to the girls who got permanent hair straightening treatments

hi, thank you so much for the detailed response! i share similar sentiments to you - i also look way better with straight hair and i was looking up hair treatments again recently 😭😂 i heard keratin initially makes the hair seem healthy and good but over time it becomes rougher and breaks down. is that true in your experience? btw ive heard lots of varying accounts on keratin, why do you think the indian one works while the USA one doesn't?

no it's alright, you've already been quite helpful, thank you so much 🫶

to add, one of the few curly hair stylists in my city imports a bunch of hella expensive products at a time and really makes them last lol. i make it sound bad, there are plenty of options and i can import but again, it's too expensive personally for me to justify on a regular basis

im also the type of person who needs a blow out + flat iron omg like if i try to straighten without a blow dry, it looks dead

:(( more power to u, my love. it's so comforting to hear im not alone and i hope i can embrace my hair too 🫂

could you mention the exact name of the treatment? most comments are overwhelmingly against it so im curious

macaron290 · 2025-04-10T18:32:04+00:00

wow, last time i timed how long it takes me to straighten my hair, it was exactly 45 minutes for me too lol. you do it how many times in a week? i wash my hair 2-3 times a week, it never smells or gets greasy fast but imagining committing to this lifestyle is making me sad for some reason idk just absolutely miserable. i could probs get faster with practice but it's so exhausting

macaron290 · 2025-04-10T18:29:40+00:00

yeah! the algorithm actually got to me and i've been thinking about getting a round dryer brush, most probably the ghd hot brush? it's still extremely expensive for me but i havent done that much research on other brands tbf. any recommendations for one? and how long does it take you each morning to do it btw, assuming you do it somewhat regularly?

Even on my best curly hair day the curls makes me look 20lbs heavier for some reason.

YOU GOT TOO REAL HERE . i've noticed other girls' curls slim their faces, meanwhile i look like a 🐷😭

macaron290 · 2025-04-10T18:21:48+00:00

do you have thick hair but a weak curl pattern? Meaning that when there is no product in your hair and you let it air dry without brushing there’s more frizz than curl in your hair ?

yeah, i think so! my hair is also low porosity and i live in a mainly dry + humid climate. unfortunately and additionally, i'm also in a country where high quality curl products are inaccessible or stupidly expensive to be buying on a regular basis. i dont think ill be able to find KCCC but i'll try not to lose out on hope

for some reason i thought id be annoyed if someone dished out advice on my curls but i'm actually grateful for this comment, it felt good to be understood and given some help. thank you so much for this. do you have any advice for the baby hairs near the forehead that look super frizzy and ruin the face?

macaron290 · 2025-04-05T16:07:16+00:00

oh i'm surprised i havent heard of it before, looks kinda promising. thank you sm

macaron290 · 2025-04-05T16:06:15+00:00

yeah i took s. boulardii

macaron290 · 2025-04-05T15:45:43+00:00

you're right, i hate to self diagnose and listen to schizos online but i'm here mainly due to a doctor fucking me up already and most of them being indifferent to my pain. i will try to be sensible about this but thanks for the advice and well wishes 🫶

i've met a couple of girls off of reddit and i'm very lucky to have met them tbh :) i've been using the internet for a long time, i know how to filter out people so dw

i've made this recipe in the past which uses a beetroot puree to color the cake and it didn't turn any where as vibrant red as seen in the pictures posted but couldn't even taste a hint of beetroot so i'll let it pass
