We have all had that annoying moment where you spend ages prepping your hair with stuff that claims to help keep hair straight, and if your like me, you wan the best to keep your hair Poker straight. I've had the trouble and I've had the nightmares and stresses over my tresses, and I have consulted my hair dresser countless times and so I now bring you these tips on how to keep your straightened hair in tip top condition.

My first piece of advice would be to invest in a good, top quality pair of straightening irons. I've used many different brands of straighteners, from Babyliss to Remington, but they usually leave my hair looking fluffy and it usually looks like a really half hearted job. Also, the Babyliss straighteners ruined my hair, giving it split ends and making it static beyond repair. However, I will always stay faithful to my GHD hair straighteners. They are possibly the best brand out there. They heat up in six seconds and they sail across your hair, leaving it very smooth and silky. So there is my first point: good straighteners.

Next, you will need a very good range of products that keep static hair and frizz at bay, and I would reccomend, for pre-treatment, Aussie Haircare's Miracle Moist shampoo and conditioner, which stops hair being dry, frizzy and static. Also, using their 3 Minute Miracle treatment conditioner helps when you use it once or twice a week. If you leave it on for 3 minutes your hair will be noticeably straighter and in better condition. Once you have washed your hair, put a serum, such as Frizz-Ease, on the hair and comb it through whilst still wet. This will reduce frizz and static.

Another tip for keeping the hair straight is to straighten it after blow drying it straight. If you leave hair to dry naturally and then try to straighten it, it's going to be fluffy and an absolute nightmare to straighten. Instead, spray on some heat defence spray and blow dry it in sections, not all at one. Pin your hair up and blow dry it in sections, holding a brush under the piece of hair and the dryer on top and pull it down. This is not only good for straightening, but it actually dries your hair way faster than just going at the whole head of hair like a mad woman!

Once you have done the drying, I suggest you pin all your hair up again and straighten it in sections. If your not lucky enough to own GHD's, leave your straighteners on for a while so they get really really hot. Use a straightening spray like Tigi Bedhead spray, which not only helps to keep the hair straight, but smells amazing. Brush the hair after straightening it and go careful. Don't just go crazy fast. Do it slowly. If you go too fast you will pull out the hairs and don't curve the straighteners, as hot irons will leave a kink in your hair which can sometimes take forever to straighten out. Once your done, use a fixing wax and smooth it over the layers of hair. Reach all the layers as you don't want the top layer to stay straight and the rest to go wavy and frizzy. Also, only use a little amount. I would say use even less than a pea sized amount, but be realistic. Don't get the tiniest little bit. Too much will make your hair look greasy, and too little will not even touch the hair. After this, spray a VERY light mist of hairspray around the head and then leave it.

Don't fiddle with your hair or brush it or stroke it or anything like that. This will kink it, make it look greasy and increase the amount of static. Also, don't touch it if you've just washed your hands as water and straight hair do not get on very well. If you are going to be going out in the rain or high wind, regardless of whether you have an umberella/hood, don't bother straightening it. Most weathers will purely just rape your hair and make you look like you just got dragged through a hedge backwards. If your going out in hot weather, get a heat defence spray that has UV protection in it to prevent humidity damage.

Straighten it with a flat iorn or a perm

before you straighten your hair you should try to get it as flat as possible. you should try tying it back in a low ponytail and then putting a lot of other hair ties on it. this will compress it so that it is mostly flat, but you have to leave the hair ties in for at least half an hour. the longer you leave it in, the flatter your hair will get, but it also gets mostly straight too. i do this sometimes when i want straight hair but i don't fell like straightining, because if you leave it in overnight, it is really straight in the morning and you don't have to do anything to it. just a suggestion.

well if your hair is naturally straight on top but like curls under or out at the bottom then you could try plaiting the bottom ends of your hair the night before then take them out the next morning and the ends are normally straight it works for me:) hope i helped :D

The correct way is to mix melted butter and vinegar with your shampoo & olive oil with the conditioner.

Leave the shampoo mix in hair for 5-10 minutes.

Leave the conditioner in for 10-15 then rinse each thoroughly.

Blow dry on the cool setting of your blow dryer, and comb hair gently.

When upon completion, straighten hair, spray with hair spray of your choice, and be ready for your day on the go.

What you do is Tye a bit of you hair up from the top and leave some hanging down. spray a little bit of hairspray on it make sure the can is approximately 30cm away from hair and then carry on but keep letting more down until its all straight . this Will take approximately 15 Min's.

Get a hair straightener. Once my fringe wouldn't stay straight and it was all gross and wavy so after a shower I hair blowed my hair or whatever you call it and it stayed straight for a while.

Well first, you should get shower and blow dry it. Getting a blow dryer that has ion makes the hair less frizzy.

After that, you could straighten it if it isn't as straight as you want it to be.

When your done styling, you should add a product for added frizz control. A great one I use is the Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine Styling Creme. Just add a dime size amount and it will help. (:

use a straightener with products beforehand to block your hair from heat damage. Use a cream afterwards to tame flyaways and keep it sleek and shiny

You can use a wide brush and if any hairs are sticking up you can use hairspray or water.

Can two people with nappy hair make a straight hair child?

It is possible. If both of the parents are heterozygous, they have a gene for straight hair in them, it just means that "nappy" hair is the dominant allele. Then the recessive alleles is straight hair, then there is a 1 in 4 chance of a baby with straight hair.
