Chemical straightening gives you wonderful results which last for ages, but if you have naturally quite curly or frizzy hair the regrowth looks really really strange.
As for the damage it does to your hair, yes it does make it very dry but if you just keep up with regular deep conditioning treatments or use leave-in conditioner you should be fine, as long as your hair isn't too damaged already.
Also, if you have a friend who speaks fluent Korean or Chinese, head to your local Chinatown/Koreatown to get it done. It's a lot cheaper and they actually have more up-to-the-minute technology than US salons. [ eclair's advice column | Ask eclair A Question ]

It fries your hair, dries it out and it's unhealthy. If you previously dyed your hair or anything like that.. it's even worse. But if you are willing to condition your hair really well, it's good.

I have really poofy and wavy hair and this is what i do: Karastace has this de-frizz oil and it's great. good luck! [ maddie93's advice column | Ask maddie93 A Question ]
