In Korea, they have something called "Magic Straight Perms" that are supposed to keep your hair dead straight for three months. Magic straight perm is a generic term for thermal reconditioning or ionic hair retexturing (IHR) that originated in South Korea. Martina got one for herself, but she didn't know what she was getting into at all:
If you plan on getting one of these perms yourself, here's what you'll need to know:
-For shoulder length hair, be ready to sit for four hours.
-After they perm and and wash your hair, they use a hot iron to lock it in...1 inch hair section at a time (it took one and a half hours with 2 people working on me)
-You can't wash, pin, or move your hair for 2 days
-It is super expensive:
Her Korean friends told her that she got a super great deal, as normally you're looking at spending $500 - $1300. CRAAAAZY! Anyhow, here's how she looks afterwards. Oh, and the glasses are new as well. Whole new Martina! Hooray! So, click this "after" picture to see her Modeling her New Look. Watch it flowing with the breeze, the way supermodels' hair always flow with the breeze everywhere they walk.

I'd love to see more pics of your 'straight hair',
How did your students react?
Your first video doesn't work :( I want to see the rant!
LOVE the hair and glasses...seriously..super cool! The modeling video is hilarious.
Sorry, that was a mangled thought. We were going to post a rant video, but then pulled it, because it wasn't all too fun. We just forgot to get rid of the text leading to it. Sorry!
Holy crow that's a lot of money!!
I got mine done in Suncheon (southern South Korea) for 50 000 won and my hair is to my belly button!
I didn't get a cut though...
You can wash your hair but not with shampoo. Use conditioner only. That's what I heard, anyway ;)
