Can I use a hair straightener to make my hair more manageable and blend in curls?
Q: My hair is coarse and frizzy on the top of my head and almost straight on the sides and back. Can I use a hair straightener to make the top a little less curly and less frizzy ? I want my hair to be more manageable and blend in with the rest to the hair better and I don’t want to get a perm to blend in all the curls.
A: You can do a targeted hair straightening only on the curly parts of your head with a hair straightener. Just apply the straightening lotion by straightener's pads to the parts of the hair which you want to straighten. Section off the area you want to work with and secure the rest of the hair out of the way with clips. Beside this, you should to cover the hair which not to be straightened with a cholesterol product or conditioning cream to prevent any exposure or dripping.
Note: Please remember that the “neutralizer” for most of these products is hydrogen peroxide, and you can therefore possibly have some lightening of the hair color. This depends on the porosity of your hair and can be more pronounced if you have artificially colored hair. If you use permanent hair color, try to schedule to use the straightener a week or two before your next color retouch.
