I have naturally curly hair- when I was younger it was straight, in my teens it turned curly- but i HATE it curly, and I love straightenting it with my Farouk Chi Straightening Iron ($94.99 on Amazon.com, its #1!!) but after I take a shower, it's "back to curly again." Has anyone ever had a permanent straightenting? I'm considering doing that, but does it make your hair forever stick-straight or can it ever get wavy? Is a 3-months straight solution I can get for $30 from Walgreens a better idea?

If that's what you want I had a friend say the best way to go is Japanese straightening. It's very expensive but it last a long time even through washing. I don't know where it's offered though. Also I too have curly sometime frizzy hair, and I think you should embrace it. Try mousse and a diffuser it makes curly hair look great and not frizzy. I also straighten my hair sometimes and the Corriolus straightener works better than CHi,( I have both) but I still think curly hair is way sexier. But it's you choice

I am mixed black and white and have always had a problem with my hair. Eventially I had it straightened with a "perm" (a black person's relaxer). It relaxes your hair straight, but if you don't know what you're doing it is best to have it done or have someone help you! I've never used a 3month solution for $30 likeyou're talking about. What I use is only $6-$10 at most. I even know of white girls who use it and works fine! If you have fine hair then it's best to buy a children's solution. You'll still have problems with frizz and stuff, and YES it can go back to wavy. My hair waves up when it's wet, just not as bad as before, and I still have a BAD frizz problem when it's humid outside or when it rains. Try using frizz serums by Frizz-Ease. They work wonders, before you try to do something more permanent!

I heard that the 3 month straight solution eventually burns your hair up, it will become more frizzy and it will have alot of split ends....You'll end up having to cut all your hair! Go on wet look gel, just remember that all the real straight haired girls want it curly ,u're lucky in a way, just wash your hair,towel dry ,apply some wet looking gel and off you go gorgeously!

Do not straighten your hair permanently!
It will ruin it !
Just accept the fact that you have curly hair or buy the best hair straightener you can !
