And girls with straight hair dream of curls. And they will never understand the owners of curly hair who are ready to do anything to tame their unruly hair at least a little.

At first glance, the easiest way to do this is to use a special hair straightener. But even this method has a number of disadvantages that further aggravate the hair situation. The most important of them is hair damage. This problem is especially noticeable among those girls who use a styler more than 2 times a week. And to bring your hair into the appropriate form you need to spend more than one month. This immediately raises the question: “How to straighten your hair with an iron without harming your hair”?

Today there are several methods of such procedures. Some of them can be done at home, while others can only be done by a specialist in a beauty salon.

Which is better: hair dryer or straightener?

Using an iron nowadays is like... black dress in every girl's wardrobe - a classic of the genre. Of course, this is the most popular and easiest way. The girls who use this styler have worked through this procedure until the smallest details: wash your hair, dry your hair, straighten it, secure the result. But as was said earlier, such simplicity entails a process such as the evaporation of moisture from the hair and, as a result, the hair turns into straw. Is this what girls who regularly use irons dream about? We can say with complete confidence that no.

This brings up the next question: “How to straighten hair without ironing, when it is so necessary?” For such cases, a hairdryer comes to the rescue. But unfortunately, it will only help with straighter hair, since it is unlikely to cope with straightening fluffy and unruly hair. And a small reminder: use a hair dryer only on damp hair.

These ancient models had metal plates and were not very convenient to use. They heated up quickly and did not have a temperature regulator, so they mercilessly burned the ends of the hair. But fortunately today this is not the case.

The plates of modern flat iron models are covered with ceramics. For beauty salons, there are professional stylers that are coated with tourmaline during production.

It should be remembered that the more difficult it is to straighten hair with an iron, the wider the curling iron should be. For dry hair, you need to choose a model with a steam humidifier. This styler is quite easy to use. Before use, you need to fill the special hole with water.

If you use henna for a longer period of time, you can not only smooth out your hair, but also ensure that the structure of your hair becomes thicker and acquires glossiness. You will also forever forget the word “dandruff” and the problem of split ends.

Lucky are those women who have long known how to straighten their hair at home without ironing. Of course, such methods will not give the same effect that we are used to getting after using stylers. But they definitely won’t do any harm.

But at the end I would like to add. Before subjecting your hair to various salon and home treatments, think about the consequences. Maybe you shouldn’t try to smooth out voluminous curls or perky curls? Sometimes an approach, an assessment of the situation from the other side or new hairstyle will help you avoid all these harmful and terrifying procedures for your hair.

Women most often straighten their hair using a curling iron and a hair dryer. But it is not recommended to use them, because high temperatures severely damage the curls. Many girls who care about the health of their hair are interested in how to straighten their hair without ironing and other heating devices. There are many such methods. With their help you can also get straight strands, but without any harm.

Chemical straightening for a long time

If you want to straighten your hair without ironing for a long time, for at least 3 months, then you need to turn to permanent (chemical) technology. Its meaning is that aggressive substances are applied to the strands, and after they are washed off, the hair remains impeccably smooth.

As a rule, hairdressers use ammonium thioglycolate, guanidine hydroxide, and caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) for straightening. The latter substance is preferable for very unruly and curly hair. This is because sodium hydroxide is a strong alkali and breaks off water by reacting with keratin. As a result, the hair structure can be irrevocably damaged. Also, due to exposure to strong substances, there is a high risk of scalp burns.

Ammonium thioglycolate is considered the most gentle chemical. This component does not destroy the cuticle and does not spoil the strands much. But, unfortunately, it will not be possible to straighten curly hair as you would like using gentle substances and without a straightening iron. Therefore, here you have to choose - either smoothness or healthy curls.

To avoid side effects, you should first consult with an experienced hairdresser, as there are some nuances. For example, greasy hair the procedure will dry it out, and, on the contrary, will cause irreparable harm to dry and thin hair. Also, you should not straighten your hair with chemicals at home without any help. This is very inconvenient, so you can apply the permanent composition unevenly, skip strands at the back of your head, or get the straightener on your skin. The result will not be the effect that was expected at the beginning.

Hairdressers advise, after chemical straightening, to wash your curls with special shampoos and apply restorative, nourishing masks. This will help reduce hair damage.

Keratin straightening

When girls wonder how to quickly straighten their hair without ironing, they most often turn to beauty salons. They may offer a procedure based on keratins. It differs from the previous one in that it does not contain harmful chemical components, so it is suitable for any hair.

After keratin straightening, the curls are smooth, shiny, easy to comb, do not electrify or frizz. Also, the hair will be protected from the adverse effects of sunlight, dust, wind, snow, rain, various fumes and gases. The effect of the procedure can last up to six months, depending on the type and condition of the hair. If necessary, you can apply keratin to your hair two weeks after chemical straightening.

In principle, this straightening method has only one drawback - it is a relatively high price. Otherwise, the procedure causes only temporary inconvenience. For three days you cannot wash your hair, go to the pool or get exposed to rain. It is also prohibited to subject curls to mechanical stress. This includes braiding braids, tying buns, ponytails and other hairstyles. One of the disadvantages is the occurrence of an allergic reaction to the components of the composition, but they occur in rare cases.

If you need to quickly straighten your hair without a straightener or hair dryer, but your scalp is damaged or your curls are falling out, then it is better to choose another procedure.

Lamination, as one of the options for long-term straightening, is suitable for slightly curly and curly hair. Just keep in mind that in the first case you can achieve perfect smoothness. But you won’t be able to completely straighten your perky curls, but you can make them much more manageable and attractive. In addition to straightening, the procedure protects curls from negative effects.

Lamination can be done at home yourself, but without experience and certain skills, the result may not be ideal. Therefore, it is better to first go to a beauty salon to watch how professionals perform the procedure.
