Chemical straightening

[-Soph-]

I want my hair chemically straightened, my mum's said no for the time being because she said it will damage my hair, so I need to convince her.


Will it REALLY damage my hair that much?

it's not worth it.
the only place i'd ever get my hair chemically straightened in is Japan, or a Japanese parlour that specializes in it.
I study hairdressing at college & have naturally curly (afro, tight ringletts) hair, and concidered this myself.
But tbh, it's not worth the risk of it going wrong since if they don't nuralize it right when it will either not hold and your hair will all break off, or if the setting lotion isn't washed off properly it'll lock into weird shapes.
Afterall it is chemically re-building your hair.
In my opinion, it's not worth the risk of losing all your hair, or having hair so porus and frizzy that you'll end up having the straighten it to take the frizz out anyway.

got mine done, sister did it free as she got the stuff really cheap as shes a hairdresser and it worked really well. i had really curly hair naturally and i used to spend ages straightening my hair, i still have to straighten it but only a little bit to style it how i want it, it worked really well, it probably is bad for your hair but it cant be worse than straightening it loads every day.

If it had good results all the time, then I don't see it as being lazy..
I want it done so I can do more things instead of spending an hour straightening my hair lol...

I have really thick hair, so it's a pain in the backside.



And thanks for the advice above so much!

I don't think i'll bother now, I guess i'll just put up with it.

Thin your hair often, layer it often, 2-3 weeks and you'll be alright :S

haha, my hair is as thin as it will go, I have really short layers as it is, I want to grow them out a little bit so I can tie them back.

Trust me haha, I have really freakishly thick hair.

[,Jess,]

I had it done because my hair is really thick.. like they had to use the really strong one on it.

If your hair is thick then it won't damage your hair that much as long as you don't get it done loads, it's better than just straightening it loads
