My hair has BIG problems. Straightening tips?

Hi!

my hair is THICK! and to tame it, I straighten my hair with a kind of cheap straightner...Conair...but it stays for one day and then curls again and turns greasy.

So, next week I have dress rehearsals and shows for the musical and I would like to wear my hair down with my dress. I do not want to use ANY products, but would like to keep straight, non-greasy hair.

So what do I do to accomplish this hard task? :)

Thanks soo much

My hair has BIG problems. Straightening tips?

i have evil thick and poofy hair too thats hard to deal with. I used to use conair and it did a very bad job, so if you can, get a better straightener. I use a karmin titanium and its very good (i bought it for $60). The best straighteners are sedu, CHI, ghd, but these are expensive and you might not be able to get it before your rehearsal. Maybe one of your friends has a better one? Also, put it on high heat and use a heat protectant so that it stays straight and doesnt burn your hair. I know you dont want to use hair products, but they really help to make your hair stay lookng good and stops it from poofing out (if you have this problem). Also, to help with the greasy hair problem, put a little bit of baby powder in your hand and rub it in your hair. It sounds weird, but it really works and you cant see it. Good luck on your musical!! My school is doing Grease :)

oops one more thing. It will really help if you get your hair layered and thinned. I did this and it looks so much better when i straighten it and its also a lot easier to straighten.

My hair has BIG problems. Straightening tips?

to help with the greasyness add some lemon juice to your shampoo and your best off buying a better straightener in the future. i also dont like to use many products in my hair but you do need to buy a heat protectant spray sometime because your hair WILL get fried. i use treseme and it cost 4 dollars.

My hair has BIG problems. Straightening tips?

get a lot of layers to reduce the thickness or even side bangs. thats a hard task go to a beauty hair salon and ask for tips that what i did. it really helps.

My hair has BIG problems. Straightening tips?

I probably have thicker hair than you.

mine is AMAZINGLY thick

I takes hours to straighten at 240oc!

Which is very hot!

You need to get better straighteners

Get the highest you can.

Every girl has to spend on herself

Mine cost about 鎷?0

And they have lasted me

And another tip:

Use moose or hairspray

And when you just put that in straighten it.

Then brush it

Best wishes

My hair has BIG problems. Straightening tips?

i agree with Lianne, your hair will fry and you get split ends....i also use tresemme before i straighten my hair and from my experience its the best stuff to use. i use garnier fructis sleek and shine shampoo and conditioner (its the green bottle) , and i really think its the best for your hair. it really cleans it well, getting rid of all the oil, and it makes your hair shiny and frizz free, it also helps your hair stay straight longer....you should definetly get some.

My hair has BIG problems. Straightening tips?

Well, I definately advise that you invest in a quality straightener if you can afford it. I am a GHD girl and trust me, they are so worth the money. They are amazing, I have had mine for 4 yrs now and it is a total godsend. But if I have an occasion where I want my hair to straight with no fuss, I go to my salon for a blow dry and straighten. It lasts for ages and I wash my own hair before going in to save money, I have really long hair and they charge me like $20 and it lasts for like 5 days. Oh and tea tree shampoo is excellent for oily hair, it really balances it out without hurting your ends like other products can. Goodluck in your musical

Help.......Big lips?

Are lips glosses the best thing to wear for big lips??? I usually wear glosses in pinks because I was told it matches better with blond hair and blue eyes.

I would like to try some darker colours, can I ??? :)

Help.......Big lips?

Yeah lip gloss are better for people with very full lips. Pink is a very nice shade. You said you wanted to try darker shades? Well......it depends on how dark you want to go. you can try warm shades like in brown or reddish brown but not too dark though. Plum is also a nice shade or caramel, or chocolate. You can ask a cosmetologist this question when you go to buy your lip gloss. I hope you find the shades that suit you.Forget about those rude remarks from those guys and that girl (the pers閳?who said that you should stay away from lip gloss they have nothing on you. I wouldn't say you have big lips, I rather say you have very full lips. Don't be afraid to experiment just go for the ones you feel comfortable with, ok. Most of these little tarts will go and spend money to enhance their lips, while you honey have the real deal.

Just one thing don't over do it.Be cautious of the amount you add to your lips.

Help.......Big lips?

wow so dont wear lip glosses they make them BIGGER more like ENORMOUS!!!! lol

Help.......Big lips?

u could but pink does go with blond gurls...

Help.......Big lips?

sorry monkey chops i cant help you

Help.......Big lips?

lol you men are unbelievable

Help.......Big lips?

Yes, totally go for it, and try to ignore the fellatio related answers from men, I've got prominent lips too, and don't be afraid to experiment with reds, purples, and darker pinks. It can actually really enhance your lips and even make them appear smaller [if that's what you're going for]. Anyway, just go to your local super market and get some CoverGirl lipgloss in reds, or dark pinks. If you like the way it looks, you can try going into lipstick for a more concentrated color, happy hunting!

Help.......Big lips?

pink,nude,gold,lavendar...are all good. And don't worry about the syupid guys...big lips are beautiful. Flaunt them!

Help.......Big lips?

big lips are nice.

Help.......Big lips?

if you want your lips to look bigger then yes gloss is good, and pale pink would make them look bigger too, dark lip colour always looks bad (dark brown/purple etc) but if you mean like dark pinks and reds, yes this would look good, but it wont make your lips look bigger.

if they are very large naturally, gloss can look a bit over the top and it makes your lips look bloody massive and all out of proportion. stick with matt colours if your doing pale lip colour. you would look good in dark pinks and red (gloss or matt)because they draw attention to your nice big lips but dont make them look massive.

Help.......Big lips?

totally! a good idea would be to line your lips, just on inside of your lip line with a slightly darker liner. :)

Help.......Big lips?

whatever you do dont use lip plumper, your lips will look even bigger your lips are big? flaunt them!.

Help.......Big lips?

putting on gloss will cause attention to the area.u should wear lipchap .it'll look wayyyy better

Help.......Big lips?

Pout lip plumps are brilliant can get them in different colours aswell

Help.......Big lips?

Yes, I think darker is okay - but not all the time, just for a special look or occasion - I personally also have huge lips.. and I dont usually wear any color - just a gloss.. because when I do wear darker colors you can see my lips from a mile away! lol - but I do like the look.. if you are bold and confident enough, kudos to ya ! :)

Help.......Big lips?

I WISH I had fuller lips! Some people would kill to have lips like that. I can tell you what some of my friends will do: *

*Glosses are fine but stick to flesh toned or clear gloss. Anything to bright is just too outrageous.

*Creamy glosses are good too. Experiment with using a creamy liquid gloss (a neutral or low tone color) without using lipliner.

*As far as lipstick is concerned, you can wear dark colors but make sure the lipstick has a matte texture as opposed to a glossy texture.

Have fun!

Help.......Big lips?

hey big lips r cool!and beautyful!!!u lucky gurl!!!

dont use a lipgloss though try to wear darker reds and pinks in a lipstick which will make them appear smaller!

dont give a peanut what them idiots said!!!

BIG LIPS ARE FUNKY!!!!!!

:D

ps maybe try 1 frm covergirl or boots natural collection.

;)

Help.......Big lips?

I have big lips too and i wear lipstick cause lip gloss annoys me.

for daytime, i usually stick to light brown/neutral tones (NO PINKS!!)

Nighttime, it depends, something more red looks good for the OMG! she has gorgeous lips factor, or a slightly darker neutral shade. But then again i have blue eyes and brown hair, can't guarantee it would work on blonde hair. Why don't you 'borrow' some of your mates or mum's lipstick and try out a few different shades?

Help.......Big lips?

Yes, you can try other colors. I have an applicator stick you can use if you need one.

Help.......Big lips?

some girls would kill for big lip be proud use what you think looks best you will no if a colour is too dark

Help.......Big lips?

Yes go for it!! Think like Angelina Jolie and pout like you've never pouted before!!!! Big lips are fabulous! x

Help.......Big lips?

you need a creamy lipgloss that makes your lips salty...I mean shiny. Here, I have a rather large applicator here you can put it on with. Be gentle Thanks ;)

Help.......Big lips?

big lips eh??? come to papa!!!

Help.......Big lips?

Your lips are beneficial... ummm

If you washed your hair in the a.m., went outside with kids, & later to mall?

And, then you're supposed to go to a big dress up party at 7 that evening, do you rewash and fix your hair?, Brush, fix and respray your hair? Or just leave the wild mess?

If you washed your hair in the a.m., went outside with kids, %26amp; later to mall?

Just fix your hair, have fun at the party!

If you washed your hair in the a.m., went outside with kids, %26amp; later to mall?

just fix it. it shouldn't need to be rewashed.

If you washed your hair in the a.m., went outside with kids, %26amp; later to mall?

NO!

If you washed your hair in the a.m., went outside with kids, %26amp; later to mall?

fix ur hair then go 2 the party and have a BLAST!

If you washed your hair in the a.m., went outside with kids, %26amp; later to mall?

the wild mess is best

If you washed your hair in the a.m., went outside with kids, %26amp; later to mall?

Just brush, fix and respray. It will probably be easier to fix that way rather than rewash anyway.

Lemon juice in hair for lighter hair... question!?

My sister did this to me when I was 11 or something, she put lemon juice in my hair (straight from the lemon) and put it through my hair, she put a fair amount. She made me sit outside for 20 mins or something and I noticed a big difference, my hair got lighter.

Will this work now too? I don't want to ruin my hair... but since it's natural it can't be all that bad , can it? I just don't want to dye my hair since I like the tone and it's a very nice colour but I just want to lighten it a bit, make it look beachy and summery, as my hair usually gets lighter byt his time of year but because I'm in a new place this year it hasn't gotten lighter yet.

Good idea?

Lemon juice in hair for lighter hair... question!?

This will still work on your hair, and I don't think that it will damage your hair in any way either. Lemon juice is a natural cleanser for hair because it strips your hair of the impurities on the outside and lightens it up quite a bit. The exposure to the sun just speeds up the process of making your hair lighter.

Doing this may make your hair feel dry afterward, so be sure to use a good conditioner after the lemon juice treatment.

Lemon juice in hair for lighter hair... question!?

hair doesn't change color depending on the season...lemon juice is just an astringent that has a ph of 2.5 or so it can close a cuticle so as a rinse it works...truthfully it wasn't the lemon that lightened ur hair it was the sun

Lemon juice in hair for lighter hair... question!?

yes,i tink so

Lemon juice in hair for lighter hair... question!?

well what color is your hair? Im brunette and did this and my hair turned so red it looked orange. It also got very dry. Had to cut it. I would try alittle and only for a like 15-20 mins outside.

Lemon juice in hair for lighter hair... question!?

I did it too when I was younger with my friend,

Both are hair turned light blond and She was brunette and It turned her hair blond..

But when We told her grandma that's what we did she was telling us that the lemon juice is really strong and acidic and can really dry and fry your hair...

You Might also want to consider "Sun in" Or " A touch of Sun"

Both are lightening sprays you can buy at walgreens or wherever..

Hair Question! Plz help thanks!?

I want to get this haircut, but I'm afraid that it won't suit me. I'm not just 'trying to fit in' or 'be emo' or 'scene'. No-one else that I know likes the clothes and hairstyles etc that I like. I guess because I live in Portugal, and that type of stuff isn't big here. I'm being myself, not punk or goth or emo or whatever, thanks. I love this hairstyle. Anyway, I know that loads of people hate this hairstyle, but don't say that, cuz that's not what I want to know... I want to know if the haircut would look okay on me? Thanks!

My hair falling out... im 22!!!?

hello everyone, another question for you all,my hair is falling out. i used to have really thick curly hair, everytime i wash it or even put my fingers through it, it keeps coming out! i had bath tonight,%26amp;a whole hand full has come out(like a big ball of hair) i can see the root balls on the end of my hair,so i know its not breaking off. my father who passed away 6 years ago now(god rest his soul)had alopecia a year before he died at 39. he lost all his hair from stress. im not sure wether this can be genetic?? but i am really worried,will go doctors tomorrow,get blood tests done but if it is falling out is there much they can do about it as nothing stopped my dad's from falling out. im only 22 have been worrying alot over the summer and recently have been stressed and lost alot of weight. if anyone can give me advice on this one it would be much appriciated

thank you

My hair falling out... im 22!!!?

To avoid hair loss and have good healthy hair, a good nutritional diet is needed. This diet needs to be rich in organic whole foods such as fruit, vegetables, whole grains, poultry, fish, eggs, beans, nuts and seeds which are a rich

In recent times, hair loss has become a common condition, especially among men although, the exact cause of hair loss is still a mystery. Some research studies have linked hair loss with the lack of iron, the condition of the skin on the scalp, an excess of the hormone DHT and probably an under active thyroid gland.

The hair, although it is thought of as dead, is a good indicator of general health and it is the first indicator that shows signs of ill health or lack of essential vitamins and minerals within the body. Oily hair can be a sign of vitamin B deficiency, brittle or dry hair can be an indicator of essential fats deficiency, dull hair color and poor growth can be signs of zinc deficiency and hair loss can be an indicator of lack of vitamin C, vitamin B1, iron and lysine

source of vital nutrients needed for healthy hair roots and the protein keratin. Try not to skip meals, reduce salt, sugar, tea, coffee and chocolate intake, avoid stress, comb your hair gently and avoid using strong chemicals on your hair such as perms and color treatments. Vegetarians are prone to hair loss because their diet generally lacks the important nutrients, vitamin B12, iron and lysine. Vegetarians need to be aware of this and supplement their diet.

The following supplements may help if you are suffering from hair loss.

B complex

Evening primrose oil

Fish oil

Kelp

Lysine

Multivitamins and multiminerals

Vitamin c

I hope it helps you, it can be hormonal related problem too. Progesterone cream its very good too.

My hair falling out... im 22!!!?

Go and see the GP and see what he/she ays. If it is true alopecia then you ant do anything to stop the hair falling out. Usually it does grow back though xx

My hair falling out... im 22!!!?

Stress is the main cause, also having low iron ie: anemia can cause it. I lost alot of hair, it thinned right out due to having very low iron levels in my blood. Doctor should rule out alopecia, Even if you think you aren't stressed, your body has strange ways of dealing and showing it! Good luck, I'm sure it's nothing serious.

My hair falling out... im 22!!!?

Stress???

My hair falling out... im 22!!!?

After my mom passed over I started losing a lot of hair. Then again when I was living in a really stressful situation, it happened again. So, nerves %26amp; emotions can play a part in hair loss. I went to my dermatologist who prescribed a thin, clear lotion to apply. It really helped. If you lost a lot of weight you may not have been getting enough nutrients for your hair. Call %26amp; ask your general physician first and see what he/she suggests. There are hair nutrients you can buy at the health food store, too. I know it's hard to do, but try to stay calm.

My hair falling out... im 22!!!?

Although it is probably the hardest thing to do, you need to stop worrying about it. Make an appointment to see your GP and s/he will recommend a course of action one of which may be to refer you to a trichologist (hair specialist). In the meanwhile, practise everything you know about stress-reduction techniques and eat properly taking in plenty of B vitamins; brewer's yeast (powder form from your local health store) sprinkled on your cereals or mixed with some fruit juice will help.

The same thing happened to my mum and she read up on building up her diet to prevent further loss and promote growth. If you can order this book through your library or get a copy of it otherwise, I'd recommend the section on how to tackle the problem.

My hair falling out... im 22!!!?

Are you eating a sensible diet? Are you eating enough?

If the answer to these questions is yes, then i would say its stress related.

Take up yoga, it works wonders for stress!

My hair falling out... im 22!!!?

it sounds like it could be stress making your hair fall out,and the more you stress over it the worse it will become,my hair falls out loads ,i used to worry all the time and ended up with a small bald patch,my doctor told me the more i stressed would in turn make more hair fall out,mine still falls out now and then but i tend not to worry about it too much and it does seem to help,but if aloppecia runs in the family then it is good you are getting tested,but for now try not to stress/worry ovewr it as it is a vicious cirle.

My hair falling out... im 22!!!?

I am pleased you are going to see the doctor. You do sound stressed out somehow, that causes hair loss.

What's your skin color? I think it just helps when you color your hair something that makes your skin looked warmed up, instead of washed out.

That's why they have the coloring guides though on hair dyes. As in cool and warm.

Hair color, HELP.?

Well it depends on your skin tone and eye color.

If your eyes are light and your skin is fair or olive colored for example, try a dark brown

Or if you have medium-tan skin and dark eyes you could try light brown or even black (black hair looks great with light or dark eyes)

hope this helped!

Hair color, HELP.?

Your hair is turning a sandy blonde because if you've been in the sun it lightens the dye color in your hair. That is what happens to pretty much any color that you dye your hair.

Black=Dark brown

Dark brown=Lighter brown

Red=Auburn

Blonde=Light/Sandy Blonde

So many times after awhile you just have to re-visit your hair dresser and have her dye your hair a darker Blonde over the sandy Blonde highlights. This will give your hair the Blondie effect again that your looking for. You should go back every few months to have this process re-done because unfortunately the sun lightens are hair: Natural or colored.

If your not looking to stay blonde you could add light brown high lights, which will no longer give you that blonde look b/c the brown will instantly darken your hair. You could also add a little auburn in, or even dye your hair a honey comb brown. A gorgeous color that is dirty blonde: It gives almost a blonde and brown effect.
