Hi Shoelover, I want my hair straightened too. I've heard the best treatment by far is the Keratin Hair Straightening Treatment because it doesn't damage your hair so much (only slightly I believe). The only problem is it cost Ł200 a go and you have to have it done every three months to keep it up. The Keratin treatment is new to the UK, so you will have to Google it to see if there's a hairdresser in your area that does it. I really want mine done! Good luck whatever you decide!
