Whenever I try to blow-dry my hair, it becomes very poofy and I can't get it straight. What blow-drying technique works for you?
PS -- I don't want to use a straightener.

Round Brush.. BIg one.. check sally's ( i think boars hair ) then hold the blow dryer close to ur hair.. it takes a while.. also try some type of setting lotion or somethin on ur hair ....but using a blow dryer is bad for ur hair and will give u split ends. I used to do this for years.... u have to press the heat close to ur hair and hold the round brush close to the dryer.. if u blow the fuse u might have to keep resetting it..sometimes I used to use two blow dryers.. cuz one would keep blowing out.. (overheating?)

When I Blow dry my hair straight, I use a straightening serum... Not the ones that are lotiony... Then I take a regular brush and do one strand at a time. My Sister-in-law thought that i used a straightener the first time she saw me do it.

Do you mean you don't want to use a chemical straightener? There are some out there--Rusk's Radical Anti Curl--that are very gentle and work well with even Caucasian hair.
Otherwise, I would recommend a styling straightener like KMS's Flat Out Straightening Creme. You use it on your clean wet hair. Apply small amounts all over then comb thru to distribute. Blow dry your hair to remove excess moisture but not till completely dry--try holding the blow dryer at the roots and work your way down toward the ends to prevent frizzing.
Finally, take a small section at a time (even try pinning the rest out of the way) and using a giant round brush--4 or 5 inches in diameter at least, and wind it all the way to roots snugly. Then heat it with the blow dryer. Continue until all of the hair is bone dry.
You can finish with an anti humidity spray. KMS makes one, too. If this sounds too difficult, try asking your stylist to show you how step by step. Have them do one half of your hair and you do the other while they watch/coach you. If he or she won't or can't---find a new stylist!
Good luck!
PS: All of the above products are available at salons.

Ok well i suggest that you go to walgreens, and get this brush that claps together and it is a bristle brush on both sides and all you have to do is get hair between it, blow dry how pretty close to it, and pull down. It works wonders!

just blow dry your hair normally, then just use a flat iron to get rid of the poofy-ness.
easy and simple.

Use a wide flat brush and then when fully dry apply a little balm any brand and it will flatten out.
