What are suggested hair chemical straightening kits for home? (I have curly, kinky, Caucasian hair)?

- Go curly! Read the book and visit the sites below about curly hair. I did and my once horrible curly hair is now virtually frizz-free ringlets. Now I get compliments on my hair all the time! Straighten your hair- be happy for a day, learn to manage your curly hair- be happy for life!

- To style your hair using the curly-girl method you will need gel, a leave in cream, and conditioner at the minimum. Some less useful, but still nice stuff would be a blowdryer, a diffuser (reduces frizz in curly/wavy hair when used with dryer), and a microfiber hair turban (to dry wet hair while sleeping or in the morning).

-The main philosophy of the curly-girl method is to not use shampoo. This may sound unhygenic but it has actually made my hair less oily and dandruffy. Most shampoos contain some of the same chemicals found in laundry detergent (aka sodium laureth sulfate or anything close to that). They dry out curly hair. Also you shouldn't brush your curly hair dry because it damages the hair and makes it poof.

- Massaging of the scalp with conditioner to remove dirt is all that is needed. It will clean everything but super clingy silicones (cyclopentasiloxane and dimethicone are examples). Then rinse and spread conditioner on the outside layer of hair and the hair at the nape of your neck. Gently comb tangles out with your fingers or a wide toothed comb and rinse with cold/cool water.

- Do not brush/comb your hair after this point because it wil disturb the curl pattern (make sure you already have a part). It is also important to use gel on sopping wet hair and scrunch the hair with your fingers. Make sure gel is distributed everywhere in your hair. If you use too much you can always scrunch out the cruchy texture later.

- Use paper towels or an old t-shirt to gently scrunch some of the water out (generic towels can make hair frizz). Then let your hair air dry or wait ten minutes and then use a blowdryer with a diffuser. Do not touch the hair while it is air drying or it will frizz!

- Use a moisturizing conditioner, such as Desert Essence Organics Italian Red Grape Conditioner (found at health food/organic stores). The combo of products that I use daily is L'Oreal Out of Bed Weightless Texturizer (comes in a black-colored tub) and then Herbal Essences Totally Twisted Gel but there are more conditioners, gels, etc. on the websites.

- Your hair may seem worse at first, but it is just adjusting. This takes 2 to 4 weeks begin working.This is hard to do if you don't read the book, or at least visit the websites. Naturally curly hair can be beautiful! Hope this helps!

I would suggest ONO Curl Remover by Jheri Redding. It comes with a Step 1 Formula and a Step 2 Neutralizer to give your hair a straighter look and shine, and it is fairly cheap. Check out the website below.

I would never recommend using such harsh chemicals on your hair yourself.

You could fry your hair, burn your scalp.

And that could ruin your hair for life.

Go to a reputable hair stylist, spend the extra $$$ and get it done right.

I would never take that chance with my hair.

Good luck

go to Sally's Beauty supply

they will tell you which one is best for your hair

the kit usually comes with oil or something to put around your hairline, neck and ears before you start the procedure

mix the solution

put on your gloves

I think the easiest way for someone to do it themselves would be

use a comb edge as a spatula to apply the cream to the hair

and then comb it through

make sure it doesn't touch your scalp because it will burn

comb it a couple of times while you are timing it

if your head starts to burn too much.. wash it off

use the neutralizer they have in the box

when you are finished.. blow it dry and use a straight iron on it for straighter hair

go to walmart and get the chemical straightener they have that matches your hair type. it works really well. i was in the same boat as you and i tried everything at sally's and other beauty supply stores, but none of them worked and this did.
