If you have been blessed with fairly straight hair, then
you are lucky and the envy of many women (myself included). Thick hair
that is mostly straight, with maybe a slight wave is usually the
easiest hair to style. Your natural wave loves to be curled and styled,
and yet is easy to straighten and looks fabulous worn straight.
Women
with tight curly hair, or fine, dead straight hair that has little body
and refuses to hold curl (yes, that's me!) struggle to style our hair
at times.
If your hair is not quite as straight as you want it,
you have some easy options to temporarily straighten your hair:
straightening products, hair dryer or straightening iron.If
your hair is really not straight and you want to get rid of your curl
permanently (well, at least 6 months), you have the option of
professionally straightening your hair.
