ask permboy a question
Q:I am a person with straight/slightly wavy hair. I like to have my hair straightened because most of the times, when I don\'t even touch my hair, but brush, it tends to curl outwards and sticks out. What would be the best method to keep it totally straight? I heard Magic Straight works best, but it is about $150-$200. What is the cheapest and best way to achieve full, straight-out locks????
A:We make a product called Vavoom Straight Talk that works great. You can find a Matrix salon that does the service near you on our website. Thanks for the question.
