It depends on if you want a permanent solution or if you want to be able to wear it curly on occassion. For a permanent solution, definately go to a professional stylist for a chemical straightening. Be aware that you can damage your hair this way, and you will have to invest in the upkeep of visiting the stylist on a regular basis.



For a more flexible solution, I recommend a Chi Iron. I'm a curly girl and all my curly friends swear by them. I haven't used it myself, because I love ... no, worship, my curly locks! Although I color my hair, I wouldn't dare try to straighten my curls!



If you are having trouble with frizz, as most of we curly girls do, try different products. Stay away from anything with alcohol or harsh detergents. Use moisturizing shampoos and conditioners. If you have thick hair, use an anti-frizz serum, and if it's thin, use a leave-in conditioner. Also, gel made without alcohol gives good hold and volume. A finishing spray will lock in the curl %26amp; moisture. Look for one without alcohol to avoid the "crispies".



I use gentle shampoo and a deep conditioner (Pantene). Then I use an inexpensive non-alcohol gel and a curl revitalizer spray. Hope that helped!

Unless you want your hair permanently straight or you want to risk breakage, I wouldn't recommend a relaxer. A great way to temporarily straighted your hair would be to use products that smooth out fizzes such as frizz Ez or Citra shine. After applying one of these products, you could use a flat iron to loosen the curl. Be careful not to over use the iron because too much heat could damage you hair. Thermasilk products are also good to protect hair from heat.
