How do you straighten your hair effectively in the shortest amount of time?

i have really thick hair and it takes forever to straighten, i was wondering if there is a quicker/more effective way that i dont know about. i am using a paul mitchell (my chi wont turn on). any tips?

Answer #1

just dont burn it… i tried when i used to have bieber flow like 3 yrs ago and it hurt alottt!!!

Answer #2

If you’re not doing it already, you can try to pin up parts of your hair, so it’s thinner and faster to straighten. Or if your in a hurry you could try just straightening the top layer of hair. :)

Answer #3

You should shower then blow dry your hair straight down, this can take up to 10-15mins but then section your hair and straighten it like you normally would. It works for me and i usually have really curly hair and at most it takes 30mins

Answer #4

Well, whenever i take a shower && my hair is wet whenever im trynna hurry & just get out the door, all i do is blow dry my hair. But while drying it i brush it like how you would normally brush your hair, by the time ur hair is dry, and uve brushed it by blow drying, ur hair wud be decently straight, but then after that just to get the perfect touch all u wud hav to do is go trough ur hair wuth the hair straightner, && ur hair wuld be done by maybe 10-15 mins. Hope this helped!! :)

Answer #5

ive heard that if you put your head down so your hair is in front of your face an straighten it like that, then it will be alot quicker. Or maybe you could go to a hair salon and have your hair thinned out, then it would be alot quicker to straighten your hair :)

Answer #6

only straighten the wavy parts this will mabye help leave the not so wavy parts left and straighten them x

Answer #7

I have a straighten that straightens hair when wet. It was by far the best investment I ever made, it saves me loads of time. Its called a wet2straight straightener and it turns the water in your hair to steam, but instead of keeping it by the hair to burn it, it allows it to ventilate out of holes in the top which makes your hair very smooth and straight! Hope this helps :)

Answer #8

my sister had something like that, and it worked great, but if i used it a couple days in a row (yes showering before each time) my hair would get really like dry/burnt feeling.

Answer #9

my hair gets REALLY poofy when i blow dry it, like to the point that even if i take a lot of time straightening it after it still looks really thick :/

Answer #10

is there anything i could put in my hair before/during blow drying it so it wouldnt get poofy/frizzy, or even so it would dry straight?

Answer #11

The one I have has settings and you can use the medium one on wet hair too and it works great for my sister who had a similar problem. Also, there is stuff you can spray in your hair before you straighten it that will help, I use Frizz-Ease Heat Defeat Protective styling spray. It not only helped with damage, but it also made my hair really soft, smooth, and it smelled great! Heres a link for more information on that: [link removed]

I hope this helps, straightening hair can be a pain if it damages your hair, or takes too long.

Answer #12
