Does anyone know anything about hair straightening?? *******UPDATE********
Original post by 2009wedding
I have been pricing around for to get my hair straighten. I have called
Lemon Tree (which the owner would be doing it) Chemical straightening is $85
Studio 24 in Sayville Japanese is $250 and for the Brazilian straightening is $250
Every where else I call cost higher close to $600 and higher.
What is the difference between Japanese straightening and chemical straightening? I am so confused any help would be great or if you know a good place to go that would do it for a good price. Thank you
**********UPDATE********** I got the chemical straightening done and it took but there are a few pieces that are still wavy can I go to have the Japanese straightening done or do I have to wait now a little while? I am sorry I didn't listen about doing the Japanese straightening instead of the chemical straightening the stylist said this would be better for my hair and he said my hair would be healthier. Now what do I do? I feel like an idiot cause I went in wanted the Japanese and he said your hair is a little wavy and you just need the chemical straightening you do not need the Japanese straightening. So I listened and thought OK it would be better for my hair and it wasn't. I am sorry girls for not listening to you's.

Re: Does anyone know anything about hair straightening??
Thank you ladies for your help. I am still not sure of what I am going to do. I have called a few Salons today and got prices and asked a lot of questions. I am still finding places that only do chemical straightening but I will keep looking to see what I can find as far as Japanese straightening cause that is what I really want. If you find or know of any Salons in Suffolk county that do Japanese straightening at affordable price please let me know.

Re: Does anyone know anything about hair straightening??
I had Japanese straightening done about 4 years ago. It was amazing! I have very wavy/curly hair and it's extremely thick. Afterwards, I would get out of the shower and my hair was PIN straight. It lasted a long time. I didn't notice my roots becoming curly for a good 4 months. After about 6 months I would have to blow dry the top of my hair (your curly hair growing back in). I loved it.
I got it done in Manhattan and it cost me $350 i think. Your hair gets very dry afterwards so you have to buy a heavy duty conditioner. The chemicals are not typically what damages the hair, it's when they run the straightening iron through your hair during the process....if they keep the heat on for too long your hair can break.
I'm thinking about doing the Brazilian treatment in the next few months. I heard it's a lot better for your hair than the Japanese. I don't know where some of you heard that the chemicals are harsh, because everything I've read has said the opposite.
