Hair straightening/styling problem (pics)

Hey everyone. I'm here to get help on my straightening/styling techniques, I believe they are a bit shotty for sure. My hair if I tug it as straight as it can go it goes jsut past both eyelids of my eye. A picture of my hair here: 
That one isn't a very good picture of hat my hair normally looks like but anyways you can see that when I go to straighten it, most of my hair on my bangs lifts up off of my forehead/eyes when I went it on my forehead and directly over my eyes to look something like this:
What I usually do for my hair is this: I take a shower and use Redken Volumizing shampoo, then I use a Triple Moisturizing conditioner by Neutregena. THen I towel dry my hair a little, and then blow dry it completely dry while combing it with a comb/brush. I then proceed to take Sebastian Xtah Crude Clay pomadeish stuff into my hair to try and style it in the way I want it to be when I flat iron it. This is all while loading my flat iron up, my flat iron is a Chi 1". Afterwards it depends on how it looks i may use hairspray or I may not. Hairspray I find for more times when I put my hair up in some sections to make it go down and give it a raw feel with my hands. I don't know what I'm particularly doing wrong other than not really having the same length of hair yet. But if you look at this picture here, I believe it is pretty much the same length I could get it if I knew how to properly straigthen my hair:
 

Does anyone have any reccomendations on products or techniques that I could use or am not using to get this kind of hair? My friend reccomended Bead Head Manipulator or a Bed Head wax stick. SOrry for the long post/big pictures. I hope you all have a good day and don't mind it.
