    Default Natural/no fuss hair straightening?

    What are some non-chemical, no heat ways of straightening hair (if any)? I want to be able to straighten out my bangs a bit without relying on electricity or chemicals.

    I've considered that henna can straighten hair out a bit because of the coating it puts on the hair...anything else?

    Also, those 'no-lye' relaxers sold in the drugstore- what are they like? Can they be used on caucasian hair? Are they chemically? I looked at the ingredient list, I can't tell- I pretty much only recognized some oils, preservatives, and glycerine.

    Thanks!

    have you tried a huge velcro roller? I've found that the big ones don't curl, just smooth. Of course I'm not sure how the bangs will lay afterwards considering the big ones tend to give alot of body.

    ^^^you can do that and then maybe brush them out a bit? We can switch hair...I hate my flat nothingness. It wouldn't hold a curl if it's life depended on it.

    If it's jsut your bangs then yeah, you can do a huge roller. OR if you don't mind a side part, part your bangs on the side, pull them flat to the other side, and pin down with bobby pins. Use curl papers so you don't get a stupid looking bump.

    Henna makes my hair straighter for a day or two while it 'cures'. Then it makes it wavier.

    If something exists let me know. I'm currently addicted to getting my hair washed at the haidressers so they can blowdry it straight cos I can't even do it with hot irons. I feel pathetique.

    Brush them out and tie them flat? You'd have to break the part up in your bangs, but yeah. A big velcro roller should do the trick, too. Or even a big hot roller...just don't heat it up. Take a round brush, and just roundbrush your bangs a tiny bit.
