I have always wanted to straighten my hair permanently! i hate having to go through the process of waking up super early to straighten my hair with the flat iron. I guess i would consider my hair to be some what long..maybe like down to the middle of my back. I have hawaiian in me, and well lets just say that my hair is curly and doesn't like to work with me. I swear it gets soo poofy after i take a shower!! I want to get my hair permanently straightened but i don't know what to think because some say that it doesn't work and that they aren't satisfied...but some say that it works great! plus my hair kind of..idk its not as pretty as some of the other girls in my school which make me feel kinda self conscious about it and i was thinking of modeling...which is
why i want permanently straighten my hair. soooo my question is IS IT REALLY WORTH IT? SHOULD I CONSDER PAYING SOOO MUCH MONEY TO GET IT PERMED? and SHOULD I KEEP PERMING IT WHEN MY ROOTS GROW OUT?

wow...that was long!

Okay, here it is. Normally my hair is the kind that when I walk out of the shower it fros. After about 30 minutes to even an hour of straigthening, plus sleeking pomade, I still have wings on my bangs, and I have to use quite a bit of the stuff to keep it all down. I've been considering a chemical treatment recently, quite aware of the implications. I'm perfectly fine with getting the special hair juice, since it would save me an hour everyday on trying to style my head, only to have it look bleh for a whole day. My hair is pretty thick and I've never really treated it with any hard chemicals, so I'm pretty confident I can even get it dyed a nicer color before getting it relaxed (although I probably won't.)So I here it is: Would that be a good idea for what I'm looking for (from what I told you)? How much does the operation generally cost? And the hair juice? And say two or three months later my roots are growing out and curly hair is starting to wave up my style, how should I go about fixing that, and how much will my wallet suffer for it?

Helloo,
My hair is really thick and it goes really frizzy and wavey.
It takes me over half an hour-an hour to straighten my hair every morning and thats WITH my mums help!
It really doesn't look nice up or frizzy.
And when I go outside, even if its not humid, it goes frizzy!
So I'm going to try and chemically straighten my hair and I will try and post a comment when I've got it done!

OK my hair is really thick and i want it straight really badly but I have gotten told that my hair would frizz out really bad also. My hair is like shoulder length and curly as ever so if you can help please do and it would help me out a lot before I get it done permently please and thank you

I'm a guy with curly hair. I really want straight hair to try a punk like style. Is it possible? I was just wondering if other guys do it. Also will it make my hair poofy as it already is?

Is it safe to swim in a pool (with chlorine in the water) after a straightening treatment.

Thank you.

i got a permanent relaxer put on my hair and now it wont go back the same curly hair i had before and its been about 10 mounths what do i do?

hi, i have long and very curley hair and i hate them, i thought of having permanent straightening but will there be any side effects, and how long will my hair stay straight and wht i have to do to maintin them?

Ive been talking bout getting my hair chemically straighten for agessssss . but i just have not had the guts to do it yet ! All my friends are telling me it will kill my hair and that i should not , but i am SICK! of straightening my hair everyday. do you think i should get it chemically done ? or just continue with my straighter ? =(

Do just any hairdressers chemically straighten hair or are there certain places you have to go to? If so, could you recommend a few in Sydney?

Hey,
I've been considering getting my hair chemically straightened for ages. My friend just got back from Hong Kong where she got her hair chemically straightened and it looks awesome! I was just wondering, what are the best salons in Sydney to get it done and does your hair grow back the same and healthy once you get the straughtened bits cut off.

Please send me directions on step by step directions on the chi permanent relaxer.I am a cosmetologist.I already did it once with help. Now I need to do a touch up on the same client. I am at a new salon and don't feel comfortable going into the old salon.So I do need directions for a root touch up as well.Thank you

My hair is very, very thick and curly--when I was a kid and my hair was long I'd use a clothes iron to iron to straighten my hair. I recently went through chemo for cancer and my hair fell out--now it's growing back thicker and curlier than ever! Some years ago I tried straightening it with chemicals myself and it relaxed it somewhat--not as much as I wanted but who wants to pay $300 for straightening? I recommend people try the at home product first--it's much cheaper and less harsh. If that doesn't satisfy you, then go to a pro. Just one person's recommendation.....

I used Ionics to straighten my frizzy yet already straight hair, all it has done is made my hair go very dry, its still incredibly frizzy so I continue to use my hair straightener. waste of money time and effort

hi my name is renee
I have massive curly crazy horrible hair and for the last 3 years i have been getting my hair chemically straighten. It is amazing, it is perfectly straight shining and looks really healthy! I get it done in sunnybank and it costs about $300. (my hair is VERY VERY VERY LONG)the only problem i have with it, is that you really do have to get the regrowth done about every six months. I would recommend this process to anyone and everyone. I do have one questions though, does anyone know if you can perm over the top of it once you want to return to curly hair??

Hi guys, I found the Bio Ionic straightening treatment to be fantastic. Its much more affordable now as well - my hair is softer and silkier than before the treatment.

hi person reading this =D

ok well i got my hair chemically straightened and i loved it rite after i left the salon but then my hair started to grow and well i wasn't so happy the curly roots started to come back so now i have to always straighten my hair with a blow dryer and flat iron. if you are going to chemically straighten your hair then you will kinda have to make a commitment to keep straightening it when ever the roots grow back. Its pretty pricy too and i started to miss my curls cause with my hair after it was straighten.... it stayed that way i couldnt curl it or nothing it was pin straight. and my hair was just up to my shoulder and i spent like $170 on it.

well this is all i have to say from experience hope it helps
=]

my hair is kinda stright but it is really puffy and i strighten it every day just to make it strighter but then when i got out side it get frizzy will this work?

hey,
for ages now i have been looking for one type of hairstyle that i would feel good with and that just reli looks good...so that i can feel much better about myself and not spend so long always straightening it...so lately ive been looking over the internet just researching hair and stuff...but its still so hard just to find something i like what I can do with my hair that doesnt cost so much...my hair is always in a bad state even though I look after it and products dont reli work...my hair is frizzy reali boofy...and wavy...but the bad thing is its not wavy wavy so that u can do a 'wavy' hairstyle/cut with it...because then it will look funny coz its not wavy enough...but its not straight either...another probem i have is that it is shorter becuse it is wavoer at the back...i reli dont no wat to do :( and i want to be a model but this is letting down my self confidence so if anyone has any ideas please tell me...i dont like anything tooooo average :)
i think chemically straightening my hair might be the only answer lol...but i live in Australia and would reli like to no how much it costs over here...thanks for reading :)

I have super curly thick hair. If I chemically straighten it, will it ever go back to the way it was? When it grows out, will the curl still be as nice?
