Bleach and straightening

[NIGHT OWL]

Hi there I have a client with full head bleach highlights (3% and 6%), she would like it chemically straightening.
I normally use iOpti smooth but have never used it on bleach, the instructions are up to 40% highlights.
Could anyone please advise me on anything that I could use that I can buy in a one off purchase that is not going to cost a mint,as dont get much call for this service.
Or should I just tell her no!..x

OMG no way trust me I tried it on myself not with opti but any thermal straighter on bleach generally leads to watching you hair go down the sink. I used the Wellasstr8 mild I couldn't help my self I wanted that beckham look but at the time my hair was horrendously thick and wouldn't grown down. I like to test things to the limit on myself even tho it's a complete contraindications in this case. Have u tried a Brazillian Blow they are not technically a straightener more of a smoothing treatment. There meant to be better as the first one I tried La Brazilliana was rubbish but I have heard good things about others on here.

Thank you for your reply Si...I feel the same as you have told my client no way!!, but told her that I will research and see if anything was available.
I have never trained or used a Brazilian blow dry but will look into them.
I am mobile in chavsville and no one wants to pay top prices...they all seem to want everything but dont want to pay for it!!..x

Personally i would use with caution. Sensititised is the one to get. But it is essential that you patch test with it. xoxo

Hi I'm finding it lasts a good 8 weeks. It temporarily straightens,clients finding natural curl coming back after about 3/4 weeks but still very smooth no frizz. Only downside it's a bit fumey so need a window open when using straighteners but other than that love it. Clients said it has changed their life. Ha ha.x
