Q&A for How to Make Your Hair Straighter Without a Straightener

You want to use the lowest temperature that you can. If you have fine or damaged hair, set the temperature to 300 degrees F or less. If you have thick, coarse hair, you may raise the temp up to 400 degrees F. Be aware that at 450 degrees F, hair starts to melt.

You can damage your hair severely if you are using a straightening iron on it when it's wet. You may even cause breakage. This is also an electrocution hazard.

You can't change the shape of your hair follicles. The follicle is the indentation in the scalp that your hair grows out of; its shape is genetic.

Start with clean, dry hair. Mist it all over with a thermal protector. Working in 1/2" thick sections, comb through to remove any tangles, then follow with a straightener, starting about 1/2" from the scalp and pressing in a smooth fluid motion from roots to ends.

Unfortunately, you probably can't make your hair straight forever. However, you can get a Keratin complex treatment at the salon, which will keep your hair straight for 3-5 months.

Blow dry them straight, using a comb. Start at the roots and work your way through to the ends, smoothing the hair down with a comb as you dry them. This will smooth them down and reduce the volume.

No, it doesn't. It is a very good alternative to straightening hair and works better when your hair is damp.

Make sure you comb your hair with a comb or brush, then you can try to blow dry it to keep it from curling during the air drying process. After that, you can straighten it using any of these methods or a hair straightener.

Gather your comb and everything before the morning, then when you wake up, instead of taking a full-blown shower, just rinse your hair under the sink, spray the frizz serum, and blow dry.

Wet your hair, or wash and condition it. Dry it a little with a towel. Put in either some hair lotion or anything you put in your hair - just not stiff gel. Comb it straight back. Put a hat on for a minimum of three hours. Or you could just use a straightener on any part of your hair that is long enough.

Use anything that moistens your hair, like egg or milk and water in equal amounts. You can use fullers earth (multani mitti) with egg and rice flour to make your hair straight naturally as well.

Just let it dry by itself. If you're referring to the blow-drying method here, you can't do that without a hair dryer.

Apply coconut oil to your hair after a shower. Your hair needs to be damp. Brush it constantly until dry.

You can use any type of hair oils or creams, you can also use a very small amount of hair wax. This will be better than anti-frizz sprays (it will last way longer).

Just spray some water on your hair until it's damp (perhaps try using a misting spray bottle), then try any of the methods above.

If you wish the take a shower without getting your hair wet you can always wear a shower cap to prevent your hair from getting wet. But if you wish to get your hair wet and wash it then it will curl no matter what, it's just your natural hair. You could also use dry shampoo if your hair starts to get smelly or oily.

Use a product formulated to straighten hair. Apply it when your hair is wet, then blow dry it using a round brush. Alternate the direction you are brushing when drying to make your hair straight, then apply a light layer of hair spray to stop it from waving.

I would use the first method. It works very well. If your hair is poofy, you may want to consider straightening it after the method. It may end up a bit frizzy or curly. You could also use a straightening serum to calm your hair down to make it easier.

Use product formulated to straighten hair, or just use a hair straightener.

Until your hair gets wet; if it's raining or you live somewhere humid, this will cause it to frizz.

Hormones, stress and aging are seen as the common causes for changes to your hair texture and quality.

Not really, unless you pull on the rubber band really hard. Make sure you take your time and take them out slowly.

You could wear a shower cap in the shower to prevent your hair from getting wet in the first place, or you could use a hairdryer to dry your hair prior to straightening it (if it's already wet).

You can use a straightener to get them the way you want but if they are thin and small you might want to take caution. You could also take straightening serum -- that may help.

It would, but the part of hair below the hair tie would be your natural hair texture. Also, it doesn't always work because your hair, even after hours of it being in a ponytail, would be damp, and that can cause your hair to smell bad and get oily. Best method is to use a straightener, or just blow dry, or keep combing your hair the whole day when it's wet.

Try using some straightening cream to aid in the process.

In order to keep your hair from curling up while drying, use a product to straighten hair. After washing your hair, blow dry it to prevent it from curling. Afterwards, you can use the combing method to straighten out some more.

You can use a straightening iron.

No, it shouldn't, because there are no chemicals involved. Just try not to do it too much.

No.
