        this ‘soft straight’ thing, how long does it take to complete.


        I do my hair only once a year. Dread the time taken to sit and wash and sit and wash. So 1 time cut, rebond, colour, perm, treat. Takes at least 5hrs.

        In my school day I use to hate having so much hair. Medium texture but a lot. Unable to use most of those big hair clips. To make it worse, I have hair that cannot decide whether it wants to curl or be straight.

        Now after 2 kids and in my late 30s, I thank god I started out with so much hair else I will be bald by now.

          usually takes about 2 - 2.5 hours - including hair straightening, cut, wash and blow, but no colouring. i think the actual treatment depends on the hair type, maybe about 45mins? If thicker the hair or curlier the hair, then takes a longer time to treat.

            Actually, have been advised by hairstylist NOT to colour and do treatment like, perm/rebond/soft straight hair at the same time. She says that it is damaging to the hair as it will dry the hair out with too much chemicals. I believe there is some truth to it, as our hair and scalp may not be able to take it.


            She always advises me to do the treatment first (in my case soft straight) and then return again for hair colouring 7 - 10days later. Says to give time for the hair to \"rest\" in between chemical treatments.

            I \"kuai kuai\" follow advise, even tho it's troublesome to come back another time. :lol:

            In total, it's also about 5 hours of time at hair shop (as about 2.5 hrs each time). :lol:

                I heard from my SIL that there is soft rebonding but dunno whether how long will it last.

                It's called \"soft straight\". Doesn't last as long. Also it depends on your hair texture. Can be between 2 - 4 months. But I find that it looks more natural looking - or at least for my hair type.

                Agree with Schweppes. My sis recommended it rather than the 'normal' rebonding.

                      Hi,

                      anyone discuss the cost yet? I do it only once a year to keep my hair neat and cost me $180 for sitting 4 hrs in the salon few days back (no colouring just rebonding with hair care conditioner after that). May be it is CNY period, but the salon said only added $5 lah. Is this price normal? I tried at a salon at shopping mall before and it cost about the same leh. But I felt that this HDB shop gave a better quality work as my hair is softer and not so dry. I know some shops offer cheaper price but not sure if it is due to the type of chemical used. Also, I know some like to quote low price to attract you to go in, sit down already then start to \"add on\" like treatment, hair care etc, so may add up to be about the same. Oh btw, mine is long hair just after shoulder.

                      Anyone care to share your cost for your rebonding? hope I am not being \"ge tok\" :stupid:

                      Btw, My husband always like to ask me how much it cost when he saw a change in my hair style, but I am not sure if he can take it (he got high blood) if I reveal the cost, so I said $18 only lah and we just laughed off together. He knew I was lying and anyway he can always find out from his female colleague.

                      PS. actually I was hesitating whether we should discuss the cost here... cos I think a lot of men may fall off their chair if they come to know that the straight hair cost so much...but it can last 8-12 months, quite \"worth it\" right. An Wei Self consolation myself. hee hee.

                        Hi,


                        No idea about market price now as I will going only on tomorrow…

                        I always go to the same Saloon as feel comfortable with staff there, in a HDB shop. It cost about $100. (included those what hair treatment lotion & haircut)… Mine is about shoulder length…

                        Shopping Mall ususally cost more…
