Why does my hair do this????

I have the same problem. Try getting straightening shampoo and conditioner too. Yes dry your hair first with a large round brush, or a vented brush. Also you may want to set your straightener higher, mine is on 10. and do smaller strands of hair, not so thick, it may take longer, but it will work. Do it before you go to bed and you will only have to do a little the next morning. Good luck and let me know if I helped any.
