Hi Guys!
I wish I had seen this website before I bought EasyStraight.... now I too, am another casualty of fried hair. =0(
I used the stuff about 5 days ago.... Watched the online video 2x, read the instructions first.... seemed simple enough - I should've known something was wrong from the get-go during the first 5 minutes of having this stuff on my head when I could've sworn that the once white cream was now looking rather RED! I have medium-dark brown hair (with some natural red undertones) I sometimes have to dye it back to dark brown after it always lightens up to this reddish color... (I'm 24, with no greys yet - but the reddish color is horrible!) Anyway... according to the box and site, this stuff wasn't supposed to do anything to alter your color. But it did lighten mine - I would guess about 2-3 shades! (Now it's back to that nasty reddish-orange) and everything from the ears down (my hair is about mid-back length) is totally frizzed out and fried beyond belief. My hair was wavy before, but healthy and shiny. I got this stuff because I figured it would save me some time in the morning before work blow-drying and would help out alot during the summer and humid weather. Now I would gladly take back that 30 min. of blowdry time straightening just to have my healthy hair back. It's like a broom now.... total straw sticks. I haven't really noticed any abnormal hair loss (YET) - and have been doing some deep conditioning... I used to be a hairdresser, and a friend I used to work with recommended that I use the Paul Mitchell Hair Repair. - I picked it up today w/ her... so I'll let you know how much it helps. If at all. I've been just throwing on whatever conditioner I have - hopefully something will help. I don't even remember my hair being this fried when i used to have it permed - about 10 years ago. But this stuff is something that I would NEVER use again! Yeah, it's straighter... but some parts are so stick straight that it makes my haircut look choppy. I have some long layers just at the bottom, and angles around my face. Now if I try to use a round brush to make the angles 'wisp' toward my face... an hour later I'm left with sticks again. maybe I shouldn't have put this on my ends at all. Who knows. But, I know what everyone on here is going through, trust me. I too emailed that law firm after seeing a post about them earlier. And I also emailed the customer support at EasyStraight about my problems. Maybe at least they'll send my money back - I don't think Walgreens will give a refund if I used the product and opened the box
Oh well... guess I better go condition again!!! (UGH)
Good luck everyone... and keep posting updates!
