straightening hair possible?

Question

i have pretty curly hair. but, ive gotten it pretty thick and healthy.
for that reason, and the reason it just gets frizzy and nasty, i dont really straighten it with a ceramic straightener or blow dryer.
i really like//want straight hair though.
is there anything i can do that is safe for my hair but will get it straight?
and im not looking for a permanent straight...maybe just a way to relax it even just into waves for a couple days//weeks//whatev.
thanx.

Answer 1

Unless you use a flat iron it won't get straighten my dear. Invest in a Chi. It's totally worth it.

Answer 2

If you have naturally curly hair the only way to straighten it is a straightening iron or a very large barrel curling iron (the largest you can find). My sister's and I have found this is only only thing that works with very thick curly hair. All three of us have thick curly hair, and we all use a straightening cream that protects the hair from the heat, and use some type of iron on it.

Answer 3

Use an ionic flat iron. It will not curl back easly.
Solia makes a Tourmaline Ceramic Ionic Flat Iron.
According to the Solia flat iron website, "tourmaline,
a precious stone, is used to generate up to 6 times more
negative ions than traditional ceramic irons".( $75/85)

i used to have the same problem but then i bought a really good straightener.it's 100% ceramic so it wont damage yer hair.and it wont take as long as a regular straightener it was expensive but it was so worth it. if u dont want to use a har dryer get wet/dry version of this kind of straightener it costs more but there r garunteed results

Answer 5

they have at home straighting systems at the super markets, but i think they dry out your hair, or you could go to a salon and get it relaxed its not permanent
