Chemical hair straightening

[clairecymru]

I have naturally wavy hair and I am thinking of getting it permenately straightened.  Does anyone know roughly how much this will cost, how long it will last and will it do much damage to my hair.

Artificially straightened hair looks healthy on the outside however its very drying to your hair. At least, this is what I've heard from my friends who have done. I think as long as you invest time in treatments, I'm sure it'll be alright.

It seems to last until the hair grows out. Cost wise, I really don't know.

Is it more damaging than using ceramic straighteners every day?

Remember that the hair that you can see is "dead". You can do what you like to it but any new growth will be curly etc as before. It's all in your genes.

i had this done a few years back and it went frizzy and wavy again about two weeks later. The methods used might have improved by now though. Good luck
