My hair looks terrible down lately, cuz of the length it is at and becuz I have wavy hair. I have been forced to wear it in a ponytail all the time lately even though I don't particularly like ponytails. I was thinking while my hair is at it's current length, I should do something else with it till it is a little bit longer to look good down again. I was thinking either 1. getting it relaxed (I think that's what u call it, whatever makes ur hair straight) or 2. getting braids similar to Kid Rock's old do. The question about each is how badly will relaxing hurt my hair? And if I get braids like that will i be able to keep them in? Or will I have to take them out to wash my hair and stuff?
I was once told that unless you undo your braids and wash them
from time to time...the hair will rot.
This is basically true since I've witnessed it myself (on someone else).
If you do not like your hair being so WAVY...that is...
if you are not HAPPY with your hair as it is, then it might
be worthwhile to look into having it straightened
by a trustworthy stylist.
Good Luck!
Before you go all out and get the Japanese straightening system, to see how you like it.
definitely try a straightening iron first, before shelling out mega-bucks for a permanent solution... the cheapo-irons are wax :)
I personally wouldn't spend any $$$ on the bio-ionic solution.
Not even my gf spends that much money to get her hair fixed up.
I had my hair braided for about two months but it did kinda fall apart after a few weeks. Also it can be a pain to wash, i got a bunch of dandriff and had to get dandriff shampoo. Also with some people braiding your hair can make you lose it. However doing it just for a short time prob wont matter. I took it out and had a shit load of hair cuz all that hair you lose on a daily bases piles up. I did like it braided but it can come with a cost. I dunno anything about getting it relaxed.
