Hi all,
I have been on to read some posts for a while but never needed to start a new thread until now!
I usually use GHD's, but have been asked by lots of clients repeatedly about which other straighteners are near enough as good as them but less expensive. So last week I decided to purchase some others to see how they compared, I used them on myself and found they were actually extremely good!
I used them on my mums hair at the weekend for a wedding to curl it (she has naturally very curly hair, so wanted slightly looser curls for a change) Got brilliant results from the straighteners, very pleased.
However, she washed her hair 2 days later (by this time her hair had gone straight) and her natural curls have not reformed it has stayed straight! In a panic she rang me, and came over so I could wash her hair with my deep cleansing shampoo, a few of the curls did reform but most did not, I washed it again for her the next day aswell and the same not all the curls have reformed! (Just to add I have styled my mums hair in this way before with no prolems at all)
I have rung the company and in the process of sending the straighteners to them for analysis and pictures of my mums normal hair and how it is now, although as I said to them even if the straighteners were faulty I cant see how it could permanently change the structure of the hair!
I have just never heard of this or come across anything like this happening over the 10 years I have been a hairdresser! and wondered if anyone else has?
Thanks,
