I need serious help with my naturally curly hair.?

Question

I really am at the end of my rope here in regards to my hair. Here's the problem:

I have naturally very curly hair, not long loose pretty ringlets, but tight ugly hair. Also, my hair is not course or thick, the pieces of hair themselves are actually very fine, and being so, super-susceptible to damage.

I have worn my hair curly in the past in ways that it is not frizzy, but I still can't get over the fact I hate the way it looks.

All I want is straight, long hair. However, I always end up having to cut inches off once it gets passed my shoulders as it becomes too damaged. I use a solia hair iron, chi heat protector, and biosilk, along with dove damage control, and it is still fried.

Can somebody please tell me what I can do to have long straight hair and prevent the damage, but not have to wear it curly. I hate how the pretty hair everyone else seems to have so easily seems almost unattainable for me. Somebody help!

Answer 1

1. Use a shampoo/ conditioner that is formulated for curly, coarse or damaged hair. While your hair is not coarse, shampoos formulated for coarse hair will help soften it and make the straightening process easier.



2. Comb your hair straight with a wide tooth comb while it's still wet.



3. After you get of the shower, apply a blowdrying/straightening cream. I'm partial to John Frieda's FrizzEase Relax Wind Down

4. Blowdry your hair with a comb attachment in sections. I use a blowdryer with a rounded rectangular nozzle as opposed to the round circular nozzle because it covers more area.

5. After blowdrying straight (should take no more than 30 minutes), flat iron in small sections.



** Note: If you flat iron curly hair every day, it will be damaged no matter what. Work on prolonging your blowout by not washing your hair every single day. It's fairly common and won't result in some crazy greasy mess. Dry shampoo helps too.

Use a lot of conditioner and moisturizer on your hair if you want to continue straightening your hair all the time. It's really hard to avoid damage when you're using so much heat on it.

The easiest way would be to get it chemically straightened, then you wouldn't have to spend so much time on it. There are lots of great salons that do it and your hair is not frizzy or dry.
