Straightening your hair with a flat iron or chemicals will damage your hair over time. If you are tired of these types of methods, there are also other ways to straighten your hair. It takes a little more effort to straighten your hair without a flat iron or chemicals, but it will be much healthier.

Method 1 of 4: With large rollers

1. Buy some large foam rollers. You can straighten your hair by just twisting in some large foam rollers. This method won't straighten your hair, but the rollers will get rid of small curls and give you soft waves.
   • Buy the largest rollers you can find. Preferably buy rollers the size of soda cans.
   • If you don't mind using hot tools, you can use heat rollers to speed things up a bit. Otherwise, just take foam rollers, but expect to keep them in for a long time.
2. Find some small rubber bands. To straighten your hair with rubber bands you will need a lot of small rubber bands. You will need 10 to 30, depending on how long your hair is.
   • You can take the little rubber bands that you can find in a plastic bag at most drug stores.
   • If you're worried about pulling out your hair with this, you can also get a bunch of wire-wrapped rubber bands or even scrunchies.
3. Set the hair dryer on the cold setting. You can dry your hair with cold air instead of hot air if you want minimal damage to your hair. Of course, your hair straightens much faster with hot air, and it takes a lot longer with cold air, but it does work.
   • Most blow dryers have a cold setting. The button then says "cold" or "cool", or there is a picture of a snowflake next to it.
4. Get a medium or fine-toothed comb. To straighten your hair, you should have a medium or fine-toothed comb, depending on how thick your hair is. This method works well if you have the time to comb your hair until it is dry.
   • For example, if you have to go somewhere by car or bus, you can straighten your hair in the meantime.
   • You can also take a brush if you want, but you may get waves sooner.
5. Comb your hair. Use a comb to distribute the anti-frizz serum evenly throughout your hair and comb out tangles. If you want to straighten your hair with a comb, let it air dry and comb every few minutes until completely dry.
   • Start at the roots and work your way down. When you get to the ends, hold the tuft tight for a few seconds.
   • You can speed up this process a bit by sitting in front of a fan, but then you have to comb your hair continuously until it is dry.
   • Keep combing until your hair is completely dry and straight. Keep in mind that you will probably still have some waves, but it is much steeper than usual.
