Could be lots of things causing your "slice."
If your clubhead speed is more than ~85 mph, you can bend a regular flex shaft enough that the club face will always be open at contact - causing a slice. Solve that problem by getting stiff shafts.
If your grip is wrong, that can cause a slice.
Experiment by taking your normal grip, then - if you're right handed - rotate your right hand slightly clockwise, that is, move the V between your thumb and fingers from the top of the grip so your thumb is more on top of the grip.
Also try to loosen your grip. Hold the club just tight enough to keep it from flying out of your hands during your swing.
Try to keep tension out of your forearms - relax!
Check your alignment - you may be 'pushing' the ball.
Make sure you are taking the club straight away from the ball.
Slow down your backswing.

pay for lessons, your swing may have any number of flaws that are creating an open face or an inside to out finish (coming over the top) which creates a slice...only getting your swing straightened out and repeatable will get rid of it for good...if youre willing to pay 50 a round to play golf, spend for lessons and make the expenditure worthwhile...you will play better golf and have some basics to go back to when you have swing problems in the future, instead of a swing built on bad mechanics...good luck

Just close your stance and club-head. Work hard to get it going way off in the other direction. Then, you know what gets you both extreme angles, right? Pick a middle spot. It's all about trial and error.

Make sure you follow through on your shot. Make sure your hils clear at the right time and that will get the club face square.
If that does not work make sure you bring the club straight back and not ouside in.

first would be to get a lesson or two from pga pro teacher, if that isn't an option I would try looking at your fundies ie grip stance, address etc to see where the problems lies.
