you have to straighten your hair in layers and dependin on what type of hair you have it could take a while but heres what you do:
first you put your hair up but leave some down like you said and then straighten that part (make sure ur brush it) and they keep on gradually put layers down and keep doing the same thing until you're done
Hope I helped!! =D

I suggest layers. Put about 3/4 up leaving the bottom layer down [and bangs if you have them] Then just straighten it in little peices. If you have a ceramic straightner, you can do more hair than if you have a regular one.

Okay, straightening hair is simple. First of all, most straighteners require that your hair is COMPLETELY dry before you begin straightening (unless you have a special kind). Secondly, you CAN try some products BEFORE you straighten your hair as a little "prep job." I know Garnier just came out with a new straightening gel or spray or something like that. Finally, you may want to straighten it in layers. Pull all your hair up except for the very low pieces that are under all your other hair. Then, let more hair down & straighten that hair and so on.

Ok well start by putting your hair up in a clip but leaving like an inch or so hanging down(depending on the thickness of your hair). Straighten all of that with your straightner. then let some more hair out but make sure you are holding onto this section because you want to straighten this part. so dont mix the sections together until the section above is straightened. The reason you dont want to do this is because if you try to strighten too much hair it wont turn out right. Try to buy a straightener with ceramic plates and an optional steamer so you dont fry your hair. After you have straightened all of your hair brush it and its okay if you restraighten it all together this time. Finish with a finishing creme, my favorite is Frizz ease Secret Weapon. Works wonders! Use like a pea sized amount. Your hair won't frizz out. *good news* That frizz ease stuff is very affordable like only a couple of bucks and many teen magazines like seventeen and cosmo girl recommend it. Hope I helped you out!

Hey
This is my usual procedure when straightening my hair:
1. Use a 2-in-1 shampoo, and for every 3-5 times you wash your hair with that brand, use another brand to get rid of build-ups. If you use the same shampoo over and over, it will not give you that clean feeling anymore, but instead a dry and sticky feeling and not so great results when you straighten anymore.
One brand of shampoo I use occasionally is L'oreal Kids 2-in-1 Extra Conditioning, a red-orange bottle. It gives my hair a soft texture, but use it only once or twice in a row.
2. Then condition (I use L'oreal Paris Vive - Smooth Intense for dry, frizzy, or rebellious hair, the bright orange bottle.)
Putting on a shower cap is very important; it has the same purpose of sitting under that big heating bowl at the salon. And it prevents the water from washing the conditioner away, letting your conditioner give the best results.
^Those 2 steps are very important to follow.
But the following steps are just my personal preferences:
3. I usually shower right before I sleep, and go to sleep with wet hair. That way, my hair stays down because I'm laying on it. So when I wake up in the morning, my hair feels softer and easier to style than having to blowdry it right after showering.
4. I then part my hair in 2 halves, tying one half up, while styling the other half.
5. Before straightening, I squirt in some L'oreal Paris Vive - Smooth Intense Anti-frizz Serum for dry, frizzy or rebellious hair, also in a bright orange bottle.
6. Then I straighten with the Sedu while using a comb to style it efficiently. It also prevents my hand from being burned trying to hold my hair.
By the way, all of the above products I mentioned can be bought at your local Wal-Mart. There really is no need to buy something at the salon for $18!
Also there is no need for you to buy any of the products if you dont want to. But they do really make your hair look great after straightening it! But if you don't care about that then just after you wash your hair dry it and then just Gather up your hair into several sections and secure or clip your hair on top of your head. Take down a new section of hair everytime you are done straightening it.

Well, you need some clips & thats pretty much it. Just take the top part of your hair, like split it in half, and clip it to the top of your head, and then straighten the bottom half, when the bottoms as straight as you want it, then bring down the top layers & straighten that part, and then it should be straight enough!
