Hello i know that you can get your hair chemically straightened at the hairdresser , prices are different in every hairdresser as for chemically straightening hair at home i would suggest checking out the department stores boots superdrug and other places such as these hopefully this helps . chemical hair straightening kits should be available in these places .

Hi,
My hair is wavy, colored {twice a month with Hydrience light ash brown}, and as the freezy days of Summer approaches I decided to get my hair chemically straighten for the first time. I always use an extra large round brush and a flat brush to dry my hair straight and it takes me 15 minutes, which is a pain in the neck.
Yesterday I went to Eckerd, it used to be Genovese here in Long Island, NY.
I bought Easy Straight for $30.00 and went home to try my new experiment. I followed the directions using all products that came with the kit:
First I applied the moisturizing oil to protect my hair,
Then I divided my hair into 4 parts using the hair clips included,
Then I added oil to the relaxer cream and place the cream jar in the microwave for 1 minute,
Then I mixed and applied to hair as quickly as I could using my hands protected by the gloves provided by kit,
I made sure all hair was saturated with cream,
As soon as I finished applying the cream, I jumped in the shower to get all that cream out of my hair because I did not want ANY hair damage.
I did not wait not even 1 second, I applied the cream to my hair and removed it with warm water.
Then, I rinsed my hair for 5 minutes to make sure all that stinky amonia cream was off every strand of my hair,
Then I shampoo and conditioned as usual.
Then I applied a liquid that was included, it closes the pores of hair,
Then without rinsing the liquid I carefully combed hair as instructed,
I noticed I could comb my hair easely and hair felt moisturized,
Then just as instructed, after 10 minutes of combing I rinsed hair and applied their heavy duty moisturizer leave in conditioner, but just to be in the safe side I also added my own leave in moisturizer to the ends of hair so it would be extra protected, soft and shiny.
Then I combed hair, towel dry, and applied my usual silicone Frizz-out from middle to ends of my hair. I did that because I always used it to prevent frizz and I think it will help my hair if it got dry from the chemicals in the relaxer cream.
Then I let my hair air dry. I did not use a blow dryer as usual.
As I was waiting for my hair to become a frizz ball I noticed it retained its straightness. I could not believe, after dry my hair was straight, but a normal straight, nor sticking out or unnatural but all waves were gone.
It looked like I had my hair blowed dryed with a flat brush.
My hair was healthy, shiny and STRAIGHT!
I am happy, it worked for me.
My shampoo and conditioner are Brilliant Brunette made by Frieda, I bought them at Ulta.
My silicone serum is Frizz Out from Jheri Redding only found at Ulta.
My leave in conditioner can be of any brand, as long as it is for color trated hair.

Creek, I'm wondering about your hair and how it responds to styling. Will it keep a wave if its been up in a bun, or in a braid? What about rollers (not hot ones, maybe velcro)? How's your volume? Does it get flat on top and fuller on the bottom? Can you just wash and go and have straight hair? Is there any body at all? or is it just really really straight? I have thick, wavy hair, and I really want to try this for the summer. Also, did you start your treatment with dry hair, straighteded dry hair, or wet hair? Should it be freshly washed or a couple days dirty?

Roxygal - did you ever get a reply on the best home hair straightener to try? Does anyone know?

Um, Is creek ever gonna respond to those questions? I wrote most of 'em and I would please like an answer. (I am on a different name, right now.)

hey RoxyGal!
U can find the One and only thermal ionic straightener (by: Jherri Redding) A Sally's (well thats what i heard anyways) hope we find it!! (b/c im gonna try it too) Good luck!

phytospecific is the best relaxer.

Yea I am also wondering if any home relaxers actually last longer than a month. I can barely get my hair to be permanently straight for longer than a week even with DIY chemical straightening. speedboxx2007-04-13 22:56:12

Beware, beware of the Ionic Thermal Straighteners sold at Sallys! I use to use the best at home perm for years on my bangs (which are bleached) called Curl Free from White Rain. Anyway, it has been taken off the market (which I still don't understand) and I was forced to find another product. In any event, I tried this Ionic brand for tinted and highlighted hair thinking it must be safer to use on my bangs. You have to flat iron your hair while damp and it fried my bangs!!!

I've mentioned this to several hair professionals and they can't believe you have to apply a flat iron over the perm itself.

I will not use this product again and have since had to buy Curl Free from EBay costing $45.00, but is so worth it to get my old perm back which worked and NEVER damaged my bangs before.

I did notice a new product called Easy Straight at Ulta which seems like it uses a lot less harmful chemicals. Easy Straight offers three different straightening systems. Also, I find the hair professionals at Ulta are much more helpful and knowlegable when it comes to chemical products then do the staff at Sallys.

Good luck.
