I was awol yesterday because I had to go to NYC to get my hair done, or rather redone! I had Japanese straightening/thermal reconditioning done about a month ago and it didn't take. I know there have been horror stories with people whose hair has completely broken off at the ends with this process, but I've had it done four times at a Japanese salon in NYC with no problems. Unfortunately the girl who normally did it in the last two years has moved back to Japan, so I had someone else this time around. He claimed he had read over my file and knew what I needed, but while it looked good as I walked out of the salon, the ends started flipping in just two days. I was pretty annoyed. Not only is it pricy, but it takes 3 hours of time and not to mention, I also lose an entire day because it takes 2 hrs each way to get to NYC! Luckily, they were nice enough to tell me they'd redo it for free but just to wait a month so I don't damage my hair. So yesterday I headed down again and this time, I felt it went much better. They used a stronger solution and let it sit in my hair longer. This is a picture of my hair when we were done:

Now I just have to hope it stays straight and shiny like that at least for another 3 months. After that, I can use a flat iron again on my own and usually the process wears off in about 6 months totally.
