How much is it to chemicly straighten your hair?

Question

I have curly/wavy blond/brown hair. its kinda thick too. Do you think i could chemicly straighten my hair? and how much would it cost?

Answer 1

$50.00 to 65.00 depending on the length. Plus tip, plus whatever products you buy from the salon.

Answer 2

There are three major kind of ways to chemically straighten your hair and vastly different prices for said services.

1. Anticurl/Antifrizz service, this will not make your hair bone straight but will elimanate frizz and soften the texture to make most hair types more manageable. Hair feels and looks better after service is done.
Cost $75 to $200 depending on the salon.

2. A relaxer will make your hair bone straight but you will lose all elasticity, and most of the shine in your hair. Works for almost all curly hair types.
Cost $75 to $200 depending on the salon.

3. Thermal Straightening.This Japanese Style straightening is simply unbelievable, leaving your hair straight, with no frizz and still in phenomenal condition.
Cost This service can only be priced upon consultation, but is typically upwards of $500

For how you describe your hair I would recomend an Anticurl service. Done correctly it's a fantastic service.

for more info on Anticurls look them up at www.Rusk1.com

hope that helps

PS I've been doing and teaching salons all over the US how to do all three of these services for over ten years now, if you have any questions feel free to e-mail me...

Answer 3

You COULD, but I wouldn't. That is the roughest of all chemical processes out there, and it's not cheap, because you want it done right. You could seriously damage your hair if not done right, so really think long and hard about this one. Plus, as new hair grows in, it will be wavy/curly--so you'll have to keep it up. It's really REALLY damaging, and I wouldn't reccommend it. I'll bet your hair tends to get frizzy too, right? And you want the stick straight hair that you see in all the magazines, right? You've got hair like my 17 year old daughter. She finally gave up on trying to have someone else's hair, and embraced her own hair, which is VERY thick, dark blond/light brown (she does add highlights), and wavy--and frizzes like crazy. She was trying to wear it long and straight, and she could do it, after spending over an hour with a straightening iron. She finally cut if off--it's now in short layers, falls to about her chin, and she can straighten it in about 10 minutes now. It looks GORGEOUS on her, and like she said--her head doesn't look like a triangle anymore!!! Find a hairdresser who can work with your hair texture and amount, and find a hairstyle that will work WITH your hair, rather than against it. Good luck!!!

I am a Stylist & it really Depends on where you LIVE!! No Joke! I am From Washington DC and we would charge about $150-300 depending on the lenght of your hair!

A Jappennse Straightener is MUCH more $$

** BUT Beware... No Bleaching or Highlighting your hair after you Relax it! Only Color!

Answer 5

If you really want to straighten your hair, but don't have alot of money to spend, here's a trick.

Go to the pharmacy and buy a PERM kit. Don't worry, let me continue.

You will then, pour the perm liquid on your hair (don't use rollers) and comb it straight and keep combing for the same amount of time as it says to leave it on when you have rollers.

This usually works.

Another thing is to look for products specifically designed to straighten hair in pharmarcies.

However, if I were you, I would save my money and invest in a professional job.

Good Luck

Answer 6

Depends on the saln. A good salon will start at around £25. Remember to get your treatments done too evry couple of weeks.

You can buy a kit to do your hair at home for under a fiver but I don't recommend this.

Answer 7

You can actually do that at home. Just buy a perm kit and do the opposite. Put the chemicals in your hair and using a fine tooth comb, continually comb your hair for the recommended time. I used to do that and it took alot of the curl out of my hair.

Answer 8

I dunno but I'd say its a waste of time. As soon as I hear the word 'chemical' I don't go there - it won't be good for your hair.

Just buy a really good pair of hair straightners like BaByliss or GHD and use some thermal protector spray and you should be fine.
Don't ruin your hair by chemically straightening it.
Surely its nice to have lovely wavely curly hair? I wish mine was naturally wavy and curly.

Answer 9

I have asked many salons about straightening my hair and they all said they wouldn't do and the ones that do charge alot!!! I use shampoo that has straightener in it and it works really good.

Answer 10

it weakens the bonds in your hair. I used to do that, but i just leave my hair natural now. But if you want to do it...the cost varies depending on how long or thick your hair is. I have long hair...like to my bra strap and its thick and the cheapest one was probably 65 dollars and the most expensive was 100 dollars.

Answer 11

it may depend on how much hair you have . It may cost anywhere from $45-65 but should not cost more than that unless you care getting a cut as well.
