Straightening product for curly hair

Hi all. I have curly/wavy hair that, although it looks straight immediately after straightening, has kinks and waves within a few hours- even if I’m just sat at my desk! Worse if humidity in the air. Anyone used anything with a similar hair type that really works to keep it straight?

No ideas but following as I have the same problem

Keratin treatment aka Brazilian blow dry. Smoothness lasts months

Thanks @butterflyfox, I actually wanted something less permanent if possible as I do like to have the option of curls. Is this asking for the moon on a stick?!

Can you embrace your curls ? Harder I know that dealing with them when they’re straight !

Why not just stop straightening it?

Yep, you need a keratin blow dry.

I’ve been using this for a few months now, it’s not perfect but my hair is much better than before.

I do, but I’ve just had a load cut off (so it’s all the same length and to get rid of dry/damaged bits) and honestly I’m not a fan of it curly this short. I liked it curly when it was longer

Try adding a little bit of hair oil to the mid section and ends. My hairdresser does this when doing my hair and it works for me at home after straightening. I like to use Bumble & Bumble Invisible Oil but you can get any similar product.
