Expert Answer

Look for a salon that does Brazilian blowouts, which relaxes your hair so it stays straight.

Question

Is there a permanent hair straightener that does not use heat and is natural?

Community Answer

No, there isn't. However, using natural masks for your hair like egg and olive oil will make it look healthy and shiny.

Question

How do I slick back my hair?

Shay Cagle

Community Answer

Brush your hair back starting at your forehead, and then all the way around. Then use a generous amount of gel to slick it back into place. Lastly, after the gel dries a bit, take a wood bristle brush ( or any short bristle brush), and lightly go over the brushed back hair. Smooth it down with your hands.

Question

How can I straighten my thick and curly hair at home?

Community Answer

Divide your hair into small sections and straighten it with a blow dryer. After that, redo it with a flattening iron and then apply hairspray to keep it straight. Long lasting tip: Try to let your hair completely dry before straightening it to prevent ruining your curls.

Question

My hair is rough and frizzy. How can I straighten my hair with shampoo and conditioner?

Community Answer

Get a deep conditioner and rub it throughout your hair. Leave it in for 5-6 minutes. Wash it out and dry your hair with a cotton t-shirt to reduce frizzing and make your hair straighter.

Question

How can I straighten my hair so that it is straight forever?

Community Answer

You can get chemical straightening done, which will permanently straighten the hair you already have. However, once it grows out, you will have to get it redone.

Question

Why did I lose my fringe three months after my hair was chemically straightened?

Community Answer

What do you mean by "lose" it? Did it fall out? If so, you may have suffered chemical damage to the roots in that area. It could also be that your hair grew out -- or perhaps you're styling it differently?

Question

My hair was naturally straight and now it’s frizzy and wavy. How do I regain my natural hair?

Community Answer

If you want to regain your natural hair (perhaps curly), then just braid your hair. Wear it like this overnight. In the morning, undo them and then comb and brush it through. An imitation of your natural should appear, a temporary fix.
