With your encouragement and support, I was able to go where no wholeheart has ever been before and boldly enter the world of hair straightening. After a 6 hour deep treatment, I rinsed my hair and applied Ogilvie Hair Straightening system with the help of my husband. He was so sweet, and did a great job in spite of the fact that his nostrils were being assaulted by the smell. He kept saying "this stuff smells like a sewer!" I had to laugh at him whilst keeping my hair straight and combing like crazy. I only left it on to process for 10 minutes and probably could have left it on longer. It reduced my frizz factor by about 80%, which I feel is phenomenal results! Also, my hair feels very soft and manageable which I attribute to the leave-in conditioner that came with the straightening system. It really is fantastic stuff and I am hoping it could be purchased separately. I intend on finding out. Overall, I am very satisfied with the results, although the dryness is still persistent. I plan on continuing my deep treatments and I know it will improve. I just came back from the doctor's office (had a tube surgically implanted in my right ear) so my hair is a little mussy from lying cockeyed on the surgical table, but you can get a good impression of the results. Thank you all for your good wishes and hair vibes. You all have been such a blessing, and I am proud to be part of such a wonderful community. __________________ "Here am I and the children whom the Lord hath given me.

Hubbs finally said "Look, I have 4 sisters & a mom. I've smelled everything!"  | | | January 5th, 2005, 06:09 AM | #5 | | Long Hair Guru Join Date: Apr 2004 Location: Here, rather than there.

Do you feel your natural wave pattern has returned? Perhaps the first perm was just too strong, and this realy relaxed it to just right. Looks fabulous!!  __________________  A visit with friends makes for great hair!
