Chemical straightener for hair?

Question

Please - I am thinking of getting my hair chemically straightened by a professional using a Matrix product. Anyone out there have experience good or bad with a Matrix chemical straightener?

Answer 1

A natural hair relaxer called BodipHeir. Hair straightening system straightens curly/kinky/wavy hair without the use of chemicals.

I hope you change your mind after I tell you this. I have long naturally curly hair, it is very naturally streaky with some very light blond and some goldy and coppery, it's very nice but of course I hated it as a teen because we always hate our hair then lol. I had a chemical straightening process done at a hairdresser and she left it on too long. I think she was used to doing African or thicker/coarser type hair but I lost a lot of hair that day and I was starting a new bank job and had to face all these people with this horrible broken frizzy hair. I was devastated. Even if they leave it on the right length of time, any product that does that kind of damage is not a good thing to put on/in your body. In my experience the less you do to the natural state of things the happier for all involved. Why fight it? curly hair is lovely, we can go swimming and let our hair dry naturally and look gorgeous on the beach! You can do anything with curly hair. When you want it straight, use a nice temporary straightener like Pantene straightening gel (it's not a sticky gel) with ceramic hair products (CHI) so they don't wreck the cuticle of your hair. Don't have your hair cut too short or too layered and give it a nice indulgent weekly Ojon restorative hair treatment. It smells amazing (kinda chocolate and coffee) and is great for your hands and nails too while you work it in. It's also an all natural product that comes from the rain forest and helps the community who makes it. Sorry to be so long but I really want to convince you not to chemically straighten your hair. I used to fight everything about how i was and then i realized nature made me beautiful and i just keep myself healthy and use nice earth friendly things on the inside and outside...the beauty comes from that...not from a bottle.
Good luck and there are also supplements you can take to help your hair grow, like silica gel.

I'm not sure how Matrix in particular works but I do know that you probably don't want to get a chemical straightner unless you plan on getting it done regularly. When your hair starts to grow back... your roots will be curly and the rest of your hair will be straight. It's not attractive. As far as if the Matrix thing works... just ask a professional. They would know best. Good luck

Professionally I do not like any brands of this type of product. The hair is too stick-to-her-head-straight. I like variety in my styling options. I usually only suggest this to clients who have way more hair than average, very long hair and little to no color. That is not very many clients. If you ALWAYS were your hair straight, it is very heavy and long then this is going to make your hair easier. This service has to be maintained like all other chemical work. So while it is growing out, you have curly roots and straight ends. Very hard to blow dry.

Answer 5

No I havent sorry, but y do you want to get a CHEMICAL straightener, you should get a ceramic flat iron, it works extremely well, i am mixed with very curly unruly hair and my flat iron gives me silky straight shiny hair. It won't harm your hair nearly as much as a chemical straightener. Good luck thou with whatever you decide to do.
