How Can I Get Really Straight Hair with a Crappy Straightener and No Good Products?

I have a really crappy straightener and no heat protectants, how can I keep my hair straight and not frizzy even in humid weather?


I read online that olive oil helps, but that seems rather gross to me.


I'd try it if I knew it worked though.


So any tips?How Can I Get Really Straight Hair with a Crappy Straightener and No Good Products?
my hair gets really horrible in humid weather!i'll tell you some tricks i know. never wash then blow dry your hair right before you straighten it. if you wash your hair and wait a day before straightening it,it lays down so much better! olive oil IS good not a lot though just enough where your hand is a little oily and then run your hands through your hair then straighten it. try lotion like olive oil except straighten your hair first.. this tip isn't exactly my fav but the lotion works in emergencies for the frizz but it doesn't make your hair not puffy. good luckHow Can I Get Really Straight Hair with a Crappy Straightener and No Good Products?
Before straighteners, girls used to use irons! Make sure the steam option is OFF!! Olive oil is good for your hair and skin; Maybe you should try a hair mask:

And make sure none of your hair products contain any of these toxins:





* PARABENS – Such as methyl- propyl- butyl- %26amp; ethyl- parabens: Widely used as preservatives in the cosmetic industry (including moisturizers). An estimated 13,200 cosmetic and skin care products contain parabens. Studies implicate their connection with cancer. They have hormone-disrupting qualities – mimicking estrogen – and interfere with the body’s endocrine system.





* Propylene Glycol – Used as a moisturizer in cosmetics and as a carrier in fragrance oils. Shown to cause dermatitis, kidney or liver abnormalities, may inhibit skin cell growth, and is a skin irritant and sensitizer.





* ALCOHOLS – Such as Isopropyl Alcohol, SD Alcohol 40, Ethyl Alcohol: Alcohols dissolve the body’s natural moisturizers and strip the skin of its protection, leaving it vulnerable to infection. Alcohols destroy skin’s pH balance, and since they absorb water, they speed up wrinkling.





* Sodium laurel or lauryl sulfate (SLS), also known as sodium laureth sulfate (SLES) – Found in car washes, engine degreasers, garage floor cleaners… and in OVER 90% of personal care products! SLS breaks down the skin’s moisture barrier, easily penetrates the skin, and allows other chemicals to easily penetrate. Combined with other chemicals, SLS becomes a “nitrosamine”, a potent class of carcinogen. It can also cause hair loss. SLES is sometimes disguised with the labeling “comes from coconut” or “coconut-derived'; - and is found in many popular body washes and toothpastes!





Hope this helps!! Good Luck!!
