Well i know your pain dear as i too have thick hair...VERY THICK HAIR and a natural wave that runs through it. I too have tried the "straightener" thing. Seems the stylists always manage to straighten it, but it takes them an hour to do so. Have you tried using the round brush while drying it? YOu can use this when it is wet and work it with the hair wrapped around the rounded part rolled under it, hair wrapped downward...and constantly blowing hot air on it...takes a long time though. That is one way.
You have a mullet though, that is the problem. Your hair is not going to grow straight if you have layers. I know this for a fact. So my dear you are going to have to suffer through and grow out the layer on top. Yep, well hey if you want a mullet then you aren't going to get the straight hair okay? Mullet and thick STRAIGHT hair...umm..there is no such thing i hate to tell you. If you have seen someone with this style...well i haven't is all i can say. I have seen mullets with thinner hair not THICK. Mullets with permmed frizzy thick hair yes and ewwwwwwwww..don't do that either.
Basically grow out your layers it is the only way to getting any sort of straight hair. TRUST me on this. hey i had to suffer through it too. like i said if you don't want to suffer through it then you simply have to deal with the fact you got a thick mullet okay that isn't going to be straight.

Perhaps you would like to invest in a permanent straightening session at the salon? I have thick and wavy hair, not too sure if it's like yours. I spent $180 at Magnitude doing a Soft and Straight. My stylist is Ken. He's the director there and he's really good. The effect you get is very, very soft and natural-looking straight hair. The result is permanent for the hair that has been done. But of course, when your hair grows out, you would have to go for a touch-up, which, I do often at a reduced price since it's only a small portion.
Since you have brittle hair, your hair must be pretty dry, this treatment would really benefit you. :)

Let it be curly, wavy, in fact let it be you!...if you cant do the style you want let it naturally be whatever, obviously there's a reason for this! Of course how ever it is @ the moment is probably nice...but if you're really concerned talk to professionals, b/c you don't want your hair to fall out if your putting strain on it!!
Best of Luck, AriP

i would seek the help of a professional and get a cut that suits you. nowadays beautician's care take care of just about any hair problems. there are ways to thin out overly thick manes.
turn yourself over to the pros and get real advice instead of probably frying and damaging your hair by do it yourself over the counter products.
