Hair Straighening

[crapmemory]

I am fed up having to blow dry and then use straighteners and came across a kit called got2b play it straight. I have read mixed reviewsnd just wondered if anyone on here had tried it, and if so, is it any good? TIA

I haven't tried that one, but I did use a similar one about a year ago. Big mistake. It took hours and it totally wrecked my hair - I had to get it cut and spend a fortune on conditioning treatments just to get it half decent, it was completely fried. And it was still curly! If you can afford it, go for a brazilian blow dry - groupon and wowcher sometimes do offers. It's a lot dearer than the kit but worth it. I've had 2 and they leave your hair so shiny and healthy.

From someone who has manic curls, I agree with karenmac...I have never tried the kit you have mentioned but I have had many Brazillian Blow Drys and they work wonders with my hair.

Thanks for your replies. I had a feeling that was going to be the answer. Unfortunately, I can't afford a brazilian blow dry:(

Like I say cm, sign up for groupon and wowcher. I got a wowcher a couple of months ago for a bbd and a cut for 50 quid - now considering it costs the best part of 30 for a cut at most hairdressers these days, it was a brilliant bargain.

Ps, if you really can't stretch to it, John Frieda's 3 day straight isn't too bad. It's a spray you use after washing. You still need to straighten, but if you can last 3 days without washing your hair, the results last pretty well and you can get away with not having to straighten every day.

Is it sad that I am sniggering at Brazilian blow dry?

Thanks karenmac60. I do like John Frieda's products, so I think I'll give that a go!
