i have naturally wavy hair, and i want my hair to be straight permed. i know that it will eventually grow out and my hair will be wavy again.. but i don't care. i just want to test it out. the thing is, i hear it's really expensive. just how expensive is it? what if i get it done at a cheap chinatown hair salon? thanks

Maybe give some free advice about: Fashion and Styles?
Only thing i can say is if you are going to try to do it yourself as long as you know how to read and follow directions you should be fine!! Its funny how people try to tell you what to do and they probably nevr tried it themselves, just goin by someone else, you know? Salons actually overcharge you for this process cuz they dont actually think you would sit down and take the time to do it yourself. Why are they charging you 200 if you can get the porm for 30 or 40? AND yes it can damage your hair if you do alot of things to your hair like constantly add other chemicals.

i got this thing called perma straight and i got it at my salon which is one of the best in like the area i live in and it was around 550 dollars and it stays pin straight until your hair grows out so maybe 4 months?? mine still going its only been 1 month so i cant really answer 100% but whoever said 70% is an idiot. ALSOOOO you could get easy straight at cvs for like 30 bucks :]

i really don't recommend straight permed :s it damages your hair alot! ...i also have wavy hair and i prefer using a ceramic ion-laser iron i thing its called a hair relaxer or things that help you to straight it and protects it from heat =) what i just did was to cut my hair so i will have light hair , i mean take most of the volume of your hair =) so it wont take to long to dry and straight it =) and if you wanna take caare of it more you can do that of the volume and get some extensions (NOTE: i prefer clip on natural hair xtensions)cause the ones that are attached to your hair really damages your hair and the extensions damage so easily and the clip extensions last more =) ...so thats what i do less volume, spray to make it easier to iron, extensions so you wont have to iron your whoooole hair just so it looks good =) hope you get the idea lol

Japanese treatment is $200 and up if you want to get it done right. $100 and up at a cheap place where they might screw it up. $50 and up at a hair stylist academy where they may -really- screw it up.
I'd get it done from a legit source. Don't go by price. Perms are tricky and if you put a fraction more or less mixture into the solution your hair may either not be effected at all, go really curly or change texture, change colour or drop out.
I'd save up and spend $200 and make sure I don't go bald.

It comes in a box, and you can do it at home. I saw it in Sav-On/CVS for $29.99.
Japanese salon straightening is hundreds of dollars.

I got mine done for 70. It really depends on how long your hair is and how curly/wavy is. My hair was kinda long and pretty curly. So yours will be cheaper. You can stop by a salon and they'll tell you for sure because it really depends.
And yes, you could get it done at a cheap place but they might not do such a good job (i.e. leave it in for too long, not long enough, etc.)
