I want to use perming solution to straighten my hair.... any tips??

Question

I straighten my hair every day,,, I hear that perming solution works to keep it straight but i am a bit unsure...

Answer 1

i had this done by a hair dresser who is a friend and it didn't work at all, sat though hours of having it done for no result at all and it made my hair worse I'm sure

Answer 2

there could be several reasons: 1. hormonal imbalance- check with a gynecologist 2. genetic 3. potent shampoo/conditioner or too frequent usage of conditioner [once every other day is already a little much] 4. dry hair [which could have been caused by the above reasons or treatments involving chemicals i.e. perming, straightening and dyeing] 5. you have a scalp condition [alopecia, due to stress, or something else] 6. you are panicking too much since the human head sheds, arguably around 300-1000 strands of hair a day

Answer 3

they are called "perming solutions" because they give you a perm/ make your hair curly, frizzy

you "straighten" you hair everyday?! o_O if your using either a straightening iron or some special hair treatments too much of those can NOT be good for your hair.

I suggest you buy some special hair treatments or better yet, go to a salon to make/keep your hair straight.

Answer 4

Dont even go there!!!!!

Perming solution breaks down the permanent bonds in the hair, and form around the curler (in your case, straight) and then the neutraliser reforms them.

When you have your hair chemically straightened in salons its not perming lotion they use, so dont even try!

You run the risk of messing your hair right up!
You need several boards to keep the hair straight, and its impossible to do it yourself,

You think its easy but its not, although you think the hair is hanging straight, when you have neutralised it, there may be kinks in the hair, and you wont be able to get rid of them!

BODIpHIER Natural Hair Relaxer

New Technology Revolutionizes
Hair Relaxing

Fresh Look Products Company Produces a Technological Breakthrough! The Fresh Look Permanent Hair BodipHier is an innovative product designed to relax hair and add body without the use of harsh chemicals. There has not been any significant innovation for relaxing hair since sodium hydroxide (lye) was introduced professionally in the 1950's. Manufacturers have formulated many variations of lye relaxers (I.e., sodium, calcium, and lithium hydroxide) and even added conditioners in an attempt to make relaxers less damaging.

However, the basic damaging ingredient (lye) has not changed. Consequently, since the introduction of (lye) relaxers, the average length of hair has gotten shorter by 4-5 inches.

I would go to a salon as using perming solution can be tricky and could damage your hair.

AVOID STRIAGHTENING

Answer 8

First PERMS make your hair curly and RELAXERS make your hair straight. So you'll need to be more specific and let us know what type of hair you have because caucasian hair is different from black or asian hair.

Answer 9

I would recomend you use Japanese Hair Starightenning . In the salon its ridiculously priced but I purchased it on ebay . for 60.00 .Did it myself ..it was really easy just took along time to complete 4hrs . but well worth it . Humidity and rain did not effect it !!! I thought the straightening iron also wasted too much of my day ...I chosed the sensitive formula for dyed hair ( though my hair is not dyed as I didnt want anything harsh ) and it worked just as well . their is different ones I used OPti ...

Answer 10

It isn't what it is designed for, so I wouldn't try it. Have a look around, there are bound to be over the counter straightening lotions too - or check with your hairdresser.

Answer 11

Usually, that's too long for me. I think it depends on the guy and his face though. Certain guys may pull off long hair and other folks can't.
