My daughter is a hairdresser and she has to deal wtih my hair which is straight! Perms tend to stay better in my hair if she uses a good conditioner before and cuts it after putting the perm in. If you do not like perms, ask a hairdresser for the best product to use. They may be able to get you one that would be more suited for your hair than over the counter ones.

this is a good one for me.

well my hair is naturaly curly but i help alot of my friends with their straight, completely straight hair.

the best gell in my opionion to use to get your hair urly thats not over priced is L.A. Looks and for you the best hold to you is mega mega hold 9 or 10. then for hair spray use treseme.

when you get out of the shower brush your hair then run gel through your hair. then get some more and begin scrunching it. while your hair is upside down. be sure to apply hairspray as you are doing this. then scrunch it to each side of your head when you are done keep your hair flipped to one side and wait for it to dry but keep scrunching it to be sure the curls stay in.

Do not wash your hair for at least 24 hours before trying to curl it. If you must wash it, use only a very small amount of shampoo, and do not condition your hair. Heat up your curling iron in an outlet for about 5 minutes or as long as necessary. Apply a styling cream made especially for curled hair styles such as Luster's S-Curl Comb Thru Texturizer Extra Strength and comb through with a wide-toothed comb. Determine the size you'd like the curls to be, and separate one lock of hair. Spray the lock with an extra strength-hold hairspray. Using a foam curler or hot roller, roll the lock of hair into the curler TIGHTLY from the bottom up. Fasten securely at the scalp, using bobby pins if necessary. Keep curler/rollers in hair for as long as necessary (until they cool, or the curl is holding). Don't curl just anywhere. Start at the tip or you will get a kink in your hair

Or you can scrunch your hair heres how:

Wash and condition your hair if you have naturally straight hair get shampoo and condition that defines curls like Garnier Frutis Curl and Shine and mousse that defines curls. Squeeze the excess water out. To scrunch it, you want it damp but not soaking wet or dripping. Wrap your hair in a small towel. Do not rub your hair at all with the towel. What you can do is wring it within the towel if the ends are still dripping. Comb your fingers or a wide-tooth comb through your hair and make a part as best as you can. Don't worry if it's not perfect. Spray hairspray in your hair. Put it near the middle and bottom of your hair. Putting it too close to your roots will cause it to look greasy and weighed down. Put gel in your hands and rub them together to spread the gel. Grab a small handful of hair by the ends and push it up toward the head. Hold it in place for a few moments while aiming the hair dryer at it to 'set' the gel/mousse/hair spray.

Repeat this all over your head, reapplying the gel every time. Keep in mind that small handfuls yield tighter waves and large handfuls create full, loose waves.
