[quote=Anonymous]I've never done nanoplastia. Keratin is best for hair that is a little frizzy and just needs to be smoothed out. It is not a straightener. It used to be a lot more effective when it first came out, but it turns out what made it effective is the formaldehyde, which is toxic of course. Better for your health, but in my opinion it doesn't do all that much for your hair. It will strip the color/toner out of your hair, so if you get it done, be sure to schedule your color appointment as soon as possible afterward (usually they recommend waiting 2 weeks). Japanese straight perm is very effective at straightening your hair, but it tends to kind of suck the life out of it. Your hair will be pin straight with reduced body. Since you have thick hair, that might be fine, but I wouldn't recommend it to people with finer hair. It also damages your hair a lot, and you shouldn't apply bleach to your hair if you've done a Japanese straight perm. I get Japanese straight perms and stick to color glosses to cover my grays, because anything stronger is too damaging. [/quote]
