The end result is sleek, shiny, and manageable straight hair, it a great choice if you’re looking for something more temporary than traditional chemical straightening treatments. The magic straight perm works especially well on thick or wavy hair, helping to achieve a sleek, fashionable look with minimal effort. Korean Hair Straightening will last for up to six months before needing another treatment.
Still, asked to choose between someone with a Farrah Fawcett hairdo and someone with a magic straight, other things being equal I d go for the latter. When i was in Korea, i wanted to try the Korean hair straitening treatment, If you have curly hair, then you know how much work it takes to keep those luscious locks in check.

The magic straight perm
After receiving two requests from readers about Korean hairdressers in London who do hair straightening, I thought I’d do a bit of research.
My first problem was this: why on earth would Koreans (and Japanese for that matter) want to develop complex mechanisms for straightening hair when their hair is straight anyway?
The Chosun Ilbo has the answer:
Most Asians in fact do not have naturally straight hair, and today few of them have time to dry their hair naturally without a hairdryer.
Misconception number 2: I thought perms were something your average ajumma had, and were designed to make your hair go curly.
Wrong again. Kim Hye-soo, the owner of Korea’s most beautiful face, is far from being an ajumma.
So what are the problems? Well, it takes four to five hours and can therefore damage the hair
Another reason is that the perm gives a strong impression that it is artificially styled, which goes against the current trend of emphasizing naturalness. Another draw back is that the procedure doesn’t make thin hair voluminous.
If you want to know how Kim Hye-soo overcomes these knotty problems, read on in the Chosun Ilbo.
But how, you might ask, does a “magic straight” work? The Seattle Post-Intelligence has the answer, as well as providing the helpful images displayed here.
The process is a complicated one: Hair is treated first with a specialized foamer to protect the hair, then the straightening solution, which breaks the shaft’s cystine bonds and has the same potent smell as regular perm solution. Hair is then coated in plastic and left under a heater for up to 40 minutes, depending on its texture and wave. After a washout and blow dry, specialized flat irons (which can adjust heat between 150 to 220 degrees) are used on one-inch sections of hair. The ironing process can take up to an hour and a half, sometimes employing two stylists at once. The irons permanently lock in the straightness.
Like regular perms, neutralizer is then applied and left in, which stabilizes the pH balance. Hair is then rinsed, treated and blown dry.
As with perms, clients must not shampoo their hair for two days. During this period, they also must leave their hair perfectly still — no barrettes, pins or bands. Some even warn against tucking your hair behind your ear for fear of bending the hair permanently before the shaft has completely stabilized.
All of which sounds terribly complicated, not to say dangerous, and one can only wonder at the dedication of the voluntary victims of such a process. And also, these treatments don’t come cheap. The minimum price in London seems to be £150.
Still, asked to choose between someone with a Farrah Fawcett hairdo and someone with a magic straight, other things being equal I’d go for the latter.

Reviews for "Melting Ice and its Impact on the Global Food Chain"
1. John Doe - 2 out of 5 stars
I found "Im mrlting eitch" to be a confusing and poorly executed film. The plot was convoluted and hard to follow, with multiple storylines that were never properly developed. The acting was also subpar, with unconvincing performances from the entire cast. Despite its interesting premise, the film fails to deliver any real depth or emotional impact. Overall, I was disappointed and would not recommend "Im mrlting eitch" to others.
2. Jane Smith - 1 out of 5 stars
"Im mrlting eitch" was an absolute disaster of a film. The dialogue was cringe-worthy and the characters were underdeveloped and unrelatable. The pacing was incredibly slow, making the already uninteresting story drag on even more. I found myself bored and disengaged throughout, eagerly waiting for it to end. The film failed to capture my attention or provide any entertainment value. Save your time and skip "Im mrlting eitch".
3. Michael Thompson - 2 out of 5 stars
I had high hopes for "Im mrlting eitch" based on the promising trailer, but sadly, the film fell flat. The narrative was disjointed and the editing was choppy, making it difficult to fully grasp the intended message. The performances were also lackluster, with the actors delivering their lines in a wooden and uninspiring manner. While the visuals were occasionally stunning, they weren't enough to salvage the overall disappointing experience. I would advise against watching "Im mrlting eitch" unless you enjoy confusing and poorly executed films.
