DIY Hair Straightening Products

Hi gals...

I've been rebonding my hair since 5 years ago and i don't realy wanna do it anymore. however, i've got pretty bad curls that kinda sprials at the sides and they're "poking" out really bad!

i was thinking of getting some DIY straightening stuff.. i've seen these Japanese straightening products over at Basic Beauty @ Hereens. Thinking of using those to make my hair a wee bit straighter while growing it out coz it's curly on top and straight below.. such an eyesore.

i heard from a friend who previously used the wella straightening cream that it's way too strong and it did dry up her hair pretty badly.. wondering if any of u gals tried these kinda products before?

DIY hair creams, similar to hair dyes are stronger in a sense that they only have one formula for everyone. So if u have chemically treated hair, fine thin hair, then ur very prone to damaging it easily. Btw, DIY straightening methods do not produce the kind of effects that u may want.

If u really wan it straight and neat, better to spend some money and get it done at the salons.

and its really make my hair dry, need to use more conditioner.
if want a better result, doing it in salon is still a better choice caused got treatment

I have natural wavy hairs too and have been doing rebonding for years.

From my experience, I don't recommend using DIY products. I have tried that myself and I didnt do it properly, hence in the end, the results were very disastrous. The ends become very frizzy and I really want to 'kill' myself! I guess with our hair, rebonding is the only choice unless miracle happens. Else like me, get a good straightening iron also and spende some time straightening it before you go out. It really helps!
