You know, they stay short and kinda curley. I’d prefer them long and straight. Is there anything I could do to make my pubes grow really long? Some topical application? Anything? ---

If you tried a straightening iron, you might crimp something unintentionally. I think your best option is to shave them, then take your pick from the many styles on offer in the pubic hairpiece catalogues. ---

[QUOTE=ScareyFaerie] Have you tried washing them and blow-drying them straight? [/QUOTE] Well, I wash them every time I shower, but I’ve never tried blow-drying them. My Barber tells me that blow-drying your hair is bad for the follicles, and should be avoided if possible. ---

He probably thinks you’d blow-dry them too hot, you need to use the cool setting then you won’t damage them. And don’t forget the deep conditioning treatment to keep them glossy. ---

You can straighten your pubes by talking sternly to them in a public place. Try it. ---

Dude, try what you want, you can’t make them straight. They’re just born that way, whatever some quacks and religious zealots try and tell you. ---

Why do you want them long? Are you planning to braid them or something? Corn rows, maybe? ---

Do you live near a mall? They all seem to have that cart that sells [extentions](http://www.export-forum.com/china/china-synthetic-hair/images/curly-hair-extensions.jpg). Sure it’s cheating, but only you will know! ---

First you have get a [straightener.](http://www.folica.com/hair_straighteners.htm) Then a hot comb. Then an anvil.
