Don't straighten your hair! It's really bad and causes 'fried' hair. Most people look better natrual anyways. :3

Yep, your hair does look pretty fried. Are you naturally curlyish-wavy? Grow out the fried hair and don't straighten; trust me, you'll have healthier looking hair.New Hair Style help PLEASE!!!?
There are so many options with your hair.



For the really nice looking, modern pretty styles that you see around now, the popular method is to wet set your hair using either velcro or the plastic type of rollers. You can also style your hair in different ways, plus its better for your hair and the curls hold better and last a long time. This yahoo groups has tons of pictures of the latest styles without the spam and links to go through. It takes some patience because there are so many pictures. I think it might be of help.

You might want to find a pic of a hairstyle that you like, then take it to the salon and watch how they style your hair. That way you can do it at home. Most stylists are very helpful at showing there clients on how to do their hair at home.
