Boots hair straightening kit: Anyone tried it??

[4andnotout]

I hate straightening my hair so thought this may be the way to go! Has anyone tried it?

I saw it too but was too scared to try it in case it went wrong!
I spoke to my hairdresser and she says its not as easy as it looks (but then she would say that wouldn't she!)

Ohhh, going to watch this one as I have been looking at it aswell and cant find anyone who has tried it...

Maybe i should just bite the bullet...whats the worst that can happen

Let me know how you get on x

I've had my hair 'permanently' straightened at the hairdressers and it's great but expensive so I'll be interested in hearing about how it goes!

there was a thread on this about 6 mths ago try a search and you'll get some answers (i'm no good at links)

All that is usually used is perming lotion, but of course instead of using rods to curl it you keep combing it while the lotion takes.

So what you need to do is keep the hair as straight as possible while the lotion is on, so keep still and keep combing the hair over and over.

The most important bit is the neutralising (same with a perm), as this is what locks it in, if you don't do this bit right the first stage doesn't matter at all. Again keep combing the hair as straight as possible for the time frame.

I have thought about it myself, but the only thing that puts me off, is the wavy/curly roots when the hair grows and it does dry your hair out quite a bit, causes breakage.

yep its great!! bit of a faff but loads cheaper than the hairdressers and the results lasted ages with me!
