Date Posted: Oct 20, 2002 at 8:51am ok, i have been thinkin for a while of straightenin my hair...... so... if i did... with a hair straightener... WHAT would i apply to my hair? because i remember i used to straighten my hair when it was permed curly..but i never knew anythin about applyin a product before u straighten ur hair..and so after about 2 months of straightening daily..as u can imaigne... my hair was so damaged...and coarse... so i dont want that to happen again!

They do not damage as much as normal metal irons. Cost about 90 pounds. search the net for more info + reviews. do u live in east london as there are several shops selling them there. yadagi %!

I tried them on my hair last week .My hair is very curly and frizzy( did u see my homepage piccy of my hair type) and they got my hair dead straight, in 45 mins.Usaully takes me 3 hours to blow dry and even then it has to be chemically relaxed 1st to get it straight.I haven`t chemically relaxed for 3 years now so my hair is very curly. Btw i agree it would be great if we could post pics on here.On the aimoo board there is an icon for posting images and it is great. %!

The other place that might sell them is a hairdressers supplier.ask your local hairdresser where they get their supplies from and they might be able to tell u. You normally have to be trade to buy there but if you go in tell them u work for a salon or thet you are starting up your own freelace bussiness ,thats if they even ask you. good luck hope you find them. %!

But I really believe that straightening your hair won`t make your hair fall out. I staighten my hair and it is sooooooo long and healthy. My goal is classic length and I`m almost there. So the staight iron did`nt ruin mine.

I only straighten mine a few days in a week or less. Just don`t do it everyday and you`ll be fine.
