I wouldn't ever have my hair chemically straightened as I hate to think of the damage it could do. Also if you only have a £10 budget you will more than likely have to do it yourself, with a cheap solution, which makes it even more likely that your hair will be damaged.

What's with the fascination with straight hair recently anyway? I have curly hair and I am proud, yet nobody else seems to feel the same these days. If you are a curly girl I say why look like evryone else when you can stand out from the crowd?

Firstly, you will never be able to have permanently straight hair if you are naturally curly. This is becuase of the way your hair grows from the folicles.

However, there are many ways in which you can straighten your hair temporarily.

A hair straightener although it will cost you for a good one! It is worth the investment.

Curl relaxing kits don't always work (believe me I've tried them) and can end up damaging your hair.

The best way to achieve straight hair is to use a blow dryer with a narrow end nozzle and a round brush (preferably a metalic/ ceramic brush as this heats up as you dry your hair, ahieving a straight look).

Before you do this apply a smoothing cream or better yet a leave in conditioner to your hair. Allow your hair to dry a little so it's not soaking wet when you use the hairdryer (othewise you may end up frizzy). The key to straightening your hair this way is to dry it in sections, start of with the hair underneath, secure the top half of your hair with a clasp, hold the hairdryer with the nozzle pointing down the hair and run the brush through your hair as you dry it.

Do this with each section then finish off with running some serum through your hair to smooth away the frizz.

You may also want to use hairspray on you hair afterwards but try and find one that protects against humidity.

Good luck, you will need lots of practise but eventually it'll become second nature to you!

Hair makes a person
So go to your local salon and ask how much to do this and for their opinion on you doing this they will examine your hair and give you honest opinion even if you dint like the answer
To do it your self with cheap products could even ruin your hair and even cause hair to fall out

buy a second hand van der graaf generator from a charity shop.

you use your hand by putting it on top of the spherical thing, and then turning it on. your hair will be str8 in no time, as will the hair of anybody else in the vacinity/radius of about a mile.

Check out your local beauty school...easier and probably better than doing it yourself

I also foud that the prices are 10-20% that of a regular salon

You can get a hair relaxing kit for about a fiver at any Afro beauty supply store. If you don't have coarse hair I recommend you get a mild formula. DO NOT BUY SUPER STRENGTH! Good luck :-)

Wash it and just come through extra hold hair gel so it's straight. Keep doing that and it tend to grow that way. Straight....

I use Iman hair relaxer and it really works for me. you will have some change left from your £10 if you do it yourself or ask a friend to do it for you as it only costs £5.99
