Have been toying with the idea of getting my hair rebonded but worried about "side effects". Will your hair be worse than before after the chemical and processin wears off (heard it lasts until 6 months)? Is "hair relaxing" better (i.e. will not leave your hair dry and damaged)?

I have been having my hair "rebonded" which is also known as Japanese thermal for the last 3 years. There are no side effects that I can see. It doesn't wear off at all. What happens is that the new hair that grows in is exactly the same as the treated part of the hair was before it was chemically straightened. Therefore if you had wavy or curly hair prior to the treatment, the new hair grows in like that but the straightened pair stays straight until it grows out or you cut it off. My hair is dyed blonde and chemically straightened and it looks great. However, I get mine done in Canada every 6 months, so if anyone knows of a hairdresser who does a good job of this in Hong Kong, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I have dyed (brunette) hair and get it straightened for 2 years. I always go to the Hairdressers (in Wyndham Street) my stylist Chris.

Thank you all for your replies. Thanks especially to Douglas L for that well-articulated reply --- much appreciated. I went to a reputable and well-known salon here in Singapore. It was my first time to book in this salon (I usually have my hair needs attended to in another country as I still have to find a salon where I really like). I was pleasantly surprised when the stylist actually said that I don't need a har re-bond. I wanted my straight hair to fall perfectly into place but not look limp and lifeless so he discouraged me from the doing a hair re-bond.... I should probably go to the salon of Douglas L the next time I am in HK.

Douglas L,
His name is Dominic Phua and he is with KimRobinson Plus (#01-46 Millenia Walk, 9 Raffles Boulevard). I only have the e-mail of the salon (krplus@krplus.com.sg) but will definitely ask for Dominic's e-mail when I go back for a trim.
Thanks again and would take you up on that glass of wine next time I'm in HK. :)
