Should I straighten my hair please advise?

Good morning folks, if it’s still light there!

Straightening might be nice for a different look for you. It's understandable people get bored with their look and want a change. You have thick hair and a lot of it, so it may work out quite well.

But straightening professionally is a chemical process, quite harsh (if you're talking that kind, and not with a straightening iron at home which is temporary), and it will damage your hair. And because you've coloured it, lightened significantly, that'd be two chemical processes, which creates frizz and the hair follicle loses some of its structural integrity.

I think you're better off not, for now (if you mean permanently.) You can style it with a flat iron, sure, but make sure to condition it well a lot (use deep conditioning treatments in the shower, and an after product leave-in spray conditioner/detangler just before brushing out when wet.) Straightening will show flaws more so condition and oil are helpful to make it smooth and shiny.

With your natural curls, try a smoothing cream marketed for curls. It defines them a bit, but also smooth flyaways. The guys like your hair as is. They tend to like natural, and a bit wild. Really coiffed seems more high-maintenance to them, so they tend to prefer relaxed looks, where the girl doesn't take too long getting ready, and is spontaneous and easygoing.

No, please keep it the way it is

I love wavy/curly hair lmao

I only keep mine straight because I'm too lazy to deal with it when it's curly

Sometimes I spike the front of my hair, sometime I comb it over. Try it out, why not?

Impossible to make a recommendation without seeing your face and upper body.

[Asker]
