Yes, you can straighten your hair with the items that are used for curling hair. The products you need are a gentle shampoo, a leave-on moisturizing conditioner, hair gel, 2-inch hair rollers (12 pieces), end papers, roller pins, medium-tooth comb and wide-tooth comb.

The first step to make your hair straight is to wash them. Apply the shampoo and rinse well. While damp, divide your hair into six sections. Apply the leave-on conditioner on all sections. Start with the tips and end with the roots. Apply liberal amounts of conditioner on your hair. Should you come across with knots, detangle them with a wide-toothed comb. Get rid of the excess moisture on your hair by placing a dry, smooth towel on your head. One you have removed the excess water, you need to divide your hair again, now into two parts.

After doing so, you need to apply leave-on conditioner on your hair again the same method you did last time (from tips to the roots.) Comb your locks with a wide-toothed comb. You then need to apply setting gel to the first section of your hair with the use of a medium-toothed comb. Put the end paper underneath your hair. Get your roller and roll it around your hair, beginning with the tips. Be careful in rolling your hair; make sure that they lay smoothly on your rollers. Keep the roller in place with the help of roller pins. Repeat this step for the remaining section of your hair.

Style your hair with giant rollers to get a big and smooth waves

The way on how you use the roller will affect the way your hair looks. If you use a roller towards your face, you will have an illusion of lengthened hair. But if you roll your tresses towards your head, you will give your hair the body it deserves.
