What is the best hair straightening cream/balm?

I have extremely thick, wavy hair but also gets oily quickly so I need a cream/balm that wont add more oil or weigh my hair down. Also, I want it to be something that I put on my hair right when I get out of the shower. I have tried FrizzEase and found that it is too weighty...any other recommendations??



What is the best hair straightening cream/balm?

Sounds like my hair. I don't think any of them are very good but I sometimes use a L'oreal straightning cream, it's in a dark pink bottle with a pop up top and I buy it in Tescos. It is quite runny and it also takes out the knots out. When I use the straightners I spray each sections of hair with a little hair spray then when it's all done I spray hairspray on my fingers and run it through my hair like that rather than spraying it directly on hair and this calms it down also.

What is the best hair straightening cream/balm?

creams and balms arent very effective especially on thick hair, and it takes time because you need to keep your hair in place till it completely dries. (cnat put it behind ur ear- it will go wavy). Believe me I know from experience and my hair is thin! Its so much easier to uses straighteners! They are worth the mone- proffesional are best (you can change the temperature)

You can go to a hair salon and have a hair relaxing treatment.It last for a long time and your hair is gonna be straight and smooth,you don,t need to worry about every day.



What is the best hair straightening cream/balm?

Well I like to use professional products because they work the best I currently use: Matrix Sleek Look # 3 (styling cream) #4 (straight polish), or matrix's light wax, or Redken Smooth Down- protective smoother for unruly hair, with heat safe that tames even the most rebellious hairs! Good Luck and I hope you find a product that works for you!

Does the permanent hair straightening you get at a salon make it silky and managble like a hot iron?

My hair is real thick, curly and course so the flat iron makes it look like human hair. i just wanna know if the permanent chemical treatment works the same way

Does the permanent hair straightening you get at a salon make it silky and managble like a hot iron?

No it makes it VERY dry and sort of frizzy. get a straightening spray to use with the flat iron.



Does the permanent hair straightening you get at a salon make it silky and managble like a hot iron?

It is terrible for your hair and makes it SUPER frizzy! it lasts 6-9 months and at the end it looks terrible and wavy! during the whole time it looks frizzy and dry. if you have really curly hair try a light blowdry and some texturizing cream or just but jell in your hair. you colud also try curling it or a cute up do...like a bun %26amp; ribbon.

What percent of humidity is good for straightening hair?

I straighten my hair often but living in Texas it often becomes problematic! What percent of humidity should I look for in the forecast before deciding to straighten?



What percent of humidity is good for straightening hair?

I also live in Texas and have very thick curly hair. The humidity in Texas will never go down (unless you live in maybe the panhandle). Do you use anything when you straighten it? Assuming you split your hair into sections to straighten it in small amounts, try spraying hair spray in each little section right before you iron it. I find this helps seal it a little with the humidity, but it isn't all stiff because you are ironing it after using hairspray and brushing through it. I also spray a light flexible hairspray all over my hair after straightening to help hold the straightness. Hope this helps!



What percent of humidity is good for straightening hair?

as little as possisble

Is it safe to do hair straightening?

It is safe, but you should go to a professional hair stylist to do it. Also, don't wash your hair for a couple of days before you go in - otherwise, the chemicals will burn your scalp and make your hair fall out (I'm being serious).

it's safe, but if your hair is dry it will make it worse. try using moisturising products and oil before you straighten.

It's okay, but u gotta use hair serum (to prevent split ends) and use conditioner often.....remember you must go to a great salon otherwise you'll just waste alot of moolah!



Is it safe to do hair straightening?

Same here ... watch out.. I went to a salon to have it colored and straightened twice and it started to break off.. still is breaking off, for that matter. I'll never do it again. (The stylist did use all good products, so it wasn't her fault)... but the straightening procedure is very harsh. Don't make the same mistake I made.. besides, curly is back in style anyway.



Is it safe to do hair straightening?

its yes safe but no safe lol , it not reli safe because it damages ur hair , eg- getting split end if u do it 2 mcuh but if u get ur hair cut reguarly u will b fine.

Is it safe to do hair straightening?

You may want to consider to thinning the volume first. Hair spa may help improve the texture as well. I don't recommed going straight to any chemical treatment or mechanical lengthening if your hairs are not healthy enough.

A question about hair straightening?

I've heard a lot about the chemical hair straighteners, similar to a perm only not curled on rollers. Do these work well for naturally curly/wavy hair?



A question about hair straightening?

It's good to straighten but it will damage and make your hair dry. Of course straightening irons can do the same thing. I would discuss my options with a good hairstylest because if your hair is perfectly healthy it may be a good option, but if it's dry and frizzy you'd be much better off not doing it.



A question about hair straightening?

I would try using shampoo with panthenol (Pantene). That helps calm curly hair. And, I would invest in a ceramic iron that will straighten a crooked politician.



A question about hair straightening?

it works good for some ppl.it works for me and it doesnt work for one of my friend.



A question about hair straightening?

Yes they do, but dont do it. I have naturaly curly hair and so did a friend of mine. And ever since we were kids we've always wanted straight hair, so my friend decided to get it thinking it would look great. MAn was she wrong. Her hair got straigh but it was really frizzy and damaged and it never was the same again. It's not that curly anymore its more wavy now but very frizzy than usual. Her hairstylist says that she will have to use alot of moisturing products and not color or put any chemicals in her hair for a few years to get it back the way it was.



A question about hair straightening?

its probably da same but u would save more money if u buy a flat iron because when ur hair grows da roots r going 2 b curly n u would have 2 do da perm again...but if u have a flat iron u could just flat iron it n u would b wasting money

What are your thoughts on chemically/professionally straightening hair?

does it work well? also, how bad is it for our hair? can you just let it air dry and it wont be stick staight but it won't get all poofy and frizzy and everything? and is it still possible to scrunch your hair with gel so its curly while you have it straightened?



What are your thoughts on chemically/professionally straightening hair?

it works wonderful but it does damage you hair. had many pros and a few cons. no - you can not scrunch cause it will not be curly at all - however you CAN curl it with a curling iron and the curls will stay. i have found that i need to have this done like every 3 months because of re-growth. which means that my roots come in curly and frizzy which at the time makes me need to use my straightener which damages my hair more. but i cant afford to get it done every 3 months. i try to do 4 months.



What are your thoughts on chemically/professionally straightening hair?

my friend did it and her hair is fine. but u have 2 make shure that they get all of ur hair because i have another friend who had it done and their is a couple of pieces of her hair in the back and now she has to straighten it every day becuase they didnt do a couple of strands.

What products can i use after my hair straightening?

i had just got my hair rebonded, and cellophaned...



and i have read a lot of forums here that after a chemically treated hair, you need to use moisturizing hair products and stuffs that will protect your hair from the heat and stuffs that will make your hair shinier... and i live in the Philippines by the way.... thanks!



i need the products that will give my hair intense moisture, make my hair soft and make my hair shiny....



What products can i use after my hair straightening?

you know I always have my hair rebonded since 2nd year highschool. Im a college sophomore now and i really made it beutiful. dont be afraid to try something. Ive tried a lot of conditioners and shampoos. But right now i am using palmolive nd a rejoice conditioner. kung san lng mas sanay ang hair moh.. trial and error lng. and make sure to visit the salon atleast twice a month for a hot oil treatment.



TIP: Use shampoo every other day and not "everyday". Using shampoo everyday cam make your hair dry. But be sure to use conditioner everyday. Do not use a blower to dry your hair, use electricfan. Dry your hair everyday instead of just leaving it and letting it dry by itself.



Good luck!



What products can i use after my hair straightening?

There are so many products to use. I suggest bed head, its cheap, makes hair shiney and THE SHAMPOO ROCKS!



What products can i use after my hair straightening?

dun over: wash and blow dry your hair, try alternate days or once a day if you have to. always use conditioner and after that leave on moisturizer (those that don't need to be rinsed off), or serum that has UV protection of some sort. put on a cap/hat if you need to be in the sun for longer than 1 hour. reccomendations i personally used before: L'oreal hair serum, Bedhead leave on moisturizer (really nice smell), Pantene Conditioner, ellipse oil treatment.



worth a try: VO5 oil treatment
