Stop trying to work AGAINST your curls. Work with them. I struggled with my naturally curly hair for many years before I learned how to work with it. Straightening it takes too much time and it doesn't look as good as well-done curls.
I use Garnier Fructis Hard Curl gel on my damp hair. Depending on your hair's length, use plenty of gel to coat all of your hair. Mine is shoulder length and I use about 2 palms full of gel. Distribute the gel with a comb and then spray hair with hairspray. I use Dove Extra Hold Flexible.
Blow dry using a diffuser (it doesn't friz out the curls). Turn your head upside down to blowdry the top of your head. Scrunch your hair a little as you blow dry to make the curls springy. Once dry ( takes me about 10 minutes) spray with hairspray again to hold.
Although I use a lot of product, once my hair is dry it is not crunchy or stiff.
After you style your hair, try not to touch your curls as much as you can. Touching them separates the curls and creates frizz.
Work WITH your beautiful curls, not AGAINST them by straightening them.

Nothing will make your hair striaght for a whole day because as soon as you go out in the moisture your hair will kink/wave/curl.
Straighteners will work for about a day if you are lucky.
There is a straightening chemical you can buy in Boots that you comb through your hair (read instructions) it costs £15. It is brilliant but your hair has to be in good condition. Also every time you wash your hair you have to condition it good style! The perm solution will do the same job but at about £5 but the £15 one IS designed to be a straightner. The £15 one will have to be applied every 3 months (to re do your roots) but if you have some left over you can use that.
Overall if you want permanent straight hair with out all the fuss everyday then go for the Boots £15 job but do a strand test first.
All the best of luck

They do this in Puerto Rico, and I am going to try to describe it.
Brush your hair to the left, fastening it with large bobby pins at the crown and the edge of your neck... until you wrap all the hair around your head like that. Depending on how curly your hair is, you leave that on for an hour or so. Then, undo it, and roll your hair back up in the opposite direction. Some girls sleep with that on, to have straight hair in the morning.
You'll probably go through an entire pack of large bobby pins or more, if your hair is long.

How curly is it? I have naturally curly hair, but it's a loose curl and has a very nice texture. When it was longer, I would comb it out every ten minutes as it air dried. It didn't give it a totally sleek look like you get from a flat-iron, but it made it straight with a bend in the ends and looked very pretty.

You can try using perm solution. Put the perm solution on your hair and keep combing straight for 5 to 10 minutes. Try to keep your hair as straight as you can. Then put the cream rinse in and comb straight the whole time. Rinse and you should have straight hair. It should last 4 to 8 months depending on how curly your hair is and how fast it grows. Good luck.

won't be able to be executed. you should apply some thing, expensive. Ceramic flat irons are the terrific in case you prepare a smoothing product on dry hair previously you start up (mushy and Seal by capacity of quickly attractive Hair is sturdy). otherwise, you like a chemical straightener and you are able to desire to nevertheless ought to type the hair each and every time you shampoo. Many smoothing products are effective, serums, etc. yet a flat iron continues to be mandatory.

You could relax your curl with using Cream Rinse...(.Conditioner).......Then after hair is dry, put some more in your hand (size of quarter)
rub hands together, then rub all over hair again............This is the only way that I know of without an instrument as you say....
Your hair will still have curl but not as much for the day........Then to keep the relaxed curl, you may want to gel it after it dries again.

the best way is after washing, when they are not fully dry iron them with cloth iron. And while doing so streach them.
But take care iron should not be too hot or you'll burn your hair.
This way your hair will be straight for atleat 5-7 days
