As a fellow caucasian curly top who has had her hair straightened several times in the past 10 years, what I can tell you is to stay away from any sort of ethnic product (particularly those that use lye) since these are designed for very tough, afro-hair. Stick with products that use Ammonium thioglycolate (also called thio products), which acts to swell the hair cuticle and change the bonds which cause our curly hair. BEST ADVICE, tho -- just get a good cut and learn to live with those curls! Any sort of chemical process is damaging to hair, period. Also, save yourself some money and go buy a bottle of light mineral oil (available at any drugstore) and put a small amount through your curly hair -- the oil will separate and shine up those curls, and everyone will ask you where you got the "great perm"! Good luck!

Chemically straighten permed hair?
Yes, you can do this with a "relaxer". However it it very hard on your hair and may cause it to be dry and brittle. Don't try this yourself -- relaxers sold in stores are for Black hair and fill fry caucasian hair. Go to a salon -- they use this blue gel stuff that is designed to relax caucasian hair.
