yeah she's right...it does damage your hair....in my place not so expensive though..lol. you can try it out once, but you must take care of your hair properly so that it doesn't get too dry. you can ask advice from the hairdresser if you are still not sure

I personally like hair straightened, thats why I have my hair that way. I've seen people switch from curly to straight, and it looks so much better! You should also ask your friends what they think.

Well my friend got it done a few years back. She didn't have to style her hair all that much after she had it done, but her hair was never really all THAT curly to begin with, just a lil puffy/frizzy. I'd say it works decently, but you will still have to fix it up if you want to go out, but for the most parts it's okay I guess. It does do damage to your hair, because just like a perm, they do put chemicals into your hair. I'm not sure how much it costs, I will find out and no its not permanent and the thing that sucks, is once your hair does start growing out you will see your natural curls at the top of your head..maybe not as many, but it will look different to the bottom. I think just like a color job the effect fades with time and doesn't work as good, but if you try taking real good care of it and keeping it moisturized, I believe it would hold its straightness longer. Maybe before you make that decision, try a straightening balm with a nice thin conditioner and brush dry. I'm not sure how curly your hair is though, so thats the only advice I can give :<

I didn't know you could permanently straighten your hair, but I just read there are a lot of bad side effects so I would say you shouldn't. And why did you make the same post twice... was it just a bump or something?

Are you thinking of Japanense Straightening or Thermal Reconditioning? I'm guessing that's what you are refering to. It takes about 4 hours and you go back every 6-8 months for a touch up, but some say its worth it. Still, it is putting chemicals on your hair which can be damaging.

I have to flat iron my hair because permanent treatments don't work on my hair. My hair gets immune to the products. If your hair isn't really curly like mine a permanent will most likely work for you. Just keep in mind if you do get one, be sure to only wash your hair only once a week so your hair won't get so dry and frizzy. Also using a deep conditioner once a week will help with the frizzies too.
