Wow! Chemically straightened? I skimmed over our posts here and see you did tell me your hair was curly. Be careful with chemical straighteners, they are harsh and will burn your hair right off if the person does not know what they are doing. Or if they apply the product over already chemically straightened hair. It takes really strong hair to take this abuse and even they suffer breakage. I usually only recommend chemical straighteners if hair has too much curl and is strong (Asian, African, Oriental, etc.) Tell me about the culture of the Netherlands. Do you have strong coarse hair???

Sounds like you are happy with it and I'd love to see it. Yet, as I say, be careful with that. And once your "virgin" hair starts to grow out at the scalp, it could cause you to be unhappy with the results when trying to spike it. And I fear you'll be back to get that regrowth straightened and that's when the heartaches can start.

Let me know how strong your hair is AND please make sure you trust the judgement of your stylist.

Just looking out for you!!!
