Unfortunately for me, I'm not the kind of girl who has ever had the luxury (or the guts) to just waltz out of the house with damp, freshly-showered hair, knowing that it will just dry "au natural" and magically fall into place in an hour or two. Since my natural coif is most accurately described as "frizz ball," "rat's nest," or "bushwoman" (and I just don't have the nerve to rock any of those looks in public), I've been around the block with my share of flat irons. As a result, I've perfected the act of at-home hair-straightening to an efficient art, free of arm cramps and follicle-frying woes that many less-experienced tress flatteners tend to suffer from. While I don't condone punishing your unruly locks by attacking them with a flat iron every day, as heat overload will just cause your mane to misbehave even more, straight hair doesn't have to be a chore saved only for special occasions, and it doesn't have to take hours out of your day!
