Hair Question

[Cribal]

My best friend has hair just like you have described. She goes to a salon every 4 to 6 months and get a straightning perm put in her hair. It can be expensive since you have to go so ofter but she hates her hair if it's not straightned. He hair stays straighter and lays flatter than mine now. She use to do an at home perm also that was a straightning perm.

She has also told me that some of the top of the line salons have a more perminant one that your only suppose to have to do each year. But you pay for it.

Hope some of this helps.

Oh, my friend got a straightening perm!!!!!!! Her hair was SO wavy beforehand that she could not even straighten it with a flat iron! The straightening perm worked miracles. She never had to worry about her hair for at least 6 months. She gets it redone every 6 months.

NO sympathy here from someone with stick-strait hair who has always wanted curls....

Around here the thing you always hear about is Japanese Hair Straightening. It is supposed to last a long time and not damage your hair... and I think it is really expensive.... not that I would know the details...

I just started a thread about this BEFORE I read it. Looks like this is helping a lot. I had thought about a straightening iron but I have no clue where to start. I don't want one that isn't going to work. SO any brands that are better. I would like to try the iron before getting it straightened at the salon...

My hair isnt curly but its thick and wavy. I use a straightening iron everyday, and WOW, what a huge difference! My hair even feels silky after I use it. (I never knew what THAT felt like before) I have two flat irons. One is 1" the other is 2" wide. I don't think there is any reason to spend the big bucks. Just make sure the heat is adjustable and that the paddles parts that touch your hair are ceramic. I think each of mine were under $30.

Have you tried a product called bed head?

I think I tried something like that but it left my hair kind of sticky. I found this product from Loreal Vive, it called Smooth-Intense Anti-Frizz creme. It works pretty good and doesn't leave my hair stiff or sticky. I have been using it for the past week and so far I am pleased. I just hope my hair doesn't get "immune" to it. Don't you just hate when your products all of a sudden stop working?
