My hair is really thick and slightly wavy, depending on how I dry it. I really don't like the uhh..volume-nized look on me because it looks really funky on me. Plus, I have a weird shaped and small sized head. (haha)
The point is: I'm trying to persuade my mom to let me buy myself a hair straightener (either the Chi or the Sedu). However, she thinks it's going to damage my hair in the long run and might cause balding since a straightener pulls on your hair -_-. Well, I've done some research on both of the straighteners. Since these straighteners are supposedly higher quality than the ones you get at the drug stores, your hair should come out smoother and silky, I think. And the plates shouldn't really pull on your hair, but uh.."glides" through it. In the long run, there's usually no sign of damage, right? (and using a heat protector spray and an after-conditioner should prevent damage). Unfortunately, she's not buying it. Any arguments that would convince her? and any comments on these straighteners for those who've used them before? Please &&thank you.  //edit I'm using my own money, btw. It's just that I need to get my parents' consent before buying anything. I'm 17 and I have barely any freedom. |

QUOTE(ersatz @ Nov 22 2007, 05:50 PM)  It is short. It's just thick and curly. I'm gonna bet it's thicker than yours. How do you not blow-dry your hair in the morning if it takes 3 hours to dry? Well I usually don't shower right before I head off to school. I shower the night before, but when I'm pulling all nighters or staying up late until maybe 5 am studying for something (I'm known for cramming, lol) , sometimes I shower twice. Once in the evening and then around 5-ish. My hair's mostly dry by 8. My classes start at 9. So it's all good. I let it air dry. Plus, I hardly straighten my hair anymore. I only do it when I go out in order to make it really straight. I'm just too lazy.  Since I am the kind of person who just rolls out of bed, changes, brushes teeth/washes face, and that's it. :D
