Extenso cera thermic treatment

4/5
Sacrifice: Eating for a month.

The claim: A permanent straightening system, it should remove any curl and 90-100 per cent of frizz.

The skinny: This treatment really does de-frizz. It also de-curls – so wavy-hair lovers should avoid it. As hair straightener fans, we were pleased it left our hair to dry naturally straight and frizz-free. The treatment isn’t great for your hair (bleached blondes or those with damaged hair can’t have the treatment as it could cause breakage), but with little subsequent need for hot appliances, we like to think our hair will thank us for it in the long run. This treatment really does work, and by cutting down our styling time (by up to 70 per cent, apparently), it gives us an extra 30 minutes in bed in the morning.
