Takes 2 hours to straighten my hair. Late to school

Every school day, I have to straighten my hair and put so much hairspray my hair is stiff as a block (I'm serious about this its stiff.. except the block thing. Or else my skull would be broken). It takes me two hours to straighten my hair and I keep getting late to school. Actually, it takes me one hour and forty five minutes. I wake up at 6 AM and start straightening my hair around 6:12 AM because it takes me a while to get up. I have to leave the house at 7:30 AM but I end up leaving around 7:45 or 7:50 AM and getting late. I'm a male by the way. People say I look hot with my hair straightened (girls) and guys like it too. When I don't straighten my hair, it's wavy and very very very puffy.

I use Sunsilk Straighten-up shampoo and conditioner and the cream in case you need to know.

I cover my right eye with my bangs in case you need to know. I used to cover my left eye..

What do I do? My right side is always hard to straighten for some reason BTW.. I have to find the right way to hold the straightener since I don't know why but it's easier to straighten my left side. It used to be my left side that bothers me but now it's my right side. Sometimes one layer when I straighten it, it puffs out.

What is it that you are trying to ask/need help with?

How can I straighten my hair faster?

You could shave it off!
If you feel the need to straighten it everyday, you should look at getting the permanent chemical straightening - I don't know if that's what it is actually called.

Um, that's not what I would like to do. I like my hair straightened.. I like my hair being different from other guys.. while other guys get up and go to school without even noticing the existence of their hair.

Btw, isn't permanent straightening quite expensive? I've heard it is.

If you don't want to straighten your hair everday then get a different hair style. There isn't much of any other choice.

Get up earlier if it means that much to you

... I'm not reading any more answers since none of you are any much help.

You need to get a cut/style that suits your hair type if you want easy maintenance. Obviously your style is high maintenance, so you have to accept that it takes you two hours, or spend the money on permanent straightening.
If you didn't use so much product then you might be able to get away with not having to wet or wash your hair everyday. I straighten mine and it stays good for three days.
Are you using decent straightening irons? Some of them don't keep the hair as straight and take longer to straighten.

We are just giving you the truth... If you don't want to deal with straightening you hair then choose a different hair style.

Go to bed earlier, and get up earlier so you have more time... simple depending on how much dedication you have

Excuse me? They are trying to help you, but you are not liking the answers you get.

The simple answer to your question is get up earlier. If you like your straight hair that much, get up 15 minutes earlier.

Maybe you could try a ceramic hair straightener.
Vidal sasson and Marcel make some good ones.

If it takes you 2 hours to straighten your hair, try using a bigger flat iron. The wider unit flat irons will work faster and save you time. Make sure you use the proper temperature setting for your hair type. If you want a smoother look, try applying a serum to your hair before you straighten it.
