I don't ever straighten my new growth myself, because I have a relaxer, but I know on http://NaturallyCurly.com - NaturallyCurly.com they have plenty of types for straightening hair.

It's not impossible to straighten newgrowth. Some flat irons are better
at it then others....I noticed that to straighten my hair 8 was not
gettin it. The one I used to use went up to 26 and I used to put it on
15. Also, be sure to use heat protectant and do a cold shot with your
dryer to seal in the style. It is not impossible, but time consuming
when you first start. If all else fails go get a Dominican blowout.

Yea I think it depends on the iron too...the best for me so far is maxiglide...my ng is sooo thick now that it takes forever to press on my own because I have to do it in very small sections so I am going to start going to the salon and have them flat iron it for me.
