My hair is wavy and tends to get very frizzy. Taming it with heat and styling products often takes time and most of the time, the frizz comes back within a few hours. I was feeling quite tired of having to make my hair look halfway decent and I thought getting them smoothened/straightened would be the best thing to do. There is very little maintenance required and even though it is damaging to the hair, you are at least not subjecting your hair to heat on a regular basis.
I also love the look of sleek, straight hair on myself and I feel it suits me a lot more than wavy hair.On the Lakme Salon menu, I found 3 options – Smoothening, Rebonding and Straight Therapy. I was thinking of going for Smoothening like I had done in the past but the stylist told me that they do not use a straightening iron at all in the process and just blow dry the hair so while hair does get smoother, the waves still stay.
