How can I straighten my virgin hair?(My hair resists heat).?

My hair is natural and I've been trying to straighten my hair, but it poofs up after 3-5 days. I went to the salon on Friday and my hair poofed up today after I ran this morning. I know the obvious reason may be because I ran, but I don't want to live in constant fear of my hair poofing up so I don't exercise. How can I straighten my hair and keep it that way? I'm looking into wearing a weave because I don't want to deal with this every morning. Also, will relaxers work? How about soft curls?

Your best bet is to get a relaxer. With just a straightening comb or flat iron it'll never be for good.

If it's your first relaxer, I suggest getting it done professional and then you can treat your roots on your own as needed. It's permanet. Just be careful not to get a relaxer too much as it is damaging if overused.

With a weave, it's also good to have a relaxer unless you have braids or a sew-in.

Nothing looks worse than a free flowing weave with nappy roots. Looks all kind of fake.

Straightening your hair EVERY day will make it brittle and dry.
