Straightening Afro Hair?

Not to be funny, but straight hair on a black man looks CRAZY!! Look at that little dude from Wildn' Out. Prime example. Look at Prince. He's aiight, but still kinda fruity looking. If that's the look you are going for, then OK, whatever floats your boat. If you hate your hair so much, why don't you just get a hair cut, just like the majority of other black men??

Now to answer your question: Yes, you can use a straightening comb. This will only last as long as your next shower. Once naturally curly hair is straightened by non-chemical methods, ie. hotcombs, blow dryers, etc, moisture will revert your hair back to it's natural texture. If you get a chemical straightener, opt for getting it professionally done. For an initial processing, depending on the location of where you live, how long your hair is, and how your want it styled after the chemical is applied, it can run you anywhere between $65-$100. And on top of that, you will need to get your "nappy" hair re-touched at the root every 6-8 weeks, which also is an additional charge.

I would keep the afro because it's probly not worth the extra effort to straighten it every morning. You might want to try one of those hair straighteners and see how it works on your hair, and how long it lasts. If its too much effort, i'd just say keep the afro because they look killer. And i think you can find a hair straightener in the cosmetics isle at most big grocery stores, but i'm not positive.
