This isn't the shit that straightens curly hair for about 6 months is it?
I believe it does work. It's just your hair then looks like "curly hair that's been straightened" as opposed to "straight hair"

Keratin's the stuff hair's made of, right?
They blow dry hair into hair? Hair and fingernails, in fact. Also rhino horn, if I'm remembering my biology right. Can't see the attraction, myself.

I think the argument is it makes the hair thicker so straightens under it's own weight
Sounds like utter horseshit to me, but it does seem to work on some people.

I plucked my eyebrows too much in my 20s
They've got thicker again now, but they start thinning again once you approach 40 so I doubt I have much longer with them.

You can get eyebrow transplants now
They cut some of your scalp off and sew it above your eyes.

Apparently it takes a while to behave like eyebrow hair, so you have to trim your brows every day.

Hahah, the things people do!
imagine little plaited eyebrows!

Well that was my thought
You could put little bows in or something

Yeah, a close friend of mine had it done
It does work, but on her it looked a bit odd close-up because, well, it's hard to explain but it looked like curly hair that was straight, if that makes any sense. It did stay straight for a few months though although she had to be quite careful with washing and rain and stuff I think. But she had REALLY curly hair

Mind you, I honestly can't imagine why anyone would want to go from just wavy to straight. Wavy is just generally much more attractive.

i don't mind curls and i don't mind waves
but the problem with mine is that with london water it goes frizzy and THAT is just awful. so it's the frizz i'm really looking to tame.

thank you, this is good info.

£300 would easily buy you 6 months worth of Evian to wash your hair in, though ;)

ha
but then it would be cold. which is good for sealing the cuticles after conditioning and making it sleek, i suppose...

Is there not a Brita filter type thing
that you can put on your shower to stop the water being so mingy? Mine does exactly the same but as it's curly already it just goes horribly afro-like.
If there isn't one, someone on here should invent one but I want a cut of at least 30%...
