Ok, so I have an AMAZING straightener that works great...as long as I stay inside my house! I'll get my hair perfect and then right when I walk outside it goes curly! It's so frusterating because I've even tried hairspray, which I hate to use, and it still curls! I don't usually use any products other than just shampoo and conditioner. Please help! I want something that will make my hair straight throughout the day but won't make it stiff! THANK YOU!!!!

Straightening shampoos make more of a difference for curly, un-managable hair because unlike a straightening iron, they get into the hair follicle. This deactivates the un-wanted curls by flattening them the best they can.
I'm sure that Back to Basics also has leave in products to be used after shampooing, but before and after straightening.
Like any hair product, expect that sometimes these products will need time to work. Depending on your hair, and how bad the curls are-- it could take a few uses of the shampoo/conditioner to do it's best work.
If the curls really do become a struggle-- and you can't deal anymore, I have one more option. As a hairdresser, I know that hair relaxers can be very damaging to your hair. And, I won't sugarcoat the fact that once you use them, your hair will probably never go back to the curly hair that you have now. Try purchasing a thio relaxer. They are still, but less damagint then sodium hydroxide relaxers.
This website can defitenately guide you, if in fact you decide to use a hair relaxing product..
es answered Tuesday July 29 2008, 2:15 pm: well there are some different products you can use that wont stiffen your hair.
1. KMS CALIFORNIA - its pretty good and it's meant for keeping your hair straight... it is a spray but it still works
2. Pantene Styling Milk - it's a cream and it never hardens hair and it keeps it the way you style it.
don't use gel or any products with lots of alcohol because alcohol tends to make your hairy frizzy and it curls.
i suggest most pantene products, they should do the trick.
hope it works =]]
