You need a better straightener. Plain and simple. Revlon is a generic brand, consider visiting Ulta [ I live in San Diego and Ulta's are everywhere, but I don't know if they have Ulta where you live] , or any other beauty salon to buy a professional straightening iron. I owned a Solia which was EXCELLENT on poofy hair and lasted forever. I recently gave it to my friend and I upgraded to a Superstar. For a good straightener be prepared to dole out 150-220 dollars. It may seem like a lot of money but it makes a heck of a difference.
http://www.folica.com is a fantastic website You can see all the straighteners with prices and reviews alongside 'em.
Hope this helps

yah a good ceramic flat irion will do and when i straighten my hair i have the same problem and i have a straihting balm it is like gel for the hair and how i do it is my hair is still wet and i will part my hair have a bun that is on top of ur head and with the hair dryer blow dry ur hair straight and after that u take the iron it will tame ur hair a lil more and after u got the bottom done you can blow dry the top 2 ways if u flip ur head and the hair is blown dry that way it will make it poofy but u again slpit the hear that u have on top of ur head and put the rest again in a bun or keep it out of the way blow dry that part straight and again use the flat iron to tame ur hair and do the same with the other side it may sound like a lot of work but it is well worth it and when it comes to ur hair u can spend as long as u want on it

If you have a Sally Beauty Supply store or something like that..go get you a CERAMIC straightner, and pick the one with the highest heat (costs about $25-$45). The ceramic doesn't burn your hair like other straighteners. It leaves your hair soft, straight and silky. That is what they use at the solons. Also before you dry it, put some Garnier Fruictis Sleek and Shine Syrum in it......that really smoothes and shines it out.

Sounds like you have thick hair, like me! when you wash your hair, blow dry it using a brush so it drys straight as possible then leave it for a while so its defiently dry. Then section your hair, (each side - both sides, front) section it into about 3 parts using clips and do a small section at a time, also it sometimes helps if you bring the straightener down slowly along your hair.

Use thermasilk straightening cream on damp hair, and blow dry it straight, then slightly go over it with a flat iron.
i have a revlon too.
but the best straightener in a CHI.
i want one, but they are a little over 100 dollars.

Leave down just a few layers of your hair, pin the rest up. straighten that layer. gradually add layers and straighten untill all of your hair is straight. put a drop of lotion(yes hand lotion or body lotion) on your hands, rub together and smooth over hair...should turn out fabulous ((If the straightener you have is white, I have the same one))

if you don't mind putting a perm in your hair , this is the best way buy a perm follow instructions without the rollers and just comb it through your hair. or you could go to a salon and they can strighten it for you but remember they use perms to do this also.
