[sunissed14127]

how can you straighten your hair without a hair straightener? my straightener blew up which made me very sad....and now my hair is all poofy and wavy again....and i'm broke right now so i cant go buy a new one at the moment...tips please!?

[jambaJUICE]

you can buy some haircare stuff, and then blowdry and brush your hair with the rollie kind of brush, and yeah you know.

Lol. hard to explain, i wish i could help more, but i dont know how to explain it, since i cant do that with my hair ><

[ThePrincessofTKD]

hmm..that`s a tough one. get straightening shampoo?

btw, you need to update your sig. the elections are over.

[sunissed14127]

[milky_yumm]

[MeWooHoo]

i say get a new straitener

[xbladeoffire90x]

just stay poofy/wavy haired until you save up for a new one and go around asking people if they like your new look ^.^

[nlgrl]

well... right after u get out the shower u could brush ur hair straight them take the towl and dry it out straight... u get me? lol

[JessJR1022]

use a regular iron with a towel against ur hand.... that's what I do.... gets ur hair stick stick straight.. a lot better than a straighter, also brush it while you are blow drying it.... with one of those thermal brushes that helps too

oh yeah... make sure the iron is a on a lower setting so you don't fry ur hair

[ryfitaDF]

i just put it in a ponytail really tight while it dries. it's straight near my scalp and gets wawy near the bottom, though. try it if you like.

[happygoluckyng]

my friend used a clothes iron.....rofl

[lojay]

Umm I put Chi Oil in my hair and then blow dry it with one of those styling brushes (the round ones) It takes like 10 min on a good day for me.... and people always ask me if i straigten my hair and always I say no.. so I guess it works jsut as good as a straightener.

[emrzz09]

blowdry it straight or use straightening serum.

[gnawxela]

um...wash it and blow dry it straight? i dunno, i have naturally straight hair

[xj_liana_tx]

my hair s weird, sometimes its straight sometimes its not. i tried to blow dry it but i can't get it rite.. well if u get straightenin shampoo and stuff i think it ll be easier to just get a another straightener.

[x_oPw3ciousPRicA...]

yeah.. some ppl o know do that.. but i serz dont recomend it....

[lilliannnn]

yeah yeah .. use a clothes iron with the "cotton" setting .. if its a steam iron don't put water in it and yur good to go. it's really hard to do it your self so i reccommend a friend doing it for you this way

* put a towel on the floor
* lay down on the floor with your head on the towel (facing the ceiling) and spread your hair out
* have your friend iron the front side of your hair while brushing it out
* turn your head to the right, and repeat above
* turn your head so your face is on the towel, and repeat above
* turn your head left, and repeatabove

thats about .. it's not really good for your hair so don't do it too often.

[sunissed14127]

^ i dont think i'm brave enough to do the iron thing....i would prolly burn my ear off with my luck lol
But i still dont know what chi oil is..i really wanna kno cuz i might go get some

[goofipinay]

i dunno...i like my hair when its wet..cuz its straight..lol but when its dry my hair's wavy

[sandy_lumpy_shor...]

even if you are broke, have your mom buy you a new one

[sunissed14127]

^i'm going 2 buy a one soon,i just wanna know sometings i can do until i get a new one to keep my hair straight.

[mzweirdo]

well... right after u get out the shower u could brush ur hair straight them take the towl and dry it out straight... u get me? lol

yea yea yea..do that! that's what i do or either that i just comb it sraight till it's straight and dry...but then it gets frizzy soo yea..

[EXPLO5ION]

i use 2 have straight hair. then i got mine hi lighted and layered. now it naturally culrs at the end. but what i do is that when my hair is still damp, i just comb it like 5 times everywhere and then towel it

pretty much what nlgrl wrote

[mai_z]

get fructis smoothing milk or john frieda wind-down, and then use it to blowdry with...

[s0pnayish]

I have a friend that used an actual iron to straighten her hair

[designergurlxx]

after u wash ur hair...straighten it wit ur hand...it helps...
othawise buy those straigtenin cream...mi friend has it...itz pretti good'
'a faster way...go get ur hair straightened permanentli...solve all ur problems'

[short_Stuff516]

what i do is blowdry my hair straight then straighten it with a straightener, but i have thick curly hair so i HAVE to do both. if you have normal hair then just blowdry it straight. or put gel in it and scrunch it. go 'oh natural'.

[azngrl7691]

my friend used a clothes iron.....rofl

lol that really weird.. did it work? just in case.. u kno

[emptyminded]

I guess I should go with the crowd and say wet your hair or whatevers... and brush your hair then put on some product to make sure it stays flat.

[pozer13]

wen u get out of the shower...blowdry it straight
or HOT OIL TREAT ur hair...it makez it reallie soft if u use it once a week 4 a couple of monthz... but yea....i do that...plus there iz this straightner called WAVERIDER..which they sell 4 about fifteen buckz....

i am gonna get one soon....

mm, if you're the kind of person who straightens their hair everyday, i'd recommend a straight perm. the only down is that you can't wash your hair for 3 days, but it's well worth it. i did it and i love it. you can do whatever you want with your hair and then after you wash it, it's all straight again. 3 days isnt really long, at least you didnt have to do it in china where it's freaking hot and you sweat everday, literally.

its also expensive too. but its worth it. as long as you don't chop your hair off anytime soon.

[xolilsmileeox]

hmmm...blowdry it i guess. ionno thats a toughy

[misoshiru]

you can blow dry it straight. take a brush, and sort of curl your ends inside, and blow dry your hair. or you could flip your hair over and blow dry it that way, and it turns out straight.

pozer13 - i dont get it, why did you attach an image in your post?

[angeloncloud9]

Blow it out with a paddle brush and blowdryer. That's what I do everyday.

[x3chrissyx3]

Use Garnier Fructis Smoothing Milk and the Go Straight Brush from Conair, it's really good.

Apply smoothing milk, lean your head to the right or left, whichever is more comfortable and brush all the hair in the direction your head is tilted, turn on your blow dry and use the go straight brush to straighten it all out. THEN, brush your hair, and straighten a little more if you want and make sure everything is dry, the brush again and then hang your head down, and blow dry your hair pointing up, Brush again and Viola!
