Korean magic straight perm is a hair treatment that originated in Korea and has gained popularity worldwide. This method is used to permanently straighten curly or wavy hair and provide a sleek and straight appearance. The process involves applying a specially formulated solution to the hair, which helps break down the natural bonds that give hair its texture. Then, the hair is straightened using a straightening iron to seal the newly created straight shape. Unlike other hair straightening methods, the Korean magic straight perm aims to maintain the hair's health and prevent damage. It uses milder chemicals and a gentler process, making it suitable for people with damaged or weakened hair.

A handfasting ceremony performed by a white witch might sound like something from Middle Earth, but it's becoming the choice of more people in Norfolk.
Elizabeth Webster, from Thursford, is a white ‘hedge’ witch who has performed handfasting ceremonies - an alternative to weddings - across the region over the last four years. Mrs Webster said there has been a rise in the number of people interested in the service.
“The ceremony is not legally binding, so we are seeing people go to the registry office for a quiet wedding, and making the handfasting the big event,” Mrs Webster said.
“I feel honoured that people ask me to do it, I’m performing a ceremony later this year and the two people do not follow the Wiccan path, but they want the handfasting, which is a privilege.”
Mrs Webster, 51, has been a practising witch for the last 35 years. She said she has been "on the Wiccan path" since she was 14 after being introduced to it by a friend.
Four years ago Mrs Webster started studying to perform handfasting ceremonies after somebody said they wanted to have one, and she said she would lead it.
The service involves Mrs Webster casting a circle and calling on the elements for protection, and inviting people in. From words and vows are exchanged and the couple declare their love for each other.
Mrs Webster held one ceremony in her first year, and three are already booked up for this year, and other in 2023.
“I think people like freedom,” she said.
“I think people enjoy the freedom given to them, other ceremonies have their traditions, but a handfasting is totally different, you can bring anything you want, you can have it outside in a field, or barn, dress up how you like, the opportunities are endless.
“That is why it appeals to people, people are more interested this day in the Wiccan side of things.”
Mrs Webster said she was excited about the future, after services had to be paused during the pandemic.
“I'm excited," she said. I thought it was something done on occasion, but I’m doing it more and more.”

This eliminates the need for daily styling and straightening, saving time and effort. Another advantage of the Korean magic straight perm is that it allows for flexibility in styling. While the hair is straightened, it does not lose its ability to hold curls or waves. This means that individuals can still choose to curl or style their hair as desired, providing versatility and variety in hairstyles. However, it is important to note that the Korean magic straight perm is a chemical treatment and should be done by a professional hairstylist. It is crucial to choose someone experienced in this technique to ensure the best results and minimize the risk of damage to the hair. Additionally, proper aftercare is essential to maintain and prolong the effects of the treatment. This may include using specialized shampoos and conditioners and avoiding excessive heat styling. In conclusion, the Korean magic straight perm is a hair treatment that offers a permanent solution for those who desire straight hair. It provides long-lasting results, versatility in styling, and is suitable for individuals with damaged or weakened hair. However, it is important to seek professional advice and follow proper aftercare to ensure the best outcome..
Reviews for "The science behind the Korean magic straight perm"
1. Jessica Johnson - 2/5 stars - I recently got the Korean magic straight perm at a salon and I'm extremely disappointed with the results. First of all, the process took way longer than advertised, and I had to sit in the chair for hours. Secondly, despite the stylist's assurance that my hair would turn out straight and glossy, it ended up looking frizzy and damaged. The perm did not hold well and my hair quickly returned to its natural state. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this treatment to anyone looking for a long-lasting straight perm.
2. Michael Thompson - 1/5 stars - I had a terrible experience with the Korean magic straight perm. I had always dreamed of having perfectly straight hair, but this treatment did not live up to my expectations. Firstly, the chemicals used during the process were so strong that my hair became extremely brittle and dry. Secondly, my hair did not stay straight for more than a few days before it started to revert back to its curly state. It was a waste of time, money, and most importantly, my hair's health. I regret getting this perm and would not recommend it to anyone.
3. Emily Davis - 2/5 stars - I was really excited to try the Korean magic straight perm, but it ended up being a disappointment. My hair became incredibly flat and lifeless after the treatment. I also noticed a lot of breakage and split ends, which was not something I expected. The straight effect did not last long, and within a few weeks, my hair was back to its natural state. I wasn't impressed with the results and wouldn't consider getting this perm again.
