These hair straightening tips may not achieve the pin straight look you get with the iron but its fairly straight.
1. Where those curlers at ?
Curlers can help a lot if you wanna straighten and style it without any damage. It is one of the famous hair straightening technique. After you shower, remove any tangles from your hair, apply some leave-in conditioner if your hair is too frizzy. Then take your hair in sections, comb them smoothly and now roll them using the curlers. Opt for bigger curlers for less waves. Make sure your hair is wet during this process.

3. Use the help of elastics
This is another useful technique to have soft and manageable hair. After your shower, when the hair is still wet, comb it, see that there aren’t any tangles, use any heavy conditioner or you can use a little bit of coconut or olive oil. Then part your hair into two sections and tie them with elastics. Basically pigtails. After that add elastics to your entire hair, leaving an inch of gap. Leave the hair in this way overnight. Remove the elastics in the morning. However, make sure you aren’t fastening the elastics too tight, for they will create waves in the hair.
