i was just thinking back to when i was younger. i had really straight hair, but then somehow it got wavy, puffy and a bit curly. i thought that it was because it ddnt comb my hair for like a whole year in my last year of primary school, but somehow i doubt it.

anyway i was wondering if it would be possible for me to somehow get my straight hair back again and i thought of shampoo. now from what ive heard if people stop using shampoo for like more than a week their hair becomes oily and aint that why hair becomes wavy and puffy: because there is not enough oil in the hair? so if i wash my hair every night and it becomes really dry then surely my hairs oil production will go sky high, because its trying to balance out the dryness, and my hair will get its oil needs and eventually become straight again after some time?

just a thought, dont think that it would work but man am i desperate to have naturally straight hair again like the good ol days :P

your hair like yourself will change as you grow. my hair was not this curly when i was in primary school, but as i grew up my hair also got more curlier.
 
dont just blame oil production for wavvyness of your hair. it might because, you hair just started growing wavvy now.
 
you want straight hair again, you need to blowdry it straight, flat iron or get it chemicaly relaxed. The first 2 is temporary while the last choice is permanent. All 3 will damage hair over time. But choose your poison, but once you start doing it you never want to stop, and you will get damaged hair.
 
you can never get naturally straight hair again unless you have a time machine. just dont wash it everyday, its not healthy for the scalp unless you have chronic oily dandruff hair.
