New Hair

It's true! I got the Japanese Hair Straightening done! It's so exciting! It takes so long- 4.5 hours, all told.

Before even making the appointment, you go in for consultation, to see if you have hair fit for the process. The best kind of hair is not TOO curly or kinky, also not processed. Pretty much what I have.

The appointment was-

*wash hair
*blow dry
*put on chemical that opens pores of hair
*put plastic wrap on head, sit under dryer for approx 20ish minutes
*wash off treatment
*TWO people blow dry hair
*flat iron hair into smooth texture
*put on chemical that makes hair stay straight
*wash off chemical with just water
*apply conditioner- set for couple of minutes
*wash off with just water
*blow dry hair
*flat iron
*very small trim

VOILA!

i bought some conditioners for the after effects. i have to not wash my hair and not put it in a pony or anything else that shapes it, for 3 days. no probs.

it's so shiny and pretty! the upkeep is just when the roots grow out. approx every 8- 10mos.

wow!
