Chemically straightening hair - for guys?Hey, I was wondering what your experiences were with chemically straightening hair (namely guys who have done it permanently)? This is because I want to grow my hair long - and when I have had it previously very long it is very curly and messy and I don't like it very much. I tried straightening it for 20 minutes every morning but it kept getting messed up by the wind. The style I want is more of a sort of "rock and roll" style but I simply couldn't achieve that when I previously grow my hair long without straightening it.
Where could I get my hair straightened and how much does it cost? -

Re: Chemically straightening hair - for guys?Hey
I'm not a guy! But I have hadmy hair chemically straightened twice; one with yuko and once with ionic.
The first time (yuko) I had it done n Bristol (Jasper hair) and it cost me £300. My hair was several inches below my shoulder (maybe 6?). My hair was not dead straight after (my hair i VERY curly and frizzynaturally), but t was almost straight when washed and easily staightened and stayed straight (miracle!).
The second time was with ionic and was for a touch up of6/7 inches of curly root. It cost me £180 that timeand I had it done in Cardiff at chi-chi salon. Again not dead sdead straight, bu it seems straighter than last time I think and it is wher I would go back again for further touch ups. I definitely recommend it and am so plased I had it done as it has made my lifeSO much easier! -

Re: Chemically straightening hair - for guys?So is it really expensive to chemically maintain straight hair? Could I straighten it once chemically and then just use flat irons on the roots as it grows out?(Original post by angel_night)

Re: Chemically straightening hair - for guys?There is something called Str8forward by Scott Cornwell that straightens hair, you can get it from boots for £10. Im about to try this out myself, I just need to get 3 days off work in a row as your not allowed to tie your hair back for 3 days and I need to.
