Straightening Hair

Hi there! I've been fighting with the same kind of hair for a long time. You can try Paul Mitchell's "THE HEAT". It works pretty good. Put it on your damp hair and blow dry straight. Other than that, I don't know of anything else to do unless you want to chemically straighten it, but I don't recommend that. Sara :)

I really like the look you're describing and would like to style my own hair that way once I grow it out a bit more. But my hair is more wavy than it is curly like yours. Somebody suggested that I could acheive corkscrew like curls with a spiral Perm. Anyone familar with the technique? Please describe the process to me. How long should my hair be to do this?____________________________________________________________> Hey Tai!
