Hey everyone. I'm here to get help on my straightening/styling
techniques, I believe they are a bit shotty for sure. My hair if I tug
it as straight as it can go it goes jsut past both eyelids of my eye. A
picture of my hair here:  That one isn't a very good picture of hat my hair normally looks like but anyways you can see that when I go to straighten it, most of my hair on my bangs lifts up off of my forehead/eyes when I went it on my forehead and directly over my eyes to look something like this: 
What I usually do for my hair is this: I take a shower and use Redken
Volumizing shampoo, then I use a Triple Moisturizing conditioner by
Neutregena. THen I towel dry my hair a little, and then blow dry it
completely dry while combing it with a comb/brush. I then proceed to
take Sebastian Xtah Crude Clay pomadeish stuff into my hair to try and
style it in the way I want it to be when I flat iron it. This is all
while loading my flat iron up, my flat iron is a Chi 1". Afterwards it
depends on how it looks i may use hairspray or I may not. Hairspray I
find for more times when I put my hair up in some sections to make it
go down and give it a raw feel with my hands. I don't know what I'm
particularly doing wrong other than not really having the same length
of hair yet. But if you look at this picture here, I believe it is
pretty much the same length I could get it if I knew how to properly
straigthen my hair: Does anyone have any reccomendations on products or techniques that I could use or am not using to get this kind of hair? My friend reccomended Bead Head Manipulator or a Bed Head wax stick. SOrry for the long post/big pictures. I hope you all have a good day and don't mind it. |

nice hair man.. i have lost some of my hair knowledge, but if i am not mistaken, this is a Emo style right?? well you are right about needing more length to achieved the style you want. i am not sure about using pomade as a straighning product. sure its great stuff to spikes and reshaped hair or to add texture. why don't you try switching to straightning lotion or mousse. i mean these products are made to straigten hair while protecting it. you can use your pomade on the tips of your straigten hair, so that you can achived those pointy ends. which kind of straighten lotion.. it depends on your budget, but judging on products that you use, your budget it much bigger than mine i think both Redken and Sabastian have these straighning lotion or mousse
p.s you may want to change shampoo coz you are using volumizing shampoo. try those shampoo made for straight, smooth, iron hair. i think you will achieved better result with it. ------------- ARGHH |
