How do I go about getting my hair straightened?

Ok so I have always had thick curly frizzy hair and I had been getting it buzzed short cuz I hated how it looked but I would really love to have long straight hair. I've been growing it out for several months now and its pretty much like a big fluffy frizzball. It's not really kinky curly its more of a messy curly and if u wash it and comb it and put gel or whatever it usually stays down for a while but it looks stupid and has places that start sticking up and curling when it dries. I'm really sick of it lol. What do I have to do to have fairly long straight hair? Heres kinda how I want my hair



http://www.spin.com/features/magazine/im... What can I put in it (shampoo, straighteners etc) and how should I comb it and do I need to get it trimmed or anything to even it as it grows? I cant afford any expensive treatments though so keep it cheap on the suggestions. Oh yeah and since hair texture varies with people if it helps I'm a 17 year old white dude yup!

that pic is fekin freaky man



How do I go about getting my hair straightened?

you will need to get a flat iron to straighten your hair, and you will have to do it everytime you wash it...just a hint...get a really good one...it will cost you a lot of money, but with your hair, you will need one that has a temperature setting on it....the one i purchased for my daughter who has hair similar to yours cost $120.00, but was worth it...i have purchased one cheaper one, but it did not work with her hair.



How do I go about getting my hair straightened?

I use a straightener for mine, and sometimes add Dep Straight Cream Gel to the ends, which helps to keep frizz down.



After washing my hair, I never let it air dry-unless I'll be straightening it before going in public. I usually braid it, and take them out in the morning so I just have waves. My hair is really long and naturally frizzy-wavy. Pretty much crap. D=



Just put some of that Dep stuff on the ends of your hair [it says when it's damp, but then you'd have to blow dry it; just do it when it's dry], and then use a straightener.



How do I go about getting my hair straightened?

try blow drying it with a roll brush going through your hair at the same time in small sections of hair, and then flat iron it.



How do I go about getting my hair straightened?

you could get it relaxed and straighten it a bit which is usually about $75 depending on your hair length.



I would suggest getting it thinned and flat ironing it

ok 17 year old white dude........here's my thought. I'm trying to get a picture of what your hair looks like. I saw the picture of Mason and see what your trying to go for.



Now you might get some that say your going to have to break the bank for one of these things..........but you don't. What am I talking about. A flat iron.........a inexpensive one too. Some of these things you can spend way tooo much money for and they all eventually will dry your hair....for God's sake your putting all this heat on it how ever often, like your not ever going to see or have damage. Ya, right.



Anyway go to Walmart buy a ConAir 1 inch ceramic flat iron, Revlon sells them too. But I've had this cheapy ConAir slim flat iron for over a year and it cost less than $20.00. It still works fine.



Anyway they say you should you use product in your hair just for flat ironing in order not to dry your hair out. Well some people do some people don't. You don't want to "fry" your hair so if your going to do this read all the directions and don't start out at the highest temperture, start at the middle or a little past the middle point on the temperture control. Now take about a couple of inches of hair in your one hand and run the flat iron down that section once, see how that looks, you might have to do it again. See how long that takes to make it look straight. You might just do your whole head then go back and do it again. If it's not straightening very well then you might have to turn the temperature up some. You kinda just have to play around and see how it goes.



Also having naturally curly hair myself I've noticed something about flat ironing and "the weather". In the summer when its humid within an hour or so after flat ironing my hair and going outside....my hair will start to grow and get frizzy. And it doesn't matter if I have product in my hair to help this or not, I get the same results everytime. If it's hot out and you sweat or if you get caught in the rain.......forget it.....you'll start to frizz.



The one and only months that are good for those who have frizzy or natural curly hair is when it gets cooler out yup, the winter. I can flat iron my hair once and it will stay straight for 3 or 4 days in cooler weather.



Anyway..........good luck.
