About Chemical Straightening

If you really want straight hair then a permanent hair straightening may be something worth considering. Because of the powerful chemicals used in these processes you should look for a stylist who specializes in this service.

Straightening the hair will reduce the volume of the hair because the hairs will lie more smoothly together. On the plus side, straightening the hair can make your hair feel smooth and silky and easier to style. But, on the down side, as a professional hairstylist I have often seen the consequences of poorly done straightening services.

I have actually seen hair broken off at the scalp, so I personally recommend you leave this service to the experts. If your desire is to have pin straight hair all of the time then a chemical straightening service may be for you. Just be careful of what you wish for because there may not be many styling options.

Even when you can add curl after a straightening service it can take more time and effort than using a temporary straightening product for styling in the first place.

The cost of a straightening service can vary widely depending on the type of straightening service you want.

Thio based straightening can cost between $35 and $100 , while Japanese Straightening can cost between $300 and $1000 or more depending on the length of hair and where you have it done. Again because this is such a highly specialized service it might not be wise to look for a bargain price

Perhaps the best advice of all is this, if you see someone with fabulous curls ask her who does her hair. A professional stylist who specializes in curly hair can probably recommend the best products for your hair and Miss curly top will be flattered by your complement. Most importantly you will be on your way to loving your curly hair
