How to get curly hair straight?

I have always dreamed of straight hair but I have curly hair and I really hate it, I always love having my hair down and straight but then it turns curly again
I've asked one hairdresser before if there was any chance of havin my hair permantly straight and she said 'dono I'll see' but she never told me! ... any ideas I can change my hair???

I would stay away from straighteners because it doesn't allow you flexibility if you want curly air again. The Japenese relaxers are hit and miss depending on the condition of your hair, the product used and the person using it.

If you have always been tired of curly, frizzy hair, this is the only option that you have ... waterproof your hair. Go to this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3iptUnSLWI

have you tried getting ti chemically straightened?
ghd's are good I've heard, theyre for afro hair so theyre pretty strong, you can get frizz control serums if thats your problem, I've got curly hair and if I just let it go it turns frizzy haha.
try the 'frizz-ease' range or invest in straighteners, generally the more expensive the better :S

thanks lauragracegardner for the advice

you an always get it permanantly straightened... my mom actually used perm solution and combed her hair for the elloted time and that straightened hers out.
its not always easy to keep straightening curly hair, but it's easy to curl hair when its naturally straight. that's what I do, I can even go a couple of days without washing my hair to keep the curls in and they actually get better.

you could use john frieda collection, weathering serum, and put it in your hair before you straighten it. ...trust me, it works because I had that same problem

use a straightner.
and I have curly hair and love it.
in the pic of you you have really pretty curly hair. so keep it. just learn to manage it better. ok?
