How long does it take to straighten your hair?

It takes my wife a few hours but she has very long, very thick, very curly hair. She uses GHD’s and Schwarzkopf Anti-Frizz Serum.

My hair is more than halfway down my back so it takes about 40 minutes. If your hair is shorter you’ll be done much sooner. It also depends on how thick your hair is.

You’ll probably be OK if you just do it now. Unless it’s very humid or you get it wet, the straightness will hold.

I use Frizz Ease if I need it really straight with minimal frizz. A little bit goes a long way though, and it works much better if you put it in straight out of the shower when your hair’s still wet and comb it through.

Good luck and have fun at your party!

It depends on your hair.There are alot of products out there to help straighten,just don’t use too much.
Why don’t you just do a trial run and see how long it takes you?

I’d set aside 2 hours just in case. I’ve also found that if I wash my hair the day before I straighten it, It is much easier and less frizzy when I do it. The more you straighten your hair the faster the process is, or at least thats been my experience. It also depends on how well your straighter works, cheap drug store straighteners might not do the job well and you will have to go over it many times, but a good straightener like a chi gets it done in one pass.

I use Remington Sleek & Slim at about 200ºC. Depends how thick your hair is. The thicker it is, the higher the temperature you should use. If you’ve got quite thin hair, I’d got for about 90ºC or less. Also, if it’s curly use a hotter temperature, no matter how thin it is, as it’s quite difficult to straighten curls on a lower temperature. I use Dove Heat Defence Therapy, it’s just a squirty spray, you only need about two or three sprays on the different sections of hair. I use Bedhead Hairspray, and although I find that any hairspray does the job, Bedhead leaves your hair feeling soft and bouncy, unlike some hairsprays which can make them stiff. It takes me about ten to fifteen minutes to straighten my hair, which reaches my chest. Hope this helps.

It takes me exactly 3½ minutes.

I agree with the others that if you are not sure, do a dry run the day before – that way you’ll know! If you are looking for some tips – After showering, towel-dry your hair as much as you can, before it starts drying and curling up. Then, add a product meant for straightening or de-frizzing. I use this product called Str8 which works GREAT. Using your blow dryer and a hollow (large barrel) round brush, dry in small sections as straight as you can. Then, using a flattening iron, work through small sections, making your hair super-straight! Finally, use the cool setting on your hairdryer to blast your hair for a few seconds – the cold air will set the style. The product as well as the flat iron should help keep your hair from curling/frizzing up all evening. Just don’t go out in the rain! Good luck!

Too long and I have thick coarse straight hair.
