Answer 1

Invest in a flat iron. Make sure it's ceramic because it isn't as harsh on your hair but note, all flat irons are damaging to hair. Make sure to pick up something like bedhead to put on your hair before straightening. This will help protect your hair. Also, I have been using one and in a way I wish I never did. My hair is a lot drier than usual and i used to have the healthiest hair because I took excellent care of it. I just didn't like the poofiness of it and that is when I decided to try a flat iron. When you do use the flat iron though you get perfectly straight and sleek hair and while it's straightened it's soft and you can't tell it's damaged. You have decide if it's worth the damage though. Hope this helps.

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.
