Controlling split ends..i think its from straightening my hair? can you help me?

I've been straighening my hair for a long time now and i get split ends. what can i do to stop that?



Controlling split ends..i think its from straightening my hair? can you help me?

The answer may come as a shock, but trimming regularly (approximately 6-8 weeks between cuts) is a must for straight hair. Going to a salon to ask for an inch or half an inch off isn't as drastic as cutting a lot off in the end if you do not cut the split ends. And also, your hair will be a lot more manageable once you cut off the split ends.



Do you ever notice that your hair is a lot more able to curl or style after you cut the split ends? That's because the follicles in your hair at the ends are dead and they cannot be styled because the hair is no longer at its vibrancy.



A way to prevent split ends is to do the following:



1. Don't use hot products, like a blow-dryer or flat iron. It causes the hair to break and snap, causing split ends.



2. Don't brush a lot, as the friction causes split ends to appear, and makes your hair frizzy without all of the broken ends.



3. Trim your hair regularly at a salon you trust; get the split ends trimmed off, depending on how much, in 1 inch or less. You will notice a severe difference afterwards with silky hair that is manageable.



4. Stop straightening your hair. Or just do it once a week.



Know this: There is NO way to prevent split ends, but there IS a way to make them less manageable.



Try deep conditioning your hair once a week to manage the appearance of split ends inbetween cuts, but know that it will not cause them to go away without trimming.



Hope this helps. :)

TRIM!



Trim your hair regularly and brush it softly and carefully!



Everyone gets split ends, but make sure you trim atleast every month!



And use a ceramic straightener if you don't already.



Also, when you shower, condition the ends of your hair, and never your scalp. Your scalp is the part that gets all the natural conditioning oils of your hair anyway and the ends are the ones who need attention!

WHy is everyone says blacks want to be white by straightening their hair? Or dying it blonde?

I have seen blonde hair aboriginals in AUstralia that were natural. Black albinos have blonde hair. Hey racists- Asian people have straight hair. So do Indians which are the ancestors of many blacks. Just a question/thought. I just have heard that everywhere and It is annoying



WHy is everyone says blacks want to be white by straightening their hair? Or dying it blonde?

i know it's annoying my hair is always straight but whites always be like do you straighten your hair everyday i mean you don't have to ask so much it's just hair



WHy is everyone says blacks want to be white by straightening their hair? Or dying it blonde?

no ....Whites copy blacks 100 times more



WHy is everyone says blacks want to be white by straightening their hair? Or dying it blonde?

its fine if they are born that way, but changing it yourself is a different story. Its a fact that people do it for that reason in certain countries. look it up.



WHy is everyone says blacks want to be white by straightening their hair? Or dying it blonde?

whoever you heard say that is full of it!!



Why worry about stuff like that?



It takes your focus off Jesus.



WHy is everyone says blacks want to be white by straightening their hair? Or dying it blonde?

I can tell you are very intelligent by the way I don't understand your question. It seems senseless to me, it is going right over my head. I am in awe of your genius.



WHy is everyone says blacks want to be white by straightening their hair? Or dying it blonde?

look at micheal jackson.... i prefer go with the natural way i hate plastic people....... like copy cats



WHy is everyone says blacks want to be white by straightening their hair? Or dying it blonde?

everybody says this?..so that includes you too...right?



WHy is everyone says blacks want to be white by straightening their hair? Or dying it blonde?

well pretty much there is only black and white. You are either dark or light skin. Asians, anglos, hispanics, all are white, black black and black people are all black. SO when a black person tries to straighten thier hair, you could take it as trying to have the hair of any of the whites, which are asians, hispanics, anglos, Also painting it blond would be the same idea. But who cares people have the right to do whateer they want to thier hair. No one should judge. Alot of whites are getting corn rolls and its kinda stupid, look at the idiot Justin Timberlake or the gay on from backstreet boys, they try to be all black, and everyone judges them too. People will always talk even though they shouldnt. They like to keep people where they are suppose to be and its wrong.



WHy is everyone says blacks want to be white by straightening their hair? Or dying it blonde?

can you answer why white woman wants to perm their hair have it curly....why the inject solutions in their lips why the spend ours on the beach or the tan camara to be darker ..........and we black people are not saying any word



WHy is everyone says blacks want to be white by straightening their hair? Or dying it blonde?

I am afraid that idea came from African Americans themselves. In the 40's, 50's the black artists started conching or straightening their hair to look like the white singers and to give themselves more of a crossover appeal to the white audience. There were a lot of groups that took offense to the idea because they felt that we should not want to emulate someone that oppresses us. I personally dont have self hatred. i just want to be able to manage my hair better, and everyone does not have the right shaped head for the braided look.



WHy is everyone says blacks want to be white by straightening their hair? Or dying it blonde?

Does everyone say that?? And you've heard it everywhere?? Gee. I musta missed something. And as long as I've been alive? God Bless you.



WHy is everyone says blacks want to be white by straightening their hair? Or dying it blonde?

Black hair...no matter where they are from...is kinky. There is so much mixed blood amongst the "aboriginals" that blonde and red hair are to be expected, however they don't choose to do that.



Some people believe that the "european-ization" of the Blacks of america is the cause for the straighting of their hair and dying their hair blonde.



Now, it's also a regional thing. Down south (I know for a fact) people are color struck. Meaning they prefer a lighter or darker color black over another. My grandmother was like this, I'm dark skinned, and she hardly paid me any attention, But my lighter skinned cousin got most of the attention period. Southerners believed at one time that the lighter the skin and the straighter the hair the higher up you could go in business, relationships, and other stuff. The whole concept of dying my hair blonde is ridiculous in my book...some blacks JUST DON'T NEED IT!!! But I have dyed my hair fire red, my light skinned cousin is a blonde, and we both perm (relax) our hair straight. I don't believe her to be anymore white than when I see a white girl with cornrows to be black. It is what it is.



WHy is everyone says blacks want to be white by straightening their hair? Or dying it blonde?

1) Who is everyone? I doubt you have talked to everyone and I know I have not talked to you.



2) Black Albino - this is not a choice to be blonde, it is a genetic condition.



3) You have heard this everywhere and it is annoying..so you repeat it. Than makes no sense.



4) And what if people want to change their hair color...big whoop, it does not meant they want to be white..it means they want a change.



WHy is everyone says blacks want to be white by straightening their hair? Or dying it blonde?

why do whites want to be black-they perm their hair and get tans



how ridiculous



WHy is everyone says blacks want to be white by straightening their hair? Or dying it blonde?

People like to vary the way they look. If I get a perm, it doesn't mean I am trying to be black, it just means I'd like to have curly hair for a while. Why put racial connotations where there are none?



WHy is everyone says blacks want to be white by straightening their hair? Or dying it blonde?

I know, Me and my mom were born with straight and sliky hair.



WHy is everyone says blacks want to be white by straightening their hair? Or dying it blonde?

Why do you care so much what some people think? Honestly the people who get on black people's cases about "acting white" are typically black themselves.



I've never heard a white person talk about how black people should limited to a single hairstyle.

What is a good product to use before straightening your hair to protect against hair damage?

Pure Extra virgin olive oil, without additives. (EVOO) Proven for centuries. At your local grocery store, pure olive oil is a better deal. It's more affordable at the grocery store than the beauty supply store and is PURE. Great conditioner, protects well and tames frizz. Olive oil tames frizz better than some frizz ease products out there. You can mix essential oils with the olive oil so you won't smell like green food, lol. (Essential oils are mixed with olive oils offered at beauty supply stores, but they usually contain harmful dyes, fragrances and other chemicals.)



*Also consume omega fatty acids. Amino acids/proteins are excellent, too. Stay away from harmful chemicals in hair products.

Is a straight perm better then straightening my hair every day?

or does it do just as much damage. i have curly hair so how would a straight perm work out?



Is a straight perm better then straightening my hair every day?

my friend got a perm.



she said it was the biggest mistake of her life, shes 15.



dont get a perm.



Is a straight perm better then straightening my hair every day?

I have straight hair so my answer might not be correct but think about it. If you apply like 430 degrees to your hair(my sister has curly hair and her straightning iron goes to 430) every day. thats gonna apply alot more damage than getting a perm once and having it last for at least a week!



閳?hope that helped



Is a straight perm better then straightening my hair every day?

well it depends i get perms all the time nothing wrong with them to me but have to have someone who no what they are doing



Is a straight perm better then straightening my hair every day?

perms cause a ton of damage to your hair and if you ask any hair stylist you're better off just straighting your hair everyday. But if you do decide to go with the perm straightining it does stay for a long time and it's less hassle to deal with everyday but it takes a toll on your hair.And remember that if you have curly hair you have the choice to wear it curly or straight so you have more diversity.



Is a straight perm better then straightening my hair every day?

yeah but somtimes a straight perm doesnt work. i still had to use an iron every day.



Is a straight perm better then straightening my hair every day?

Don't perm your hair!



Its a chemical, and it ruins your hair in the long run...



Plus, one day you just might want your hair curly again, and you wont be able to get it without cutting all your hair off and re-growing it, which sucks.... BELIEVE ME...



I have curly hair too, I just bought a new flat iron, its a Sedu.. it works GREAT, and it doesn't take that long to straighten my hair like it did before....

(the price is worth it)



Good Luck!



Is a straight perm better then straightening my hair every day?

Depends on hair type, how curly, length, thickness, current hair condition, chemical treatments currently on hair.........A salon starightening process although expense, generally $200 - $500 and up depending where you live is the way to go. Perms do not always work the same when trying to obtain straight hair that is already curly. Neither are good for your hair........But if you want to do it, go to a quality slaon and get a quality straightening process......it lasts much longer than a perm and does less damage than either perm or iron....Why straighten it every day...many people pay for curls, I am sure you are very pretty with the curls...why not alternate different hairstyles...full curls, straight, some curls, you can create so many different look instead of one basic....



Is a straight perm better then straightening my hair every day?

Best to get a perm once in a while. The heat from the straightner eventually makes kinks in the hair which will lead to other problems later.



The best thing to do is to find a style that will utilize your curly hair and take advantage of what God gave you.



Is a straight perm better then straightening my hair every day?

When permanently straighting your hair, you're actually doing more damage to it. Why not straight your hair everyday? Use a ceramic iron and have a bottle of heat protector at hand.
