Haha very good! I was really biting my tongue from accusing you of being the evil mother from hell or something similar! I was made to keep my hair short(like a boy's) until I was 15 when I just flat out refused to and grew it from there. Now almost two years later my mum feels really guilty. So you can see where I was coming from being all shocked at the controllingness.

I (and my husband) never forced our girls to TR. It was just my girls decision to do this and it was my pleasure to surf the www, drive 250km to Poland, hold their hands (8 hours ) and pay for it (600,- €).
Moreover, in modern Germany, it would be a punishable offence to force your children to a stylist, and that’s right in my opinion. In Poland it’s the same, I think.
Dear neighbour on the British Isle, in my first posting I wrote: excuse my English mistakes. Nowadays it isn’t a problem to find the right vocabularies, but I admit I was a dead-loss in grammar and diction in school - 20 years ago. Sorry! (My German tongue sounds a bit harsh.)
This morning my girls shampooed their hair first time, after the TR - the first time without my help. My daughters weren’t able to do it alone until last Saturday because the length of their hair (Ischa 3’’6, now ’’10). With blow drying and ironing it lasts now just 15 min.
Their hair is straight and shiny, even without ironing. I haven’t seen any breakage or damage, yet. But it’s feeling thinner and lighter now. (For good reason it’s shorter - no, very short - now.)
Ine and Ischa love it and that will do.
Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays (choose it for yourself)

PS: The teachers in our sunday school were very shocked about the Makeover. Ine should play Mary in a Christmas Play. Instead of a dark extreme long braid, Mary has now a short light brown haircut. The whole Play is ruined.

Well, yes, maybe I forced them a little. But it doesn’t matter, I think. As a mother I decide so many things for my children, with lifelong consequences, to have a brace, to pull their wisdom teeth, to remove their tonsils, the school, the food, to play piano or not... A haircut has no lifelong consequences and in a year or two they will have their own style and decide for themselves. Now they have no style and my husband and I choose for them.
A good friend of mine, who cut the girls ends and did a non-permanent straightening at their hair every few weeks, recommended the last time a permanent straightening. And my girls, who didn’t’t like the straightening procedure, were interested in this advice. But I don’t think, that Ischa and Ine knew, a permanent hair-straightening is a chemical treatment, like a perm.
I confess, it was only my decision to do this before Christmas. Maybe the appointment to straightening was more a surprise attack by me. And the girls were a little upset, as I told them, the hairdresser is going to cut their hair and do a Chi-Straightening, yesterday.
But it’s done now, and in a few days they won’t miss their long frizzy hair. And they will love their "cruel" mommy again.

I got a bit confused by your posts. Isn't it your daughter's choice on whether they get their hair done or not? Maybe you didn't mean it that way but it sounded like you were forcing them into it.

And now it's time to go to Poland ! Our appointment is at 9:00 MET. And I think we will be back at 22:00 with long straightened hair or short curls, we'll see.
Keep your fingers cross.

Hi Anais, you see I'm still awake, though it's 1:45 am in Germany. I'm a little nervous, and can't sleep. My husband is on night shift, so I'm alone. My kids are sleeping. Just the cat holds the fort.
Oops. Yes,happens, like we in Germany say, - too. Thats the risk at every chemical treatment, I think. There is no reason to distrust the hairdresser, or. I will be the whole time with my girls and watch it what he's doing - with argus eyes. Even it will last eight hours. On the homepage of a German salon which works with the Chi system I read, that's possible to dye with the Farouk products at the same day, so we will keep the appointment and do this tomorrow, too. I think its better to do it in one session. So it will be one hard day at the hairdresser with first haircut, straightening and dye, and not a process of two or three weeks. It's difficult enough to direct them to the salon the first time. M.

Well, it’s time that my girls change their look. And so I did the appointment to straightening (and maybe) dye.
They have not really curly hair, because the hair is too long (over the hips) to curl , but round the head is all the time so fuzzy, and the non-permanent straightening products don’t work. It looks so untidy and old-fashioned. So a permanent straightening has to be or the hair has to be cut – short, that the curls could come out. I know, that even with the straightening they have to cut a lot, but my girls surely prefer longer hair with chemical treatment instead of short hair in natural texture. That will be the choice they have on Saturday. We will go to Poland, to the hairdresser, that’s settled. And I know that chemical treatment damages the hair, but if they really care for it, it could be well and I'll help them.

Too late, it’s done. Now I know the course of a CHI Hair Straightening, first hand.
