You can use a big curling iron - but this really damages your hair.
I recommend watching this video:

It won't damage your hair if you use a good heat protectant beforehand. I've heard coconut oil is excellent for that, as it can withstand heat up to 500F.

It won't be as bad as it would be without heat protectant yes. I've flat ironed my hair once a day, for 2 years with heat protectant but my hair is as thin, breaky, split ended as it could possibly be. And yes, I do take good care of my hair, except for using so much hot tools on my hair.

Have you tried using the sock technique? My hair is naturally thick and I find putting it up in a bun like this tutorial does wonders the next day. I never have the time to use tools for my hair, so natural ways like this, is always a sneaky trick. Give it a shot!
