Which method has been kindest to you?

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 01-09-2004, 08:06 PM

Well...if I just blowdry it, it gets straight but it's REALLY puffy. I've used a relaxer before and that worked pretty good. Straighteners do, too, except for the fact that they damage your hair...

Yeah, that one works, too

Please people let me know what the best method is. I have naturally curly hair and have tried everything on that list and nothing works for me. My hair always ends up all dried out and frizzy whenever I try to straighten it and as soon as I put any kind of hair product on it it just curls right back up again, especially in humid weather.

I use a straightening iron but I'm not one to spend hours doing my hair.. I just want my waves gone, I don't need super straightness.

What I wouldn't give to have been born with straight hair. I get so sick and tired of people always telling me how lucky I am to have curly hair.

I've always just used the blowdryer but only once in a while. Relaxer chemicals are harsh and I'm too scared of burning my hair to a dry brittle crisp. As much as I love and prefer straight hair, I've come to accept my hair's just not that way and stick to straightening only for special ocassions. Curly but healthy is definitely better than curly and damaged.

same here.

*MIBabe03* · 01-09-2004, 08:34 PM

I don't have to use any of those things, because my hair always stays straight.

I use a flat iron, everyday. I have naturally ugly hair, people have complimented my hair before... I owe my thanks to the flat iron. I have ugly, wavy, thick hair. It's gross. I use Citre Shine serum when I'm done straightening my hair, it's supposed to protect it from heat damage, tame frizzies, and make my hair shiny. I like it. I wouldn't suggest just using a flat iron and not using some kind of product to protect your hair like a serum or deep conditioner. My hair is damaged but it's worth it. A trim every now and then will take care of that.

Yep. I use a deep conditioning treatment every 4-5 days, and my hair is extremely healthy.

I flat iron everyday with my Conair Ceremic straighting iron. It doesn't make it frizzy and it makes my hair poker straight.

I use a professional flat iron that I got when I went to get my hair trimmed a couple of months ago, and it REALLY works. I've never had a problem with it- great stuff

Everything else made my hair frizz.

This is the flat iron I use...

I agree there lol I have naturally straight hair. I never straighten mine anymore because now it's naturally straight. But when I was younger..maybe in 6th or 7th grade my hair was up to my shoulders and it was really thick..I hated it. So at that time I used to use a straightener almost every morning. My hair didn't get too damaged though. I never use a straightener anymore though.

I have tried getting my hair relaxed though. That actually worked pretty well. I tried it because in 7th grade I used to want my hair poker straight, but now I don't really care if my hair isn't perfectly straight. It's straight enough for me.

But yeah, I voted for straightening iron.
