One of the great benefits to curly hair is with a little bit of muscle or chemicals, you can go straight. Nicole Kidman has been sporting stick straight hair on the red carpet for years now, but the truth is, she has super curly hair.
There are several types of professional hair straightening available including Japanese and the controversial Brazilian hair straightener (which used formaldahyde). It's a matter of finding one that fits into your budget and your hair texture. The solution used is much like a perm, only instead of curly hair, it straightens it.
Even after a professional straightening, you'll likely need to iron hair. Invest in a great ionic flat iron -- it's much less time-consuming and a great iron won't fry your hair.
