Performance Flat irons work with almost any hair type and can give a nice, natural look if you know what you are doing. However, they are damaging to hair and hair will frizz out when humidity is high if you don’t use a styling product, too. The results are temporary and have to be redone any time your hair gets wet.

Brazilian hair straightening: This is a chemical treatment in which a stylist applies a keratin protein formula and uses a flat iron to get your hair straight. Theoretically, the protein crystallizes on your hair, which helps keep it straight for many weeks. To retain the look, you need to avoid washing your hair.

Performance Although this method works, at $150 and up per treatment, it hardly seems worth it. You can’t wash your hair or it will return to its natural, curly state. There’s also the issue of a significant amount of formaldehyde being released during the process. It is probably not a problem for occasional use, but imagine your poor stylist! You can get the same effect using a flat iron, styling products and less frequent hair washing, so it’s probably not worth the money.
