly humid. I tried straightening it every morning but it just burned my hair. Any advice?

It is the best shampoo to use for your kind of hair. Maybe even consider dying it too, that will help lossen some of the curls. When you wash your hair blow dry it but divide your hair when blow drying. If you just blow dry it the way that it is parted it wil dry that way to. Continiously brush you hair at the same too that way it will dry straighter. The way you divide it have it in a half pony tail then slowly take hair down when you finished drying the section. There is a straightner that is really flat that you can find in dollar general and it is absolutely wonderful. It will be black and have gold on it too. Let the straightner heat for 15 minutes that way it is relly hot when you start. Don't use ay cremes, lotions, hairspray because those things make hair worse. Divide you hair like you did when you were blow drying that way you are straightening all of the sections making it as straight and flat as you possible can. A smooth dying color would be black and absolutely beautiful. [ Advicelady6798's advice column | Ask Advicelady6798 A Question ]

Obviously it hasn't worked for you to try to wear your hair straight, so why not work with your natural waves? Try using an anti-frizz serum (I recommend Bed Head Control Freak in the green squirt bottle) after you get out of the shower. Then, scrunch your hair using gel or mousse or both. Another thing that might have to do with how your hair behaves is your haircut. If you have dead ends and like no layers, this might not work for you so go get your hair trimmed. Also, your hair might be dried out and burned from all the heat styling, so start using a leave-in conditioner like Infusium 23 after you get out of the shower. Heat styling is not great for your hair, and it's obviously not working for you, so try scrunching your hair every now and then. It may not be super curly but you can at least get some "beachy waves" in there somewhere (and gel minimizes frizz). [ uisforukelele's advice column | Ask uisforukelele A Question ]
