Hello. Okay yeah I'm going to this wedding soon and i'm having my hair straight. I have my hair straight alot but it always seems to go big at the sides where my layers are and it's really starting to annoy me. So does anyone know what products I could use to stop the volume/BIG-ness? Lol, thanks. x

[Clarissa]

a weak gel will flaten it down

[MsTanya]

If you have layers, do you straighten the longest one first then do tha top ones?

[Code]

I use Brylcreem when I don't want my hair to be big.

It depends really, why, which aren't I supposed to do?:p

Like, i've just straightened my hair now and the smaller layers at the side have gone big again.

[Rachi]

NONONO
BOTTOM LAYER 1ST
Clip the top layer up 1st
Thenstraighten the bottom bit
Then let the top bits down then take more time straightening them

About half an hour
"/
I only straighten the front
bcoz i keep messin wif the bak at skl ;]

[Clo]

The back of my hair doesn't need straightening, it's the sides.

[Clo.]

Make sure you add some serum into ya hair when it's damp and blowdry.
Do what Miny-R said with sectioning bits ;P And starting from the bottom.
Also when your actually straightning, make sure your pulling the straightners down.. not out to the side (even though its easier..) Ah, and when you straighten don't just go through the section quick. go slowwwwly ;P
I would recommend products but all the ones I use are salon products >.<

[Pulchritudinous]

Because your straighteners go up to a high temperature and you do it quickly, your hair is probably becoming frizzy and unmanagable from the heat, so perhaps you should try something to spray in your hair that will protect it against heat, redken do a good one.
Or you could always use a straightening balm, there are tonnes of those around lately.
