So lets recap on what happened:
I went from natural sleek hair to unruly curls, and about a year later after seeing the before and after pictures I went for the Japanese Hair Straighter (and just to be clear the salon I choose is an upscale upper east side salon where they use supposedly the best product for this technique, Liscio). I even asked them to show me the bottle, the stylist certification, and the whole process cost me around $600!!!
