Thick, wavy, and frizzy hair !

[Emmsmom]

BEFORE I got pregnant my hair was just as straight as it could be. I have always had very thick hair tho. AFTER getting pregnant my hair color got darker and my hair got harder. Later on right after I had my DD my hair started to get wavy and frizzy. I have had to have my hair thinned out for as long as I can remember. I HATE IT!!! I am actually thinking of having my hair straightened at the salon. She said it should help with the frizziness and it should also help with the poofiness. I can stand sidways and my hair will stick out at least 3 or 4 inches from my head because of the natural curl, thickness and the frizziness. HAs anyone had thier hair straightened out and if so how did it go. ANy regrets?

I have had a "reverse" perm I guess thats what they are called. And no it didnt work at all! I have a Chi iron, and I straighten my hair after I shower. They are kind of pricy but not too bad, but.... its worth a million bucks in my eyes ;)

I posted about this on another thread. I have the same problem. I always used to have it relaxed at the salon and it would last for a good six months. Lately, I have been trying to stay away from chemical processes because they take their toll on your hair. i also try to wear my hair naturally curly sometimes. I purchased a Maxiglide ceramic straightening iron and it is great!! You get salon quality straightening at home. I has varying degrees of heat so you can control how hot you make it. It cost me about 100 bucks but it pays for itself if you save at least 3 trips to the salon by doing it yourself at home.

How come it didn't work? What went wrong?

I also worry about the chemicals in my hair. I have "virgin" hair and so I figure at least once won't hurt. I had even thought about just trying a "straight" curling iron. I wouldn't know where to begin looking or for that matter what brand. I just know I ma ready for a change and something has got to give. I had even thought of cutting it all off.:rolleyes:
