Need help w/ a curling comb/ straightening comb?
I bought one of those Conair hot combs that can be used to curl or straighten hair. In the book it says to straight natural waves, pull hair taunt and go over until they go away. My hair, however, is too short to pull taunt while I pass the hot comb through it.
I tried it right away when I got it, had absolutely no effect. Im going to go take a shower and try it after that, but I have a few questions...
1) Do I let my hair dry completely before using it? Or does the heat work best while wet or damp?
2) Should I use the straightener AFTER I put hair gel in? I figure once I straighten it, I cant glob hair gel in and mess it up or itll go wavy again, so I donno what to do about that.
3) Do you think this will work? Lol.. be honest. Im having my doubts already.
Thanks all
Natural.. not a good idea. Im a guy.. and my wavy hair looks so effing stupid.. I feel like an idiot since the rest of my hair is straight, and the top is wavy..
I use a hair straightener all the time...you do have to have at least 3" of hair to use it properly according to my directions.
But to answer your questions:
1) The best thing to do is to always start with a nice clean head of hair. Towel dry as much as possible. Then wait about 10 minutes after that to start the process. The heat will get the rest of the moisture out of your hair...so do not worry about it being a little damp.
2) NEVER use your straightener with hair gel...you WILL mess it up totally (just ask a hair dresser!!) There is a spray that you can use on your hair so it does not damage your hair. I have never used it personally, but I hear it will help with people that have more stubborn curly hair and make it straight for a little while longer.
3) It should work as long as your hair is at least 3" in length. I would not recommend pulling it taut...just use the thing like a brush, but go very slowly so that the hair will dry as you pull it along.
Good luck with this...if at first you do not succeed...go to a hair stylist...LOL!!
