Okay, I've tried everything to get my hair straight. I got a perm last October, and it's still curly, I've tried so many creams, sprays, and styling tips to get it to straighten and STAY straigtened. Can anyone with this experience help me?

Curly hair is in. Be proud of who you are.

My Girlfriend swears by GHD (good hair day) ceramic hair straighteners, and she's got very curly hair. They are the one's the hairdressers use. (Apparently). I'm no expert however, I'm bald. http://www.ghd.uk.com/Cats/GHD.html

I truly sympathise with you. I have naturally curly hair and I have also tried everything to make it straight-to no avail. So now I've given up and have come to terms with the fact that I have CURLY HAIR. You will just have to wait until your perm grows out - but if in the meantime you do find a solution to the curls, please let me know. Good luck!

You will have to blow out the curl until the perm grows out. Do not try to chemically straighten the perm or you will fry your hair. Start with a good shampoo and conditioner, specifically formulated for straightening hair. Then apply a straightening cream or balm, combing it through. I like to apply a silicone based shine serum next, to smooth the cuticle, but this isn't necessary. Section your hair into 4 sections (two in front, two in back), clipping each one so it's out of the way. Take 1/2 inch sections of hair, starting in the back and around the hairline (where hair is curliest), blow your hair straight using a paddle brush to smooth and a round brush to finish and give a little bend to the ends. Once you've blown your hair dry, use a flat iron on 1/4 to 1/2 inch sections to smooth down the cuticle and enhance shine. Finish by appling shine serum or shine spray. Your blow out should last at least 2 days. Over heat-styling permed hair will make it brittle and frizzy.

You have to wait till the perm completly grows out, thats the only way you will get your normal hair back, but in the mean time. Start with a line of shampoo and go to products maid for smoothing your hair, blow dry with a flat brush, then use a really good straightener.

You want to get a ceramic flat iron and get some f the Olive Oil products - they are AMAZING! And JAM has a product for straightening your hair, when you apply heat it makes it smooth and shiny. You have to use heat, don't put another chemical in your hair yet. Worst case scenario, you may need to use a mild relaxer to straighten out the curl. If you do have to go that route, make sure you keep your hair well oiled - the chemicals can dry out your hair, making it break.
