I have had curly hair for over 30 years and I finally did it! I love my hair and so does everyone else. I paid $150 to have it done in an upscale salon. Just two months later, I had it color weaved and still no damage. I use less product on my hair and I can do more styles with it straight. The product used was called Unreel.

I do I do! Pick me! I had the same problem and it doesn't cost a lost of money to fix, but it takes two people and a lot of patience. My hair stylist actually told me about this when I didn't want to pay for it to be professionally done. Anyway, it works great and not just thin hair. I did my friends' hair and she had REALLY thick and frizzy hair. Go to Wal mart and by any perm. It doesn't to be a straightening perm either, you can get a spiral perm or whatever. Anyway, do what the directions say on the perm, but instead of putting the rollers in your hair, use a fine toothed comb and comb your hair striaght over and over and over until the time limit on the perm is up. Don't let any waves or kinks get into your hair during this step. Then rinse and follow the rest of the instructions on the perm. You may have to repeat this process a few days later depending on how well your "perm" took, but it only takes an hour or so. Bingo, your hair is 95% straight at least. All it takes is five min. on a blow dryer. My stylist said it is less damaging to do this one or two times every couple of months then to use a flat iron on it all the time.

I have a friend who has very curly hair, and she got it chemically straightened. I couldn't believe how great it turned out. Her hair is stick straight which is what she wanted, and all she has to do to take care of it is wash it and let it air dry. She didn't get any damage or problems of any kind. Just go to someone who knows what they're doing.

My natural hair is curly and i did rebonding for few times. I suppose now is not as expensive as before when it first introduced. It worked well for me and it's permanent until your natural hair grow back. For me what I did was when my hair grew i just redo the top part and it's not so expensive coz it's only half of your hair.

It relies upon how curly. Tight curls or wavy curls. Bleach and dye could actual ruin the hair. Hair will strengthen out and look the comparable as before you destroyed it with chemical ingredients

Just flat iron it, I got a relaxer once, & it made my hair break off & rough at the ends. My auntie didn't leave it in long enough to get it shraight. So, there was no point at that.
It can change your hair permently, it can give you bold spots, so if you deside to get 1, make sure it's the right type for your hair, & get some1 who knows what they're doing to do your hair.

It permanently changes your hair until it grows out. It depends on the salon you go to for the best price. I definitely suggest ISO (pronounced long i and the word so together) main tamer straightening system. It is a wonderful, natural looking, and natural feeling product I've ever used.

i straightened my hair recently and it looks great. u have to care it a little differently than u care ur natural hair tho. but it only damages ur hair if u don't care ur hair properly. i use motions, but i hear dark and lovely is good too. but relaxing ur hair is almost permanent. if ur not completely sure, u could straighten it temporarily(ask ur hairdresser about this) and if u like it after about a month, then go ahead and relax it. i love having straight hair. it's much easier to style it.

When you hair is dry, use ice and rub it agaist some hair from the top to the bottom. Only go one direction, from the top to the bottom. The coldness of the ice should tame the hair abit.

it leaves it really coarse like nappy and nasty, i dont recommend it cuz then when it wears off your curly hair wont be the same it wont be nice, you should love your curly hair, its different curls are beautiful
