Straigtening short hair??

Im a guy and have hair no longer than two inches. It's very thick, coarse, puffy and wavy.... I would love to achieve the messy spiked look thats all the rave these days but I have to somehow get the hair straight first. I just got an ionic blowdryer and John Friedas wind down relaxing cream.... it didn't really do much, wax just made it gross and impossible for the hair to stand up, super glue works but it looks really disgusting and "plastic" and flakes a ton.... what can I do??? I want to get it dead straight w/as little body as possible so I can just mess it up and spike it normally. Hair is way too short for an iron, and chemical straightening would get pretty expensive since I keep my hair short and it would constantly grow out. What can i do????
