Having my hair straightened is the best thing I have done for my hair. As a mom of three I don't have lots of time to dry my thick wavy hair. Yes you don't have to have kinky straight hair to benefit from this process. I can shower and let my hair dry and it looks great. I use to spend over 30 minutes drying my medium length hair after it had already air dried for 30 minutes.

Normally after having permanent hair straightening touchups would have been needed about every 6 months but since my hair was wavy and not curly I was able to wait a full 1 year before having the process done again saving me lost of money since this is a pricey process.

Make sure you do your research before having permanent hair straightening. You want to use a well trained talented stylist. I was lucky to find a woman that not only specializes in straightening buy also trains other stylist. The stylist I used was May Sappington. (via Hair Straightening Info)
