Hair straightening
From the Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can change
Hair straightening is where a person makes their hair more straight. Their hair may be curly, wavy, or almost straight, but straightening it makes it straighter.
There are two different types of straightening: Temporary and Permanent. Temporary hair straightening keeps the hair straight until it gets wet or damp again, so only lasts for up to a few days. Permanent hair straightening keeps the hair straight for up to a few months, even when the hair gets wet.
A person can Temporarily Straighten their hair with:
- Hair irons, tongs which heat the hair to make them straight.
- Hot combs, combs that heat the hair to make them straight.
- Hairdryer, a machine that blows air over the hair to dry it quickly, so that combs can be used to style the hair straight.
- Hair cremes, cremes that help hold the hair in place more, but do not completely straighten the hair.
A person can Permanently Straighten their hair with:
- Chemical relaxers
- Japanese hair straightening
- Brazilian hair straightening
