I have recently heard/read about a salon treatment that chemically relaxes the hair, using a flat iron for a very, straight smooth effect. Does anyone know anything about this, and if so can they share what they know about how damanging the process is? My hair is medium/uneven wavy/curly and blowing it straight takes far too long! Also, if I do get my hair chemically relaxed, can I just wash it and go (with straight results) or will I still have to blow my hair dry? What will it look like if I let it dry naturally?Any help would be much appreciated!

I am sorry to say that a chemical straigtner probably not give a wash and go staight. I hoped it did the same because my hair is sort of wavy. It will way your wavy hair down make it easier to straightnen with a blowdryer. I have had many striaghtners and they have dried my hair. I haven't had one in almost 3 months. My best advice is to blowdry your hair as straight as possible, then use a flat iron, which is totally different from a chemical relaxer. It's like a crimper, but the plates are flat. I recommnend Conair Shiny Straight. You can get it at Wal-Mart or a store like it. Try not to use the iron everyday, b/c it can dry hair like any other heat to hair. Hope this helps.
