your hair is pulled back, so i can't tell your hair type. roller sets works pretty well for straightening hair naturally

Hi thanks for your reply, thats a overhead view of my hair it isnt pulled back thats brushed forward,

? Hm, well do you have another pic of your hair? Perhaps with it hanging down? Does your naked hair tend to have more ringlets or waves? So far, it looks to be between 2b and 2c

Eh im a male with short hair so can let it hang down if thats what you mean?i will try to get a full on picture of my hair if that would help,i just dont really have the confidence to go to a hair salon i probably would benefit if i did go?

I'm comfortable saying that your hair is between 2b or 2c. Check out this guide to double check!
Hair Types on NaturallyCurly.com

Don't worry about not wanting to go to a hair salon! Most curlies/wavies here at NC.com don't and prefer to trim, cut and/or treat their hair themselves!

Were you hoping to learn how to care for your natural hair? Or were you solely looking to straighten it?

Yes i would like to straighten my haur naturally as best as i can being a male loking to have his hair straightened would be a laugh for some people thats exactly why im her.. I have changed my profile picture yo more front picture if you want to take a look..thanks

I've heard of using coconut milk and lime juice, but idk how effective that would be. Maybe try this question in the 2a, 2b or 2c thread...?

If you don't mind me asking, why do you want to straighten your hair? Do you plan on keeping it straight every day?

Thanks ill read up abiut that..i would prefer it to be straighter and mire managable so i can style it certain ways and id say it would look a whole lot better too..im just fed up with my hair style same old one everytime..

My brother has a very similar wave pattern to yours, and I remember how hard it was for him. Good luck finding a routine that gives you the results that you're looking for.
