Basically, I'm one of those people that rarely straighten their hair (only on special occasions) so I decided to come here for help.
Anyway, in 2 weeks I'm going to party. I was wondering should I straighten my hair on the day of the party, or do it the night before?
My hair is really annoying because it gets greasy real fast, obviously overnight isn't enough to make it completely greasy but sometimes it'll lose shine and volume.
Obviously I'm leaning towards to doing it on the day, but what do you think I should do?

If you have to wash it the same day you straighten it, skip the blowdryer and let your hair air dry. You hair can't take that much heat. Plus, what most people don't know, you have to take really good care of your hair when it's completely wet out of the shower, because that's when it's most vulnerable.
Anyways, if your hair is super super greasy, then wash it early in the day, let it air dry, then iron it. However, the best thing to do is straighten hair when it's a little greasy. The oils in your hair serve as a natural moisture sealant. I see a lot of girls walking around with dry, crusty straightened hair. You shouldn't wash your hair everyday anyways. That's not enough time for your scalp to get moisturized. Even if you have greasy hair, look into buying a different kind of shampoo.
What I would do if I were you is wash my hair the day before, then straighten it the day of the party. The oils in your hair also weigh your hair down a bit, which keeps it straight. [ ellegirl606's advice column | Ask ellegirl606 A Question ]

I have curly hair and sometimes I straighten it on the night, but wake up with wavy hair. [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
LiLMAMAx answered Tuesday September 2 2008, 12:52 pm: If you wash & dry your hair the night before then straighten it right after. While your asleep, it will probably get a little wavy, but it will be a lot easier to straighten the next day. Only do this if you don't plan on washing it again the day of the party.
If you plan on washing it the day of the party, give yourself a reasonable amount of time to blow-dry and straighten your hair. 3 - 3 1/2 hours is reasonable.
Also, if your hair gets greasy easily, I do reccommend washing it the day of the party. Scrub it really good with shampoo & conditioner to help avoid a lot of the greasy look. [ LiLMAMAx's advice column | Ask LiLMAMAx A Question ]
