HELP ME RIGHT NOW PLEASE

okay so i am a cocasian girl with shoulder length hair but i need a lot of help. my hair is extremely puffy, wirey, and frizzy and i have a lot of undefined curls but i have to wear it in a braid all the time, i literally never wear it any way else. i have a flat iron that i use on my bangs but i have to go over my bangs about 6 times before they are straight. i think i want to chemically straighten my hair because i have to go to camp for a month and i cannot use my straightener there. im worried though because when i straighten my whole head it still has kinks and its still really really puffy. if i chemically straighten it, will it still be really puffy like that? is there a way i can get it to lie flat? my hair looks like a traffic sign because it starts and the top and goes out like a triangle. i really need serious help, because honestly im going to shave my head if i cant figure out what to do with it. please help.. thank you.

What kind of straightener do you use? If you get a good ceramic straightener it should work. There are also products that you can put in your hair that make it straight. I don't think I would reccomen chemically striaghtening it even though I have never had it done. The chemicals could really harm your hair.
