But I hate the outcome! i need my curly hair back for a wedding in 2 days. Does anyone know how I can remove this straightening stuff from my hair asap?? please help, i keep trying to wash it out, but to no avail. i miss my natural curls. if anyone has any advice or know what product i can use, plz let me know. thanks,

Relaxing your hair is a permanent process. It said on the label that it lasts three months, which is how soon you'd have to touch up the roots that were growing in curly.

I have seen some really bizarre results from home straightening kits.

You have permanently changed the protein structure of your hair. The only way to return to natural curls is to grow it out and cut it off. Sorry.

I suggest a wig.

Its too bad you didn tread thepost form about a week ago on this.I had a friend who used that product.It looked good for a couple of weeks.But it started to frizz(straight frizz is worse than curly frizz).Plus it damaged it really bad.they had really healthy hair to begin with.Their hair didnt recover from it either.They had to just gradually cut it out.Which is sad cause it was pretty long to begin with. I'm sorry noone could warn you ahead of time.This persons hair was coarse,and thick to begin with.For someone with fine hair it would be even worse.I hope your hair doesnt end up like that.I saw how bad it can be and I dont wish that on my worst enemy.

yes they can use curling iron but that stuff causes major damage and I wouldnt recommend it.

And Giomorel:I would start using a good deep conditioner.Your going to need it.I'm sorry about you getting roped into this product to.My hair is not curly or I would have probably tried it on my hair too.I love curly hair,but after my friend I was never so glad to be naturally straight.Take care of your hair.The product says it can be used even on fine wavy hair.But It isnt even suitable for thick coarse hair.Why dont you get one of those pretty clip on pony's.You can get them pretty curly.And they can look really nice if played around with.You still "have" your hair so its not all bad

i was about to try this product, until i read the horror stories here. it seems as though there are never any really good over the counter fixes. remember people, if it sounds to good to be true, it usually is/
