Hair Straightening Help?

I have really thick hair and my layers start above my ear, so it looks really bad when i dont straighten it. But when i do straighten it, it seems like all these little hairs just stick straight out on all the layers, and i look like a porcupine! I have used countless hair straightening products, including shampoos and conditioners. I cant blow dry my hair, because it seems like each hair inflates when i do, and it is really hard to straighten, or even put into a ponytail. I use a Hot Tools Ceramic Straightener, and i dont know what the problem is. It didnt use to be this hard to manage. Help!

that used to happen to me! and it sounds like we kind of have the same cut.so some things i changed were to:

*make sure your straightner is really hot before you begin straightening

*keep your head straight while you straighten, and kind of bring the straightner in towards your head .

*once you done straightening if theres still hair sticking up, put some straightening serum or smoothing milk on your hair, and that should make your hair not stick out as much!

*oh, and you could also try spraying hairspray on a toothbrush, and brushing down the little flyaways!

Garnier Fructis smoothing milk works good to keep the hair down
