KMS has a great straightener. But do it through a salon, even if it's a little more expensive than doing it yourself. Otherwise, you could have a disaster on your hands. But be forewarned, straightening is one of the harshest chemical processes you can do on hair. If you don't want to go that route then try a straight iron. Again, if you want to do the best thing for your hair, get an ionic one. It will cost $100, but you won't have to go back to a stylist to get repeated treatments.
As far as how long, I would say at least 4 inches of hair would be the minimal.

SSBN, what kind of hair salon does your friend go to? I just find that price range shocking and out of whack. I've had my hair chemically straightened before and it cost me $75. It lasted me 3 months. Sounds like she should find a less expensive place to go.

One of my friends went to a hair salon to have her hair straightened and it cost her $300-$400. She has to repeat the process every two months, I think. *ouch*
Another friend bought a hair straightening iron for about $100. (It looks like a curling iron, except it is flat.) She bought cheaper ones but really loves the $100 one. She said she wakes up early and straightens her hair daily. I love the way it looks.

1. Conditioner for oily hair
I have naturally oily, straight hair and I used a shampoo with conditioner and then applied a leave-in conditoner to prevent static. It worked! I used mousse and a bit of hair spray and was static-free almost all day.
2. static....
i get static hair all the time...for short releif of it, use a dryer sheet. i dont know what it is that helps but it does! don't use it for very long though.
3. Moisturizer for hair Rebecca Featherston
Several years ago I was introduced to SEBASTION Potion #9. This is a leave in hair moisturizer, not a conditioner. It's used in place of, after you shampoo. Use it regularly throughout the winter months and you will notice a difference!
4. Winter hair rejuvination Rebecca
Get your hairstylist to color your hair with REDKIN SHADES...this is a conditioning, non-peroxide color wash, you can brighten your hair color by using the shades and mixing with clear to tone down to an acceptable level for your taste. This is a great treatment for the wintertime, it brightens your hair, and deep conditions it at the same time. You'll be hooked after one treatment!
5. Fly Away Hair
If you are having trouble with fly away hair try this. Rinse hair, after shampooing, every now and then with a good liquid clothes conditioner. It greatly cuts down the static in your hair.
6. Surefire Success
Keep your hat on till spring, maybe early summer.
7. To Fight Static...
I have super long (3 1/2 ft. from crown to tips), super thin, super straight hair and static in the winter is a nightmare for me. I have learned 3 good ways of combating it however. #1 Keep a trial size bottle of a leave in spray conditioner with you at all times (you can buy these in drug stores for pennies). #2 Run a dryer sheet over your hair. #3 Spray something like Static Guard over your hair (this may stink but it's effective).
8. Smooth Hair
My stylist told me that when you rinse out your conditioner, you should use colder water. When you look at a piece of hair under a microscope, it looks like the shingles of a roof. When you use colder water to rinse out your conditioner, it closes those "shingles" and makes your hair smoother.
9. Better hair
Before showering, I comb my hair one last time. This helps to distribute the natural oils in your hair. When in the shower, I usually comb my conditioner into my hair paying special attention to the tips because this is where your hair has less moisture. When I'm done I usually blast cold water onto my hair. This helps with keeping the hair moisturized since it closes the hair shaft and it makes your hair extremely shiny.
