DO NOT do that! I've done it b4 and it damaged my hair horribly! Opt for a hair straightener w/ diff heat levels on it, that way u dont completely FRY ur hair out. Plus, with the heat on both sides, it's gives a more slick look. My hair is slighty wavy and dried out lookin, n I got split ends, but here's wut I do to make my hair look silky/shiney/str8....
1.) VO5 Hot Oil Treatment in the shower
2.) Run a LEAVE-IN conditioner thru wet hair
3.) Let AIR DRY [NO BLOWDRYERS! B/C u'll be using a flat iron later, and u dont wanna OVER-FRY ur hair]
4.) Flat Iron hair
FLAT IRON tip:
+ Make sure sections are small. If the sections are too thick, the heat won't penetrate thru evenly, and it will take longer to get the coarse, bumpy ends str8...The smaller and thinner teh sections, the str8er and silkier it is...
+ And go over the section more than once!
+ When u get to the end of the hair, curl the iron UNDER so the ends turn inward slighty...TRUST me, this makes it look WAY BETTER than if it were just bone straight. The ends dont look as spikey or however u wanna put it...
If u want ur hair str8 theres no way to do so without heat or chemicals. But theres plenty o products to HELP conceal it from the heat even the least bit...And yes relaxers DO work, but I recomend having a professional do it FOR you. Hope u get the hair u want!
