Straighten it then use curling tongs very loosely.

Are there no products that would do this??

Argan oil while wet, serum, blow dry roughly with wide-toothed comb through main bit, round metal-barrelled brush through fringe. Add vitapointe or finishing cream.

They would help but that style was created with styling I expect. I have curly hair and use body shop products but if I want a polished look like that, I have to use irons and tongs.

I have curly hair and I get the "straight with lots of volume" look by doing the following:

  1. Patting water off freshly washed hair with towel and combing through serum (I like the thermal protect one from Frizz Ease--the orange one).
  2. Blow-drying using a wide, flat paddle brush to hold sections out "straight" for the hairdryer. This leaves me with hair which is a fair bit straighter, but not flat.
  3. I then go over sections loosely with straightening irons, but not too much or I lose the volume.
  4. I finish with a little more serum. If I want to encourage a little more shape, I pull my hair back in a loose, high ponytail for about half an hour and then just let it down again.

I'd never put oil on my hair before heat styling; you're effectively frying it, no?

Argan oil is serum with Argan oil in it IYSWIM, Ginger, so it won't fry your hair.

If your hair is curly, then you will have to style and use products too, if your hair is fine and thin and curly, you probably need to blow dry smoothish with metal barrelled round brush for volume, and then use a cream for definition, as per BOF, if thick, then probably also use straighteners and wax or vitapointe or finishing cream to get the piecey finish.

Okay, so I always use Agan oil, but I generally do the 'no/low poo' method, I went out to look for a serum but couldn't find a silicone free one. Do they exist??

Also I looked at Vitapointe but didn't really 'get' what it was... Is it a leave in conditioner or a styling product??

Body shop serum is silicone free .

Chocamochalatte · 05/03/2013 22:51

Thanks, just looked and its a bit over my budget at £7.00... May go and google homemade serum!! :)

frizz ease serum

Chocamochalatte · 05/03/2013 23:17

Thanks Nailak but Frizz ease is awful for my hair, makes it more frizzier!! The one product that never fails me is Boots curl cream, it's amazing!

i never tried it! may do now!

valiumredhead · 06/03/2013 13:26

She has had her hair straightened within an inch of its life and then loosely curled, there is nothing low maintenance about that style, sorry!

I have frizzy hair which sounds like yours and TIGI Blow out Balm really helps as does L'Oreal Extraordinary Hair Oil.

A more permanent solution would be a Brazilian Blowout. It does break the bank though!

WallyBantersJunkBox · 06/03/2013 14:04

Oh and apparently contains formaldehyde. Confused

Best to avoid that one then!
