Ok, currently I'm going through a bit of hair troubles, actually alot
of hair troubles. Last night I purchased a product called "Easy
Straight", I applied it, and followed the directions perfectly. After I
finished, I sat down to watch some tv while it dried. As it was drying
I noticed it felt terrible, but I assumed this was normal from the
processing. I then decided to see what it looked like and, gasp!!! it
actually ripped the color right out of my hair and now it's breaking
like crazy. I went from dark red curly hair to semi-straight to wavy
dark blond that is incredibly frazzled! I disobeyed the instructions
and re-wet my hair and added tons of deep conditioner right away and
put a plastic cap on . I left it on over night and rinsed it in the
morning, and yet again put in more deep conditioner and left it in with
a cap all day. I just rinsed it out and put some silicone product in
and am currently waiting for it to finish drying at the moment. I
already made an appointment with my hairdresser tomorrow (she'll be so
mad at me!!!) I know that my ends are so fried that they need to come
off right away, but I'm afraid my hair needs much much more, it feels
terrible right now. Please, anyone have any suggestions? I'm pretty
scared and desperate here!!!

There's a lady that had this same kind of disaster with Easy Straight. I'll try and see what she did to get her hair back in good shape. http://www.makeupalley.com/user/notepad/snafuish/ I agree that you should see your hairdresser and see if she could cut most of the damage off. I'm so sorry. Easy Straight is evil. They make it look so nice in the magazines. ! % !c. ` Ba % , 0 " ,"B "2%,$ %,%$(( $ "2 |

| Wow, thanks for the link, what she describes is exactly what happened to me. Fortunately I was able to get a cute short cut that I like (unfortunately I lost about 50% of my hair!) I'll still need several more trims and lots of TLC before I get the dead hair off. You are definitely right about Easy Straight being evil! |
