I'm a guy with hair thats about 2 and 1/2 inches long. It's really curly. I hate it and want straight hair. I've tried my sisters straightening iron (remington wet 2 straight) with limited success it works alright on the front, top, and sides but does nothing for the back. Is there something better out there? Or should I just cough ou the money and get it straightened professionally?

I have extremely curly hair and the only way I've ever straightened it is by blow drying it first, then taking either a flat iron or a large barreled curling iron and straightening it. It works awesome, but is time consuming.
I have a friend with curly hair and she got her's professionally straightened. It honestly looked awful. As bad as you could imagine it turning out. That has definitely turned me away from getting mine done.
But I have heard something though. I was told that if you straighten your hair at home and have a problem with uncontrollable frizz or just the lack of any straightening then a professional straightening would only bring about the same results. So I think you saying that the back doesn't turn out could either mean it will never turn out or maybe you just need someone to do the back for you.
Good luck!

U need to call around some salons because not all offer it, ask if they do the chi straightener. Its permanent but as your hair grows u need to get it maintained. It costs about 300-400 dollars per hour and is less damaging than flat ironing it everyday. I worked at a hair salon that offered this and the results are very nice and people are very happy with their results. When u call, ask them to schedule a consultation so that way u know how long it will take and about how much it will be.

There are defiantly better straighteners out there, CHI for one ex. You'll have to cough up a lot of $$ for this straightener, but it is unbelievable. As for chemically straightening your hair, you will still have to daily maintenance on your hair. Some people don't realize that you still have to run a straightener over your hair. CS takes the majority of the curls out, but it can never be perfect. So, try it, it won't hurt! Just keep in mind that your regrowth will come in as curly as it was before the CS. It is not as low maintenance as people think. Try Redken's #12-a smoothing balm before blow drying and then try Redken's Spray Starch before running the straightener over the hair section.

If you want straight , you will have to go to a salon. But this is not permanent, as your hair grows out the curl will come back. You will have to keep it fairly short to get most of the curl out or why not just enjoy the fact that you have naturally curly hair. A lot of women would love to have this, then we could throw away our curling irons.
