How to get silky and managable hair from a flat iron for African-American hair?

I have African-American hair and when i flat iron my hair it doesnt really look silky at all. Should i use a hot comb instead or is there some kind of hair product i should apply to hair before flat ironing it so it would come out silky straight ? Also, does anyone know any hair vitamins online that can help my hair grow ?How to get silky and managable hair from a flat iron for African-American hair?
It's best if you use a flat iron with ceramic plates instead of metal. Metal cooks the hair from the outside in making it dry, brittle and damaged. Ceramic does the opposite. Also, I use Patene for women of color, shampoo, conditioner, leave-in conditioner, and hair mask. It works great.How to get silky and managable hair from a flat iron for African-American hair?
Im sorry. The composition of your races hair won't get really straight unless you have the best straightener out there. Sorry, try a perm.

For those of you with fine or thin hair, roller sets are your answer!! Whereas blowdrying and flat ironing can often times lead you with flat, dry hair, roller sets are just the opposite.











Here's why: when you roller set, you're setting rollers at different positions all over your hair directly from the scalp. This is causing volume.











Instead of your hair being blow straight down like a blow dryer, your hair dries somewhat going ';out.'; A longer lasting effect than flipping your head over and swinging your hair around! (I wouldn't recommend that!)











Now for those of you who already have plenty of volume and don't consider this a benefit of roller setting - don't fear! You have options, too.











Simply wrap your hair and place saran wrap around it. Go back under the dryer for 10-15 minutes. Voila. Silky smooth hair with less volume. Less Heat
