I have African-American hair, but I'm also half Irish. I try straightening my hair with the straightening serum from Mixed Chicks and it works awesome, but it doesn't maintain itself for more than a day. Any suggestions for help?

Chi Silk infusion , wrap your hair at night and blow dry first then flat iron rather then air dry

I'm black and Irish French and Indian so I'm not sure if it would work but if the chi doesn't work try garnier frutise straightening spray it works well too
