Flat iron and thick hair?

hi, please explain to me how to get the best results in using a flat iron. my hair is past my shoulders, and extremely thick. it also has a spiral perm in it. I love the flat look but when i tried it my hair just came out frizzy. why?

Use an ionic flat iron. It will not curl back easly.



Solia makes a Tourmaline Ceramic Ionic Flat Iron.



According to the Solia flat iron website, "tourmaline,



a precious stone, is used to generate up to 6 times more



negative ions than traditional ceramic irons".

Use hair repair mask on regular basis and do not overuse iron.Try big hair rollers instead iron.

Make sure you are using the right products- I straighten my hair almost every day and I use leave in conditioner first (it's a spray that is also a hear protector) then a bit of heat protecting cream, plus anything else I need, like a volumizing cream.



I do that when my hair is wet, then blowdry with a round brush without a diffuser, then straighten section by section when my hair is completely dry. If your hair is frizzy you also might need to put something else on your hair when you're done, like an anti frizz cream or serum.

No problem at all you have to use a hair serum. A nice polish and then a sraightner. You will look absolutely beautiful using this. Try it. It will work. Good Luck. And make sure your hair is clean and blow dry is straight before using okay. HAve Fun

Buy the most expensive flat iron you can; the more you pay for it, the better the iron. And only 'iron' a small amount of hair at a time.



If your hair is really thick and this takes a long time, you may do better with a perm.

Yeah what these girls are saying are true, use the anti-serum and and the round brush, and than by using a flat iron after the blow drying, it will totoally not look like real thick hair, but beautifully shiny straight commerically hair. :) for real.. i dont heat my hair but maybe once a week if that, so I dont do the leave in stuff, but if you plan on it, for sure protect the hair.

I have really thick curly hair also this works really well for me. Use a smoothing serum after taking a shower, put throughout all of your hair. Then blow dry your hair with a round brush. You should use a spray of some sort that can protect your hair from the heat(ion anti-frizz solution works great!) then seperate your hair it helps a lot when trying to get your hair really straight. I really hope this helps!!

Apply a frizz reducing product (there are a TON) to wet hair. If may take a while to find the right frizz-free product... I would check with my stylist to see what brand they would recommend.



Use a round brush and hair dryer to dry the hair. Keep the air flow of the dryer angled from root towards end. Dry in the direction of the hair shaft.



Once dry let hair cool and heat up hair straightener (I recommend using an FHI brand straightner). It is helpful at this point to spray on a heat protectant (Kenra -Platinum Line- Heat and Protect is AMAZING). Section hair again. Straighten from root to end keeping straightener moving through hair at a constant rate. Do not let the straightener sit in one place for too long or it will create kinks. When you're finished straightening apply hairspray or other hair products as you normally would.

a cheap flat iron will leave it looking frizzy. use a chi. they cast about $100 but are well worth it!
