I want straighter hair permanetly?

on good days my hair is generally messy uneven waves, with more curls underneath if i tie it back right after a wash with leave in conditioner. if i left it to naturally dry it would be a big mess of frizz and curls and yuk. ive been researching and ive decided on a home straightening kit. i know theres dangers to it but im gonna have a helper and if i follow the directions exactly they say it should be alright. my hair is thick and healthy although i did have the top part bleached a few months ago. is that a problem? is there a difference between thermal reconditioning, chemical straightening, japenease straightening and relaxing? are they all avaliable in 'at home' kits? what are the safest/cheapest? some i read just make your hair lightly wavey and not compleatly straight, that is okay with me. i would like it to last though until my hair grows out. anyone had any expirience? tips and advice please and thank you.

my mom had it done and it fried her hair her hair fell out alots too. her hair use to be so thick and healthy but after that it thin and brittle. you could always go buy a straightner range from 20 dollars to over 100. i have one that is great chi 1 inch 100 dollars. to me its that best. add some shine serum right before blow drying if you do blow dry if not then tahts fines too. i know this isnt waht you want to hear but telling you that maybe this would be better.

*RELAXING is the only method to permanently straighten*

my advice would to not do it. first of all, those are some strong chemicals that you're putting on your hair and it could possibly burn your scalp or even your hair, especially since you have bleach highlights. relaxers come in different levels and if you use the wrong level it's not going to be a good experience. all of those "kits" are not available to the public. and just like with highlights, you will have to "touch up" your roots because they are going to grown back in curly. So your new growth will be curly while the rest it straight, so once you start chemically straightening you can't really just stop.

to make your curly hair not frizz, products are your best friend. don't be afraid to use a lot. its not going to be the kind of curls you can run your fingers through, but its going going to look good and hold up. you can make what is called a cosmetologist's cocktail and mix as many products as you want. i would suggest a mouse, gel and pomade. it will define your curls and it won't be frizzy.

if you're still dead set on straightening it, then don't mess with at home kits and just pay the money to get it done. your hair is the accessory you wear every day and you shouldn't risk it falling out.

To tell you the truth, I would not recommend you doing this at home. It may well end with you having to buy a wig.... I have seen some horrible disasters from home hair experimentation. I am a hair dresser and I usually am trying to fix what people have tried to do to their own hair. I strongly recommend that you do not use straightening products on hair that has been bleached. Look for a style that suits your hair type or invest in a straightening iron......
