    just a question about straightening hair...is it better to get it permanetly straighten or straighten it every day? cause at the moment I straighten my hair most mornings and thinking about getting it permanetly done at a salon so I don't have to get up early to do my hair

    what do you think?

    i guess if i were u i would go to a salon and ask them to straight it because i assume ur using an iron thingy...
    and thats for ur hair too because ur putting heat on it...
    so u better safe ur time and do it at a salon and get it straight for once and for all!

    what are we talking about here? natural perm or chemical perm? if it's natural perm, i did not know that you can permanently straighten it at the salon. then again, can you do it for chemical perm?

    r u a girl? cause if u are, i'd go to a salon and get permanent straightening. the heat that is coming from the straightening iron everyday is really damaging to ur hair. if don't do the salon way, i would definitely recommend salon products hair protection spray before u use the iron.

    Lol.....definitely a permanent one cause it last ages though they say it only last for 12 months but i got mine done quite a few years ago and my haor has been straight ever since but for me, its a one off thingy cos both the heat and the chemicals damaged my hair pretty badly. I had to use special shampoo after the 12 months cos ma hair became twig like. Yeap, so definitely permanent straightening...-bigclap

    Lol.....hopefully this helps but i used the special Loreal hair products its light orange in colour for mending hair i think, it was not cheap and only lasted me for a month.I used it with the conditioner that came with it. I forgotten the name but i cud go check it out for ya and get back to ya about it. But, i am very sure you could find it in pharmacies and other places. Took me some time. I don do steam or nething cos tats just more heat on da hair.

    No prob MAC nething for ya hahaaha.....i conditioned ma hair everyday(still do) and when i blow dry or straighten my hair now for an outing i apply those heat protector stuff before hand, apparently it helps. I try to avoid any direct heat on ma hair cos hair are protein(keratin) so scientifically if u heat protein they wud denature and that happens to hair too.....-sweat sorry i am a bit nerdy ehhh....hahaha

    dont you get lazy?
    i would go for th perm straightening
    just such a time saver
    and plus it's not like your doing the chemical process once a week, doing it once will be ok
    they last for a LONG time
