Permanently? No. For a reasonable amount of time? Yes.

The reason for this is because as your hair grows, the protiens making up your hair shaft will be in their natural tightly-wound state, resulting in curly hair. Only by breaking the protein bonds and then resetting them into a looser configuration will your hair become straight.

You could visit a salon to have a straightening technique applied. If you are brave or adventurous, you can purchase your own non-professional straightening product (ThermalIonic is a good non-professional brand), get a bottle of straightening shampoo and/or conditioner, and invest in a good ceramic-plate straightening iron (don't use metal--it can scorch your hair, resulting in breakage); ceramic irons that also incorporate "negative ion" technology are the best.
