Hi LHCF
I'm yet another newbie and wanted to say this board is the greatest and I'm happy to be a part of the LHCF. I'm a member of other hairforums but this is the most informative and friendliest to me by far. I was looking into different relaxer techniques and the Japanese hair straightening system known as, Thermal Reconditioning. Here is a pic of a black woman who has had the treatment. I have seen pics of black women who have had this process and this one was the clearest to present. Here is more information about black hair and thermal reconditioning. Some websites say black women can't receive this service, but if Oprah and Janet Jackson received it and their are in category 4 as far as hairtexture is concerned, I believe anyone can get it, as long as your hair is healthy to begin with. The consultation is very important. Here is the website about Oprah and Janet Jackson getting this procedure done. Look under "what it costs".
There is a big misconception that black women can't have this procedure done, but as you can see, her hair is simply gorgeous! Oprah wrongly informed her audience that this procedure won't work on black hair. It won't work on hair that has been processed with sodium hydroxide because the system uses thioglycotate? to get the job done. I even saw a pic of a black girl with 4b type hair and she and she had it done. When I find the site again, I will post it.
I'm actually thinking of getting this procedure done since it ranges anywhere from $200-$800 depending on hair length, texture, and so on. I figured I spend alot of money a year on haircare products that approximate this range anyway, so why not give it a try? I thought I would share this information since I've benefitted greatly from all of you who have shared all your wonderful haircare tips!Those tips have made my haircare journey all the more better!
