Another question about hair straightening...? :)?

I do not have curly hair, it's actually pretty straight, but it is very, very puffy and frizzy and get's tangled so easily. Would getting my hair professionally straightened get rid of these problems?

you can but thats a lot of money to spend...first you have to see whats the source of your puffyness and frizz? is it processed hair? very damaged? also i believe its sometimes the shampoo you use too! some wont condition your hair as well...another fix is after you straighten your hair do u put some kind of serum on it to fix the frizz and make ur hair nice shiny and smooth? thers two that i like biosilk and i love the chi one.

Try washing your hair with a really good mosterizing shampoo and conditioner, while your hair is still damp apply a serum to reduce the frizziness and comb your hair with a wide tooth comb (less breakage) you can blowdry it and then use a good straightner, you dont have to get it done professionally...

absolutely. Jpanese style thermal straightening was actually designed to soften and smooth coarse or puffy hair, the side effect was it oblitterated curls. a traditional relaxer wouldnt be good, too harsh and it only removes curls, not a whole lot of frizz reduction. But a curl softening service such as rusk's radical anticurl or matrix optismooth cold smoothing should take down some of the puff and frizz. If you dont have bleach in your hair, and you can afford it, certainly the thermal straightening will be your best option, the curl softening would be your only option if you have lots of bleach or extensively colored hair. if your hair is naturally straight, you'd probably only need to get it done every year or maybe even longer, until the poof returns. some other names to mention at a salon for curl reduction that would be cheaper would be ISO Manetamer, redken vertical, or vavoom straight talk. a curl softener would probably run at 50-100$ whereas thermal straightening *my favorite texture service* will be over 200, usually quite a bit more, closer to 400, but maybe even more then that for really long or thick hair. besure to ask about experience of the stylist doing thermal straightening, as its require a high level of skill or it can be disasterous. The curl softening doesnt require as much technique as the thermal straightening. You could try the curl softening, and if it isnt satisfactory get the thermal straightening a few months later, they are interchangable.thermal staightening is NOT interchagable with traditional relaxers. they should shampoo you before the process then apply this fould smelling paste through your hair. if they do it dry and it doesn't reek, its a relaxer. you can ask a stylist if its thioglycolate *say thio if you cant pronounce it* based, which is what you want. you do not want a hydroxide *either sodium or lithium* based one.
