I have had my hair chemically straighten before... I didnt do the really expensive one (I think its called Japanese Straightning) but the one I got didnt work like I thought it would. I still had to apply defrizzing products and still had to use a straight iron to get it to look nice.
My advice, dont do it. Find a way to work with your hair... I like John Freida De Frizzing products. They have a serum that is great for frizzy hair (you can but it at stores like Walmart, Kmart, Walgreens etc.)... or buy a wet/dry straightning iron by Revelon. It works really well.
Also, if you go to the stylist and ask their advice... they can cut your hair in a style that will work with the texture of your hair and will give you tips on styling and defrizzing.
Good Luck.

DO NOT DO THIS. Advertisements swear that it's healthy or "not bad" for your hair. That is a COMPLETE lie. It is especially BAD if your hair is already brittle, dry, and coarse. I wish someone had warned me about this before I decided to do it 3 years ago. It made my hair feel and look HORRIBLE. A big chunk of hair broke off from the top of my head and my hair was literally burned. All I can tell you is DON'T. There are too many bad things that happened to me from this that I cannot list them all. If you think you hate your hair now, wait until you straighten it. You will want to shave your head and buy a wig. I am not kidding. Good luck with your decision. And let me just say that I am Latina, not African American. Most people think that stuff like this only happens to women of color but in all reality it can happen to anyone. Be a good daughter and save yourself some grief and save your parents $300-$500 dollars.

nicely formerly you do something like which you should continually do your examine. I unquestionably have heard too many memories approximately chemically straightened hair, and that they are actually not solid. So i might say do not do it. And merely positioned money into an exceedingly solid flat iron, and anti-frizz products. Its a plenty much less of a risk. additionally, the reason your hair remains wavy in spots is considering which you're actually not taking it gradual to straighten it. Its a protracted technique for curly/wavy hair.

HEEEEEYYYY!!! NO!! Don't do that!! you'll enjoy it now, you'll regret it later.. I have friends who were regreting having their hair chemically treated... They said it became dried (they're hair)... That sucks.. you dont wanna have a hair like that, trust me.. anyways... if you really want straight AND healthy hair, follow this steps... PS DONT USE IRON EITHER!!!!
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.

i think you should wait before you straighten yor hair with chemical and go to a hairsttlist first and see if they can press your hair or flat iron it out first.
