Before deciding on permanent hair straightening, there are a few things you should consider.

After all, only a professional master is able to correctly assess the structure of the strands and choose the right composition, taking into account the individual characteristics of the hair.

Hair straightening preparations are divided into strong, gentle and moderately effective. If you use a strong composition on weak curls, you can simply lose them. And a gentle preparation will not have the proper effect on too tight and elastic curls.
