Hey guys, I did not mean to sound as if I own the site or anything but once on fitness discussion board a guy wanted some information and pictures about fitness for his homepage. I knew a few sites (since I spend a lot of time on the net LOL) so I supplied him with addresses on the board and then I had someone accusing me of “stealing” copy righted picture and informations and all I did was gave him the site addresses which can be found on the net anyhow.
That is all flaks and I am SORRY
There are a lot of funny animated things on that site. Personally I love the creatures.
Hey LiliBeach, your new sunshine icon is cool and goes well with your name.
Cheers

The carrot is from animationfactory.com. Great site! I use their cute graphics all the time (my favorite is the one with the tossed salad that "tosses" itself.) :-)

I have myself wavy/curly hair and I have had it chemically straightened many times in the last three years. The results were different from one treatment to another even in the same saloon.
The very fist time I had it done was dead straight and I just couldn’t believe it was my hair it was healthy looking and I did not even have to style it after the shower, towel dry and it was like WOW, is this my hair
Had it done again in a different place but did not work as good as the first time so I went to the same saloon that I had it done for the first time but again it was NOT like the first time!!
After that I had it done once again and in a friend’s cousin’s saloon and it was dead straight. Now I cannot go to this saloon again because I no longer live in the same country.
So, I don’t know what is the myth here with the hair but I know that my wavy/curly hair can be dead straight.
Once you tried it you never want to have it any other way, that is what I think.
And it can defiantly go dead straight.
Hope it helps too.

Hi fellow curlys,

Chemical relaxers cannot give you bone straight hair but they can help you to be able to straighten it out better yourself.

Important note, some relaxers used in salons cantain lye and other harsh chemicals.
The new thermal reconditioning or aka japanese hair straightning will staighten without alot of damage.

Check your yellow pages for a salon that offers this service. At bit of warning though it can cost any where between 200-400 dollars.

Happy Curls!!!

I have curly hair as well and had it chemically relaxed about a year ago. I was expecting the same stick-straight results as you, but it was still wavy after the 3-hour prodecure was finished! However, the relaxer did take a lot of the curl out and I eventually learned to used a hairdryer so I could style my hair straight when I wanted (or let it air-dry and curl/wave when I was missing my ringlets).

Hope this helps. Good luck!
