Japanese Hair Straightening or Thermal Reconditioning is a chemical process that changes the structure of the hair, making it totally straight. Japanese Straightening products are done in conjunction with straightening irons that seal in the hair's moisture and shine once the Japanese straightening process is completed.
It will also remove all frizziness from the hair giving it a sleeker look. The Hair straightening process is not damaging at all, in fact it improves the texture of hair, because when hair is thermally straightened/reconditioned, it loosens the hair's cystine protein bonds and reshapes the bonds by straightening the hair cells with the use of heated flat irons, then makes it permanent by using a neutralizer. The cuticle of the hair is therefore Closed, reestablishing a smoother surface.
Wavy and curly hair is almost always frizzy because the cuticle is usually opened/porous, causing the hair to be vulnerable to all outside elements. On the other hand straight hair is usually smooth because the cuticle is in a closed state, allowing light to reflect off it`s smooth surface.
So by straightening the hair the cuticle the hair is shinier, healthier and safer from the outside elements
This is the basis for all Japanese Hair Straightening Systems
or continue straigtening your own hair and just make sure to give your have flax or olive oil treatments frequently to heal your hair.

HI stephanie, I have thick hair just like you, And I have the perfect thing to do but ask a hairdresser before you do it. here is the thing. cut it in three or more layers I am trying to do my best explaining this to you. I mean to have a layer which is short and to have another layer that is longer then the first one and then have a layer that is longer then the second one an dif you want to you can choose to have one more layer that is longer then the third one.. I have done it and I love it and I have had it for 3 years and it is just great..
After that you just have to shower your hair ( I use head&shoulders) and dry it with a towel then brush it and sleep with it just like that and next day you will have curls in your hair because of the new cut. at least my hair gets curly when I do like that. If yours doesnt I suggest you use a mousse and curl it by using a round brush and a hairdryer after showering. If you want to choose an alternative that lasts longer but may damage your hair you can do a perm at a salon..
I hope I helped. wish you good luck

If you're in NYC... Go to Ouidad. Or find a hairdresser that specifically works with thick course or curly hair.
It's easy to just say thin it... For those of us who have a bush on their heads... We know better. Sometimes it just makes matters worse.
Always have a consultation with a hairdresser first so that you have the space and time to ask questions with no obligation. It's like an interview for a job as your hairdresser.
Just make sure you know who you are dealing with and what if any qualifications they have to even touch thick curly or course hair! Not just anyone can do it... Trust me!

Like others suggested, getting layers in your hair is a good idea. Also, you can use leave in conditioners and straightening products that majorly cut down on damage when you straighten - I use Straight Shot by Beyond the Zone while straightening and when dry, I finish with Dangerously Straight spray by Herbal Essences. Good luck!

You could try going to get it professionally cut and have them thin your hair. They might also be able to recommend products that will make your hair devolumize, or a cut that would give the illusion of less hair.

I understand you completely!If you haven't already,try Garnier Frutice hair products,they work great and are fairly inexpensive.The Sleek and Shine line is the best,I use the shampoo,conditioner and the hair serum,all I have to do it put the serum in and blow dry and it's fine.
