What are the best chemical straighteners???

I have very very curly hair and it is extremely thick. I have been using straighteners on my hair for several years and have tried both having it professionally done and doing it myself at home. If you want to have it professionally done, the best straightener product is Paul Mitchell. The best straightener I have used at home is Motions. It can be found at beauty supply stores. I purchase mine at Sally's Beauty Supply. Both of these seem to be the least harshes on the hair. Don't leave it so dry and brittle. But I do not recommend that you do home straighteners unless you know or have worked with them before and your hair is in excellent condition. Staighteners can be very damaging to your hair. Unfortunately, because of the chemicals in straighteners and perms, you are not going to get away from the smell. Staighteners, like any other product you place on the hair to chemically treat last until new growth appears. With straighteners, depending on the rate of your growth, need to be reapplied to the roots or new growth every 6-8 weeks. If you have wavy hair, I would recommend that you use a perm to straighten your hair rather than a chemical straightener. It is less harmfull and will probably give you the effect you are looking for. Instead of curling it, you comb it through to the ends for the time stated.
