The way I did it looked clean and I thought it was OK but it involved wetting my hair that was in a ponytail and letting it air dry that way. I did that everyday for the next 17 years and the ponytail kept getting smaller and smaller and tighter and tighter causing headaches because my hair was getting stretched straight and taught. Eventually the strands would snap and were splitting along the way till half my 1 foot length was damaged. : My hair is naturally wavy and curls when long and I wanted straight hair. So, lesson learned now is go with what God gave you. If you have curls coming out of your scalp then go with it and if your hair is naturally straight then go with that. : Marty
