Have any of you ever gotten one? Was it worth it? How much did it cost for you? Did it take long?

_unsure.gif

I just wanted some advice about it because I was thinking about doing it... _smile.gif

But see, she's asking if anyone has ever got them. My friend got one but she went to Korea for it. I think it was less than 100 dollars over there. But over here, it's 100+ dollars. Or so I've heard. I'm not for sure though. Who is willing to admit they got one? :]

I stragihten my hair with a ceramic iron.. But seen it takes a while (15-20 minutes) to do it, and after I wash my hair, my hair turns back to the way it was. It doesn't stay straight forever, either. It stays straighter than your normal hair, but it does't stay slick straight for 10 hours.. maybe just the first 4 hours. But then if you blowdry your hair right after and do a certain techinique (that I don't know of), it makes it stay for 8 hours wink.gif

hmm... I have heard about those Japanese straight perms. Never bothered to get one (too expensive I heard). It's true it damages your hair greatly, but it makes your hair easier to handle, and yeah... O.o alot of preps in my school got it, and their hair is pretty.... sorta...

my friends get them all the time...all i know is that i cant' stand straightening hair and stuff so maybe i am biased...but it's expensive, time-consuming, and very damaging to your hair so i've heard.

my friend got one. she loked really nice. nd it depends on yoru hair type .. if it's dry, you should just relax it. but wanyways. ive see npeopel do it before. i have 5 aunties that do hair.. nd one unvle [hes not gay or anything] damm viet people.. lol. but yeah. it takes ahile.. all it is is just straightening, then solution.. then straightening.. nd it repeats for quite awhile. my friend got hers done in the philipines. so yeah. it last's for a real long time. but its jus tthe hair that grows out. i use a ceramic hair straightener. it works well. but you want to know abotu the perm. lol..kau im done

My friend got it done and she loves it. She paid around $150 for it cause her hair is medium length. Just like a curly perm, you just gotta keep going back because of the roots

anyway its fine.. and it costes UNDER 100 dollars depending on where you go and it can come out perfect so dont fret... I GOT MINE FOR 60$$ and it was straight for a very.. very... very.. long time!!!! and my hair isnt falling out x_x and its suppose to thin your hair though and make it softer and the roots stronger and all that other good crapizzle wacko.gif

i really wanted to get it done, but with my hair, it's near 800-900 dollars! So, instead i get it thinned ( to help flatten the poofiness) and relaxed. Since my hair is almost like african american hair, i have treat it just like african american hair. But once i get it relaxed, it doesn't look thick or ethnic at all.

well my hair is white people hair too it's just really thick and curly, and they approved my hair for it, so i guess it depends how curly your hair is....but it's a lot less expensive than a japanese straightening perm!!

never heard of a japanese straight perm....

but i had a straight perm once.

took 2 very long, cruel, boring hours.

my straight hair probably lasted about 6 months+... [it was last Dec. when I had the perm...]

but it's semi-straight now... my hair's sorta stuck like that...


but my hair was long then.... but i cut it short now.

hehe... i curl the ends out now. :O)

200-100 AUD ...

i got my hair done like 6 year ago in m'sia cost $200 but the price would have gone down... go a "asian" hair salon.. they would have experience cos its been around for a while unlike the caucasian salons cos its new to then and also asian prices will be much lower

i had it done 4 time so far... iim korean, and we call this "magic straight" ...and i went to a krn salon all the times. ..so it costs ALOT less (1st time i got it done for 200$ ...2nd and 3rd time was 100$ ..and it was 200 for 4th time again...went to diff. salons at all the times)

..and yes it is worth it... but some ppl still hav to straighten it a lil bit cause it bends sometimes

not 60 =[...more like $300 since its pretty long. mine is a little past my shoulders but its really thick and curly so mine would probably be too. but a lot of the time you can get discounts and stuff. my firend got one origionally for $300 but it only costed her $200 because of all these discounts she got.

anyway, my friend mom is a hair stylist and i can probably get one there for like 130! =]
