I am a 16 year old guy with
short/medium length and extremely wavy/curly hair. I have to straighten
it daily, for it looks terrible if left slightly curly at all. Right
now it is at its longest, and i am getting it cut very soon. I want it
to lay straight down, and do not want to mess with it in any other way
than just straightening it. (ex. permanent straighteners, gels, creams,
etc..) when i first started straightening it about 4 months ago, I was
able to finish fairly quickly with great results. But recently, it has
taken much longer, with much worse results. I don't know if this is
dues to my hair being much longer than usual, or if its the irons
fault, i don't know. The current straightener I use is a "TI Titan Miniature Styling Iron", with a 1/2" iron width seen here: http://www.sallybeauty.com/Mini-Flat-Iron/SBS-152803,default,pd.html Here are some before straightened, still damp, and unbrushed: http://s233.photobucket.com/albums/ee116/sweatymongoose/?action=view¤t=1104082014.jpg">  (click for larger view) http://s233.photobucket.com/albums/ee116/sweatymongoose/?action=view¤t=1104082015a.jpg">  And here are some before straightened. But completely dry and brushed (gets increasingly curly and frizzed from this point on): http://s233.photobucket.com/albums/ee116/sweatymongoose/?action=view¤t=1104082109.jpg">  http://s233.photobucket.com/albums/ee116/sweatymongoose/?action=view¤t=1104082111.jpg">  And here are some recent pictures from after it's straightened (at its longest) : http://s233.photobucket.com/albums/ee116/sweatymongoose/?action=view¤t=1103081540a.jpg">  http://s233.photobucket.com/albums/ee116/sweatymongoose/?action=view¤t=1103081541a.jpg">  http://s233.photobucket.com/albums/ee116/sweatymongoose/?action=view¤t=1103081541.jpg">  Sorry for the picture quality (camera phone) It would be very helpful if anyone here could help me with any of the following problems:
