Question about hair straightening and straighteners/flat irons?

I have really long hair, about medium thickness. It's naturally very wavy and very frizzy. A few years ago I started ironing my hair with an actual clothes iron (no, my hair isn't falling out). Sometimes I use a straightener, but my hair is so thick that it takes forever and doesn't come out that great. I also blow dry my hair as straight as I can get it before straightening.

I take good care of my hair, get regular trims, use salon products. It's actually pretty healthy looking depsite all of the abuse from styling it. Anyway, I live in Florida, i'm kinda used to the humidity, but I may be moving to Miami next year, which is a lot more humid than where I live. I'm not going to have anyone to iron my hair for me, so I'm going to have to get a straightener.

I'm not sure which one I should get. I've used to Chi before and wasn't really impressed. I've looked into the Sedu, but that might make my hair a little too flat (I still want it to have some fullness to it).

Question about hair straightening and straighteners/flat irons?

I use a flat iron everyday and live in Ontario - Humid in summer, damp in winter - Hair Nightmare! Make sure the flat iron you use has adjustable temperatures and ceramic surfaces. Use a frizz serum with it - not only will it help your frizzes it protects against the heat of the iron.

A bit more work, but I would use the flat iron on the top layers and use hot rollers on the underlayers for volume.

Va-Va-Voom!

Question about hair straightening and straighteners/flat irons?

My sister has the exact same kind of problem. She uses the Remington wet2straight iron with Thermasilk straightening cream and it works very well for her.

Her biggest advice for straightening is to divide your hair into four quarters and clip them to the top of your head. Drop one quarter, apply the cream, and flatten it in sections. Work from the bottom to the top.

To add fullness, after straightening, blow dry upside down.

Hope this helps.

My best friend has super thick, wavy hair and she uses the white Revlon straightener also. After blow-drying, clip the top part up while you straighten the bottom layer. Let a little down at a time until it's all straightened. Personally, I like to use John Freida's Dream Creme after straightening... but a little bit goes a long way!

Whether you choose a straightener/iron/dryer from Chi, Conair, Revlon, or any of the other brands--the level of straight that you want your hair to be not only depends on the product but how you use it.
