Default Does every shampoo contain straightener?

My hair is actually curly. But now adays , the shampoo that I am using causing my hair straight. First I liked that and I was happy with my straight hair. But now , I miss my lost curly hair . Though my hair is not totally straight, but all the waves are gone . So I cut my hair , so that it grows again with it's normal waves . It was well as I used a local shampoo first , but again when started with those shampoo from outside , my hair is becoming straight again, what to do ? Shall I change shampoo ? Or shall I buy shampoo without conditioner ? Does conditioner turn curly hair to straight ?

I have a shampoo when I use it , my hair becomes very very straight, and on the bottle it's written " For Dangerously Straight " Hair.
But I applied that shampoo for 3 or 4 days before many weeks.
My friend suggested me to use curler on my hair . Does curler cause hair fall ?

I think it was the shampoo that you used. If you are using one specifically for straight hair, that seems like it would be what caused the problem.

shampoo and conditioner might be building up on your hair. you could use a purifying shampoo or clarifying one to help get rid of all build up from your shampoo. next. stop using that shampoo that straightening shampoo. get shampoo made for curly hair. i have never heard of a shampoo that can actually straighten hair on its own. it must have strong ingredients. try another shampoo.

Good call on the product buildup, also try using a light weight conditioner, your conditioner might be weighing your hair down too much causing it to straighten.

Actually, when my hair was really long and I let it dry naturally curly/wavy, I didn't usually use shampoo. I usually just used a handful of conditioner, scrubbed it into my scalp carefully (keeping my fingers under my hair so not to cause tangles), then worked it gently down the length. Clipped it up to the top of my head with a plastic jaw clippy, let it set this way for several minutes (usually 5 to 30) while I did the rest of my shower/shave/scrub routine, then rinsed the conditioner out. It's much more gentle on wavy/curly hair than traditional shampoo & conditioner. Once in a while, if my scalp began to feel itchy, I'd shampoo & condition, but I seldom needed to. I learned the basics for this routine from Lorraine Massey's "Curly Girl" book.

Oh, to style it, I sometimes added gel or curl enhancing product, then carefully blotted my hair with a towel. Don't scrub or wring curly hair, it will disrupt the curl pattern.

If I let my hair air-dry, it looks a bit like Peter Frampton's, but I do it anyways. It definitely helps not to sleep on your wet hair (obviously, xD ).
But I use the curling iron on mine, and it has damaged it less than my straightener has. (At least, it feels that way to me) And curlers shouldn't bother it either, as I've used those as well and had no problems. (:

Straigtening shampoo's have lots of moisture in them, thats why the hair lays flatter.
There are a few that do not say they are for staightening hair but they have tons of added oil and glycerine which will result in your hair lying flat.
Try not to use shampoo's listed for damaged air or dry or processed hair. That way you may find one that works better for you. I use Tea tree shampoo and I love the way it makes my hair feel.
Also these shampoos will not take away your natural wave, they just weigh the hair down.
