I've never heard of a natural straighten their hair without heat (stretch yes, but straighten, no).I see allot of girls doing wet wraps, but I can't even wrap my hair dry.
I see rollersetting, and wraping, but again I can't wrap my hair.
Anyone have any clues or tips?
yeah my only answer
is
you dont
Air drying a roller set can get hair pretty straight at least for type 3 curl pattern. I don't know if that can work for type 4s though.Well, since you want a straight look, you'll have to learn to rollerset (on a cool setting) or wrap.
I've seen some really great type 4 silk wraps. Roller sets work great for type 4 hair as well.Natural hair can be straightened with no heat if your hair texture is in the 3 curly / wavy range, you simply rollerset, wrap and voila! This can be done airdried.
If you're in the 4 tightly coily range, the only way you can straighten your hair without heat is if it has already been chemically processed to be straight when wet, in that state, you can get heatless straight hair. Now there are ways to elongate or stretch type 4 hair like twist-outs, braid-outs and banding but its still a textured look and wont result in pin straight hair.
However, if you're a 4a silky, its very possible for you to get your hair straight with a rollerset and wrap heat free.
African threading straightens hair somewhat...(and since you said no heat) relaxers do too.
I love familygoingnatural!^^^Please post the link because I have yet to see one that was worth the effort I always end up looking it the video like all that manipulation just to put the same amount of heat anyway
There are definitely type 4s who have the silky kind of hair that will slick down easily into a roller, like if you remember RobotXcore's professor, familygoingnatural on youtube, those type 4 ladies can get their hair straight in a rollerset. Or marand, her hair is more wavey and her texture has been loosened from multiple henna's she gets smooth rollersets........but have you ever seen a 4a coily natural with hair that has a tendency to be dry and hair that wont slick down do a successful rollerset? I know I sure haven't, I'd love to see that:scratchch

I'm all over the boards and can't always remember who and what I saw where but i can do some searching because I know what I'm looking for and I'll send you some links.
I'm familiar with her, she's a beautiful lady, gorgeous hair, but she's definitely a softer silkier hair texture then what I was referencing.I don't know if she has the texture you're looking for because I'm not good at hair typing.

It's not bone straight of course but you could silk wrap it and silken it out further.
I'll post more when I have time to search.....that's if you're interested.
