well, my hair is already straight, but the tips/ends aren't? i dont know, its weird. but i want my hair to be pin straight. is there any way i can do that without damaging my hair? the other day i went to cvs with my mom and bought herbal essences .. the pin straight one x) it doesnt work lmao. i kinda knew it wouldnt, but i wanted to try it anyways xD

i also wanted to get some cheap hair straightener (i figured, since its only the ends that aren't straight, why spend $50+ on one?) and yes, i know that damages your hair but i really want pin straight hair x) but i dont know which kind is good/bad?

ideas? suggestions? :/

You're not going to be able to get your hair pin straight without using a chemical relaxer. All chemical relaxers, no matter what they say on the box, are going to be damaging to your hair. Relaxers go against what your hair naturally wants to do, so, IMO, you're better off without it. If you've never done one on yourself before, this isn't the time to do it. I highly highly recommend you go to a proper hair stylist to get one. If you decide to get your hair professionally straightened, check out Japanese hair straightening (which has results lasting for months).

If you want to get it straight without using chemicals, invest in a decent ceramic flat iron or maybe an electric hot comb, and use products designed for working with heat (i.e. Thermasilk).
