I have wavy dry hair around 3 inches long with a side swept fringe.
I want my hair straight but using irons seems not too work at all, blowdrying has good results but i can't get the technique right plus its a pain doing it every morning.
I'm skeptical about relaxers on 2 points.
Firstly the effect it will have on hair, i don't want my hair to be 'poker' straight with a unnatural 'stiff' look to it.
Secondly the effectiveness of more than 1 application. I read alot of comments that using the relaxer the 2nd or 3rd time was not as good as the very 1st time.

I would say my hair type is 2c and want it straight without no wave left at all.
Its it similar to this http://www.menshairstyles.net/v/mens-medium-hair-styles/medmfamily-18-S-87-1.jpg.html - http://www.menshairstyles.net/v/mens...-87-1.jpg.html
