My sister straightened the hair for me today and i was really happy with the results, but i'm not gonna do it too often because it may damage the hair alot, only for special occasions.
Here are the pics:

I can't see the pic at the moment but i'm sure it gave good results. BUT, knowing how much you value your hair and want it to grow well, I strongly caution against straightening (assuming you mean with staightening irons?). Of all the abuse and torture I have put my hair through over the years, straightening is far and away the worst and most damaging - I don't even have curly hair! I just do it to smooth down my already straight hair and get that shine and silkiness. But I hardly ever do it because it really does have a detrimental effect on my hair.
