Has this ever happened to you?
If so, did you find out the reason? And what did you do about it?
Thanks

Hmmm.......
Here's the thing: I want to get my hair straight just so that I can pull it back in a phony-tail or bun. With that said, greasy hair would actually be better for me. But I still don't want it hard. I was thinking about using a bunch of Mango Butter before blow-drying and then flat-ironing it. Do you all think this will make my hair hard? Should I just use a light leave-in even with the blow-dry?

oh ok, u know, I really forgot u are natural. u are using it to stretch your hair long enough to attach a phonytail? If so I THINK u MIGHT be able to get away with blow drying only.
I went through a period where I was nearly natural, I had about an 2-3 inches of relaxed hair and the rest was natural and it was about 6 months of new growth because I hadnt relaxed it in that long. It took work but at the time I was just fed up with my hair and didnt know what to do with it so I would wash it and use any and every tool I could to get it up into a teenyweeny ponytail to attach hair. When it was wet, I would put some oil and gel in it, then comb it up into a ponytail and use haircombs,bobbypins to hold the hair that wasnt long enough. I would tie it down till it dried and it worked fairly well. I was alternating between just tracks of hair wrapped around into a phony pony and drawstrings but I was afraid the drawstring would blow off my head! haha.
Anyway, my point of all the rambling is since I could get mine back even without heat, the blow dryer alone might get it easy enough to manage for u to pull it up.
I would try using just a leave in and some oils, along with a straightening/relaxing balm to help straighten it while blow drying. either that or airdry then flat iron.
