Will straightening my hair chemically make my hair permanently straight?

Question

i have curly hair and am sick of it. i am a male. i want to chemically straighten it. will it be curly again:? also how much damage can it possibly do? and i plan to do this at a salon.

Answer 1

straight till it grows out  

Answer 2

any time you chemically do anything to your hair it will damage it. you will have to trust the hairdresser completely before you get this done.otherwise you will end up with a dry frizz ball. be prepared to spend some money on good hair products to take care of your new chem. treated hair.

Answer 3

Not permanently, permanently....It will be straight for a few months...and It's extremely damaging, with the Chemicals in it.  

Answer 4

your smart to do it at a salon. I didnt i used a box brand and it lasted for a few months and then slowly faded after from straight to wavy but it was very dead so i trimmed it and it didnt grow out easily.  

Answer 5

If your hair is long enough then you could just straighten it with a straightener

Answer 6

yea cause it has this stuff in it the does some weird thing and the also straighten it while they do it so the chemicals will work and it will stay in until it grows back out =] hope this helped and it don't do to much damage unless you do it alot

Answer 7

yes, until it grows out

make sure you find a good place otherwise they'll s***w it up

Answer 8

it will stay straight until it grows out... prob 6-8 weeks maybe more if your lucky. however it will totally mess up your hair and make it reallly dry, damaged brittle and generally not look very good and from prolonged damage your hair will go frizzy due to lack of moisture, personally i think curly hair is beautiful, embrace it. its certainly not worth messing your hair up for!

Answer 9

you need to get a PERM hun!!!! in like 6mos. itll be curllyy

Answer 10

no, not permanently, but for about 6 months or so. It all depends on how well your hair takes to the straightening. Its just like any perm, it only last  until your hair grows out. I just noticed  you are a guy, so assuming as your hair isn't as long as most women's, it may only last for 8-12 weeks  since your hair would get cut more often and grow faster if your trying to keep it short. I would call and talk to a salon and see what they have to say. It could be pretty costly to keep your hair straight.

Answer 11

Not permanently since your hair grows so the new growth would still be curly.

Idk about damage though.

Answer 12

what they said

Answer 13

i had it done,

it's really good.

it works for about 6-7months.

mine didn't look or feel damaged at all,

and i can't remember how much it cost's..it was a while back, but it's different in every salon i guess.
