OR BUY CURLERS AND USE THEM AN THEN USE THE PLANCHA! I guess. Good points. Ok, you convinced me. I MIGHT NOT do it.
GENIE HAS A GOOD POINT...
IT'S NOT WORTH DOING IT...GIRLS WITH CURLY HAIR WANT STRAIGHT AND GIRLS WITH STRAIGHT HAIR WANT CURLY...
I HATE MY CURLY HAIR...YET I AM SO USE TO HAVING IT CURLY THAT WHEN (THE ODD TIMES) I STRAIGHTEN IT I FEEL WEIRD...I CAN'T STOP TOUCHING IT...AND IT BOTHERS ME...CHANGE IS NICE ONCE AND AWHILE...
BUT KEEPING IT NATURAL IS BETTER...I SAY LAHTINA DON'T SPEND YOUR MONEY...LIKE GENIE STATES...SPEND THE MONEY ON AN AMAZING STRAIGHTNER...SO WHEN YOUR IN THE MOOD TO BE DIFFERENT YOU CAN AND WHEN YOU WANT TO GO BACK TO NATURAL YOU CAN ASWELL...
I did that once and my hair got ruined and it was straight for like a week. My friend did it as well at a so called HIGH CLASS salon and i was straight for a few days and it burned her hair!!! She has to cut it really short because her hair looked so bad!!

LOL, I know, eh! I announce it and announce it y nada de nada, ya hasta parezco Aventura con la dichosa peluca. The first time I told you I wore it but then we didn't see each other and this last time I was going to wear it but Bainaman had to be so punctual! Facking Latinos! You can never count on them!
i say go for it...i would if i hadn't bought a flat iron that i've now mastered and can get my hair done in 15 mins max, and CW is rite, there's always the curling iron when ur feelin extra bouncy
The first time I coloured my hair was Aug 2005, I was afraid that i would damage my hair but i was sick of looking the same all the time so i went ahead and coloured it. I like that you can change your look all the time.
If you go and get your hair permanently relaxed it would only last you for about six months versus all your life with curly hair, in the other hand you can use the iron or blow dryer to straighten it in about 15 to 20 min.
If you think that you can spend the money, i say go ahead and try it.
It doesn't hurt to try and I'm sure you won't be the first one to do it, just let me know your experience with it so that i can try it too.
A FRIEND OF MINE DID THE PERMANENT STRAIGHTNING THING (CALLED CHAI I THINK ) AND IT WAS NOT DAMAGING TO HER HAIR....SHE HAS DONE IT 4 TIMES ALREADY.....SINCE SHE DISCOVERED IT
ALSO.....IT'S IDEAL TO DO IN OCTOBER AND HAVE IT STRAIGHT ALL WINTER...INSTEAD OF RISKING THE HUMIDITY IN THE SUMMER TO FRIZZ IT UP ......BUT IN THE CASE OF MY FRIEND.....SHE HAS EVEN GONE SWIMMING WITH IT AND IT STAYED STRAIGHT....HER HAIR IS MORE LIKE AFRO'S....IN CURL AND IN LENGTH.....
I SAY GO FOR IT....YOU WILL NEVER KNOW IF IT WORKS FOR YOU OR NOT UNTIL YOU TRY IT....AND WOMEN DO WORSE THINGS TO THEIR HAIR THAN STRAIGHTNING IT.....PERMS, COLOURING, SHAVING....LOL

I always knew you were an evil child......
I would really be concerned with how my hair would start looking after let's say 6 months. I might look ok at the beginning, but, how about later on?????
Jeez...such a triviality.....and so hard to make the right decision
I am sure the process has changed a lot in three years since I had it done in Miami. But i can tell you that it was great in the beginning but my hair hasnt been the same since. I loved having straight, effortless hair but my options for styles were also very limited.
If you are someone who has a lot of trouble taking care of your hair and your never quite happy with it.....I SAY ....GO FOR IT.
I think I got it? Is this another step in your quest to becoming "ASIAN". LMAO

Eeeeeeewwwwwwwww.....ok then. GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok... I think I'm gonna do it. Soon. But first I'm gonna read about it more.

Ohhhh pues, make up your mind.
Flip a coin or something

I can offer my help but you kind of live far from me

Ditto girl When I was a kid, I hated my hair, I wanted it straight so bad. I would even cry to my mom that I wanted my hair straightened. But as I grew older and kept getting compliments on it I began to appreciate it.

6 months to a year! Depending on how fast your hair grows. And this is supposed to be "the latest" thing, right. I had my hair chemically relaxed in 95. It was with the cream thing. Anyway, I looooooved it! It didn't really damage my hair but it was pretty virgin back then. @ Julie, I do like the way it looks with the hot iron but first of all I have to buy a really good one. So that's like $150. And the times that I've done it... it sucks. I can't do it nicely. The times I have really liked it, it's because someone else did it for me.
Ask someone from MX to ship you one. The one I had was 700 MxP and works wonders !
And it it just a matter of getting use to do it. Then it will look perfect and form the parts you can't really arrange or reach, ask MM.

Girls, I need your opinion. I'm torn between having my hair permanently relaxed or just straightening it from time to time. Basically MM has told me that he likes me better with straight hair and frankly I do enjoy having my hair straight. I look hot! LOL j/k but yeah. But it's such a pain in the butt trying to straighten it.
I'm considering "Japanese Hair Relaxing". It's a very intensive process that leaves hair completely straight. It's supposed to leave your hair smooth and silky. The creator company calls the process hair Repair because it seems to actually leave the hair in better condition than it was prior to treatment. It takes an average of 3-4 hours. In some places where I've asked they've even said 6! and it costs anywhere from $300 - 1000 depending on the length of the hair, the amount of processing present in the hair, the stylist and of course the place.
