Easy Hair Styles?

I have hair that is 4 or 5 inches past my shoulder. The only problem is that it takes me about an hour and a half to straighten my hair because it is so wavy and so thick. ( i blow dry first and then straighten it with a flat iron)



So I'm looking for ideas on how I can wear my hair down and minimize the time it takes me to do it. It already scrunches well but I need another way to get it straight with out it taking so long..if their is one...Easy Hair Styles?
wrap your hair at night, alot of black women do it to prevent breaking. you wrap then cover with a silk or cotton bandana and the heat from your head should slowly straighten it out. hope this helps.http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;/a>Easy Hair Styles?
I always say that your hair will do what it will do. So instead of fighting with it, let it be as it is. Make sure it's moistureized and tamed. I always like when someone with beautiful hair side sweeps their crown or bangs, with it tucked behind the ears or pinned back. You can leave the back down. It looks neat and polished.
