The lengths people go to trying to make their hair look "good" sicken me.

Don't do either! Let it down, and dry out naturally.

Or tie it into a loose, sleek ponytail and wring it out. That's what I do.

all that heat is going to kill your hair

Your hair is already dead.

I just straighten ^^ I don't usually blow dry but sometimes I do when I'm not lazy. My hair usually comes out well enough if I just straighten, though.

And you straighten your hair every time after you get it wet ^^

I do that in the summer alot ... cause its like 100+ degrees F. in Texas
also i chem straightened my hair so i can just brush it now (when its barely damp) to get it straight ...
but i get mad frizz when i don't use product and whatnot :nibbles:

I think I will try out Fuego's advice (cheers for your PM mate, ace advice! I'll check out that linky tomorrow, it's late here in the UK).

While it's true your hair straightens when it's wet, it's a bit pointless to say that because it's always goes all over the place when it dries out. It frizzes and fluffs up and goes wild (at least it does for me) and looks awful. I hate my hair sometimes when it's dry, but when I tie it back for a couple of hours and then let it loose, it feels wonderful. But only for a short while.

Thanks again Fuego, you're a big help dude! We'll compare hair lengths very soon...

This is the best advice you will recieve.

Any time Dellas ! and yea frizz is the ultimate enemy ... humidity makes my hair frizzy hence the use of product >.<
And i hate that my hair has a funky wave in it from using a hair tie ... any way ... sounds like fun and good luck to you Dellas in your styling endevors and i will keep in touch in case you have any questions

Cheers Fuego! I think you know seriously what you're talking about. I think hair maintenance is different for guys then it is for girls. The only similar thing between the two would be regarding diet. I think eating lots of protein is a big help, stuff like tuna and chicken. Not too sure though...

Sigh... I love my hair... it's so long and soft...

I think using a high-end straightener works just great. My mom has some ceramic one that works very well. I use it when I feel like straightening my hair out of boredom.

The only thing is I am worried, absolutely terrified actually, of either burning my hair off, or, while not exactly burning it off, singing my hair so that I damage it. I'll have to learn and practice though

Well, I dont straighten my hair or blow dry it everytime I wash my hair. In my case, my hair is way too curly and too long to do it everytime. I cant, just because it damages my hair. So most of the time it just dries by itself but its never straight. Even when I do blow dry it, I get curls hours later. >.<

But in your case, I would probably do both. They do sell products in beauty stores to protect for burning your hair

But I'm still very scared ;__;

Maybe I should just wait till i find me a girlfriend and then get her to do it. Simplest solution!
