Permanent Hair Straightening

[Doodlebug]

I chemically straightened my hair on and off for about 2yrs (this was before ds, now 4). I LOVED IT!!! It lasted about 4-6mts depending on regrowth so I had to keep going back. Like you my hair is ultra thick and frizzy! I've given in to the frizz now and use product to tame it back to a curl. That and I have FINALLY found a brilliant hairdresser who knows how to cut curly hair! She also thins it each visit.....much needed at the moment!

I found I still had kinks though, but the products have probably improved in the past 5 years. I was also told that sleeping on a satin pillow can help any straightening last a bit longer, either by the hairdresser or just straightening your hair at home. Not sure if this is true but can't hurt

ETA - I still found that if I wanted it to look really nice I still had to go over it with my straighteners before going out, but it only took about 5mins!
