Just blow dry your hair like regular, take your brush, and put it underneath your hair, brush it INWARD, so that it looks kind of flipped in [just a little]. Many girls ask me if I straighten my hair, and I'm proud to say 'no'. :) [ Sima's advice column | Ask Sima A Question ]

These can help you on your way:
*You can blow dry your hair straight using the cool setting. It's less damaging than heat. OR if you don't mind the hot settings, use them. and use a paddle brush as you do it.
*Use straightening products - shampoo/conditioner/gel/cream etc
*As your hair is drying, brush it frequently with a paddle brush.
*Wrap your hair (wrap it around your head and pin into place) - it's time consuming and quite tricky to do alone. It's also best to do it at night and sleep on it.
If your hair is straight but you want to achieve a flatter/straighter look, again, products (shampoo etc) will help alot, along with a paddle brush. Paddle brushes are best to tame hair and help make it straighter.
If you want a specific technique, like how to blow dry your hair straight, Google has all the answers and will probably explain better than me.
So good luck. :) [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]

Also, comb your hair straight out after getting out of the shower- and let it airdry, while you brush it every 20 minutes so it stays straight.
Good luck! [ ASAPcamille's advice column | Ask ASAPcamille A Question ]
