I am definitely considering doing the process soon - haven't had a chance to make the appointment. I found two links to further to what I had posted - although one article is an older one, but it does mirror what Debbie said about its contents. And I do agree with people trying to bash other companies products. Here are two links: http://www.consumerconnect.ie/eng/News_+_Research/Product_Recalls/marcia-teixeira-hair-products.html and http://newyork.timeout.com/articles/spas-sport/24773/scared-straight. Would love to keep seeing pictures of "afters" - I want to keep waves and not go completely straight. thanks! lisa Megan and Debbie, thanks for your feedback.

At least mine did--go see someone at Estilio Valdez on 35th& Jefferson, they turned away three people before letting me get the service done because they had unrealistic expectations on the "after". Hope this helped! curlyms: you said you had thick ethnic hair, which means you will keep your hair and lose most of the frizz! if you are still worried, go get a consult, they are almost always free and the stylist will tell honestly.

I'm just wondering how accurate it is. I have come across, in my dealings with professional brands that they sometimes spread "un-truth's" about other brands that may compete with them. Please send me the link of where you found this, we are actually doing a lot of research on this very topic! (megan.dorcey@naturallycurly.com) Thanks ladies!

It's purpose is to control the bacteria that grows on the hair in the 3-4 days that you can't shampoo. It's a great product and I've had excellent results. If your scared, you can wear a protective mask.It will repair damaged hair, cut the drying process in half, soften and straighten.The stylists take the greater risk of prolonged use,through inhalation.Not the public.

I am concerned about the mixed reviews. Hair loss? Burnt hair? Eeek. But I do have a few questions for you: after 6 months does the hair just go to its natural state? Did you find that the chemical had any negative effects on your hair? I love my curls, but I have thick ethnic hair that seems to always be frizzy. I am afraid of losing waves/curls!
