I love straight hair (probably because I'm curly) but like you, I've learned to appreciate my curls. Learning how to fix curly hair truly was a big deal though!<br>I'd love to perm my hair straight. Did you do it yourself, or did you have it done. I'm also curious...if you don't dry your hair, will it dry straight? I cannot imagine hair drying straight...it's so foreign. One more question...how does it look after you wake up. Is it frizzy at all?<br>Sorry for the 20 questions. But I'm thinking of doing the same thing!<br>Bethanyhttp://picturesquelife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385853462957713860.post-20144043796631515652008-01-24T00:49:41.000+08:002008-01-24T00:49:41.000+08:00COOL!

I got my hair permed straight and it lasted over a year and was sooo easy to take care of! just blow dry, add a little product and go! You must be on winter vacation now? I had a great (nervous) time at the speech contest. Most of the participants were students either studying Chinese or studying at university in Taiwan. But the contest had a rule that you can't have been in Taiwan more than 6 years. I learned more political vocabulary than I ever wanted to haha.. but it helped me to get back into studying Chinese which I'd been losing motivation for (as far as opening a book and learning new vocabulary) since the beginning of this past semester and being so busy all the time. Anyways, I'm taking up all your space, maybe this should have been an email! hahaha... what are you doing over CNY?<br>Charnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385853462957713860.post-73878469658608269562008-01-23T07:30:29.000+08:002008-01-23T07:30:29.000+08:00Can't help you with your question, but just wa...Can't help you with your question, but just wanted to say you look beautiful!

As different as it is, the straight really suits you.<br>I haven't a clue what you should do when the straight starts to grow out, though.

WOW. Looks great! I'm a naturally frizzy wavy person myself and I fight the frizz pretty successfully with mousse, smoothing serum, a large round brush, and a high powered blow dryer. Unfortunately, this regimen doesn't hold up to extreme humidity... so there's no way that this regimen would work during summers in southern Taiwan! If you'd like to try what I use I'd be more than happy to mail you a bottle of each. About two years ago I tried to relax my hair with an at home kit and had a really horrendous experience severely damaging my hair... breaking off lots of hair at the root near the natural part. I've thought about having professional straightening, but I've been too scared to do what you did! Keep me posted with how this works out for you... and after it's been tested by the summer humidity in southern Taiwan! I'm interested to see if you feel like you blend into the croud any more with straight hair than you did with naturally curly hair?<br>Sarahhttp://journeytohannahclaire.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385853462957713860.post-70641274742290067342008-01-21T17:20:29.000+08:002008-01-21T17:20:29.000+08:00Amanda - You are so beautiful!Either way your hair...Amanda - You are so beautiful!<br>Either way your hair is lovely.<br>I am a lot like the first commenter - I get my hair permed and then immediately hate it.<br>I have no idea what to say about the curly roots. I would think you'll just have more body at first - and then like a perm you'll have to get it redone when it becomes an issue.<br>jewlsntexashttp://jewlsntexas.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385853462957713860.post-12573626910527106982008-01-21T16:29:49.000+08:002008-01-21T16:29:49.000+08:00WOW!!

And, so she told me that people who perm their hair curly will notice the curls fall away or relax over time, but that doesn't happen when hair is permed straight.<br>I guess we'll wait and see if she was right.<br>amandahttp://amanda47.blogs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385853462957713860.post-2874389968638514132008-01-21T14:49:19.000+08:002008-01-21T14:49:19.000+08:00first off, you look great both ways.

You may find the same thing will happen in the opposite. So you may get back a little body.<br>Enjoy your new hair.<br>DebDhttp://www.debd.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385853462957713860.post-69064670372596512752008-01-21T14:38:59.000+08:002008-01-21T14:38:59.000+08:00Hi Amanda ~ Wow what a difference!

When it gradually wears out and it's straight, I want it curly again. Flip-flop!<br>When I look at both your pictures you posted, I see your sparkly eyes and beautiful smile first...and then your hair. I personally love the curls in the top picture, but I'm sure you'll enjoy a change. :) I hadn't thought about curly roots! That will be interesting to see! :)<br>Debhttp://girottifamily.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.com
