✯WHERE I GOT MY PERM DONE✯

Japanese hair straigtening, also called 'thermal reconditioning' which is basically a type of perm that will turn you curly, wavy, and/or frizzy hair pin straight. The chemicals in the perm break down your 'curly bonds' and then the stylist will straighten your hair with a flat iron, to set your hair in that straight shape. The stylist will then reseal or permanently set the shape of your hair with another cream chemical. The ONLY way to get your natural texture back is to grow out your hair and then cut the treated hair off.
I actually have been doing this perm since 2017 and in 2020 I decided to start over and give my curly hair a chance. I soon realized why I permed my hair in the first place. I'm just super lazy honestly. So at the end of June 2021, I decided to get the perm again. My haircut it a little wonky, but I'm okay with growing it out for a while.
