I'm going back to the salon to discuss what method she used. All I know is she said it was the gentlest. I know a few people who have had great results and saw that this person was the first to bring it to the area.
I checked out yelp to see if there were any comments. There was one comment that was positive and since I live in a mid-sized city, I thought that was okay. But the comment wasn't about hair straightening, so that was bad. I believed her sign and since others with frizzy and wavy hair had a good experience, she seemed to think that it would work fine.
I did go online to do research but couldn't find any negative comments until last night. This is seems depends on the key words you use. If you type in botched hair straightening, you'll find some comments.
One comment I thought important is not to have this treatment done on highlighted hair, (which mine is). Another is to go to a Japanese person who knows what they are doing. But I'm not too sure of that, since Japanese hair has a very different consistency than Caucasian hair.
However, if I had to do it again, I would ask for more information and get more recommendations. I would also try more products to tame my hair rather than going through this permanent and damaging process. The salon where I had this done said they are all about healthy hair. If that is the case, she probably should not have proceeded with this process. Many hairdressers, according to online comments, will not do this process.
I will give the hairdresser an opportunity to rectify this situation. I will try and find out what process she used. And then I will contact the manufacturer to see if they recommend retrying the process. My hair is very kinky and damaged so I don't like that idea. The alternative is to visit a larger city and see if I can find someone who is experienced to fix my hair. There may be some people here who are good but I haven't found them. I find in a small town, there are lots of bad hairdressers and you are at the mercy of the good ones. And the good ones are the ones that continually learn.
