..go ahead. its pretty much commen sense how to use it. if not, read the directions that came with the flat iron.
I agree with Steve, you can go that way......use a low, low setting and a thin towel or hankie.





You can also use straightening products for your hair to keep down the frizz and use the flat iron on hot.





Thats what I do, I have lots and lots of natural curls and it takes some time, but looks good when I am done.
this is horrible i know! to flat iron you have to take your hair piece by tiny piece and get real close to your scalp and then pull down. you may want to spray a conditioner spray on the pieces first so the flat iron pulls smoothly. this whole process really sucks so if i was you, which i am, i would go to a salon and get it done. hope this helps.
just straigten it using the iron
since your hair is relaxed, its best for you to stay away from direct heat as much as possible. i too have relaxed hair, relatively long as well. [waist length]. but if its absolutely necessary, you should use a heat protective hairspray or just a basic olive oil hair spray and take your hair into sections and just straighten it. you wanna use the straightener at the lowest temperature possible to leave your hair flowing and to reduce possible damage.
I watch my friends (a group of girls) do this all the time, they lay down on their back, lay their hair all out on the ground or a towel and have another girl iron it directly, iron to hair
Put a towel over your hair and get a friend to iron it on the ironing board.
