Hi Steph,
Have you tried doing a roller set instead? You can get nice waves.
I just worry about the chemicals in the Japanese straightening treatment. I understand how you feel though - I have given up on curly hair for the time being, although I will probably go back to it in warmer weather.
Good luck - I know for some people (me included) it's no picnic having curly hair.
