How do i get my hair to look like this? (Peyton Sawyer from OTH)?

Her hair is actually naturally straight, her stylists used a bunch of really small curling rods and/or irons.

it could be a perm but more likely thats the work of a good stylist, a 1 or 1 1/2 in curler and a lot of hairspray.

that's no perm. that's all natural! very few people can pull it off and let me tell you....my friend got a perm once and she was blonde and it looked terrible! she is a pretty girl but you just have to have the right face shape for it and everything and it takes forever to get the curls out of your hair. so if you are thinking about going the perm route....DON'T.

Hi! Well my hair is pretty thick too, and if you cut your hair that short, it will make it thicker. It is hard to find a straighter that will actually work well on typically thicker hair for under $20. My straightener works very well on my thick, wavy hair, but it was fairly expensive. It is a small, black Chi. :]
