Should I straighten my hair?

I have VERY curly hair. It is also very dry and frizzy. People have told me to condition. I condition it more than anyone else conditions their hair. I use a regular conditioner, then use a "super" conditioner which I leave on for at least 3 minutes. Then I put in a spray leave in conditioner. It is still the same. I have always had long hair because the weight of it (it is also very thick) helps with the curls somewhat. I have thought of having my hair cut short and straightened. Should I do this? Or will I end up with straight frizzy hair? My stylist can straighten it with a flat iron but I'm not able to do that at home because of the length. Should I straighten it or just leave it curly and get it cut short anyway. I am getting older now (almost 36) and I'm tired of long hair. Please help.

Well because you said you were tired of long hair I would cut some of it. But judging by what you said about putting all the conditioner in it that can be drying to your hair to.



Try not washing it everyday unless you get too dirty as this can clog pores. Wash every other day, using a moisturizing shampoo...like sleek by matrix or logics conditioning shampoo. Only use deep conditioners no more than once a week followed by a clarifying shampoo. On the days you must get your hair wet for shower purposes,,,,do not wash it use conditioner only in it. So you can style it with out the dread lock look...lol....Watch your styling products with alcohol they can be very drying. Use the leave it only to remove tangles and in severe weather hot or cold for protection...Good Luck!



I have been doing hair for 14 years, not to mention my hair is long and curly.



Some straighteners can do more harm than good....botanical one's do not do much damage but they can cost 500.00 and up!

Maybe you should think about a relaxer. This chemical would permanently straighten your hair and you would be able to get it cut shorter. If you have lightened your hair more than 4 shades or received a perm you should not try this. Look for a good stylist in your area, the relaxer alone shouldn't cost more than 100 dollars.

A CHANGE CANT HURT ANTHING, GO FOR IT



Should I straighten my hair?

I just had my hair straightened. My hair is really wavy, and coarse. But after my second go at the chemical straightening, it is in pretty good shape. I still have to use the flat iron, but the results are worth it. The first time I had it straightened (2 weeks ago) with the Paul Mitchell treatment it didn't take. But then I went back and tried another treatment. One used for previously treated hair ( hair color, perm, etc...) and that one worked. You might want to look into having it done, but be sure you have a good hair dresser who has experience with doing this treatment.

I think you need soulder length choppy layered hair, and an at home staightener. The layers will make hair thinner and easyier to straighten. It probably won't long frizzy, if it does then get some frizz ease for straight hair and smoth in on before staightening. I would recomend a permanent straightening job,if you cannot afford it, get an at home straightening iron from walmart. It will be like $20.oo but make sure it is white and a revlon brand. That kind works best for me. A con air is expensive and did not give my good results and i just have loose wavy hair so get revlon

You should probably go ahead and cut some of your hair. Long hair tends to make you look older. If you have curly frizzy hair your stylist should be able to recommend something. If that person can't then, you need a new stylist. If your hair was a little shorter you probably could straighten it yourself. Put the conditioner in and sit under the hair dryer for about ten minutes. Then, rinse with cold water. You shouldn't apply heat to your hair everyday, that could be causing the frizzy's. Also, make sure you use some kind of moisturizer in between washes. Your stylist should really be able to explain all of this to you. Again, if that person is not taking care of your hair and letting you walk around feeling the way you are feeling right now YOU NEED TO GET A NEW STYLIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think cutting it shorter and using a flat iron to straighten it would be an excellent option for you. I think your hair is dry because its so long and its very old hair that you've had for a long time. A fresh short cut may just be what you need. I had longer hair for a while then cut it short and my hair was the healthiest its ever been, then i just went and got a perm last week and have totally ruined my hair again.



Should I straighten my hair?

i would say no to cutting it short and straightening it.....ask you stylist to remove some of the bulk in your hait by either personilizing your hair cut or going threw to find the bulky area's and removing some of that weight for you....that will help on the weight and density of you hair and make it slightly easier to manage.....there are some really good straightners out there.....i would just be afraid for you that you would chemically alter your hair and then regret it in the long run and then you still have up keep when you get the regrowth.....i hope some of this can help you
