Taming the Mane

Now that I have my dress and my veils, I need to decide what I'm going to do with my hair. I have really thick, shoulder-length, curly hair.

The great thing about my hair is that it's really versatile. In the last week (yep, 7 days), my hair has gone from this:

Wild and Fun

....to this:

Natural but a lil' more tame

... to this:
A pretty roller set


... to this:
Sleek bun

 to this!

Straight with a few curls at the end

While it might seem that I have a lot of options for the wedding, the problem is that my hair can easily turn into this:

NOOOOO!

It might seem that the easiest option is to wear my hair up and/or back the day of the wedding, but that doesn't tame the frizzies either. I could easily end up with a crown of flyaways. *sigh*

I've considered getting a Keratin smoothing treatment before the wedding. The Keratin treatment relaxes the curl, conditions the hair (no crazy chemicals), and will leave my hair frizz-free, silky,  shiny, and almost straight. The Keratin treatment is supposed to work for all races, ethnicities, and hair types. The best part? In 4-6 months, I'll have my curls back!

My only worry is that the Keratin treatment is new and seems too good to be true. I've researched it online and talked to people who've had it done.

A friend-of-a-friend told me, "It literally changed my life. I can go to the gym, I can go swimming, and I don't have to worry about my hair. It's not like a regular relaxer at all.... I can tell you some crazy stories about those! But I really have nothing negative to say about the Keratin treatment."

Then I looked online and saw horror stories about people who lost hair using the treatment -- as in hair falling out. I'm not sure if these people had it done professionally or not, but it's still scary.

With six weeks before the wedding, I'm not sure if I want to make any drastic changes. At the same time, I don't want to turn into a frizzball before the reception. Decisions, decisions.....
