Question

My hair is naturally straight and it won’t curl no matter what I try. What can I do?

Community Answer

One option would be getting a permanent, meaning a chemical treatment that will keep your hair always curly, but be warned that it stays that way for a long, long time and thins your hair. You can also try researching techniques for using curling irons in case you're doing it incorrectly.

Question

My hair is straight. Every time I leave it loose, it stays flat. Are there any tips to make my hair bouncy without curling or using hair products like hairspray?

Community Answer

Try blow drying it. Also, using lots of products weighs down your hair, making it flat. Sleeping with your hair wet may help it be bouncy and shiny in the morning!

Question

My hair dries out the more shampoo I use. Should I use more shampoo for my thin, straight hair?

If shampoo dries out your hair, use less and consider washing less frequently, as over-washing can strip natural oils. If dryness persists, try different shampoos and research products tailored to your hair type.
