here's the bottom line. getting your hair chemically straightened is just like dying it...if you pay enough money to get it done professionally at a place that you trust then it will probably come out better than if you try to go the cheap route. of course anything you do to your hair is going have a chance of being damaging, so it depends on your hair texture. you need to evaluate if your hair can stand the process and how much you're willing to pay/who will be doing it.

okay im 15 and my hair is outrageously curly and i wash my hair alot on the weekends and about 2 times during the week.i look so beutiful with strait hair and if i even dare go to school with curly hair i would want to die bcuz its so hideous!!! i want to chemically straiten it and i hate how everyone says its bad for you... does it work or not? someone pleas tell me about the good and the bads about it and wat i should do pleeeaase!!!

OMG! Now i may be only 11 but i care a lot about my hair. My hair is thick... wavy and ugly on top while on the bottom it's curly and beautiful. I have a side bang but when it is straight... IF I BREAK A SINGLE SWEAT IT GOES CURLY! I'm sick of this! I don't know what to do. should i try to chemically straightening it?

I personally wouldn't recomend getting your hair straigtened..my hair was frizzy and had a bit of wave so after paying 150$ to fix this, it fell out within a week. I even waited to wash it for 3 days..it was a complete waste of time and money!

i got my hair chemically straightened when i was younger, like in middle school/ late elementary school and since then my hair has ceased to grow. it stayed straight for maybe a month, if that. it was the worst thing taht i have ever done in my life and i do no recommend it to anyone. my hair now does not grow more than maybe 1/2 an inch a year and if i get anything done to it with chemicals like coloring or straightening or relaxing, my hair will fall out or break into pieces. i hope you all know what you are getting yourselves into.

Well i'v just had my hair chemically straightened, and personally i regret it. My hair fells like straw and sticks out everywhere. I wouldn't get it done again.

I have had my hair chemically straightened for the past 2 years now. It is great. Imagine waking up every day an hour later than usual because you have not got the rigmerole of having to straighten it!!! It is costly but defo worth every penny in my opinion!

DO NOT GET YOUR HAIR CHEMICALLY STRAIGHTENED! I had it done when I was 14 I loved it however you still have to straighten your hair at the time i didnt care because I didnt even straighten it before I just did the whole gel thing and scrunched it. Anyways I'm now 18 my hair has been trimmed several times each time its shorter and shorter I realised my hair actually hasnt grown since! Iv been tryin despratley to grow it but it is impossible. My splits are herondous I think about having them trimmed off but I hate it cos like I said my hair doesn't grow. not only this but my hair is so weak if i put it up when i take it down half hair comes out aswell. I wake up to a fresh clump of hair on my pillow every morning and on top of all this my hair is still getting shorter cos it wont stop breaking. I cannot tell you what a mistake you are making if you have done. Sure its lovley for the first 9 months then you watch the distress show through. I know i'm going on but if this stops just one person having it done that good enough.

Im 14 and my hair is basically Very Very Thick LONG FRIZZY curly and the only way to actually get my hair to curl is every morning using 5 different products...
I straighten my hair all the time and I have a chi straightner but it still takes like an hour to two hours...
I originally thought of thinning my hair to keep the curls... which has a lot less damage to the hair.. but apparently my hair is to "Frizzy" and "Thick" to Thin...
So now, I am really considering getting my hair permanently straightened but in a couple of the articles i read it said stuff about hair breaking or falling out/balding after a year duration because the chemicals weakened the hair roots or something..
My Mom is very apposed to the idea.. and I think any further damage to my hair would be the decided factor on wether to permently straighten my hair or not...
I am worried about the damage if someone doesn't know what they are doing.. if anyone who has perviously had there hair permanently straitened can tell me about it.. (Pros and Cons..) That would be great..

I believe that there is a product called "Henna" and it's herbal natural plant in the UAE that make your hair stright for ever it won't hurt your hair and it will make your hair stronger than before but its color is black !!! am thinkink to use it but i don't want may hair be black so am still not sure am searching for a chemichally product that strighten my hair for ever i hope i can find it if you know any thing please let me know thanks for reading

I have extremly curly frizzy thick thick hair and I hate it but pol really like it I don't kno why I think it is ugly and even when I take the hours I need to straighten it it will still be frizzy and have a wave to it by the time I get to school. Me an my friend were talking bout this prosses today but I DO NOT want to kill my hair and I DO NOT want it falling out I am 14 so I need to know how much if is if I should do it and will it kill my hair?

hey im 15 and ive never dyed my hair before so its pretty healthy..but i do striaghten it a lot. i have a lot of split ends so i try to just leave it curly once in a while. i heard about chemically straightening your hair about 2 years ago and ive always wanted to do it. i hate straightening it all the time because it takes about an hour even with the Chi (best straightener ever). my mom and my hair stylist told me that chemically straightening my hair isnt healthy..but at this point i could care less. it sucks going into the pool with straight hair and coming out with frizzy curly hair. and i have side bangs that look bad when they are curly..so i always have to straighten them which makes them frizzy at the ends. i really want to have straightened hair for the whole summer, especially when i go on vacations because my mom wont let me bring her chi. FOR THOSE WHO HAVE CHEMICALLY STRAIGHTENED THEIR HAIR BEFORE---please give me advice/feedback!!

i hv straight hair but then too il lyk to get itstraightened chemically .shall i go fr it?

I recently found a great chemical free tea tree shampoo – which really helped me grow stronger hair –its from the Made from Earth product line called the Tea & Protein Herbal Shampoo….it actiallu has wheat proteins in it and that’s what makes my hair look so full after I use it.

The directions say for the shampoo to work – you have to leave in your hair for 2 - but I usually do it for about 5, since my hair used to be so thin. But 5 minutes really works for me cause I can see a major difference in how thick my hair is…

Even my husband comments on how my hair felt better – and he never notices anything! I recommend it for all healthy women out there who want better full hair.

Basically i relaxed my hair and it didnt really work, a month later i relaxed it again and its still a bit frizzy. The quality of my hair didnt change... in fact it became softer. I straighten my hair twice a week with a flat iron, my hair is still pretty smooth but i have split ends big time. Ive also Dyed my hair and its still kind of smooth but at smooth as it was. At the moment (when i havent ironed my hair) the roots are frizzy and the rest is wavy/curly. Can i permanantly straighten my hair without it falling out??

jenny: ok first of all your hair will fall out, BUT ONLY if it is done wrong. make shure you go to a japanese salon and the person it certified and is a professional. also after you get the chemical DO NOT WATER OR COMB OR DO ANYTHING TO IT. If you do it will fall out. so yes its ok to get the chemical but make shure its done right.
