The best result you will get is to blow dry your hair using small sections and a medium brush. Then to finish i would run the straightener over it just to finish it off. It is not good for your hair to use the straighteners on there own too regularly.

A straightener of course!!
Straighten your hair when it's all dry! Or you'll burn it!
Try BabyLiss or Remignton!
Those are super!!

I can't stand blow dryers, they drive me crazy. Straighteners are quicker and easier- as long as you have a good one. You put the hair in and put the straightener down your hair and you are done and ready to hit the town looking fantastic.

A straightener on dry hair. I always blow dry my hair first, then put a straightening cream in it, then run the iron through it. Straightening wet hair is bad for your hair.

straightener, with a blow dryer is doesn't necessarily come out straight if you have curly or wavy hair.

A straightener is probably going to be more effective. However, if you want to straighten really well & do it quickly, you'll have to practice. It takes a some time to get the hang of it!

if you blow dry and then straighten it will last longer. Get a big round brush and blow it out first. I will stay shiny as well. You would also be able to have it straight for a couple days.

Honestly, if you use a straightener to dry your hair it will mess up your ends, unless it is one that is specifically for it. You're best bet to get really straight hair, blow dry your hair with a vented brush that is flat. While you're drying it, heat up your straightener and then go after it. There are products that you can get that will help make your hair flatter. Check out the source below for any extra information. Good luck!
