hey. i have semi-curly hair, and it sux. can any1 help me? how do i starighten my hair? i have conair, shiny styles, but it doesn't work on my superly thick hair... any ideas?
get a ceramic straightener. From the sound of it, you have hair like mine. The Conair Straightener totally ruined my hair. So I wore it curly for a long time to re-introduce moisture and such, and then I bought a professional ceramic straightener. Best purchase ever.
No damage, just nice, smooth hair.
"And to make a long story short, I was wearing an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time..."
Stinka, I've been thinking about finally trying a ceramic plate iron. My hair is medium thick, naturally wavy and frizz-prone (not to mention DRY) and I wash/blow dry straight with styling products every four days. That gets it pretty darn straight but the ends still tend to curl in odd directions. Based on your experience, do you think the ceramic iron is causing noticable damage to your hair? I say noticable because ANY heat appliance will hurt hair but in varying degrees, so I'd like your opinion. Thanks!

I agree with Stinka, I purchased Jilbere de Paris Ceramic Tools Flat Iron from Sally's beauty salon and really liked it. I paid $42.00, but it was worth every penny! My mom loved it and bought one for herself also (I take mine with me when I go to my bf's house on weekends or whenever I take trips). My hair has natural waves to it... not really curly but it's really thick so I use this to tame.

No Hal, it unfortunately NOT that long anymore; however, I am working towards a similar length and should be there by Christmas (I will of course post my holiday celebration pictures this year!) My hair is definitely not curly--it's just wavy, medium-thick and very huge on humid days. I can beat it into stick-straight submission with a paddle brush and blow dryer.
And yes, post photos people~~a picture is worth a thousand words...or strands...something like that...

Hi ...I know a way you can straighten it but it doesnt last very long..you can just flat iron it..It wil lturn out straight but once you get it wet...its over. Im trying to find on the web a really good straightening solution..if I find one I will email you
I have very fine, straight hair. But here in TN humidity wrecks it...by the time I make the 20 min drive to work the face framing sections, from the ear down get touch of the frizzies. I've tried sooo many things. Yesterday I picked up something new...Kenra Straightening Serum..in a nifty looking metal/pump dispenser..which I must admit is what first caught my eye. It says for coarse, curly hair etc. what sold me was the 'humidty resist' part. It says apply generously to damp hair...my hair being fine I used way less to start..bout dime size and it was plenty..focused on about 4 inches from ends. It's a light, easy to spread product and the smell is delicious. Our humidity this morn is right around the 90% mark and my hair looks sleek and straight as can be....the test is after walking the hike thru our parking lot to my office....it looks so good!!
Thank you for the suggestion! I have a great gel I use (Tresemme Slick Melting gel) plus a silicone spray, and together with a dryer I can get it very straight (check out photo: http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-6/210233/long.jpg )
But in the stickiest weather I usually resign myself and pull my hair back into some elaborate updo. It just isn't worth fighting it in July! :-)
