tips on straightenning my hair? tips that really work?

ok my hair is like a perm on steroids when i dont straighten it, i got bad luck from the gene pool, its really bad. i need it straight, i have scene hair (heres a pic thats similar: http://newhaircolors.net/scene-girl-hairstyles.htm... and it looks CRAZY when i dont straighten it. i know how to tease it and make it look good so i dont needtips on that, but what i do need is how to make it straight and keep it straight. i have an old cheap connair straightener (i cant get a new one until at least Christmas so i need help) i have tryed multiple products (including jon frieda 3 day straight, garnier and redeken smoother) and they often make my hair oily. my mom wont let me get a keratin treatment and im broke so that wont work. i need really easy tips that will really help. and please explain them like you are talking to an idiot because you kind of are; i am really bad at straightening hair so yeah. also, how can i do it faster? i take over an hour and the results dont even look that good.

Update:

ok i need tips on actually straightenning it, ik i should blow dry it before, and products always make my hair greasy and i cant go shopping for them right now and i want to get my hair straight for tomorrow. i need tips on how i can straighten it to make it really straight. my hair has been looking really bad lately so i need to get it flat.

    ok well with my hair its not crazy but it gets frizzy really easy especaially when i get out of the shower. so if youre getting ready in the morning take a shower the night before straighten/blowdry it and then straighten it again in the morning, but be sure to use heat protectant.

    also to get it straighter you can use certain shampoos that will help make it straighter. Dont use cheap or regular brands. for ex. suave pantene herbal essences etc. use professional brands for best results, although they can be pricy.

    also you can try a pomade for after you straighten it. I use wen and it works for me.

    but other than that you can use hair spray or just get a stright perm lol.

    but i hope i helped :)

    You don't need all of those products here is one of the most simple tips i can ever give you. Blow dry your hair before you flat iron it I have curly hair and it never fails when i do it now with other textures of hair i am not sure but it should do the same if not better for you. Just try it out
