I've gotten the Brazilian. It's not as much a straightening treatment as a conditioning treatment. I had to blow out my hair with a brush to get it straight and shiny. That lasted for about 2 and a half months, after which I had to flat-iron it again. But it was still thicker and shinier for another 2 months after that. I couldn't wash my hair for 24 hours and it cost $300.

Japanese straightening makes your hair pin straight. It's permanent. So you actually get "roots" as your curly/wavy hair grows in and your hair is stick-straight below. It's chemically harsher on your hair so you can't get it if your hair has ever been dyed or highlighted.

Head over to the "Fashion and Beauty" board - there are about 100 threads on this over there!
