thanks guys, any advice you haveHow do you straighten your hair?
Just like put it on yur hair a slide it down!?!? haha, and use a heat proctive spray,, and it doesnt matter what shammpoo u use!How do you straighten your hair?
What I do (I have thin, really curly hair, so I'm not sure how much this will help) is put up all of my hair in a really loose bun. Then, as pieces fall out of their own accord, I straighten them. When they stop falling, I start to pull. When I judge it to be as straight as it's going to get, I put it down, and flip all of the hair to one side.

From there, I straighten the wavy parts that I can see. Then I brush it back and part it a little bit to the side of where I started. And straighten.

Then, I repeat at least 5 or 6 times until I've reached the other side of my hair.

Then I arrange it how I'll wear it to school, and see if any wavy bits are showing.

And that's how I do it. =]]
when you use a straightener, you should take a lock of hair and put the starightener to the roots and pull down. do this several times on the same lock of hair. if you dont put it to the scalp, it will leave indented marks on your hair which is really unattractive. good luck!
It doesn't at all matter what kind of shampoo/conditioner you use. Just start from the top of your hair and extend to the ends of your hair. But don't hold it on one spot of your hair for too long. Never just leave it in one place. Slowly straighten your hair but don't pause and hold it in one spot...otherwise you will get a weird looking crease in your hair...but if you do it's ok it will come out with water or just re straighten it and it will come out.
but all of your hair and turn upside down and put it so all of your hair is tied up in a ponytail on the TOP of your head not a ponytail but just so its sitting ontop or your hair. bring down a section and straightnen it going slow. after your done with the section make a low ponytail of that section so it doesnt get mixed up with the rest of your hair. do the same for the rest of your hair and always add the section to the low ponytail.
Put half of your hair up in a bun and straighten the bottom layer. After that is all straight, let the top layer down and straighten that. To check if the back is all straight, use a separate mirror to look at the back of your hair in your bathroom mirror. Straighten any pieces that you missed.

It might help to use Garnier Sleek %26amp; Shine before you straighten it. It will make it a lot smoother and shiner and take away the frizzies. Dont put too much in your hair though or it will look greasy.

no it dosent matter which conditioner u use as long as u use 1.part it into little sections,then starting at the roots gently run the iron through for as long as it takes for it to get straight.reapeat and do this in layers
Go to youtube and watch some flat ironing tutorials. Watch as many as you can and read the comments for each video. Any knucklehead can put a ';tutorial'; on youtube and give bad info. You want to know how to do it properly and not do massive damage to your hair, and that's achieved by watching lots of videos.
Pin straight or just straight? If you want pin straight you just do it a little bit different so I will explain them both ways... First off, you might want a haircut that has layers. If you don't already. If not then that is fine, it's not required or anything. Turn on your flat iron and allow it to heat up. The temp will depend on your hair type, if you have thinner hair you probably won't wanna go to high but if your hair is thicker it is okay to go a bit higher, it's all experimentation. While it does that, spray a heat protector. I can not stress this anymore lol! You don't wanna burn your hair! Then section off your hair, the way you do doesn't really matter. I have really choppy shot cut layered hair so I take the top layer and clip it to the top of my head along with the middle one. (Don't have layers? Just to pony tails, part your hair in half and then in quarters so you have four section and hold each with an elastic or a clip and do it one at a time! ;) ) Your flat iron should be hot by now, if not just be patient. If you don't have one of those fancy-schmancy ones that beep when they are through get your fingers wet and flick a teeny tiny bit of water on the plates if you hear a sizzle, it's hot. Then take a small section of the bottom layer or pick a section and hold it out (if you want you can use a come as well, I just use my hands though.) clamp the flat iron down at where your hair meets your head (not so close you urn it though, that hurts so bad!) and then gently pull it down. (Note: for pin straight hair, just barely turn your wrist away from you. Just barely and then it will be seriously straight!) Then you just do the rest, after you finish a section or piece comb it out. When you are through style however you want and you are good to go with straight hair~!

As for shampoo, it does not really matter but you want one that works well your hair and leaves it nice after you use it! :)
