I've tried so many products and the only way I can get it straight is if I go to a Salon and they blow dry it straight. After it's towel dried they apply a product called Paul Brown Straightening Lotion. It's actually from Hawaii. It's great too, if you've washed your hair and want to give it a treatment. Just apply, brush through with a wide tooth come and blow dried in small sections. I get my hair chemically straightened every 8 months with the Paul Brown Solution at a Salon. It's the best one I've come across. Good Luck.

I have straightened my hair with the Paul Brown solution you mentioned. I have great results from it. My hair is shiny, soft, frizzless, and I take out about 70% of the curl. I like the results I get. I can either blow it straight in half the time it used to take. OR I can let it dry naturally for a very light wave effect. I do this in the summer so I can give my hair a break from blow drying.

There is a product by Redken called "Straight" and also a product called "biosilk" by Biolage. These products help straighten hair and make it silky. Apply one of these to your hair, then dry with a blow dryer using a big brush to straighten.

I have just made an appointment to have my hair chemically straightened with the Paul Brown solution, and I'm very nervous. I have curly hair, and I want it to soften the curls into looser waves. At all costs, I'd like to avoid damaging my hair... Has the Paul Brown method damaged yours at all? Thank you...

Hi. I've been straightening my hair for about two months now with straightening iron, but i've been reading things saying to straighten it with a blow dryer. Have I been doing something dreadful to my hair, and is blow drying the way to go? My friend (the hair know-it-all) tried to straighten it with a blow dryer, and it didn't exactly work. Oh, and does anyone know of any straightening balms that work? I've heard of fudge erekt, but don't know how that is. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks! =-)
