Either one you choose, youre gonna need a good heat protectant first. I like the one by Tresemme(sp?) Actually, I just realized I used to have hair JUST like this just a few months ago. If you want to straighten, you have to get a good straightener. Dont be fooled like brands like CHI, you don't need one of those. I have one by Remington, its called the Anti- Static straightener. It is EXCELLENT, and it was $16.00. To make your hair extra straight, clip up all of your layers and then straighten each one. When my hair was really thick, I straightened all of my bottom layers, then curled the top layers with a curling want. I loved the look. Hope this helps!
