I blowdry and strighten. I have curly hair and it tends to frizz a lot so i strighten it. I use the aussie moist shampoo and conditioner so if i do damage it then that helops keep it from being dry and breaking. Then i blow dry it and get it fairly straight. Then i have a strightener that has this ionic thing that helps your hair so it doesn't "fry" it, as you put it. Really it shouldn't fry it. If you have moist condiotionmer or something for dry hair then you should be fine with all that you do.

The one my mom has runs pretty hot, but it has never singed my hair. I have the best hair out of most of my family members.

Okay, okay......Since you obviously don't want to damage your hair NEVER, NEVER chemically straighten, or straight iron your hair, NEVER. I have done this and even in small dosages (however it is correctable) it will damage your hair. Now that I've made that clear, If your hair is thick blow-drying alone will not do it (and even if its not, this is the probably the best way of going about it, assuming you want to cause no damage) Get some heat protecting, straightening serum (found at drugstores $2-$6), and an Ionic hair dryer (the cheapest I've seen is $15 @ Amazon.com) After you wash your hair, towel dry it a bit, you don't want to start going with the hair dryer when you have a soaking mop on your head. Comb your hair out. Lean over like you're bowing and brush your hair down over your face. You will need some kind of large brush, I haven't found any real difference in effectivenes (I prefer round). Start Blow drying your hair from the base of your neck, brushing the whole time, blow drying your whole head. I guarantee sleeky straigtness. It also helps to use a 'de-frizzy' or 'sleek' shampoo and conditioner. If you have any further questions, email me. I hope this is helpful.

It really depends on your hair type, but if it is pliable, relatively healthy and not coarse, wash condition it with Paul Mitchell's Super Skinny Shampoo and Conditioner, rub a bit of Super Skinny serum in it (it works miracles) or their straightening gel (a bit stronger) and just blow dry it with a good, large round ceramic-base boar hair brush. Blow dry your hair all over first, flipping your hair over and getting all the roots, then switch to a "warm" setting or a lower intensity blast of air and do some fine brushing/drying. When your hair is finally completely dry, blast it with cold air (it seals the cuticle and makes it glossy). That is how you avoid straightening, and ultimately damaging your hair a lot faster than you normally would. My hair goes down to my tailbone and I used to suffer from damaged, dry hair before I stopped straightening and just used my blowdryer.
