You should get the Remington Wet 2 Dry flat iron. It comes in a wide plate width and a slimmer plate width. There's also a curved slim plate one. I actually have all three, but I would suggest you get the slim plate version, this way you can get your edges and the nape of your neck better. The curved plated one was a good idea but a waste. Anyway you'll be able to dry, flat iron/straighten all in one shot. Use a shampoo like Creme of Nature which softens the hair, a good after shampoo conditioner like Motions with silcone. Lastly a leave in conditioner, I suggest Lustrasilk 30 min manager. Then section your hair in four. Put a small amount of any frizz serum or polisher (like Smooth N' Shine hair polisher, John Frieda's Frizz Ease or Hask Pure Shine) in the palm of your hand, rub your hands together then apply to one of the four sections and pin that section up. Countinue with each of the other 3 section in the same way. Then starting with the back sections take a small piece of hair use the Remington and flat iron /dry each piece until your done with that section. If you dont get the Remington or another type of Wet/Dry flat iron then just blow dry small pieces of hair in each section and then go over the sections with a regular flat iron. I am a Black American with relaxed long thick hair to the middle of my back. My daughter has unrelaxed shoulder grazing length thick coarse hair and i use this method for both of our hair. I have let her kiddie relaxer grow completely out of her hair over the last 9 months ago, so her hair is back in it's natural state. It shrinks to the head when it's washed, so the kiddie perm she had is completely grown out. Kmart, Duane Reade %26amp; a bunch of stores sell the Remington. About $24.99 to $34.99, depending onthe size U get.

Chi is an awesome tool for any hair type, but as an African American you need to go a step further if you want your hair to be straight and manageable, even before you use any straightening tool; you must , every night mold your hair by way of "wrapping it" or just laying it down in whatever direction you intend to wear it in the morning, you may use setting lotion mixed with leave in conditioners, make sure you cover your head of hair with a scarf or something comparable. This has to become a part of your nightly regimen. After you've styled your hair every morning make sure you use a light ' spray' on oil sheen for shine, it gives you the appearance of healthy hair. Good luck.

It's funny because i'm having the same dillema right now. The chi does work well for straightening hair, but you have to realize that everytime, you are slowly weakening or damaging your hair, everytime you straighten it. To make it easier you might want to try a natural relaxer. Unlike chemical relaxers with ly and other harsh treatments, it doesn't straigten you hair. instead it softens the curls so that it's easier to straighten and also your hair stays straight longer.it's not as susceptible to frizzing when it's humid or such.

The regime that the person listed above, will also help to keep your hair in order.
