i have a lot of hair. its thick and its really curly.
all of my ends are dead and im gonna cut my hair up to my shoulder
(its up to the middle of my back now)
BUT i used to have short hair before and it got really really curly.
so i was wondering if there are any ways i can make my hair wavy or straighter with out using hot appliances.
thanks! and please help!

by the way, i am not African American. i am Spanish. (not trying to be racist)

You can go to your local hair salon if you want to spend the money, they can chemically treat it to stay straight for upwards of 6 months. It's similar to getting a perm, but with the opposite results. They have at-home chemicals to straighten your hair, but I would advise against it unless you are really good with hair.

You could try permanently straightening your hair at the salon with chemicals, but it ruins your hair if used too often. You could also try shampooing & conditioning your hair, apply straightening balm, blow-dry, then flat iron.

Hope this helps,

Try using a straightening shampoo and conditioner. Matrix has one.

Do not chemically treat it! That will absolutely ruin your hair. I have curls and I love it! Don't lose your curls forever.

You could put a chemical relaxer on it, that would help.

BUY A HEAR STRAIGHTNER
