I've found the best thing to do is use a shampoo and conditioner that super moisturize your hair, and right after the shower use a leave in conditioner. If at all possible let your hair air dry as much as you can and blow dry what's still wet. They make a great blow dryer with a comb attachment that works great. Make sure your hair is TOTALLY dry or you risk hair damage. Then work in sections with the flat iron to get all the waves/curls out.
If you don't want to use a flat iron all the time you can try a chemical process. There is a great product called Easy Straight for at home use... but do not try it if you're not good at at home things like that. And if you do use it, do NOT leave it on any longer than what the directions say!!! It will not make your hair straighter only cause damage. For people with really curly hair you may just end up with less curl and frizz... but I repeat, don't leave it on longer. After the treatment take very good care of your hair by conditioning and using leave in conditioner and don't use heat on it till the package says so.
