Hair Straightening help?????????

my hair is wavy when its wet, but once it dries it gets really poofy so i have to straighten it. right now i have a CVS 2 inch ceramic straightener, but i dont think it is very good (it was only 20 dollars). when i straighten my hair, it still gets kind of puffy, and i cant get the ends of my hair to be perfectly straight. what i usually do is when my hair is still wet, after a shower, i put Got 2 B straight product in my hair, then i blow dry it, then i straighten it. Are the hair straightener and the spray in stuff i use good enough? What kinds do you use? And do you have any tips on making it straight at the ends?

i have the same straightener! i have the same problem too! my advice is that its not a really good straightener, im saving up for the chi. The best way to get it straight would be to straighten very slowly (like 2-3) minutes each time you put the straightener in your hair. Oh, and to get the ends straight use styling cream (i use fantastics sams)

You get what you pay for, if you want straight hair then buy the Chi. It is pricy but it works. Also use biosilk. It is great. I put it on before I blow dry and then also when I start to straighten my hair.

CHI flat iron is the one i hear absolutely no complaints about!! Its a lot more expensive - but you get what you pay for!

or just google it or do an internet search. You cannot buy this in common stores (like cvs- walmart- sally's etc.) I know A LOT of people that have it and love it! As a matter of fact.... Im gonna buy one right now-lol

I have very naturally curly hair. I just purchased a T3 Tournmaline Wet or Dry straightener and LOVE it. I received a really good deal on it on Ebay, because there is no way I would spend $200 on it! I don't think you have to go that expensive though, if you just get one with good ceramic plates and adjustable heat. For curly hair you have to have higher heat. I also really like using Redken Outshine 01 before I straighten, but I have also had really good luck with the Fructis products. I love their sleek %26amp; shine conditioner, especially when I wear my hair curly. Their spray gel for curls is the bomb, I would have frizzy poofball hair without it!

Don't forget the shampoo and conditioner! Your hair sounds just like mine. I've found that using a shampoo for dry/damaged hair helps a lot! It seems to weigh your hair down a bit.

I also use a giant round brush when drying. Grab a section of hair, pull it straight with the brush, roll up a bit and pull hard as you blow dry. Then i just have to run the iron over the top layer of my hair to smooth out the frizzies.

yes there are much better straighteners but they are pricy it all depends on how much you want to spend you are way better off on asking a hair dresser though.
