  • Products for curly hair are designed to minimize the negative effects of curls (such as frizzyness) while attempting to accentuate the curl.

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen a product for straight hair other than maybe a straightening iron (and mists, etc. designed to be used before/after ironing), which does indeed iron your hair in an attempt to make it straighter.

    There are two exceptions to this: a permanent (“perm”) solution does actually make your hair more curly. Despite being called permanent, it only lasts a few weeks or months. The opposite of this is called a hair relaxer. It’ll make your hair more straight for a similar amount of time. Both of these are more harsh chemicals, and people generally go to a salon to get them done professionally. There are also home versions sold.

    In summary, read the entire package before you use it on your hair.









  • I use eBay. I’ve been using it for years. I perhaps put more effort into it than other people, as I check out every seller before purchasing. And I never buy from outside the US.

    I’ve only had a couple bad experiences - like the time I ordered an encyclopedia and received a single volume or the time I got a flash drive that didn’t work (pretty good failure rate, considering I’ve been using eBay since 2013ish) - both times I got to keep the (mostly useless) item and I got a refund.
