Hi girls.

I have really curly hair and have previously had thermal reconditioning straightening done to it with great results. My hair was totally straight and looked and felt very healthy.

I am considering getting it done again (in Chinatown, Sydney) but it costs approx $300. I was told the other day about a local place that does something like a reverse perm, and is MUCH cheaper.

Has anyone had a reverse perm? Or any hairdressers out there have any thoughts on them? Is my hair going to end up damaged and harder to handle? That is the last thing I want, obviously But it would be good not to have to spend hundreds of dollars!

Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks ladies.
