how do i get my curly and frizzy hair to stay straight and smooth?? i have a hair straightener but whenever i use it my hair doesnt get anny better. its still frizzy and ugly. i have tried shampoos that are supposed to help and also leave in conditioners and hair smoothers. what else is there for me to do??
1st: I put a small amount of CHI serum on damp hair. Then I blow-dry my hair to take out some of the wetness.
Next: I section off my hair in about 3 or 4 layers with big plastic claw clips. I start at the top and clip up sections of hair until all that is left hanging straight is the very bottom layer.
Next: I use a LARGE round brush to blow out my hair section by section. You can get a good brush at Sally's Beauty supply. The one I have is a wooden handle with natural bristles. Once a section is dry and semi-straight I release the next clip and repeat with this section.
Finally: I use the CHI iron to smooth out the top sections and a few section underneath. This way I get a smooth natural straight looking "do" that will last a few days (with some quick round brush/hair dryer retouches).

My would never stay straight until I bought a new straightener.
It was pretty expensive ($150) but its worth it! it is CHI brand, and it has a ton of products that will also help. You can find them at JC Penney and I'm sure at any other salons.
You might want to try cutting it about shoulder length if it isnt already it makes it a lot easier. Also adding long layers is a good idea.
If you ever keep your hair curly try Garnier Fructis curl gel, and add a little hair spray so the curls stay frizz free.
