CHI! (the original)

Wut are one of the best hair straighteners?

Chi hands down.I have it and its brilliant.

Wut are one of the best hair straighteners?

Any ceramic straighteners from salons are great. They take seconds to heat up, have a reasonable price, and last long!... I've compared muliple store bought straighteners to salon bought straighteners and have come to conclusion that I perfer salon bought ones better. :)

Wut are one of the best hair straighteners?

I heard chi's are good, but I use something called an Ion. And it works great. Basically anything that heats up to like 400 F, and is ceramic.

People that have a REVLON hair straightener: Is it really good?

i heard it's the second best brand to CHI... do you have one? is it really good, does it work, did it ever break? any troubles? how much was it? is it worth the cost?

People that have a REVLON hair straightener: Is it really good?

I have a Revlon now. It is okay. I used to have a hot tools so I got spoiled. The good thing about the Revlon straightener is that it is inexpensive less than $30. If I turn mine up on the highest heat it will straighten ok. It is very durable. I have dropped mine several times. If you get a chance try Hot Tools Ceramic it is hard to find but worth it.

People that have a REVLON hair straightener: Is it really good?

I have a Revlon straightener though I'm not sure what model it is.

I have blonde fair short razor cut hair and it seems to work alright, though it doesn't get all the kinks out of it. My hair has curl in it so I do have to blow dry it straight prior to using the iron.

If I had a choice of buying this or the professional iron they use at my salon, I'd buy the professional one for sure.

People that have a REVLON hair straightener: Is it really good?

I had one and i hated it, it totally fried my hair made it feel all dry, nasty, and it broke after about 2 months.

People that have a REVLON hair straightener: Is it really good?

I swear by my chi. All the other brands that I have ever purchased...Revlon, Conair, remington,....don't come close in comparison..AT ALL. If you're really unsure, ask your hairdresser. They will be able to suggest a good product that doesn't come near the price.

People that have a REVLON hair straightener: Is it really good?

I have tried Revlon's flat ironers and it is ok. The heat doesnt go really high and the revlon flat ironer had broke because one of the buttons were too hard to turn. So I'd say no, Revlon is not second best compared to the chi.

but now i have switched to wigo jade flat ironers and it is inexpensive but the best i have used. I had it for about 5 months now. The heat is good, the buttons work, and it really straightens my hair

Hair Straightener????

My recent straghtener broke and im going out to buy a new one this weekend...ive heard of the straightener called CHI....its suppose to be good for your hair and wont dry it out ot damage your hair like the rest of them.....Ive been looking into them and they have a whole bunch of different kinds...i seen a pink one, turbo, and original and i dont remeber the rest...which one is the best one????....

Hair Straightener????

the original one hands down it is well worth your money!!

Hair Straightener????

buy a ceramic one! They don't damage your hair as much.

Hair Straightener????

or maxi glide.

Hair Straightener????

I love mine. I got it from sally for $40. It's called the Porcelain Serries. It's black and gold, bout 1 and 1/2 inch wide. : )

Hair Straightener????

ceramic one that won't damagae your hair as much and also get a spray for anti breakage

Hair Straightener????

Ceramic is always going to be your best bet. But all flat irons will damage your hair, especially if you have colored hair. Always make sure that you use a serum of some kind before you straighten, other wise, before you know it, your hair will look dry and damaged.

Im getting a new blowdryer.. should I get t3 or the chi?

i hear they are both amazing.. this is what im looking for:

one that is VERY fast.. i have super thick hair.. so which ever one is faster.

One that will make my hair shiney and smooth.

And quiet.

PLEASE HELP

thank you all

Im getting a new blowdryer.. should I get t3 or the chi?

T3 is amazing. i absolutely love mine.

it will make your hair shiny and soft.

also has a 4 yr warranty.

the tourmaline jewels in the T3 will emit the most ions to dry your hair in half the time. if drying time is a problem definetely consider the T3!

Im getting a new blowdryer.. should I get t3 or the chi?

ive heard nothing but good reviews about T3...i would go with that!

Im getting a new blowdryer.. should I get t3 or the chi?

i have the T3 and i love it!! also consider the weight of the dryer...

Sedu or chi?

which one is better and that can control curly, frizzy hair?

Sedu or chi?

sedu works GREAT.

but i never tried chi

Sedu or chi?

I love Chi though I have never used Sedu..Though after using CHi I probably wouldnt try anything else, because I really like it..

Chi. I love Chi.

How do you scrunch your hair?

How do you scrunch your hair? I have natuarlly whacky curly/frizzy out of control hair so I straighten it everyday for 2 hours (I have a Chi). I was wondering if I scrunched my hair if it would look good on me. I haven't left my hair curly in 7 years. Any advice on how to scrunch hair and what products to use?

How do you scrunch your hair?

I actually love the Redken stuff..(some of it) I have wavy hair but when I really want some curl in it..after I towel dry my hair I do not brush I put some of curl force 17 texturizing spray-gel and scrunch it...I simply grab my hair and tighten it...with the hair between my fingers (do it as if you were playing with a squishy ball)...that is for a good hold for an everyday thing I use the ringlet 07 curl perfector I do the same thing (but sometimes I do brush it) but this one leaves a nice loose curl and ur hair is super soft! here is the website check it out..YES they are expensive products but sooooo worth it..u might want to try the travel size first (they are around $4) on both to see how ur hair likes it....=)

http://www.redken.com/products/displayPr...

FYI

u might want to try this one too..crystal curls 06 defining shine gel - but for me it weights my hair down wayyyy too much

How do you scrunch your hair?

I too have very curly hair I use Aussie Sprunch Spray and some moose but my hair is very fine. You may need to use something else if yours is thick.

How do you scrunch your hair?

I would get a moose (sp?). rub it in your hands and and grab pieces of your hair all over your head. then just let it dry. matrix products are my favorite

How do you scrunch your hair?

I use plenty of mousse, hairspray and a little gel. Turn your head upside down and apply products that way first. Be sure to scrunch hair and push hair up to your hhead.. face upright and apply more product.

Hope that helped a little

How do you scrunch your hair?

I hade the same problem. i scrunch it with ringlet it keeps the frizz down but not all the way. so, wat i do is put it half up half down curly and it looks amazing but i dont like my hair completly down curly. thats what i would do

How do you scrunch your hair?

either when ur hair is wet or dry put some moose in your hair and just like grab ur hair to make it like curly...hope that makes sense haha

How do you scrunch your hair?

chi products will be too heavy to use if you have curley hair and want curley hair. Scruples makes a great curl line... it actually will probably be alot heatlier for your hair to stop the hot iron everyday. use a curl shampoo cond and follow up with a spritz.... spritz it in when your head it turned upside down and dry it with a difusser dryer.. hope it helps

How do you scrunch your hair?

I have the same kind of hair. I use herbal essences mousse or alberto V05. When your hair is wet, flip your head over and squeeze some mousse into your hands. Run it through your strands, making sure you don't miss any spots, and then scrunch it. flip your head over and shake your hair out. use your fingers to fluff up certain areas so you get volume, but not too much.Let it air dry. it will look really pretty when it dries.

How do you scrunch your hair?

after washing hair squeeze with a towel to get as much moisture out of your hair as you can. DON'T rub your head with a towel it willl make you hair frizzy. then take a 'scrunching spray' or hair gel works well, put some in your hair and scrunch every section of you hair, scrunch it toward your roots.

hope this helps

How do you scrunch your hair?

kk, u get scrunching gel, i use herbal essences. when ur hair is wet (when u just get out of the shower) put a BUNCH of it all over ur hair %26amp;%26amp; then grab ur hair and start scrunching it!! it works 4 me!! good luck!

How do you scrunch your hair?

i use Aussie scrunch mousse and what i do is i let my hair dry a little when i get out of the shower because i dont want to product to get watered down and flip it upside down and just work the product through my hair usuallly grabbing the ends of my hair and just like bundling it up to my roots. then i put it in a bun and usually sleep on it cause it gives it time to dry. when i take it out walah. its scrunched. you dont have to put it in the bun you can probably just let it dry but i hate having wet hair on my back so thats why i do that. hope this helps!

I need a good hair straightner! but my hair is horrible !!would it work for me ?

i need a good hair straightner for less than $40.The chi is toooo expensive.And i was thinking about getting the remington wet to straight but i read a really bad review which kinda convinced my mom not to buy it . So i need a good one. cheap one but should work great . but my friends says not to buy very expensive ones cuz it may not be good. so if you have any suggestion it will be great.

I need a good hair straightner! but my hair is horrible !!would it work for me ?

I don't know why your friend told you not to buy an expensive one, but I say never buy a cheap one, they will cause your hair to damage. The only thing you should use is 100% ceramic or tourmaline ceramic plates, which usually cost more. Drugstore irons are usually just metal plates that have a thin ceramic coating. This may cause hot spots that can damage your hair. I have thin frizzy damage prone hair and I use a sedu because it has even heat and won't snag my hair.

I hate to say it but if your hair is that bad you should not be using a cheap one. THe only people that can get away with using cheap ones is people with very healthy strong hair in the first place. The only one that MAYBE is good is the new one with teflon coating, I think is a remington. Do NOT get a conair, it will make your hair worse. And your mom is right about the wet to straight, you should never use any kind of iron on wet hair, especially damaged hair, without breaking or weakenin hair more. You will have to decide if you want to damage your hair more or just save your money for a better one. One option is to buy a generic Chi at Sally beauty supply for less.

Whatever you decide, you MUST use a heat protectant product to protect your hair from further damage/drying out, try Matrix iron smoother, or tresemme heat tamer, or any other heat protectant product before you style. Good luck!

I need a good hair straightner! but my hair is horrible !!would it work for me ?

HI :)

Don't by the CHI iron by a bottle of CHI silk infusion,

its under $40- use it with a round brush and a blow dryer,

same results!

Ciao*

I need a good hair straightner! but my hair is horrible !!would it work for me ?

The one I have I got from a beauty supply store. I would check out their selection 1st. The ones at WalMart and Meijer never work well for me because they don't get hot enough. I have the Helen of Troy and it works great. In my opinion, buying a good one is worth the money. Good Luck!

I need a good hair straightner! but my hair is horrible !!would it work for me ?

The only great ones are the ones with ceramic plates. It will straighten and take out the frizz. Not to mention they get hotter than the cheap ones so they straighten faster. They are really worth the investment. If you can't convince your mom to buy one then see if you can raise some money yourself (babysitting or doing extra chores) maybe if you save half the money she might be willing to put in the $40 she was willing to spend on the other one. If you have to get a cheap one then make sure you get a balm to put on your hair first that is a smoother and helps with the heat damage to your hair. It will help make it silkier.

I need a good hair straightner! but my hair is horrible !!would it work for me ?

The sedu is the best in my opinion. Remember you get what you pay for. Cheaper ones do not do as well as a job and you are out shopping for another one spending more money.

I need a good hair straightner! but my hair is horrible !!would it work for me ?

Two words:

I need a good hair straightner! but my hair is horrible !!would it work for me ?

ghd's are too expensive for you i think but pressing comb?

try this wesite (though it's uk you can get some nice things)

www.argos.co.uk

if that link doesn't work go to erm google and type in argos catalogue

good luck love x

I need a good hair straightner! but my hair is horrible !!would it work for me ?

if you want a cheap and good hair straightener, then get a conair. This one works very well:

http://www.conair.com/professional-insta...

they're normally about 25 dollars. They have a wide surface and a comb so you can straighten more at once and the comb makes the hair really smooth. another thing to use before you straighten is V05 styling products and there is a pre straightening product that is only about 3 dollars and makes hair really smooth.

I need a good hair straightner! but my hair is horrible !!would it work for me ?

i have the remington wet to straight and i love it. my mom uses it too. and she has super puffy frizzy curly hair and it gets her hair straight and its really nice if you dont have time to blow dry. i really suggest that you get it. my friend has really curly hair and uses it and she straightens her hair fast. it heats up in 60 seconds max its really nice

good luck

I need a good hair straightner! but my hair is horrible !!would it work for me ?

Hi there,

I've also fought with finding a good flat iron. First most important thing - there is a HUGE difference between a drug store brand iron and a professional-type one. Once you try the professional one, you'll never go back.

Second, I'm not sure what you mean by horrible hair. If it's highly textured, you just need to get a flat iron that heats up higher - some go up to 410 degrees F. You never want to go too hot, but stubborn hair, especially textured really needs the extra heat. If your problem is frizz, always use the flat iron with a flat iron product. A really good one is called FHI Hot Sauce. (costs way less than the Chi products). It moisturizes the hair and protects from the iron.

In terms of the actual iron, here are a couple of things to look for. The newest technology is anything with Tourmaline in it. These are crushed up gem stones that give off a negative charge so that they neutralize the hair's positive charges so that you're frizz free. Tourmaline also is combined with ceramic far-infrared technology to leave hair even smoother. A really good, semi-inexpensive tourmaline iron is called the Cricket StraightCrazy Tourmaline Ceramic Straightening Iron. It's a little bit over your $40 price range at $54, but the extra $14 is well worth it. If you're absolutely set at the under $40 range, try the 2" Flat Iron by Hot Tools (a divison of Helen of Troy), which is only $36. Hot Tools and Helen of Troy products work really well - they're kind of like an intermediate product between drug store and something that they'd use at a salon.

Now, that being said, if you and your mom really want to splurge and get the best iron that will last for years and years, check out irons by FHI heat. There are two kinds, Technique Series and Platform Series. The technique has a fixed temperature of 410 degrees F (super hot) and is awesome for textured hair. These cost less than $80. The Platform series have adjustable temperature that ranges from 140-450 degrees F, which I think is better so that you can find the heat that's best for you. These start at $144. BUT, once you try it, you won't even consider using anything else.

Hope this helps...good luck!

What is the best brand of Hair flat iron?

I want a good hair straightener that I can also use to curl my hair. Here's some I found:

Herstyler

CHI

Sedu

Can you recommend me the best one?

My hair is thick and I have a lot. It's straight but poufy.

What is the best brand of Hair flat iron?

I have super thick hair too, that gets poofy!!. I have a GA.MA brand staightener its got 1.5" paddles and its a ceramic staightener

I use it to curl the tips of my hair but pretty much any staightener that you try to staighten more than the tips is gonna leave a kink in your hair

What is the best brand of Hair flat iron?

I Love Superstar...I swear by it. It is by far one of the best I have ever encountered. I've been through so many different brands. I highly recommend it. I promise you, you will not be disappointed. I have been straightening my hair for 15 years.

http://www.folica.com/Superstar__321_1.h...

What is the best brand of Hair flat iron?

I have long thick hair too.. i use Remington's wet 2 strait it does wonders on my hair lol also make sure you use lots of leave in conditioner as soon as you get out of the shower! I never straighten my hair when its wet though its not very good for your hair. but its a pretty good straightener!

What is the best brand of Hair flat iron?

Ya we have the same hair type and its not easy because you have to control frizz and make sure its not soo puffy and all that but I use Chi which is kind of expensive but reliable, and it works but again you have to use the right serums and hair products. Use Garnier Fructis and some salon suggested products for thick hair to control frizz and make it shiny and straight.

What is the best brand of Hair flat iron?

The Chi in my opinion is the best straightener. I have the same problem you have and it works wonders for me. It's ceramic so it doesn't burn your hair and it makes it really silky and shiny. It's strictly a straightener which I think is better because I don't think the 2 in 1 irons work as well. It's a great investment!

Here's the one I use:

http://www.beautygalaxy.com/index.asp?Pa...

What is the best brand of Hair flat iron?

you cant beat GHD. you need to use good quality hair products first then use v05 silky smooth on just washed hair. when dry section hair then straighten it with the irons. in between washes, use a tiny amount of hair serum on the ends and section and use irons again. It will curl also but you need wrist action to do this so practice first

What is the best brand of Hair flat iron?

CHI.. its amazing and it lasts!!

There are so many hair products to use with it! you will love it!

What is the best brand of Hair flat iron?

I use revlon. Turn it on a high heat setting, but use a heat-conditioning spray. You can get them anywhere! It protects your hair against high-heat so you can straighten all the more.

What is the best brand of Hair flat iron?

CHI is a miracle

i have the same problem and it works wonders!

What is the best brand of Hair flat iron?

Sedu works great for my THICK, FRIZZY hair. it is the only iron that let my hair stay straight for days even in high humidity (new york city).

What is the best brand of Hair flat iron?

As a stylist, I have used a lot of flat irons/hair straighteners, including Sedu, Hai, Infrashine, Chi, Paul Mitchell, Solia, Big Sexy, Andis, Babyliss Ghd, T3, Kenta etc. You should get a Professional hair straightener, they style much better and faster, and most importantly, they protect your hair.

In terms of performance:

The best ones are: Sedu, Kenta, Solia, Infrashine, Ghd. These are top of the line professional brands

Above average: Chi, Hai, Paul Mitchell,

Average: T3, Big Sexy, Andis, Babyliss

Below Average: Conair, Vidal Sassoon, Revlon, Bed Head etc. These are cheap consumer brands that you will find in drugstore. If you care about your hair, do NOT buy them.

Any recommended hair straighteners?

I have a lot of thick, hard-to-manage, wavy hair. With a cheap straightener that I got from Walmart, it usually took me like 2 hours to straighten, and it still looked big. But a hair stylist once used the Paul Mitchell Flat Iron on me along with the Super Skinny Serum, and it only took 30 minutes to get my hair sleek and straight. So I was planning on getting that one, but I did some research and found a lot of mixed reviews. I've also heard a lot about the CHI. But would it really work with my hair?

Any recommended hair straighteners?

I have a chi and I have wavvy thick hair. Before I had a walmart straightner and i would do my hair before school and by 2nd hour i would have those like wavy kinks and it sucked! But then I bought a CHI and I will NEVER go back Its amazing! Everyone says they are expensive and I agree they are a bit pricy but its a good investment. Don't you feel WAY better when your hair looks good? Anyways they sell them at Bed Bath %26amp; Beyond (weird I know) and you can go onto their website and sign up for their mailing list and get a 20% off coupon and they are oringnally like $129 so they are about a $100 with the coupon. They also except linens n things coupons. And if you don't a Bed Bath and Beyond near you you could try their website (not sure how much s%26amp;h is though)

Hope this helps!

try goldwell

Any recommended hair straighteners?

I would get a Chi and the liquid. I use it and I have very thick hair.

Any recommended hair straighteners?

chi did sound gud to me too but ghds and any other skinny irons were made originally for those with short hair. I have just bought large Saks ceramics from ebay,they make mornings so much easier!

Any recommended hair straighteners?

Nicky Clarke straighteners are EXCELLENT with a fair price (not too cheap or too expensive) my hair is really frizzy and i get straight hair within half an hour

Any recommended hair straighteners?

If your hair is thick, you need more heat. So a chi is ceramic, which heats up hotter and stays hotter between each section use.

But before you go and spend 100$ get the Paul Mitchell serum. that's the good stuff.

It will help alot.

good luck.

Any recommended hair straighteners?

OMG!! CHI is amazing!!

If you can afford it and have a carrier nearby, get some "Straight Sexy Hair" straightening cream [by sexy hair], or the cheaper Herbal Es senses Dangerously Straight cream [not too much, it gets greasy...] from, like, Wal mart.

Then, Spray hair evenly with heat protecting spray. [sexy hair has one, and i love it, but there are many at drugstores that work]

USE A CHI FLAT IRON, I LOVE THEM!!! they work for everybody!!

If your hair is really, really curly and kinda puffy, spray it with some aerosol hair spray to hold it, Pantene makes a really good one.

HOPE I HELPED!! %26lt;33

Any recommended hair straighteners?

I got a CHI and I have thick curly hair and it worked better than those walmart cheapies.

Yes it is expensive but they are worth it!!!!

Make sure you get some spray to help protect your hair to!!!! hope I helped!!!

Try the Sedu, Chi, or maxiglide

Any recommended hair straighteners?

get the revlon hair iron at target or other stores. its cheap and very affective. with the money you have left over, you can use it to buy other hair products

I need help with my african american hair ASAP?

I have decieded to go natural because im getting tired of perms...i haven't gotten a perm in about 4-5 months but whenever i use my chi iron it flatens it out as if i had a perm...my mom told me that if i don't cut off my permed hair that it will break off but i don't think so...my hair is somewhat long and is hard to manage when its wet and so wavy, but so easy to manage when i use the chi. i guess my questions are: will my hair break off if i don't cut off the permed hair??? and when i grow out the permed hair, and when i flat iron it, will it still look the same??? also, is this even a good idea because i don't think i will ever wear it as a fro, i just want to flat iron it everytime and i just want the full-ness i used to have when i was a child.

proffesionals and experienced naturals only please.

thanks.

I need help with my african american hair ASAP?

Wow.

I can definitely help you with this. I have the exact same hair. Well, I used to. Now, there are two options.

1) You can use hair curlers and hair gel to make it tightly curly and put it in a pony tail, or make dreds (but that's like a lifetime commitment)

2) You can cut it shoulder-length and straighten it, and that opens up so many different hairstyles. TIP: Go to seventeen.com for a few.

Hope this helps!

P.S.- I tried the second option.

I need help with my african american hair ASAP?

talk to dr. la tanya sharpe.

shes amazing.

my husband used to be dr. la tanya sharpe

I need help with my african american hair ASAP?

well... to tell you the truth hun... your hair is going to break off because perms SERIOUSLY damage your hair... if i were you... i wood cut it off and get extensions or a wig or if it looks good cut then leev it... but u shood cut it off so u can start over wit new hair and it will look greet!!

I need help with my african american hair ASAP?

actually going natural with your hair will cause breakage, if you dont keep it trimed, because your hair is so use to perms. if you keep your hair trimed it will show less breakage and then you will be able to go natural.

I need help with my african american hair ASAP?

Your permed hair won't break out unless you're putting your flat iron to it without heat protection like a thermal spray. You still need to get trims every 6 weeks to clip off the split ends (they occur easier on chemically treated/relaxed hair).

Your flat iron will make your natural hair look like it did when you got it relaxed. Make sure you use the thermal spray EVERY time (natural hair is more brittle). I love CHI Iron Guard spray, and it holds your hair...even in humidity it won't get frizzy or wavy unless you sweat a lot.

my hair is always dry and has split ends, how do I prevent that?

How do I keep my hair healthy?

No a CHI flat iron would not help. They all fry your hair. You just need to take good care of it and condition it regularly and use a heat protecting serum or spray.. CHI makes some! And try to not wash your hair daily.. the natural oils will make your hair so healthy.

How do I keep my hair healthy?

I should be the spokeperson for this product but I swear by Neutrogena Triple Moisture Daily Deep Conditioner.

It's for extra dry and over-processed hair.

It really saved my hair and I have tried some very expensive products before without being happy with the result but THIS worked wonders! My hair is now soft, easy to comb, shiny and stronger.

And the product can be found for less than 10$ a tube that will last a whole month. Try it, you WON'T be disappointed.

How do I keep my hair healthy?

get a Levon conditioner or something.

How do I keep my hair healthy?

yes, a better flat iron would help. also, moisturize! use a moisturizing shampoo, plus a good conditioner. also, once a week, use a deep conditioner, and concentrate on your ends. for the best results, i've heard of putting the deep conditioner on your hair BEFORE getting in the shower, on dry hair; it's able to penetrate the hair shaft better i think. anyway, also use a leave in conditioner, and a heat protecting spray. it's a lot of products and work, but it's so worth it for healthy, shiny hair!

Get the split ends cut out cos other wise ur hair will be in a worse condition from it totally splitting. If you wash ur hair everyday wash it with a daily shampoo and conditioner. Condition ur whole hair not just the tips like people say you should. Then use heat defensive products to stop ur hair drying out. Use aussi 3 minute miracle conditioner as well as ur regular conditioner everyday/ every 2 days when ur washing ur hair, leave it on as long as possible but dont stress it.

How do I keep my hair healthy?

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle which includes proper diet and nutrition is a major key to beautiful hair. But, unfortunately, we do not always have proper eating habits.

Some thing you can do to help maintain the natural beauty in your hair:

-Good hygiene is important for healthy hair. This includes brushing the hair properly and washing it with a mild shampoo. Good nutrition (a well - balanced diet of fresh foods and lots of water) This also improves the hair's texture.

-Wash your hair daily or every other day. The extra circulation provided by the shampoo /message stimulates the oil glands to work more efficiently and brings natural oils into the hair.

-Give your hair a good brushing before bed. This should be done by bending forward from the waist, head down, brushing from the back to front. Brush at least fifty to one hundred strokes. This will help remove dirt, pollutants and damaging particles from the hair in addition to stimulate circulation which will increase natural oils for added sheen and oxygen to the hair and scalp.

Good Luck.

take care of it and stop flat ironing it everyday!!!!!

How do I keep my hair healthy?

tons of conditioner

How do I keep my hair healthy?

I had the same problem. I started to use a conditioning mask every week. Panteen Pro V has a really good one that you leave in for about 5 minutes and then rinse out. Also get a heat protectant spray to use everytime you flat iron your hair.

How do I keep my hair healthy?

If you want your hair to be straight all the time, look into relaxers and japanese hair straightening...but only after you have restored your hair's health. You should stop flat ironing it everyday, that's why you have the split ends and dryness and use a really good leave-in conditioner. Do not wash everyday, blow-dry or brush your hair if its curly/ethnic as all these cause damage and dryness. The Chi iron probably will not help much, its just a flat iron. I have really curly hair and I spent lots of money on a flat iron recently and honestly, its not worth it, the 30 dollar version works much better...so take care of your hair and consider chemicaly straightening it, cuz flat ironing is just as bad, if not worse so dont think you are saving your hair by not chemicaly straigtening it....

Suggestions for keeping hair straight??

Ok, I have really curly hair so i straighten it with my Chi Turbo, it's wonderful, but i cant seem to keep it straight the entire day, or even a few hours. It allways seems to flip in or flip out.

I need some home made, or store bought products that can help fight humidity or keep my hair straight. ~ thank you

Suggestions for keeping hair straight??

you can get this stuff in a pink bottle by Loreal called hot straight, it works really good and also protects your hair from the heat damage. or you could get it permantley straightened, it would stay straight just like if you had naturally pin straight hair.

Suggestions for keeping hair straight??

Any heat guard spray should do the trick, Chi makes one....actually most professional styling lines have one.

Help with hairstyles/hair for mixed teenager with curly hair?

hi! i am mixed also, and i went in for a relaxer and my stylist made sure that i knew what i was getting myself into before she put those harmful chemicals into my curly hair. and i'll tell you rite now, after what she told me i just gave up on getting a relaxer and now i just stick to straightening it with a flat iron. there is nothing wrong with getting a relaxer but just make sure u kno wat u r doing b4 u get one. think long and hard about it, bcuz curls are a blessing. And to answer ur question, yes i dont see why it wouldnt look rite if u got ur hair layered and cut, but would u really want to give up ur curls 4 ever?

Help with hairstyles/hair for mixed teenager with curly hair?

Because your hair is not that long, I would wear it straight until it grows out and then wear it curly. Yes I do think that bangs and layers would look good on you but be careful how much they cut off.

Does anybody know which hair dye will last longer, RAW or special effects in reds?

ive tried matrix,chi, paul mitchel, redken and special effects lasted me 5 good weeks with little fading. all the other ones barely lasted 2 weeks with lots fading i also use artec shampoo for reds. ive never tried RAW so am wondering which one lasts longest RAW or special effects. thanx

Does anybody know which hair dye will last longer, RAW or special effects in reds?

SPECAIL EFFECTS im going to order like 5 soon when i get some more mony!!! manic panic is good i have two now i hvae cotton candy pink %26amp; after midnight blue

Does anybody know which hair dye will last longer, RAW or special effects in reds?

I personally dont know of any red colors that tend to last longer then others, i tend to like matrix and redkins red lights more so then any of the other lines, but it is also in the way you take care of the color after its in your hair. with red i always advise my clients to not wash for a few days after they get it colored. just to let it set in then i also tell them to wash with cool water and use a very cold (as cold as you can stand it) shot of water or your final rinse to close the cuticle of your hair to prevent the color from slipping out.

Can you bring a hair straightener in your carry on?

I asked this question in the travel section and nothing came up so..... I am going to Mexico tomorrow and was wondering if i can bring it on the plane. The reason I want to is I have a chi and would be lost w/ out it

Can you bring a hair straightener in your carry on?

I am so glad you asked this question! I am getting on a plane in 2 hours and I packed my hair straightener in my carry on hoping I would make it through security. Whew! By the way - you can always check the TSA website to find banned items: http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/p...

Can you bring a hair straightener in your carry on?

Yes you can, I recently flew to North Carolina and back with it in my carry on and it was fine. I also had my bottle of hair protecting serum and they did not stop me. good luck. Mine is a Chi too, I love it!

Can you bring a hair straightener in your carry on?

yes you can.

And by the way, is the chi really better than a lot of straightners?

Can you bring a hair straightener in your carry on?

I don't think so.

If you're flying from the USA, don't forget that it is considered as an international flight, so they could end up taking it from you either going or coming back. Best bet, put it in your suitcase and not the carry on. I had my favorite comb taken from me in London Heathrow last year because of safety concerns. Had I realized that they'd consider it a potential weapon, I'd put it in the suitcase and not my carry on.

What is a good shampoo/conditioner or product to make your hair glossy?

basically anyone that u like. what i do is, i use my conditioner, and leave it in for 5 or 6 minutes, then wash it out. afterwards my hair feels really soft and smooth and shiny. aslo u can add a little bit of honey to ur shampoo, and that works too. :)

What is a good shampoo/conditioner or product to make your hair glossy?

i would use any of those hair glosses. they seem work the best. i get my conditioner from a saloon, i just use conditioner that i can put a comb thru my hair right after i wash it. If I cant do that I try a new one. i have very long hair and the one im using right now is fantastic s ams dry/ damaged conditioner even tho i dont have damaged hair. thus is probably why my hair is down to butt. stick with the hydrating conditioners.

Need some hair help please!?

Hello everyone! I am going to the rodeo this coming weekend (3-3-07) and I am tired of having the same hair style. I have dark blonde hair, 1 inch past my shoulder, layers, side bangs, and a long oval shaped face %26amp; big green eyes. My hair is naturally wavy. I usally straighten it with a Chi Turbo (the red one!) or make my hair curly with the Aussie Scrunch Spray (love it!). Oh....did I mention that my hair is thin and super damaged from my Chi!?!?! It has no volume at all...when it does get volume it only last for about 2 hours. I'm looking for something cute that would last for the whole night....up-do's, down-do's(lol), anything will work! Appreciate anyone that has any advice for me!

Need some hair help please!?

But on that cowboy hat! Maybe braids on both sides, that a way to go cowgirl!

If you don't want to wear one....add some bright blonde highlights to the front of your face, w/wavy hair, scrunch it up w/your aussie spray!

Need some hair help please!?

First of all we know heat is an ouch to hair. Sooo you can try baby oil for a couple hrs wash and then drench it with baby oil then make sure that you really rinse it out and be sure to use a great shampoo and cond. Also you might want to see a hair stylist to give you help you might also try to get a shampoo that has a sptriper in it to get the product out to give it lift. If you use the same brand of shampoo change it every other time.

Need some hair help please!?

have you tried big and sexy product, also do some back combing to the back of your hair that will give it a lift.
