I have used many flat irons but this is the best so far for my hair. It is called the Wigo Pink Zebra 1” Flat Iron. This is what it looks like. I really like the results and my hair has not been this straight in years. I did not pre-straighten my hair with a blow dryer. The photos show my hair after being straightened.

Length Update
I trimmed my hair almost two months ago to get rid of my brittle damaged ends. So, my hair is not much longer. The front of my hair is 6.5 inches. The back of my hair measured from the nape is 6 inches (after trimming it was only 4.75 inches). The back of my hair measured from the crown is 7.5 inches. Although I did not retain much length my hair feels much healthier and stronger. I am no longer using any commercial rinse out conditioners. I am still working on my regimen but that is the biggest change so far. Also, I thought my hair was all 4b but since I stopped using conditioners my hair is now a 4b,4a,3c mix but it is still mostly 4b.
My Coconut and Lime Relaxer Results
The recipe can be found here
I did not use olive oil or cornstarch like the recipe calls for. I left it in my hair for three hours under a plastic cap and scarf. After I rinsed the coconut milk from my hair appeared more shrunken than usual. After towel drying, I applied a tablespoon of olive oil to my hair, detangled with a wide toothed wooden comb, and brushed my hair into a bun. As you can see in the above picture my texture after styling appeared straighter than usual. The results only lasted until my next wash 2 days later.
