queen28: usually different kind of straightening perm lotion shows different result, depends on your hair condition, some can damage your hair so bad, some won`t, you have to be very careful the product you choose, there is a kind of a straighten perm lotion that i had tried on my client`s hair, and the result was not bad, the hair wasn`t really dry that much, it is the japanese product from shiseido, but remember, anything that has to do with the chemical service for the hair, all the chemical product will take the moisture from the hair, so you have to remember to do some conditioning treatment, ok?
