Measuring unstretched because flexibility is dumb.
No no , I said it WAS ash blond - my natural hair color. Now it has henna on it , so now more blond left
I am not planning on ever bleaching my hair again but I will definitely do separate strand tests with both indigo and cassia and take it from there - if needed. Thanks for that !
No problem!
I never actually experienced the grow-out. I just buzzed most of it off, into an undercut style with #2 clippers, which was really fun for a couple months before I decided to start growing it long. I'm very glad that I am not dealing with half-straight, half-wavy hair, since my natural texture has a lot of body, and the perm straightened hair was super flat. I can't even begin to imagine how much harder it would be for curl types 3-4 to grow out a straight perm. The whole experience made me much more in favor of embracing ones own texture.
Glad to help Henna improves the texture and condition so much that maybe you'll find you don't even need keratin treatments anymore! Glad to hear you are loving it. It's been almost 3 years for me and I'm still super into henna and never plan on stopping.

Wow I was literally just looking for straightening leave-in products right before I decided to check the forum to see what was new. I'm going to check this out! Any recs? My hair is somewhere between 2b and 3a (it's too short to accurately type), but the crown is like a 1c/2a and won't hold a curl. I have tried so many times to "embrace my texture" but it's just not working. I think I need to encourage it to be straighter instead. I've been through this process about a million times, but here I am again...
Oh gosh I wish that was me! She and her hair are so gorgeous. I look nothing like that, but doesn't hurt to admire! Still, apparently I pulled it off really well! Some people said it made me look like the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - I didn't mind!
