How to care for

There are so many styling products to keep you looking good.

Is it permanent?

If you have naturally straight hair then you have no problem, for those with curly hair, the style has to be done after each wash of the hair, unless one goes for a professional ionic straightening process which will last up to 6 months and achieves the same resuts as the irons. It is a good solution for those with curly hair who want to straighten it permanently.
