Any experience of Brazilian hair straightening?

[GinAndaDashOfLime]

Trying to cheer myself up post baby and was wondering if anyone has had a Brazilian hair straightening (as opposed to a Brazilian bikini wax!

I've got very thick coarse, shoulder length wavy hair which is so unmanageable that I wear it tied back every day. The other day I caught a glimpse of my reflection and I realised I've turned into "school run mum" with tied back hair / fleece / no makeup / flat boots - and it uttetly depressed me

Got 3 DCs so no time to faff around straightening my hair after each wash - and I've always been truly crap at doing it myself anyway..

So can anyone help?

Does it work?
How long does it last?
How much does it cost?
And can anyone recommend a salon in SE London / Kent?

TIA for your help transforming me back to someone I like the look of!!

the amazon kit works for me but you do need to check your shampoo ingredients, its sodium chloride you need to avoid, if flush I use ojon damage reverse, if not I but sainsburys cherry kids shampoo. lasts up to 3 months if I do it to the letter and use the right shampoos.
