pin straight, glossy hair
My hair is naturally very thick and curly, and I'm looking for a way to achieve that look: http://www.stormmodels.com/womendetails … mage=32827 http://www.stormmodels.com/womendetails … mage=25679 It's not for a shoot where touch-up can be made every 15 minutes, but for my everyday life. My hairdresser can make my hair that straight using a flat iron, but it's never as shiny. Is there something that can be done for me make my hair shine? The products used must not be too 'wet', or they'll ruin the brushing. I currently use Redken hair products (shampoo and conditioner). Also, are there any tips for achieving a nice tight bun that will stay put? I only know about bobby pins and hairspray... I can do the basic bun and the french twist, but I see so many gorgeous (but more complicated) buns... I'd love to be able to get that look.

And for straightening... use a glossy product, and don't apply it too close to the roots of the hair. Lóreal do a product called Gloss Control, and it's great for frizzies and shine. Hope that helps! May 16 07 02:26 am Link put a little baby oil in your hair when its wet out of shower after you towel dried it... and when i say a little i mean a LITTLE!!! and not in just one spot spread it over your hands then put your head down and scrunch lihgtly in different spots then work it in and blowdry and flat iron it.... i have longer hair and this makes it have that perfect shine and makes it very soft... but practice it a few times before you go out because if you use even a little too much... your hair will look super greasy and clump together... im talking dime size amount over hands... and it really helps with frizz too and will have none at all.... May 16 07 02:30 am Link Thanks a lot! My hair has always been a problem for me: it's so thick it has too much volume and it's frizzy. I look like a strawberry blonde lion. Maybe that baby oil thing will do the trick... I'll try it this weekend, the day before my (a few months late) birthday party! If I mess up, I'll have enough time to take a shower.
