DONT DO IT! i have curly hair too, and on days when i want my hair straight, i use a flat iron designed for hair. the best one i`ve found is "Helen of Troy gold series" it takes 10-15 minutes to straighten...its damaging if used without conditioner, but the result is great!

Using an iron that is not specifically for hair is VERY damaging. It dries out the hair, making it brittle and weak. And, if at any point you ever wanted to color your hair, the color won`t be able to stay because of the dryness.

please, please, please do not try this. it is extremely damaging to the hair and it will be worse of then when u started. if you would like, i can direct you to the best of my abilities to help manage your curly hair. i have been struggling with mine since i was 8. i hope you reconsider.

How does this work? I`ve heard from some people that you can really use a clothing iron to straighten your hair. My hair is thick and very curly. Should you use a towel or cloth to cover your hair when your iron it? How do you get the roots? Thanks!
