How can I straighten my hair without a straightener?

Well my hair is sorta wavy so I straighten it everyday but its getting really damaged. so is there another way to get my hair straight other than using a straightner?

after you take a bath tie your hair back into aloose bun it wont be super straight but it will help a lot

Ever think of getting a straightening perm? It works the same way as a regular perm--except without the rollers/curlers. You just apply the waving lotion and comb your hair straight for 20 minutes. I always recommend you do this in a salon--they can do this with your head in a shampoo bowl, which will prevent it from getting in your eyes. It will reduce almost all of your curl/wave. Then you can just run a light, quick straightener through it to get any fly aways and be on you way.

My 10 year old son inherited my hair. Wavy and slightly frizzy. I got tired of hearing him complain about it. So yesterday, I gave him a straightening perm (I am a stylist, don't do this yourself at home!) and he LOVES it. They were popular in the early 90's but people seem to have forgotten about them in favor of putting a 430 degree flat iron through their hair every day.

You will still need to use a flat iron or big curling iron to give it shape, but it won't be nearly as damaging. Just make sure you buy good quality shampoos and conditioners.

But, I always say you should love what you have. Wavy/curly hair is awesome. Switch it up--you don't need to straighten it every day.
