My hair is naturally very straight. If I just brush it when I get out of the shower and try not to touch it, it stays straight and will last. But, that's never the case. I usually scrunch it up when I try to dry it with a towel, and then I tie it up and shove it on the top of my head. That's not good for my hair either. When my hair finally dries, it's wavy.

When I'm trying to look nice or NEED it straight, I use volumizer on the top of my head when it's barely damp. Then I blow dry it a TINY bit while brushing it. Then I straighten it really fast. Not putting much heat onto it. It keeps it straight, and non-poofy on the ends throughout the entire day.

My straightener is small and I love it. I want a new one, whenever I get the money. I wanted to see if a straightener worked on my hair, so I didn't want to pay big money. But it does.

I don't remember the brand of mine, but it's really good.

And the thing about dish detergent.. it really does work! It makes my hair feel great. But I stick to shampoo, because my parents would think I was really weird if I switched.
