How to get poofy curly hair really straight ?

[bailey]

I have the same problem here's what I do:
1.Take a shower before bed and put some sort of oil/ leave in conditioner in
2. Pull hair into really tight low ponytail
3. Use a little gel or hairspray to slick it back and slick back baby hairs
4. On ponytail, tie another elastic about half an inch from the elastic already in you hair
5. Repeat step 4 until your ponytail is covered in elastics
6. Sleep wig your hair like that
7. Take hair out and it should be flatter than normal
8. Section off first layer
9. Apply oil ( I use silk or Avons morrocan argon oil) and heat protectant
10. Straighten layer and repeat for the rest of your hair.
11. Spray hairspray over your hair and brush it out frequently while straightening
hope this helps
