Chemical Home Hair Straightening Kits
If you would love to have permanently straight hair but don't really want to pay the expensive salon prices, then why not have a go with a home chemical straightening kit? Boots have recently introduced one into their range, and it has been well received. The kit uses the same Japanese technology that is currently being used in salons around the country, yet is available to you at just a fraction of the price - £14.99.
The kit acts to permanently tame your frizz and straighten your curls until your hair grows out.
The advantages of the kit are numerous: first of all, look at the value. How can you go wrong at just £14.99? In addition, you won't need to use your straighteners as much in the future, which will protect your hair. Once straightened, your hair will be resistant to humidity, so your hair will stay straight and beautiful even if you have to dash through the rain to catch the bus! Another advantage is that this kit actually leaves your hair stronger after you've used it. It contains proteins that restore the connective bonds in your hair, and leaves it stronger and in better condition than it was before you used it.
However, a word of caution. It should not be used on hair that has been bleached or highlighted, and it is not suitable for Afro-Caribbean hair (sorry, ladies).
How do I use the kit, is it difficult?
Actually, the kit is quite simple to use.
- You apply the straightening cream all over your hair
- You leave it to develop, then rinse it away and dry your hair. For the best results, immediately straighten your hair using your ghd's or other electrical straighteners.
- Apply the neutralising cream, that will lock your hair permanently straight.
The kit should be used about every three months to cover the regrowth.
