This is really good information! I have had my eye on some of these products, so I watch out for them in the future.

very useful information, thanks :) and about the flat iron, of course your gonna burn your hair and get a lot of frizz and static-y if you get a cheap flat iron. I use a professional one for better results, it's the Karmin Professional Titanium Flat Iron, and it works pretty good, removes static and leaves my hair silky and shiny, I bought it at my hair styling tools. :)

thnx for the info, it's really useful, but I really luv my flat iron to straighten my hair, I use the Karmin G3 Salon Pro which causes less damage to my hair and keeps it soft, shiny and very straight. :D

Okay, all these shampoos are an obvious duhhh---shampoos don't make your hair straight. Buy shampoo to clean your hair and smell good, the rest is up to conditioners, treatments, and irons.

Is it bad that I've used most of these products? I just have a knack for buying the worst things...
