How to straighten hair without heat?

**whitestiletto** · July 10th, 2011, 09:19 PM

There are lots of methods for heat-free curling, but if I want my wavy hair to be slick and straight like I flat-ironed it, is there any way to do this without damaging? Thanks everyone!

Wrap it!!! I do it whenever I want straight hair, and it works great. It's not PIN straight, like with a flat iron, but it looks very sleek and smooth.

I think there are serums that can make your hair go a little straighter.

Yes, wrapping. I use a cloth swim cap, so the hair is very flat after, no pins needed. Any type of tied cloth (silk scarf) will just slide off my head.

This is another method I came across http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omGqvaDVGTo . I never tried it and it looks time consuming and maybe it's a little damaging for hair as it has to be brushed when wet. Maybe using a special type of brush and being gentle doesn't cause much harm, I donno
