Ladies with Japanese thermal reconditioning......

... can you still curl your hair with curling iron and the curl last?

I want to have bouncy curls for my wedding day, but want my hair straight (japanese) for the honeymoon..

Please let me know.
TIA

Thanks!

Anyone else?

My hair will be wavy for my wedding and I had the Japanese straightening done. However, i've heard many girls who had it done complain that their hair wouldn't hold a curl after. Everyones hair is different.

Noooo! if you want curls in your hair, I highly recommend not getting the thermal reconditioning. I had it a few years back and could not get my hair to curl at all, not even the ends.

And this is coming from a girl who has very curly hair like Mel. B aka scary spice


Why don't you look into something like the Brazilian keratin treatment which is also less damaging.

I have curly hair... I'm looking to relax mine just a little bit, to get the kink out. That Brazilian treatment, is it a straightener or is it a relaxer? Where do you get it done?? Thanx!

From what I heard its supposed to a healthy treatment for hair rather than a damaging chemical. I got it done by this brazilian hairstylist, Sueli, you can find her info at http://www.braziliankeratinny.com/

I did a lot of research before I got it done because it does get some criticism for the small amounts of formaldehyde that the treatment uses to straight the hair. There are some stylist who use formaldehyde-free treatments, however it's really the formaldehyde that makes the hair so straight.

It last up to 3 mo. and cost me around $450 for a little longer than shoulder length hair
