Answer 1

Hi, I am african american but I think my hair is very versatile and I have a couple of methods you can use. First after washing my hair I either blow dry it, pull it back in a ponytail to let it dry or wrap my hair around my hair in circle and let it dry. Now if I blow dry it, I flat iron it right after because blow drying makes my hair poofy, so I use some biosilk, they have this at sally's, it's just a like oil, that slicks and protects your hair from the heat. You should have a small flat iron so you can get as close to your roots as possible. When flat ironing bring you the iron down your hair in a curved motion, never straight out. do small sections and it should come out good. You could use a little bit pomade if you wanted to use Garnier Fruitis or you could use a little of the biosilk.
For the ponytail method, I just flat iron the ends, using that same curved technique. My other hair at the top is already straight so I just have to touch it up lightly with the flat iron and some biosilk.
OK for the last wrap method, this one is the easiest because my hair is already straight when i comb it down so, I just touch it up lightly with the flat iron and the biosilk and it's good to go. Hope this helps, I have been doing my own hair since I was 12, so I know what works.

Wow thats way to much I just wash my hair in thermasilk and wait till it dries if you have time blow dryers really are not good for your hair and iron in the morning once you ge tthe hang of it it will only take ten fiteen minutes and head off. If it gets staticy then put a SMALL amount of Biologe curl defining cream in it. BEware this stuff is great but it expands over time so i mean a really small amount like the size of a pea or smaller

First, I think it is probably the best to straighten in the morning.
After your hair is wet put a straightening balm in it- my favorite is Aveda hang straight. When you're finished flat-ironing put a shine serum in your hair (it flattens out any frizz and helps prevent frizz later in the day)- my favorite serum is Aveda light elements smoothing fluid. I flat-iron my hair every day and it works extremely well (fyi I live in new orleans where the humidity is insane and these products still work really well)

Answer 5

First wash your hair with a GOOD shampoo. Matrix is good.
Second use a good conditioner especially for strait hair.
Now use your flat iron.
The only reason I know this is cause my girl does it everyday and I have to wait while she does it. Using good products is the key, she says!
Also get a good straightener and do it in the morning.

First, I don't wash my hair every day. The natural oils are good for it. (I wash it every other day, or every two days). Secondly, I am a huge bed head fan. I can think of the names (their silly names) but I use one for hair thickening (round purple bottle with green/yellow dispenser) and one for shine (Tall pink bottle with round top). The thickening goes in while wet, then dry, then I straighten, then add the shine.
