despite my efforts, my hair won't straighten. Darn it.

Gee whiz, cannot get my hair to straighten. For long.

So much for trying, and it's not super curly anyways. :(

2. What are you doing to straighten it?

How long is it?

3. Shoulder length....

and it's naturally wavy.

Just trying to straighten it with some gel and an iron a friend gave me. :)

but it has a mind of it's own. Can never get it straight straight despite what the hair product promises. :(

5. You need to turn the iron on high and take small sections of hair.

I usually straighten mine by using a huge 5" diameter round brush with a metal or ceramic core and a hot blow dryer. Then I sometimes will go over it with an iron.

4. I wish I could give you my hair

I can't even get a wave to hold in it. Straight as a stick.

6. Go to an ethnic salon and have it relaxed

All they do is dissolve your hair in Drano. Works every time.

7. I just got a Remington Wet 2 Straight styler and I love the thing!

Even in this humid weather it keeps my hair straight.

9. Super straight hair is out; wavy hair is in

I think you should play with the waves and curls to make them fall right around your face.
Ironing your hair can ruin its texture.

10. Learn to love it

and live with it. Who says we curly headed people need to change?
The corporations who sell hair straightener?

11. I like it straight occasionally....

but yes, I'll learn to love my hair and work with it. haha. :)
