Question Posted Wednesday January 26 2005, 3:05 pm
ok well im a white female and i was thinking about getting my hair relaxed. my hair a a little wavy but not that bad its just some what thick if i dont straighten it. i was wondering 1 if anyone would or wouldnt recoment it and 2 wat to expect like how straight it would be/stay and wat i would have to do to get it straight. the lady at the hair salon told me my hair should be permanently straight
Additional info, added Thursday January 27 2005, 7:55 pm: ok well just to let everyone no my hair isnt thin but its not think like when i straighten it with a straightener it get thinner but its sorta thick.. the reason i want it done it because i have swim class first period and we dont have time to straighten or dry our hair and my hair looks like crap after it so i figured getting it relaxed is my only option.

Meaning I have very, very curly hair that is really thick! I have to get a relaxer done or my hair will be uncontrolable. But your hair is only wavy which can be fixed easily when straightening your hair with a straight iron. For people with a lot of hair its well worth the money. But I think if you getit done it would be a waste of money. No it dosen't make ur hair fall out and no it dosen't only last for 2-3 weeks. Depending on where you go and how much you pay is how long it'll stay in. Usually its about 4 months. [ truebluespirit's advice column | Ask truebluespirit A Question ]

sweetascandii answered Wednesday January 26 2005, 7:00 pm: Hey! I got that done a while ago too. Hair relaxing stays for about a few months. Its about $50 (but may increase depending upon your hair length) and it takes about 1-2 hours. Hair relaxing is extremely bad for your hair. It is meant for hair of african americans. There is a different kind of straightening perm called a Japanese straightener. It costs A LOT more (about $500-$1000) and may take about 4 hours. It is worth it though because it stays for about a year or even more. If you do decide to get a hair relaxer, make SURE you don't get it wet for about 48 hours and also make sure the hair products you use won't damage or mess up your hair/perm. Hope I helped!

azngemini answered Wednesday January 26 2005, 5:50 pm: i've had my hair permanently straightened twice at a salon. it's kind of bad for your hair because it damages it and you get a lotta split ends(if you straighten it often), but it's so much better than frizzy hair. to get it permanently straightened, you have to go to a hair salon and get a japanese straight perm. the process takes like 5 to 7 hours, and it's like 250 dollars(depends on the salon). your hair should be straight for 6 months to 1 year. some salons are really cheap, but the perm is poor. some salons rip you off and then you get frizzy hair again in a month or so. carefully choose your hair salon...

Wowitzbrit answered Wednesday January 26 2005, 5:08 pm: I was going to do that to my hair and I asked the lady at my salon and she said honestly its a waste of money. She says it stays striaght for like 2-4 weeks and it is supposed to stay striaght for 3 months. So I decided not to do it. But my friend got it done and it messed her hair up really bad. So I don't recommend it to anyone.
MummuM answered Wednesday January 26 2005, 4:49 pm: It stays for at least 6 months. I got it done and my hair was super straight, it looked really pretty. Another thing that works good (if you don't want to pay so much to get your hair permanently straight at a salon), you could try buying a perm, in the box. They work just as well. You do the samething as you were to do putting in a perm, you just don't put in the curlers.

xASH answered Wednesday January 26 2005, 4:02 pm: I'm not sure how it works for white people, but I know it makes my hair really straight, and yes it will be permanetly straight. I always thought perms were too strong for white people's hair( since black people do have thicker hair), and it would take their hair out. But since a professional says its okay then you should go through with it. [ xASH's advice column | Ask xASH A Question ]
