For all those waiting on my report on the permanent blow dry (and for anyone who has frizzy hair that is hell in humidity etc)....

OH..........MY.............GOD

I washed it out this morning

Left it for 10 mins then...

2 minute rough blow dry and it was dry - result - lovely normal looking hair, slightly tousled and NO FRIZZ
(usual time taken 20 mins - usual result - ball of frizz)

1 minute styling blow dry - only top layer - result - looked like I had been to hairdressers!
(usual time taken 15 mins, sectioning layers etc - usual result, looks ok but still a bit frizzy and bouffant with bits sticking out)

20 second top layer ghd session (to define top layer) - result - perfect.
(usual time taken - 15 mins, sectioning layers ett - usual result - looks good)

Then off to work
Very humid on tube and outside
Usually it would be looking big and coarse and wiry by the time I got to work
Today - looks amazing. My hair looks totally different texture, is all fine and soft, not wiry and frizzy at all

The best £200 I have ever spent IMO!

didn't have time to leave to dry naturally this am (just in case it didn't work!) but will try soon and update you all.

(for those who wonder what i am on about, I had one of these on Friday)

LOL at the before and after photo - love how they photoshopped the skin smooth in the "after" ... so for £200 you get straight hair AND plastic surgery - bargain!

CountessDracula · 17/07/2008 16:06

£200 for 6 months of not worrying about hair beets

6 months really

I could do with this as my hair is amnightmare if I don't straighten

CountessDracula · 17/07/2008 16:11

yy mine too
And when it is humid it makes no diff I can straighten and blow dry for hours and as soon as I walk out the door it will puff up into a frizz

I want I wnat. Can it be done on highlighted hair or will it be chemical overkill and all fall out?

Beetroot · 17/07/2008 16:12

we don't get humid down 'ere

CountessDracula · 17/07/2008 16:14

best on dyed hair!

Beety I am going to a wedding in West Virginia (hot and humid as all hell) in 10 days! That's why I had it done

Also great for post swimming hair

good lord that sounds good! but surely there is a catch ????

GreatGooglyMoogly · 17/07/2008 16:53

Did you have it done at the same place as the DM person? Does anywhere else do it? I wonder if DH would let me spend that much!

CountessDracula · 17/07/2008 17:01

no catch that i can see so far

I had it done at Daniel Hersheson yes
I don't think anyone else does it
my hairdresser is on the case!

Could you have it done if pregnant?

CaptainUnderpants · 17/07/2008 17:51

Is there a waiting list for this this treatment at the salon ?

Did you have a consultation first before you booked to have it done ?

Quite interested as my hair is naturally curly and I never can get that lovely curly natural look just frizz and strange curls !

Was it £200 or were extras bolted on ?

CountessDracula · 17/07/2008 17:52

no idea re pregnancy

Yes you had to go first for free consultation

It was £200 on the spot
and they didnt try to flog me products

OP posts:
CountessDracula · 17/07/2008 17:53

I think you can get within a couple of weeks

CaptainUnderpants · 17/07/2008 18:00

see for me to have this done I have to get over two hurdles

  1. to pluck up tyhe corage to actually have the treatment
  1. to pluck up the corage to walk into a salon like this - I would feel a bit intimidated .

Sorry 3 hurdles -

  1. to have a spare £200 - perhaps I'll save my pocket money
LittleMissBliss · 17/07/2008 18:05

has anyone noticed in one picture the model has hazel eyes and in the other green?...

Sounds like a good treatment but would be even better if it was a tenner!

CaptainUnderpants · 17/07/2008 18:09

i do think that in the picture they could have chosen someone with curly hair not just a kink , although the picture was of the journalist I think .

GreatGooglyMoogly · 17/07/2008 19:22

Did you just have the treatment or a cut as well?

RuffleTheAnimal · 03/08/2008 14:02

i wonder if cd is in w virg now and how the hairs doing?

amess · 01/10/2008 10:00

I would be interested to know if you actually had frizzy hair or hair that just frizzed a bit and how you get on now with the morning weather we get now.

amess · 08/10/2008 10:16

anyone tried this and is it working still especially with the weather being as it is now? I'd be really interested to know.
