I have curly hair which I straighten with tongs. However when I eventually get a hair replacement i would like to style my hair to try and blend better but even if I used a little bit of leave in conditioner my own hair would curl. Please does anyone have any expereince with chemically straightening their hair. Just to clarify I would order a straight hair system.

I have used both a relaxer and a perming solution to change the direction of hairpiece hair. The relaxer seems to make the hair limp, whereas the perming solution redirects the hair but retains its original integrity.

I'm not sure about straightening your own growing hair. You might want to consult a stylist before you proceed.

Thanks for all the replies guys. Still not really sure what to do though . The main reason I am thinking of chemically straightening it is because you guys have told me hair replacement looks more realistic when you use styling products. If I use these products my hair would inevitably go curly again after using tongs. I was therefore thinking of using a very mild relaxer on my horseshoe hair so after styling it's still fairly straight looking. Any more comments would be appreciated. Thank you.

ps. Just to confirm guys I am not in any way wanting to relax the hairpiece hair; I am talking about relaxing my own hair and ordering a more straighter hair replacement. Hope this all makes sense. So relax my own hair; use straight hair hairpiece; then use gel or whatever.

I was thinking of a product such as this. It seems quite respected; what you people think?
