After I use the ceramic flat iron my hair looks frizzy. Help??

You have 3 problems here. One your hair is frizzy naturally but also it sounds like you are flat ironing your hair slightly wet and one more is you are burning your hair. I am a professional and what it sounds to me is your hair is burning.

If you use any iron on wet hair it can smoke and burn but also if you use it to long in the hair or to hot it will burn. Use professional products for frizzy and to help it hold before you dry your hair. Then when you use your iron try to find a way to see how hot it is. Meaning with a reg iron you put your finger in the middle of the iron where the hair is thickest and when it gets to hot for your finger it means your hair will start to burn. Burning will always frizz your hair. You then will need a reconstructor treatment to help your hair with the damage you have done. There is no way to fix burned hair but you can make it look better as it grows out. First I would do a gentle deep cleansing by mixing professional shampoo, baking soda and water. Should be like a cake mix batter and run through your hair. But a bag over and use a hair blower to heat your head. Then cover with a towel and let it cool. Do not rinse your hair if it is hot it can make hair break off. You will follow this same procedure for the deep conditioning treatment. A treatment is different then just a good conditioner. It is for repairs not just moisture. I hope this helps, there are great professional products out there for fizzy hair.

Oh one more thing, you can put a defuser on your hair blower that will also help with frizzy hair. And blow dry a warm to cool not hot.

Use a frizz-ease product, like John Frieda Frizz-Ease. A shine spray would be another possibility - it helps tame frizz %26amp; flyaways.

Try to find a product to use pre-flat ironing that will protect your hair against the heat. Then, make sure your flat iron has "ions" in it, which help seal broken/split ends, and result in more flat, shiny, and smooth hair. There are also many products you can use after you straighten your hair, such as Bed Head products, which work very well.

IF IT IS FRIZZY AFTER YOU STRAIGHTEN THEN YOU MUST BLOCK THE HUMIDITY, UNFORTUNATELY THE ONLY WAY TO DO THIS IS .... MORE PRODUCT.... TRY THE SERUM BEFORE YOU STRAIGHTEN AND SOME KIND OF SPRAY AS SOON AS YOU DO A FEW STRANDS.. THAT SHOULD DO IT..

After I use the ceramic flat iron my hair looks frizzy. Help??

when i was in south florida (on holiday, you are so lucky to live there and not in rainy london, uk!) i gave up on straight hair for the daytime and just put a dab of coconut oil in my hair. this, plus the humidity, produced really nice defined curls.

i think air drying is good but you probably still need to blowdry when its 95% dry to take control of it, but just make the room as cool as possible while you do. the texture of my hair wouldn't allow me to straighten it with irons immediately so that could be the problem. unless you have those wet2straight irons?

the big epiphany for me in achieving straght hair was understanding the fact that it was my hair's texture that needed to change, not the fact that it was naturally wavy. if it feels clean and silky it will stay straight. if it feels thick and/or moist, but looks straight, it won't. blowdrying with the right products can dramatically alter the texture of your hair - paul mitchell seal and shine is good, and try phytologie, bumble and bumble or frederic fekkai products.

I've heard of a flat iron called Wet To Dry. It supposed to work really good because you can do your hair whether it's wet or dry. It costs about 40 dollars at Walmart.

Does anyone own a Sedu brand hair straightener and if so, how is it?

I have noticed it is the #1 seller on follica.com but everyone on here seems to think the Chi is better.

Does anyone own a Sedu brand hair straightener and if so, how is it?

SEDU is MUCH better than the CHI. I own both and only use the sedu, especially if you have really curly, flizzy, or kinky hair.

Does anyone own a Sedu brand hair straightener and if so, how is it?

I LOVE my Chi! The first one I had, I owned for almost five years, and now I have another one! They are absolutely the best of the best and leave your hair not only straight, but soft %26amp; shiny!

Does anyone own a Sedu brand hair straightener and if so, how is it?

The GHD is best. Read the reviews on follica!

Does anyone own a Sedu brand hair straightener and if so, how is it?

it's number one because most salons use sedu....it's a great straightener but $pricy$. if u have the money, get it but CHI is just awesome. we use it on my friend's hair in school and her hair is like MUFASA from lion king. it does an awesome job and CHI has great styling products that go with it. redken smooth down thermal spray is great when using any straightener.

Question for people who use a flat iron/hair straightener?

Ok I use a Chi and after while I can smell my hair and it smells very burnt and stinky after I straighten it.

No I don't over straighten it but ever since I started using a Chi it really has a fried scent to it.

What can I do about this?

Don't say stop using a Chi because I just spend tons on it and it works my hair just has a bad odor after I flat iron it and yes I shampoo and condition.

Should I spray like body spray on it or what!?

Question for people who use a flat iron/hair straightener?

I use the Chi too you should use syrum its what your suppose to wear after you just put it on your hair and it smells better and it makes your hair healthy and gives you less of a chance to get split ends.

Question for people who use a flat iron/hair straightener?

If your really concered about how it smells then id say yeahh spray some stuff on it.

maybe like a scented hair spray or somethin like that =]

Question for people who use a flat iron/hair straightener?

there are special sprays and creams wich you can buy to protect your hair from iron damage

Your iron is probably too hot and it's killing your hair

If you cant change the temperature on your iron you should get a different one

Question for people who use a flat iron/hair straightener?

I spray a lil bit of perfume on my hair sometimes, Does your straighter have a setting so you can put it on low heat or meduim ?

Question for people who use a flat iron/hair straightener?

There is Chi Spray that you can get so your hair does not get damaged and also it makes your hair smell nicer.

Question for people who use a flat iron/hair straightener?

umm i would say maybe get the flat iron spray that they have its supposed to keep your hair healthier and get your hair straighter and shinier...personally i don't use it because i think my hair straightens better without it but it might work for you

Question for people who use a flat iron/hair straightener?

I usually just spray a little hairspray in the palms of my hands and run it through my hair, it makes it smell good and keeps fly aways tamed too. Hope this helps!

=]

Question for people who use a flat iron/hair straightener?

I use Chi too and I know exactly what you mean. First thing you need to make sure that you have some sort of product in your hair (i.e. mousse, straightening gel). This will help protect your hair from the heat damage. Secondly, most straighteners have some sort of dial to change how hot the thing gets. Make sure that this is not on high. The high setting is for people with extremely coarse, and curly hair. Turn this dial to the middle or set it to medium. That is what I do and it prevents the stinky smell and the frying of the hair. I love Chi and I hope this info helps!

Question for people who use a flat iron/hair straightener?

Did you just buy the chi? If so, it is normal to have an odor and even smoke the first few times you use it. That will eventually stop with use. Also, are you using any heavy products on your hair prior to straightening it? You should shampoo and condition and then blow dry your hair (unless it is a chi wet-to-dry). After it's dry, you should apply a thermal protective spray and flat iron it. Save all other products, including hairspray, until after you are done with the iron, otherwise you could cause that "fried" smell.

Good Luck!

I've heard of a Solia hair straightener, does anyone recommend it?

I need a new straightener, I'm starting to dislike my CHI and feel I want to try something new. Any suggestions?

I've heard of a Solia hair straightener, does anyone recommend it?

Definately get a Sedu. I got mine for Christmas and love it, I use it all the time and it cuts straightening time in half. Also it leaves your hair smooth and frizz free! Top hairstylist use it for celebrities.

I've heard of a Solia hair straightener, does anyone recommend it?

I heard the Solia is really good. I almost bought that but instead I got Sedu. Solia is a great straightener.

I've heard of a Solia hair straightener, does anyone recommend it?

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.

=== Tips for buying professional hair appliances ===

Do NOT buy professional hair appliances from unauthorized places like amazom.com, eBay, Target, Walmart, etc. Because if you do, manufacturers will refuse to honor the warranty. Buy from licensed places like salon, licensed professional beauty stores like Folica.com, Ulta.com, West Coast Beauty Supply Inc. etc

I've heard of a Solia hair straightener, does anyone recommend it?

I got my Solia a few years back, it worked great for my hair (and my sister's hair too). Last August my sister went to a college in california, she took the Solia with her. Initially I wanted another Solia, but Jonna (my hair stylist) convinced me to get a Sedu. I did. Like Jonna said, Sedu is the best.

Now they have 2008 model (Sedu Revolution) , i can't wait to try it!

CHI straighteners??

I was wondering...

1- What's the difference between the original model and the Farouk model?

2- What are some advantages and disadvantages of these straighteners?

and

3- Will a CHI straightener work on frizzy, wavy, chlorine damaged hair, and if so, which one should I get?

Thank you thank you thank you! :)

CHI straighteners??

1. Farouk is the name of the company that manufactures Chi products. So there is no "original" model and then the "farouk" model. They are the same.

2. The advantage to this flat iron is that it uses negative ions and ceramic plates to straighten the hair at high temperatures without damaging the hair and stripping it of moisture. Also, to a professional stylist, it's advantage is that is heats up very quickly, and can stay at a high temperature for a very long period of time. (In other words, we can keep it turned on all day and it won't hurt anything)

A disadvantage would be that they don't have heat settings on most of the models, it's either on or off. However, I believe the ones they are producing now can be set to either High or Low. Other than that, there aren't too many disadvantages to these irons. They won't damage your hair like some other irons, and they are durable and long-lasting.

3. Yes, they work on all hair types from super tight coarse curls to super straight fine hair that just needs to be smoothed. However, I would recommend using a nice clarifying shampoo once a week for chlorine damaged hair (I really like Shampoo Three by Paul Mitchell). Here are some other tips: Never use on anything other than totally dry hair. If your hair is damp at all, you WILL fry it. Also, use a heat protector spray, like Redken Fabricate or Matrix Iron Smoother on the hair before flat ironing, but avoid using any other kind of products (gel, mouse, hairspray) BEFORE flat ironing. If you do, you will get product buildup on the iron, and your hair can become very damaged. However, it's 100% okay to use hairspray or other products AFTER you are done straightening.

In conclusion, I highly recommend getting a Chi iron, and for you I would suggest getting the 1 or 1 1/2 inch size so that you can work with smaller sections of hair to get the smoothest and straightest style possible. A Chi really is worth the investment. You will love it. Good luck!

CHI straighteners??

I dont know any of those questions but I have really wavy curly and frizzy hair and I shampoo it with Pantene Pro-V EXTRA staright shampoo and them comb blow dry it with a round brush. It starightens your hair really good.

CHI straighteners??

A CHI flat iron is top of the line in the world of hairstyling. it will and can do anything you want it too. If your hair is what you described in question 3, by all means, get a CHI you'll be surprised. My suggestion is to always use a flat iron spray/thermal protective spray before you use any type of flat iron. It protects your hair from extereme heat.

The only disadvantage I can think of is that I have normal color treated hair. I have hair that all stylist dream about, it will do anything - anything. Therefore, a CHI, I feel is too hot for my hair. I have used it on clients with hair as you described in your question and they loved it!!

I hope this helps. If you would like other stylist opinions, check out my yahoo! group cosmoinfo2006 and post your question there, they could give you lots of insight.

BTW, don't use pantene, it leaves a waxy build up on your hair over time. You know the shine they promise in their product? it's wax.

CHI straighteners??

1 i am not sure

2 A advantage is a heats up in a minute and makes my curly frizzy hair stick straight in under 20 minutes

3 Yep it will work this is a great product i recommend it !
