Is it important how your hair looks?It is for me.If I style them I just feel much more better.I would use straightener two times a week, of course some hair spray, comp,hair gel...I have pretty much things at home, how to style my hair, but also I like to take care of them, so all the hair treatments, hair oils are in my bathroom too.So what about you?Do you only comb your hair, or use some other tools?Whitch one you already tried and how you like them?Or do you prefer to go hair dresser?

I usually just comb my hair after I wash it... and then a little shake, and I am done. I have a wavy hair so does not need much work on it. I do not like it straight... To take care of my hair I use shampoo, conditioner, some mask once a week, and some serum to put on the ends to keep them hydrated.

I love the way my hair it is... So I do not see the point of have it straight... a waste of time and energy for me... I also cut my hair myself...

Well, for styling hair, I would leave it to my hair dresser. I used to perm my hair curly once every year and I just need to put some cream on every morning and it's really convenient for me. Now, I have the Japanese straighting perm to my hair and I don't need to style it. It stays straight for around 0.5 year and it's much more convenient. Then I take other hair treatment at home whenever I feel like to keep my hair healthy!

It's really simple! In the states, I believe it would be mentioned as Japanese perm and it's really convenient. You don't need to style that for 6 months - 9 months and the hair quality looks really nice too! You could ask your stylist!

I don't do a lot to style my hair. It's short, so it's very easy to maintain. My hairdresser is very good - he cuts it just right. I like to spike it up and have it bleached, but apart from that I don't spend a lot of time on it. ;)

I only style my hair only if I'll go out.like attending parties or gimmiks. I just lay down my hair most of the time. But i will first let it dry into a fan or blower to have a straight effect..and i sometimes use ceramic iron if i wanted it to have nice wavy effect. yes you are right, because of too much styling,hair can be damage. so we really need to do some hair treatments. I just go to hair dresser only if I'll be attending a formal occassion.like wedding,debut,etc.,which really needs to wear some formal attire. but of course,confidence is very important. whatever your hairstyle is, always remember that you should know how to carry yourself. and for sure.. you will look and feel good. have a nice day!

I cut my own hair with the Robocut device that I bought online. It is a wonderful tool that attaches to the vacuum cleaner so there is no mess. I don't use any oils or treatments, just Fructis Sleek & Shine shampoo and conditioner. Once the regional manager of a well-known chain of hair-cutting salons came up to me and said, "I know where you get your hair done! Only my people do it that well." WOW. I was flabbergasted! He was quite surprise to hear I did it myself. Although I wore it waist-length for many years, my hair is short now. It is naturally straight, so it pretty much just falls in place with shake of my head. The only time I have to comb it is right after a shampoo.

I just wake up in the morning, wet it and then shake it out.

Lol, I see you don't spend much time.But if you have a short hair, it is probably easier.

I just comb it straight back. It's very curly, so I guess you can say it styles itself regardless of what I do with it, looks rather wild at times.. :-)

I used to use spray and hair gel. But now I never use them as I don't feel comfortable when I use them. I just use my comb to comb my hair and let it dry naturally. If it happens to be washed in the evening before going to bed, I would use my hair blower to blow my hair dry.

I always have my hair well combed to give a professional look. I guess i look good with my hair dressed that way. So apply some oil and sometimes i would apply wet gel to bring it to impressive style.

I just brush my hair and pull it back into a ponytail, or I just clip it up. I don't fuss with my hair much anymore !

I usually just put my hair up because I go to work, and when I go to work it has to be up since I work with food. I do my own hair, but the only thing I do to it is straighten it.

I almost started a discussion like this. I have a friend cut my hair for me and cut it myself from time to time to touch it up. I only use a comb and straightener sometimes. I mostly wear it up so hair ties and bobby pins and thats it.
