is there any other ways to make my hair straight without straightners or straightning shampo???
No... afraid not, well least none I'd recommend (thinks: chemical straightening)
Hate to sound like an old man but sometimes you just have to make the most of what your given. Stick with it and work with it. If you fancy a chance you can always use a temporary technique like using a set of ceramic straighteners, there's nothing wrong with using them occasionally.
I have to say that I've been using a Conair ceramic straightener just about every day for a few months now and I haven't noticed any damage to my hair at all. My hair can get really frizzy on top, so I just use the flat iron to straighten it out and it works great. My hair is particularly resilliant, I think, but the straightener has temperature settings for all types of hair. I use the highest setting since my hair is so thick.
I've told people that since getting it, it's now the item I'd take with me if I ever got stuck on a deserted island and could only take one thing. I really couldn't grow my hair long without it. My hair would be everywhere.

After I get out of the shower and dry my hair somewhat (I used to use a blowdryer but I realised that might not be good for it in the long run), I wear a tocque for anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. it does not give you hat head like a baseball cap does, due to its loose fit as long as you get one that is not too tight-fitting.
by the way, i'm not sure if americans call a tocque (toque?) something different, but that's what we call it in canada
Interestingly enough, folks in the US have different names for those kinds of caps, depending on what region they come from.
Up here in the upper midwest, we call the either "Watch Caps" or "Sock Caps". Other regions call them "Knit Caps". In the South, where I grew up, they called them "Toboggins". (Which the folks up here find hilarious, because to them, a "toboggin" is a sled)
Well this may not get it perfectly straight but you could blowdry you hair with an ionic hairdryer on either cold (which wouldnt damage it but take ages) or hot (which would get it straighter but may damage it over time. And use a good brush when doing it. I use a remmington bigshot now everyday on cool, makes my hair soo much more shiney and less tangled and more flat (im still growing mine out). If you do this you have to angle the hairdryer down you hair and use the brush to brush it down straight. Short of straightners/chem straightening theres not much you can do...... why do you want you hair straight anyway??...is it just flicking up? or all over..?
changing your definition of straight and accepting your hair as it is.
