So I have natural really curly hair and when I straighten it, it doesn't look natural. As in it looks like it is straightened and smells burnt... its also too straight,,, I don't know lol... I am a hairstylist so I know to use products. I use leave ins, oils, and protectants but nothing helps. also... I really just want to be able to straighten it and make it look decent. I've been wearing it in buns trying to let it breathe but even leaving it curly it damages.. I only straighten like once every two or three weeks. I'm so irritated lol.

I know exactly what you mean and I've been struggling with the same issue for years. The longer my hair got the easier it is though, I blow dry my hair with a round brush then straighten it and slightly move the iron under (like a round brush making the ends curl in) and then sleep on it and re-touch anything up in the morning and follow with fekkai's glossing cream.

My pleasure! Hope it works! And I'm not sure, either a salon or saks maybe even target? My hairs down to my ribcage but I'm thinking about cutting it to my collar bones but I'm not sure how it would work with my face shape lol.

I think it would be cute but I'd kill for long hair like yours. Don't cut it just yet, you may regret it in the end. But hair does grow back! Thanks I'll have to check target :) thanks.

So with the smell It's your flat iron that does that I used to have that same issue when I got my new flatiron my hair didn't smell like that anymore at all I got an hsi flatiron also to make it look more natural bump your ends with the flatiron also try when flat ironing it don't flat iron it straight down kind of make it like your bumping the whole thing
