Straightening frizzy hair?

I have very wild, bushy hair uptil my shoulders. I've been offered a free straightening at one of the most expensive parlours in the country ;) , so I'm wondering whether it's worth it? How long will it last? And how much can it be damaged? I don't plan to regularly straighten my hair or anything of that sort, will it still be damaging? (My hair is also very thick; it can withstand some hair fall)

Mine is the same way and now i straighten mine religously! Every day! Your hair will look sexy gorgeous! And very silky! It will only take about 5-10 minutes. My hair is to the bottom of my back and it takes 30min- 1hour!!! And there is stuff you can buy to put into your hair to keep it from damaging too.

sure--i'd do it. do you know if it's that special japanese technique? i can't think of the name of it but it's really pricey but it's supposed to work very well and last a really long time. i had a straightener put on my hair once and there was this almost sharp kink right at the roots that grew out--it was weird but i don't think any hair broke off...i'd get it done, but religiously deep condition my hair after that.

Well if its chemically straightening, you wont have to worry about straightening it for a while, but most times it does horribly damage your hair. I can not speak from personal experience, but I have known people who have gotten their hair chemically straightened. If done right, it can have minimal damaging effects on your hair and look fantastic! If your are speaking of just a regular flat iron treatment, that really does not damage hair unless used excessively in which case one should use a straightening cream. Straightening cream can be found at your local drug store for under $5 in the hair care section. I recommend Lorelle (sp?) it works very well!

I too have thick frizzy (curly) hair, are you talking about permanent Japanese hair straightening or just temp with a flat iron? I only know that I occasionally straighten my hair with a flat iron and I love it. It has not damaged my hair and it will not last after you wash your hair. Would do it more often but it is so time consuming. Go for it and enjoy.!!

Buy the chi flat iron, it works miracles, you can flat iron your hair everyday as long as you use a heat protecting spray. I would also consider using a moisturing shampoo, and moisturizing conditioner, The oil in the products will weigh your hair down and force it to be straighter,

As far as I know Chemical Straightening has come a long way and is probably just a little more damaging than having your hair colored.

I had my hair straightened many years ago and it lasted about six months and it was SO worth it. Of course there were places that needed to be touched up with the flatiron here and there.

When you get it done make sure you ask about after care, you'll probably want to do some major conditioning after.

At home try this:

Your favorite conditioner

Olive Oil

1-2 drops Scented Oil

Make enough to saturate your hair (not as much as you think)

Whisk together in a small bowl and set over a pot of boiling water to warm the mixture through. Apply to dry hair and wrap your hair around your head with plastic wrap. Next, take a hair dryer and use it (at least 12 in from the plastic) to warm your hair through. Wrap in a towel and repeat the warming process after your hair has cooled. Rinse, sleep on it, wash it in the morning. You'll love it!
