I have to tell you, getting my hair TRed (thermally reconditioned and also known as Japanese Hair Straightening) was the best thing I ever did.

The first time my hair was skinny straight hair..honestly, it was almost too limp since I had always had the big course hair. I didn't have bad hair days anymore, but I also had no really great hair days since it was always the same.

The 2nd time (15 months after the first time) I asked if there was a way to still have some body. They left the solution on for about 2/3 the time. I have straight hair with a little more body. I actually prefer to do a little styling (flip up the ends, etc), so this worked better for me.

It is expensive, but worth it when you think about the time savings, product, good straightening irons, etc. I went to a stylist who uses Liscio, which does a great job protecting your hair.

If someone would just reply to this message. I have the same problem. I have to blow-dry my hair every time i wash it, cause I would'nt dream of leaving the house with it 'au naturel'.
I guess thick hair will always remain thick, no matter what. I have never achieved the texture I want with my hair, it's never straight enough, even when I go to hairdressers. and believe me, I've been around.
No products seem to do the trick, and I have wasted too much money.

My hair is very thick and wavy. Sometimes it is frizzy, especcially when it is humid. I've been using silk therapy products and deep conditioners to make it feel soft, and I've noticed an improvement, but not as much as I'd like. Anyways, my hair is layered, but I'm trying to grow it out and make it unlayered. I want it to be thin, straight, flat and have very little to no volume. I want it to fall down straight. Right now my hair is thick and wavy, and the layers are all weird looking. I'm getting slight trims until the layers are gone, but it isn't really helping. I need some way to make my hair thin, straight, but soft and silky at the same time. Any help? I'll try to get a picture up later.
