I purchased this product today to straighten my wavy hair. It is supposed to last 3 months and be gentle. However, the directions seem rather complicated with many steps and and a number of do's and don'ts. This makes me nervous. Has anyone tried this product??

I have. I had japanese straightening done also (3 years ago). I tried this because it was simple. Well, it was simple but boy, did it destroy my healthy, uncolored hair. It now feels like hay. I called them and they said in one week or two it should feel soft and straight. Now, it feels like hay and is slightly wavy, frizzy still. I would never use again. Good luck. I should have left it alone or went and paid the big bucks for it to be done professionally.

I forgot to add that my hair hasn't stopped falling out since I've used it.

Hi,
My hair is wavy, colored {twice a month with Hydrience light ash brown}, and as the freezy days of Summer approaches I decided to get my hair chemically straighten for the first time. I always use an extra large round brush and a flat brush to dry my hair straight and it takes me 15 minutes, which is a pain in the neck.
Yesterday I went to Eckerd, it used to be Genovese here in Long Island, NY.
I bought Easy Straight for $30.00 and went home to try my new experiment. I followed the directions using all products that came with the kit:
First I applied the moisturizing oil to protect my hair,
Then I divided my hair into 4 parts using the hair clips included,
Then I added oil to the relaxer cream and place the cream jar in the microwave for 1 minute,
Then I mixed and applied to hair as quickly as I could using my hands protected by the gloves provided by kit,
I made sure all hair was saturated with cream,
As soon as I finished applying the cream, I jumped in the shower to get all that cream out of my hair because I did not want ANY hair damage.
I did not wait not even 1 second, I applied the cream to my hair and removed it with warm water.
Then, I rinsed my hair for 5 minutes to make sure all that stinky amonia cream was off every strand of my hair,
Then I shampoo and conditioned as usual.
Then I applied a liquid that was included, it closes the pores of hair,
Then without rinsing the liquid I carefully combed hair as instructed,
I noticed I could comb my hair easely and hair felt moisturized,
Then just as instructed, after 10 minutes of combing I rinsed hair and applied their heavy duty moisturizer leave in conditioner, but just to be in the safe side I also added my own leave in moisturizer to the ends of hair so it would be extra protected, soft and shiny.
Then I combed hair, towel dry, and applied my usual silicone Frizz-out from middle to ends of my hair. I did that because I always used it to prevent frizz and I think it will help my hair if it got dry from the chemicals in the relaxer cream.
Then I let my hair air dry. I did not use a blow dryer as usual.
As I was waiting for my hair to become a frizz ball I noticed it retained its straightness. I could not believe, after dry my hair was straight, but a normal straight, nor sticking out or unnatural but all waves were gone.
It looked like I had my hair blowed dryed with a flat brush.
My hair was healthy, shiny and STRAIGHT!
I am happy, it worked for me. :bouncing:

svenskaprincess what store did you get that kit at? How much did it cost I just use flat iron on my hair but damage it I"M looking for a differnet methond to get straight hair.

Dont use olgivie's straightening thing (some thing with the hairdye section in a store that lasts several months or something). I tried it once and no difference at all!! A complete waste of time and smelly hair for 2 days!!
