Q&A for How to Straighten Curly Hair

This may be because not all the moisture was removed from your hair while blow-drying. Next time, make sure to fully dry your hair before straightening it.

A flat iron will be the fastest way to straighten your hair. Make sure you apply a heat protectant product before you use the flat iron. Then, work in 1-inch (2.5 cm) sections.

Help prevent this by styling your hair into a bun/braid before you go to sleep. You can also wrap your whole entire head with a scarf or bandanna before bed.

Put it in two tight ponytails. That way the top should stay straight. Then every inch or so, put a band in. Keep doing it until you reach the bottom. Sleep with it on overnight. In the morning, take it out and your hair should look good.

It depends on your type of hair and whether it is damaged or not. For example, if you have coarse, curly hair with some damage, it's better to pass over it more quickly.

You don't have to, but it's better to since it will keep your hair moisturized. Your hair could become dry if you don't.

You have to comb your hair before using flat iron and use conditioner daily.

For very curly hair, around two hours. Semi-curly takes an hour to an hour and a half. Normal hair takes 30 - 45 minutes.

The same as with a woman. You can follow this guide, but if you have short hair, be careful not to burn your scalp or damage the roots.

No. Straightening every day for long periods of time can damage your hair, but limit the amount of straightening and use a heat protectant spray.

But if you rinse the hair with water, then put egg in it by brushing it through it with a wide toothed comb, then wash your hair like your normally would do with shampoo and conditioner then your hair will go shiny and moisturized and will be great when you style it or leave it natural!

No, most probably not. It's based on the hair style or regular hair cuts not actually the humidity.

Yes. You can straighten your hair any time you want using heat protector spray. As long as you don't do it for long periods of time, it will be fine.

You can straighten your hair without hairspray. Instead, you can apply hair serum if you want to straighten your hair using a flat iron.

Even though you can straighten it and add a lot of hair spray to keep it that way, without chemicals, it’s hard to keep it straight all day. If your hair won't stay board straight for long, just accept this and work around it by straightening it just before a special event so it stays that way for a few hours.

No, you should be good to go if it is completely dry. However, if there is some moisture remaining blow dry your hair for a few minutes or however long it takes to get dry completely.
