my hair is naturally thick and wavy. if i don't blow-dry it, it gets kinky and weird and frizzy. the same thing happens if i don't straighten it. i really want soft, shiny, straight hair but i'm worried about heat damage. any tips for how i can achieve this? i want to stop using my straightening iron because of the heat damage, does anyone know how i can achieve the same effect without the iron and make it more natural?

There are other ways you can have your hair straighter but it includes going to the hairdresser. They can thin it out a little and then chemically straighten it for you (sort of like a backwards perm) which lasts a long time and keeps your hair relatively straight. You could always try using leave-in conditioners to make sure your ends don't dry up so much, you just leave it in your hair after you have a shower and it helps prevent breakage and damage.
