I have curly hair as well, and I know exactly how you feel. I invested in a Chi (the straightening iron) and it has made a world of difference for me. With curly hair, it tends to not be as oily, and you can straighten it and be good for a few days before you need to wash it again. After some practice I was able to straighten mine in about 15 minutes, and I have hair that is down to my mid back.
