I have a few questions because I am considering getting it done since nothing else has worked on my extremely dry, wavy, frizzy, poofy hair
Questions:
1. I put highlights in my hair for the first time about 2 months ago and someone did this perm thing on my hair (w/out the curls) to try and straighten it (but it didn't do anything) about one month ago. Can I still have this done without killing my hair? I heard you had to wait some time after putting such chemicals in your hair.
2. Would it really make the frizy/"poofyness" go away? I just want my hair to fall down straight, no matter how much i mess with it.
3. If i mess with it will it still fall down straight? I'm a guitarist in a heavy metal band so I do a lot of headbanging and this is pretty important. Right now if i move around it gets all poofy, if i dont it still gets all poofy in about 15 minutes.
4. Would I have to use gel or anything? the whole reason i want this is so I wont have to use any gels/mouse/spray etc. and my hair will just move naturally.
5. How often do you have to have it done?
6. Anything else you can tell me about this.
Thanks
anyone else???
I think since you tried to straighten your hair with a perm just a month ago, having your hair relaxed now could kill it. It would be best to go to a good salon and ask about it, and also your other questions. There's no substitute for an experienced stylist seeing your hair in person. It sounds like your hair is in bad shape, and even if it can be relaxed, you shouldn't expect smooth, shiny hair. They may be able to suggest other treatments at a salon to improve its condition. Good luck!
