My hair has only got a slight wave in it and the right had side kicks out at the bottom a little. I was told i would receive excellent results from ionic straightening as my hair is not curly and is straight at the top til about half way down. I have never been so disappointed, expecially for the cost ($200 Aus). I have always had to at least blow dry my hair and after 8 weeks i was using my iron.i had previously had the cheaper version done and had better results with this. only cost $80 aus, and took 2 hours instead of 4.

i have one n only but have lost instructions plese give me step by step to the thermalionic permenent straitening system! asap as i have a client for this on friday this week thank you.

I'm a hairdresser in Sydney and use this method. Best results are on virgin hair... still very good results on mildly chemical treated hair... but i don't do hair that has bleach in it,Trust me.

i have the one and only thermal ionic kit and no instructions could u please give me step by step on how to use this

About a year ago, I had the Japanese hair straightening done to my hair. I have to admit, I was actually disappointed. I still had to iron my hair a bit, and it looked fried, but I have to admit it took less time in the morning than it did when I had curly hair. However, 9 months later, it was time to touch up the roots. I must say that the curliness up top is particularly hard to control, because it's so close to the scalp. When I got it done again, some of my hair broke off at the root. It was a small amount, at the nape of my neck and right where I part my hair. These parts are probably the most delicate, because they receive so much weathering. Suffice to say, the part that is still growing back at my crown is extremely annoying. I think I'm over the worst of it- it doesn't really stick out, and it blends with my hair. But when I put it up the hair growing back at my neck stays down, so I have to use a bobbypin to make it stay up.

By now, I miss my curls. I've been re-growing them, but I don't think they'll be the same. From what I've read of the ionic straightening, it's slightly stronger than Japanese. That means more damage. The first time I did Japanese, it fried my hair- and I had pretty healthy hair. The second time I did it, part of my hair actually broke off. I can't imagine the results of the Ionic procedure. My advice is to not get it done. I know it's hard to accept the fact that there is no miracle treatment, and that all we can do is rely on our flat irons, but I think that maybe we should just fight for curly hair. It was cool in the 80's, so why not now? It's the flat iron companies, the chemical hair companies. They want us to pay them outrageous amounts of money for something that we'll never have- pin-straight, healthy, shiny, no-hassle hair. It's a conspiracy. (wow i sound like a nut)

I had the termal ionic treatment done about 8 months ago. I Loved it for the first 2 weeks but now i hate it. It takes me longer to get ready and i always have to flat iron it. I just want my curls back. Would it be ok for me to get a curly prem? I really just want my curls back.

I would like to know if I have not put a thermal ionic straighter in my hair for about 5 months would it be ok for me to go to a relaxer such as Nuexpesssion for black women.

I used to have overprocessed hair that was always frizzy or poofy so I had to use a bunch of product in my hair and spend lots of time on it just to be able to wear it down and have it look decent. I called a few salons to see how much this would cost, I have hair down to my waist, and most quoted me a price range from $500.00 to $700.00 which I thought was outrageous so I decided to call my neice who was not a professional hairstylist and have her help me. It took about 4 hours, and the product (Thermal-Ionic) cost me $30.00. I could not be happier, this is the best thing I have done to my hair since I started processing it, I don't know how but my hair is healthier than it was before, shinier, and definately pin straight with no frizz. Now I get out of the shower, towel dry my hair brush it and I am done, zero maintenance I love it. I do recommend that you follow the instructions step by step and do not take any short cuts. I bought my stuff at Sally's Beauty Supply, or you can get it at Sally's website. Good luck.

I had my hair thermally straightened in March 2008. I had really thick curly hair. My hair was stick straight even when wet. I paid $75 per hour and it took 3.5 hours. It was a long time in the chair but worth it. Arrange for a consultation with the stylist before getting your hair thermally straightened. Ask all your questions and about the process. Make a decision on where you want your part because it creates a cow lick where your hair was parted when it was straightened. This gets better after your hair has grown back in a few inches. Also you want to have very healthy hair. The girl that did mine said my hair was in excellent condition but the little hairs at my neck were severely damaged. Most of my hair has grown back in but my curl is damaged. I have tried several times to get my hair back to my nice full curls but it comes out wavy. My hair dresser said she noticed that it is not as curly as it use to be. I hope after forcing it to go curly for several days it will become curly again. Also you can curl your hair and style it as you wish. Hope this helps.

I got the thermal done a few weeks ago and my hair it not as good as promised. I am actually spending more time to get it to look good. Still have to flat iron all of my hair.

My question - Has anyone seen any sites that address what to do if thermal does not give results?

I have goodled and searched but not finding any good information and thought someone else might have

After the treatment wears off after so many months, and you would like to go back to the natural curls, would there be any affect afterwards. Such as would the curls not be as curly and be more like wavy? Also what is the price range for this treatment?

i have read all of the comments and i would like to know the truth. i have medium thick kinky curly hair. i have to get up 1 hour early every morning just to wash and fix my hair. it takes me 1hour to straighten my hair and it is only shoulder length. it takes me 30 mins to 1hour to make it look good curly. i would straighten it every day but my arms get so tired and my shoulders hurt. what kinda of cost are we talking about and how can i talk to a live person that is going to tell me ALL OF THE TRUTH good and bad. will this cause hair loss? will hair break and look bad? will it make my hair look fried. does it really work. if all the hair doesnt take how long do you have to wait to re-do it. is it worth it what damage does it cause? do you have to use a special shampoo and conditioner? can you be in direct sun light can you still was your hair every day or will the sutff was out? are the chemicals safe? i am very interested if anyone cares. thank you

can you please supply us with the names of the
recommended lotions that contain the ammonium
thioglycolate and the step 2 neutralisers to use
for straightening the hair

Hey, im a guy and, although this sounds odd, i straighten my hair everyday. Im looking for a solution in permanent hair straightening, and i was just curious as to what costs are involved, and how long the permanent hair straightening lasts for (whether over time the bonds between the hair gets weaker)
many thanks

How can I get my tackey curly geriatric hair straight - so I can get a man to tell me they love me?

I just used the ionic hair straightner and my hair looks great. But my hair can really take a beating. It is very thick. Some of my hair is falling out but i shed naturally. There were a few spots on my head that didnt take and i flat iron them. But its great to iron my hair for 5 minutes oppose to one hour. So i am mostly pleased.

I honestly think Chaylene was just allergic to the product. A lot of people say the product worked, a couple say it doesnt. I dont even know what to believe.
