I want to get my hair straight just for some change. I have medium curly hair (not too curly but not wavy either). I was looking into japanese hair straightening. Does anyone know about that and how much it cost? How effective is it and for how long? What are my other options for straight hair? I want something that will last for a while.

hmm, my mother in law just got 'brazilian straightening' done- something i had never heard of before. she has had this stylist since the past 30 years and she was against jap straightening big time. so she told the MIL to get Braz done instead and now she's very happy with it. she says it only takes her 5 mins to blow dry her hair compared to 45 mins before and her hair feels great. i didn't really notice a big difference when she was here two weeks ago except that it looked much straighter.
Re: Hair Straightening
I wud'nt suggest ANY form of straightning except using a straightner on occasions. The chemicals used are VERY harsh...and lead to severe hair-fall..and dry out the hair cuticles.
Re: Hair Straightening
I think there are several threads about japanese hair straightening. You may want to do a quick search. I got it done personally and absolutely loved the results. ANd Alhamdulillah didnt experience any side effects at all.
Re: Hair Straightening
I had side effects..and my hair was good for 3 days..only..!I had to wait till the damaged hair grew out..!
Re: Hair Straightening
I suffered too =( and thank God it's finally over!
Re: Hair Straightening
i wanted to get jab straightning too but my friend she's cosmotologist told me not to get one cuz it will serverely damage ur hair, rather u should use a real good shampoo and cond.. which will make ur hair alot healther and super shine for example to use matrix sleek or if ur hair damage use nixion... i notice a huge difference and it takes like 5 min to blow dry my hair....
