The first thing you have to come to terms with is that you cannot change the basic nature of your hair without applying chemical enhancements to it. You can have poker straight hair, and there are no two ways about it. But know that this change will only be temporary and will not be permanent. For permanent changes, you would have to visit a parlor where you can get a procedure like bonding done to your hair to straighten it out. However, before you actually set to have poker straight hair, you must get a consultation with a qualified hair expert. This is important because any permanent procedure like hair bonding will always have some sort of side effect on the general state and health of your hair. Only a hair consultant who examines your hair as well as scalp closely and well will be able to tell you whether or not you should opt for something like this. Keep in mind also that procedures like hair bonding are permanent. This is to say that when your hair grows out, the new hair roots will be the only part of your hair that will not be straight. You will have to also get this procedure reinforced every six months or so, depending upon how quickly your hair grows. However, if you want to get straight hair on a temporary basis, there are several things you can do at home to accomplish this.

One of the most effective ways to get poker straight hair is to deeply condition and then blow dry it. If you have access to one, you must make it a point to use a blow dryer that has the ion feature. This will ensure that the hair shaft is not damaged in the process of blow drying. Using a regular dryer that will only emit hot air will tend to add frizz to your hair, thus preventing it from becoming poker straight. It is also essential to use some sort of oil free serum while blow drying your hair. This will also ensure that your hair has a beautiful sheen to it. The other method that is commonly used for poker straight hair is using a straightening iron. This is also a very good way to get your hair to poker up quickly. But it is important that you keep in mind that this is a temporary thing. The moment you wash your hair, you will lose the straightening.
