          | I`m bored with my hair.  I am 15, male, and have dark brown hair that is not real curly, but loose curly almost wavy.  I hate my hair and some gals say they wish they had my hair, is that a good thing?  Right now it is about half an inch on the sides and back and fades too the top with about 1 1/2 on top.  It all curls up on the top so I just leave it.  I really want to use a straightening shampoo, any advise on some good ones?.  Then grow it out a bit and keep it shaggy like the emo-punk mop top.  If anyone some answers to the two above questions or advise on this please tell me, and I need some pictures of the style, I don`t really have time to search for hours so pics would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

          | Shampoo cannot straighten your hair, no matter what the label claims. To make naturally curly hair straight, you must use styling products and ideally a blow dryer. The reason: you must get your hair to dry into a different shape because the hydrogen bonds holding your hair`s pattern together are only broken when your hair is wet. They reform as your hair dries and that`s why it gets curly again. You have to style your hair when it`s wet to get it to stay straight. I hope this helps.
