curly to straight

I have wavy hair and i want it completely BONE straight for a long peroid of time. Does anyone have any suggestions or names of anything i can use? iF you do i really appreciate the help THANX!!!!!

HI everyone... I had my cottonball curly in some places wavey and straight in other places hair straightened with the CHI system. I didn't do a lot of research before cuz I trust my hair stylist and she did a great job! My hair has never looked better. I never want my old hair back. I am even bumbed cuz the most curly part of my hair is kinking a little but not noticible. Good Luck with what ever you do with your hair but I agree ...once yo go straight you wont go back. If anyone in south western Florida needs someone to talk to about hair straightening and someone who will do it let me know. I would suggest my stylist to anyone. She sat with me for over an hour deciding what to do....Good Luck.

Hi I am thinking about straightening my permed hair and wondered what the best way to do this would be without damaging it anymore than it already is. I have grey hair at 25 and color it every 4 weeks when regrowth is noticeable. I had this perm back in April and my hair still isn't back to being really healthy. I try to do my permed hair straight and since it is a little damaged it frizzes really easily.

If I straighten my hair with another perm will it take out the frizziness and make it easier to do my hair straight?

Please help. :)

Journalist looking for chemical straightening stories, particularily new japanese method. Especially want to know what happens when done to hair already colored, permed, or relaxed.

Please reply to straighthair@abctv.com and I will give you direct contact info!

I have been a hair stylist for 12 years and have a question about straightening natural curly hair.

I have a cousin who wishes hor her hair to be straight. She had tried using an over the counter straightener (for ethnic hair) and of course, it fried it and it has been two months since she has done this.

Can I do a straightener on her hair? And, if I can, what is an inexpensive way to get this done (her grandma is taking care of her and her siblings and does not have a lot of money)?

Please let me know! She is so sweet and it want to help her feel good about herself again.
Thank-you for any help,
Beth

i have a perm as well that i hate!! you mentioned (Lilbeach) to use another perm to straighten it. How does that work, does it damage the hair and does it matter that my hair was colored the beginning of May and permed the beginning of April?

I have been researching the Thermal straighting world and I ahve decided on Bio-onics. There system, although expensive, appears to cause less damage.

For straightning a perm, you should just use another perm. Thermal hair straightners are for naturally curly hair, which is a whole different animal.

I am just wondering, What system was used to staighten you hair?

I recently have had the japanese straightener at a salon. It took 5-6 hours. I had frizzy curly hair and now it is poker straight with just 5-10 minutes of easy blowdrying and no product. I would highly recommend it. I just spent 4 days in humid Florida and my hair did not frizz at all. And when it rains, it doesn't move either. It's a miracle. However it was pretty expensive, about $600 plus tip.

No no Lyris, you didnot.
Nice weekend to ya all too.
Cheers
