Permanently Straighten Curly Hair.?

I have mad curly hair and am getting a bit fed up. How does a hairdresser straighten hair permanently and does is do a lot of damage to your hair? Also how long before it starts curling again? I have tried straighteners but they don't make it last long even the GHD ones.

Anytime you apply a chemical process to the hair you weaken it, especially if you indulge in multiple processes (straightening/perming AND coloring). Everyone wants what they don't have. There are women out there who would kill to have curly hair. Why not ask your hairdresser to help you with the best haircut %26amp; products to work with your hair, not against it.

It will not just go back curly, it will grow out curly if you go to the hairdressers. Assuming you have it relaxed that is (ie as a black person would).

I noticed today that Boots are doing a home chemical straightening kit now, maybe that might be worth looking at.

Vaseline worked for my sister about 40 years ago. Thing is, she was 2 when she did that - did straighten her hair forever though.

they will put in a straightening serum and it takes ages but in the end your hair will be straight. it does cause damage. but so do straighteners. it eventually grows out so you would have to keep having your hair striaghtened. but beware you'l never be as curly as you are now as it keeps your hair wavy if it grows out.

yes, it is very damaging to your hair to straighten it chemically. Just learn to love the hair you have. Go to a GOOD hairdresser and learn some good tips on how to style your hair curly...also what products to use when you straighten your hair with a flat iron. Use a GOOD flat iron, such as a CHI...it's not cheap, but it's better for your hair and you will get it mich straighter and smoother. Also, make sure you use a good product to protect your hair when using a flat iron. Go to a beauty Supply or ask your stylist for a reccomendation. Also, using an Ionizing blow dryer will help straighten and smooth.

You should buy a flat iron. I have curly hair and the flat iron has become my best friend for my hair. If you also use the right products you can straighten your hair and it will still look healthy. At a salon they will put a chemical relaxer in your hair to release the curls. That is fine for a bit, but I believe that it will do damage over time, and it may also ruin your curl (meaning it won't curl again for you). I say enjoy your curls, but get that flat iron for your hair. You will love it!!

hey ther.. I know all about uncontrollable hair..lol.. I have really static frizzy hair myself with some curls in it. Anyways, ive been working in different hairdresser salons and what im used to when people ask how they can remove their curls is to do it the same way as when u want curls.. just without the rolls.. They brush ur hair flat instead, and ur curls should ease down.. What u should do anyways, is ask in a salon where they see ur hair.. the quality and everything.. Then they decide whats the best thing to do.. .. What about a flatening iron???..

good luck anyways:)

They use the same solution as they would for a perm except they keep brushing it through instead of putting curlers in and yes it is damaging to your hair. My little sister had it done and it make it more frizzy than anything, it looked better curly than frizzy

There is no way to "permanently" straighten hair. It is curly because of the shape of the hair follicles and that is permanent. Hair straighteners are chemically very similar to perms, and thus can damage hair in the same way. How long it takes to start curling again depends upon how fast your hair grows and how long or short you keep it.

I had a friend who had her hair chemically straightened at the hairdressers and it was damaged for years until it grew out so I would really avoid this! Your hair can be straighten first by washing and towel drying apply lots of Hair Mousse and blow dry straight as much as you can, then take hair in inch sections and straighten with the GHDs if you dont believe this will work go into any hair dressers and ask them to blow dry your hair dead straight and you will see it can be done - good Luck!

You have to do it permanently, they use a cream from your roots out to your ends and then wash it out. You have to redo your roots from time to time as you hair grows out and get treatments done so you don't get damage.

People with baby-fine straight hair live their lives fed up with their straight hair too... Everybody has hair issues.

As far as im aware you can put a straightener on which is basicaly a perm and keep combing it through. It'll do the same damage as having your hair permed if it was straight. It'll last till your roots start getting longer usually 4 to 6 months.I was a hairdressers apprentice about 20years ago but left cos the pay was rubbish. Hope this might help

As a Licensed Cosmetologist, I recommend you see a professional to get a consultation, because before anyone can give you advice they NEED to see your hair to tell you what may be good for your hair, as you know every individuals' hair is different.

I can tell you the process of you hair getting chemically straightened though.

The chemical used is called a Relaxer and is used to "relax" your natural curl pattern to as straight as you would desire.

This chemical is applied to your hair from root to end (not in that order) and as it enters your hair cortex (inner most layer of hair strand) the cross bonds (sulfur and hydrogen) are broken. The action of the comb (or hands) in smoothing the hair is distrubuting the chemical while it straightens the hair.

After hair is at it's desired straightness and is rinsed out at the sink, a Neutralizing shampoo is applied and it's job is to sopt the action of any chemical relaxer that may remain in the hair after rinsing. (A second Neutralizing shampoo may be necessary to bring the hair down to a normal ph since the relaxers' ph factor is between 12 to 14, and any normal ph is at level 7)

After the Neutralization is done the hair needs to be conditioned. Your hair is towl blotted and conditioner is applied to offset the harshness of the sodium hydroxide in the relaxer and to help restore some of the natual oils to the scalp and hair.

Styling: Relaxed hair is in a weakened condition. To avoid hair breakage, excessive heat and excessive stretching should be avoided. Blow drying and Thermal/flat iron curling can be used but at a strict minimum. I recommend getting a roller set since the hair dryer blows out even heat and the style lasts longer.

This chemical is called a permanent because the hair that we can see will be permanently changed, but the hair that has yet to grow will grow out and your natural curl will return. And that all depends on how fast your hair grows but usually this process lasts for 6 weeks before you need a touch-up. ( A touch up is having the same chemical relaxed applied to only the new growth/roots of your hair). This chemical is also used in Texturizing the hair, only it is not left on for 20 minutes as a full process would be, but only for 7 minutes max. and a comb is not used, just hands. and the texturizing process is not to straighten but just to loosen up and relax your natural curls to make them more manageable and less frizzy and tangled.

I hope this info helps and please keep in mind that whatever you do to your hair can be damaging (whether it be sitting in the sun or using a flat iron). It all depends on how well you take care of it. Remember hair is alive and it needs to be nurtured just as much as your body.

Happy hair!

Ask your hairdresser about chemical straightening. I had it done and would definitley recommend it. Your hair is sectioned off and the chemical is spread onto your hair with a brush. It takes about 3 hours depending on the length of your hair. Mine cost 鎷?5. It was so much easy to manage and sooo much easier to straighten.
