Chemical Straightening

[hugs&kisses]

I prefer my hair straight (is generally quite wavy) and straighten it most days, but it is time consuming and I have been looking into chemical straightening. However any pictures I have seen of the finished result seems to make the person's hair very flat. Does anyone know, if the chemical mix is left on for less time, it will reduce the flatness of the hair whilst still straightening it? Thanks to all

I used a chemical straightener on my long hair a couple of years ago,it was a disaster,I ended up having to have all my hair cut off as the chemicals damaged my hair so much it was just snapping off in big chunks from the roots.Think very carefully before getting this done and make sure you go to a reputable salon if you decide to go ahead with it.

I've had the yuko treatment done on my hair twice and it really helped the condition of my hair. It did look a bit flat to be honest but to combat this I used volumising shampoo and that definitely made a difference. After about two months I LOVED my hair because the roots were just coming through so it was perfectly straight whilst having volume still. I'm growing it out now just because i fancy a change but definitely look into it. Go to go-straight.com for info.

It's not the chemical straightening that flattens the hair, its the styling.

For body apply a mousse and dry with a 3inch roll brush, lifting wefts vertically from roots to ends.
