I am a female who has been through many things in life. I've made a few foolish choices; but have also made a few okay ones. I feel like hopefully the mistakes I've made or the experiences I've been through can help others avoid pain and/or heartache; so that's why I joined. I wished in life someone had shared their true experiences with me if they were similar and could help.
Most people telling me not to do something; had no idea what I was going through. It was like those y?, non-smoking commercials all over tv and you can tell the people behind them never picked up a cigarette or understand why you did. I've managed to quit; but the commercials still infuriate me.
So that's me. And, I'll try to help if I can.

Ok I'm not sure if you are African American, or another nationality. But, regardless, you can get hair like that quite easily. The first thing that you should do is to wash and condition your hair with a smoothing shampoo. You don't need an expensive one, but many people are completely avoiding high sulfate shampoos. This is a good move for curly hair, so you can go with the Loreal sulfate free line, the Giovanni Line or the Organix line. They have cleansers in them that will remove silicones and heavy oils from the hair while still being sulfate free. You can find all these products at Target and many local drug stores. Wash, rinse, of course repeat if necessary, condition and towel dry.
Next while your hair is still wet, you want to either add a little of your conditioner to your hair (using a small amount as a leave in) or use your favorite leave in conditioner. Then apply a heat protectant all over your hair. You can get those from any store too. Next you can air dry your hair, or blow dry it (on cool or only slightly warm air), or you can set it on big plastic rollers and sit under the dryer. If you do the roller thing, you should use setting lotion to set the hair.
The easiest and gentlest thing to do is to air dry your hair. You can view videos of how to dry your hair in a wrap shape under a scarf on youtube (like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCjBbGgqd10). You can sleep in that, and it should take about 12 - 24 hours for your hair to dry. Or you can let your hair dry in a few braids.
Once your hair is dry, add some more heat protectant to your hair.
You want to use a skinny comb (like: http://www.cachebeauty.com/images/brushes_combs/pocket_comb_5_fine.jpg) or plastic brush (like: http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl0/10/107379/06_2008/brushes.jpg).
Set your flat iron on the lowest setting you can to straighten your hair. Section off a small piece of hair with a wide toothed comb (like: http://www.clipinhair.co.nz/shop/images/comb-006.jpg) and comb it through with your wide toothed comb.
Then using your skinny comb or plastic brush you want to comb or brush halfway down your hair and pause. Now use the flat iron to "chase," the comb or brush that you're using all the way down to the end of your hair. The hair should straighten after one to three passes.
Next use the flat iron, still on a low setting to create curls. This video is a good one:

After you have styled your hair, don't use heat again until your next wash day, and if you have curly thick hair, there is no need to wash your hair every single day. Once every 2 weeks is probably fine. To maintain your style roll just the ends of your hair up in rod curlers (like: http://www.maximum-beauty.com/shopping/color-perm/1360.jpg). Don't roll them up like regular rollers, but roll them up in a Shirley Temple type of curl hanging down vertically, so you have the loose waves at the bottom of your hair. Sleep in a scarf, and let the curler-ed ends hang out of the bottom. Sleep on a satin pillow case.
