What beautiful, thick hair you have. That is a blessing. Your hair is not poofy..it is really full. Full hair is wonderful and you will be grateful for it as you grow older.

I don't recommend that you straighten your hair more than 1x a week..because, no matter what straightener you buy, heat is damaging. CHI makes great ceramin straighteners that are expensive, but protect the hair shaft.

You can also use styling products that will make your hair more soft and straight without stripping it of its nutrients.

Try Beauty 4 Ashes GodHead products; they are all natural and have straightened my new growth wonderfully after 2 months between relaxers. They also have doubled my hair growth rate. I receive so many compliments on my hair. You can also try Carol's Daughter, although many of her products are not all natural, her hair milk is great for softening the hair.

Also, treat your hair to home conditioning masks.

Mix 1/4 cup of Mayonnaise

1 T of Honey

1 T Olive Oil

1/2 tsp Lemon Juice

Allow to remain on your hair for 30-60 minutes. Do this before you wash your hair. It will straighten and moisturize your hair. It will look fabulous after your blow dry and flat iron. It will also reduce damage to your hair.

a CHI, solia, or ghd for fast but if u dont care about it being fast any ceramic straightener turned all the way up as high as the temperature will go

try the chi straightener...its about $200 bucks but worth it since it doesn't do heavy damage to your hair. other than that, i would go with straightening irons with ceramic plates.

okay, you're not ugly for one. People on here just get a kick out of being assholes. lol.

I would definitly talk to a stylist. They can suggest one according to your hair type and cost range. good luck

I like the maxius, although, I am not african american. I think you could use it too.

I have hair JUST like yours, i am not even kidding. I could never wear my hair down until i bought the Maxi-Glide by Maxius. It is the best straightener out there, and the only one that worked on my hair (on level 10) its got steam to keep the hair shiny and silky, even if it is really textured. The only problem is the 80 dollar price tag, but if i add together all the straighteners i bought before this, it is not even a fraction of the cost.

You're lucky, you have long, pretty straight hair.

Dark and Lovely, Sof'n'Free are two of my faves.

Former comes with shampoo but damages quite a bit over regular use. Cheaper too! It breaks the hair, so it looks really frizzy, which kinda defeats the cause.

Latter is a teensy bit more expensive, but gives hair a shiny, smoooth look.

Good*luck

what's funny is that when a girl looks at her hair she automatically thinks "puffy" or "frizzy" so she looks for products that say they'll stop such a thing... it doesn't work trust me. I fought this for yrs and now i'm really happy... what you need is oil. I KNOW IT SOUNDS CRAZY, some ppl even call it "dirty" but hey, i dont see anyone complaining when they get a first look at my shiny stay-still hair!! I use PALMER'S olive oil, the one already in a bottle and in liquid form (not the creme) or butter as they call it. you can find it online or search online 2 c what local beauty supply carries it. It leaves ur hair still, makes it look a little longer, shiny as if u just took a shower and not only that, it has a GREAT scent!!! which not to bragg but (guys love it) lol, and its esp. perfect for colored hair i have blonde n brown streaks... Or you can use a natural way.. i believe its called "alinasa" and they sell it in the market, just bring it to a broil and use the liquid on ur hair

I have curly hair like yours. And I use Sedu flat iron. It keeps your hair straight as long as it doesn't get wet. When I got mine it was really expensive: $140. But you can use any CERAMIC flat iron, like chi (a really popular brand). For your type of hair, I don't recommend "Cheap" irons. I tried one thay was about $40, and it didn't work AT ALL. I'm serious, if you want silky straight hair buy a good quality one ($80-$200) and use it with frizz-ease. Good Luck! %26lt;3

You are beautiful Honey. Some idiots just can't piss straight.

ANYWAY!!!

I use Conair Infiniti Instant Heat Ceramic 2" Straightener. It's about $50 so you're not breaking the bank. Also, a 2 inch Round Ion Shine Ceramic Brush used with a Salon Style Blow dryer works wonders. It also gives you shine. To keep your hair from being damage try this line of products for Afro American women.

These products stopped my hair from breaking due to relaxers, and protected my hair from the stresses of styling day to day. In my first month, it added so much nutrients to my hair. I had 2 inches of new growth in a month and a half.

wow my hair looks like that except its a bit thicker , longer and tighter curl. i suggest a stove top hot comb. they sale them at salley's. lots of people tell me to get chi so u could try that, i haven't tried it so i can't recommend it to you. and you put grease on your hair wont get damaged.
