Q&A for How to Straighten Men's Hair

After shampooing and conditioning, use a blow dryer with a directional nozzle. Work with small sections of hair so they lay flat and straight.

Like other chemical services, this will depend on the length of your hair and the experience of your stylist. Usually, Keratin treatments cost between $200 and $450.

Professional straightening prices depend on both the stylist and the length of your hair. Usually, the service runs between $80 and $200. You will get the most accurate answer by booking a consultation.

You should use a small flat iron that has 1/2 inch plates. Try to opt for one that is made of ceramic or tourmaline, as they are supposed to be less damaging to hair.

To permanently straighten your hair, you would need to get a relaxer or a chemical treatment such as a keratin. You would have to get touch-ups every few months to straighten any new growth that you may have.

Yes! Always use a heat protectant spray, and only straighten when the hair is dry. Also, try to use a lower temperature. It is better to go over the same strand of hair twice at a low temperature than going over it once at a very high temperature.

Your hair won't be any straighter when it grows back.

Not permanently, but for a good while. You can wash it like 3-4 days with keratin shampoo to help it last even longer.

I'm a man growing out my hair and mine is 6 inches, I still find it difficult but possible. A bare minimum I would say is 4 inches give or take.

Not if your hair is naturally wavy or curly. Shampooing and conditioning don't change the curliness of your hair. Try the methods in the article.

No! They will remain straight until the new strand of hair starts to grow from the root.

Try using a spray on your hair to hold it in place, then if you want it to look natural, you can brush it out and your hair should stay.

Use a good conditioner each day and blow your hair straight or use a straightener.

It is not necessarily healthy for the hair, due to the chemicals, but it does not cause as much damage as an iron.

It should be all natural honey and milk to get a better result. A store-bought shampoo could contain additives that do the opposite of your intention.

Get a mustache wax with a good hold rate. If your mustache is thick, you will want to get medium or extra hold.

A flat iron shouldn't cost too much. Many stores sell flat irons ranging from $10-30 that work efficiently. Make sure not to get your hair wet after straightening it or it will return to its original state. You should also make sure not to straighten your hair every day. Doing so will severely damage your hair.

Use a flat iron; these aren't just for girls to use. Also, try using conditioners and oils, these help the hair get moisture leaving it soft and silky.

Use a conditioner each time you wash your hair to soften it.

There shouldn't be, but you may experience some itching or dryness on your scalp in some cases.

Hair wax is a styling product, just like pomade or hair gel. The only difference is that it makes your hair feel slightly greasy, rather than sticky or crunchy.

4-5 inches is good.

You can have a Brazilian keratin treatment done in order to have straight and soft hair. This will be pricey, though and will likely damage your hair. You can also condition your hair, and then use a flat iron to straighten your hair. Since your hair is thick, you can use hair clips to straighten your hair in segments, which will make the process much easier.

Conditioner and shampoo don't make your hair straight. I would recommend washing your hair with conditioner and shampoo once a day, unless you want really oily hair.

If you're using the flat iron method, (if you have at least 1 inch long hair), split your hair into 2-4 sections, heat your flat iron (300-360 is preferred), then brush your hair out and start flat ironing. For a longer hold, brush your hair while flat ironing and use hairspray when complete.

Don't brush or wash it before straightening it. Don't apply product to your hair either. You can still use a heat protectant.

You can't exactly thin your hair. If your hair is thick, that's how it is. The only way you can kind of thin your hair is getting layers.
