Would using a straightening shampoo and products help tame my wild curls? I want to try out a shorter hair cut?

I have the great fortune of having ambidextrous hair. Blessed or so I'm told with natural curls, I can pull off five-minute hair with the best of 'em just by doing a quick scrunch with quality curling gel and a blow dryer.



Doing my hair straight? A much more laborious experience. And if I let my hair dry naturally? Disaster.



As such, I've become an admitted product whore, trying pretty much everything I can get my hands on to both create defined curls and smooth frizzies for straightened hair.I think I've road tested probably every gel, serum, pomade, cr猫me, wax and everything in between in an effort to get my hair to do whatever it was that I wanted it to do ... everything except curling and straightening shampoos, that is.



Apparently, this would become the next frontier in my hair battle.



Bumble %26amp; Bumble has both a Curl Conscious shampoo and conditioner formulated with ingredients that require you to have a linguistics degree to pronounce, but suffice it to say, they're purported to encourage shiny, frizz-free curls that start developing the moment you step out of the shower. And to that I say, mission accomplished. I was pretty much astonished at the quality of curl I had after blow drying, and when I later added their defining cr猫me? Even better.



Meanwhile, Aveda has a Be Curly line that claims to reduce frizz and define curl up to 57%. I invested in their Be Curly Kit, which has shampoo, conditioner, enhancer and control. Ditto what I said above. I don't know what it is they've done to make their hair care encourage my 'do to be so rich and full, but it's seriously never looked this good. The flipside to their curly line is Smooth Infusion, of which I picked up their shampoo and conditioner. It also does a miraculous job of pulling my hair in the direction I want it to go in, relaxing my curls and getting any frizz to calm for optimum straightening with a round-brush and hair dryer.



Often times, the promises a product makes are largely bogus ... but these are proof that every once in a while, the advertising fits the bill.Would using a straightening shampoo and products help tame my wild curls? I want to try out a shorter hair cut?
No, probably not. The straightening shampoos, in my experience, are meant to be used in conjunction with a straightener or something (so the shampoo alone won't do it). Also, I've noticed that especially the conditioners that ';straighten'; are very heavy - I think this might be the only real reason why they might work. They're all probably made for people with hair that is maybe a little wavy. All it might do for you is weigh it down a little bit, but if your curls really are ';wild'; I wouldn't cut it short. You'd have an afro.Would using a straightening shampoo and products help tame my wild curls? I want to try out a shorter hair cut?
ya my friend is puertorican and she has crazy hair and she used straightening shampoos for like 2months straight and wen she lets her hair air dry its not that crazy curly anymore. use more the conditioner then the shampoo and leave the conditioner in for almost the whole shower
probably not i think straightening shampoo's are made for people who straighten there hair.....you can go to what ever place you get your hair cut and get your hair permanently straighten it does less damage to your hair then straightening it everyday.
try sleek by matrix. shampoo conditioner and mask. also a smoothing serum from biolage is good.
It will tame them but not forever, I got a shorter cut and it was easier to tame my curls
