The Korean magic straight perm is a popular hair treatment that originated in South Korea. It is a type of hair straightening technique that aims to permanently straighten and manage curly or frizzy hair. This technique is known for its long-lasting results and ability to transform unruly hair into smooth, sleek, and straight locks. The process of the Korean magic straight perm involves several steps. Firstly, the hair is thoroughly washed and dried before applying a special straightening solution. This solution helps to break down the protein bonds in the hair, allowing it to be reshaped into a straight pattern.
Some problems that I already see with my plan:
I'll only have 2 4th level spell slots, so if my concentration on either Polymorph or Dominate Beast ends, Barovia is doomed unless Strahd gets really unlucky with his saves against our party Wizard's Polymorph spells or we retreat and try again later (this is a valid escape/success clause/condition for most of these "Barovia is doomed" statements, so I'm not gonna repeat it much). If we do try again later, Strahd will be on to (onto?) our tricks.
If Strahd fails 3+ saves against Confusion, the DM could decide not to burn any LSes. Alternatively, the DM could just decide to save them for later instead of wasting them on Confusion. If this happens, Barovia is likely doomed unless we get really lucky with Strahd's Polymorph saves.
If Strahd has the Shapechanger subtype (which he might, due to being able to turn into mist and possibly a bat (and maybe other forms too)), he'll save successfully against Polymorph every time. If this happens, Barovia is doomed.
While the pixies can fly out of the reach of wolves, they only have 1 HP each, so if Strahd can summon bats (that can get around the chumpblocking of some ravens that the Keepers of the Feather might be able to send to help us) or hit them with an AoE of some kind, Barovia is likely doomed.
Strahd's Darklord powers might take longer than (or approximately the duration of) an hour to use, which means that the Sun will never return to Barovia.
The Dark Powers might intervene, in which case Barovia is probably doomed.
The DM might reject the summoning of 8 pixies with CWB and/or might rule that he gets to choose what's summoned by CWB. I'm planning to hold back CWB until the final fight and possibly sell my character's soul to Fey powers (or something else equally severe) to try to avoid this, but this could happen and likely doom Barovia.
Strahd can likely bypass the grapple attempts of most of the party using his mist form or some other ability. The DM has declined to answer whether or not magic items, spells, armor, and/or weapons can restrain or grapple Strahd while he's in mist form (Pecos Bill-style?). If he can get within melee range of me, Barovia is likely doomed.
Strahd can succeed on his save against Dominate Beast while in fire beetle-form. If this happens, Barovia is likely doomed.
Strahd might have Magic Resistance, which will pretty much ruin our chances of getting him to burn enough LSes. This will likely doom Barovia.
I might have not thought of something that could screw us over. If that happens, Barovia may be doomed or likely be doomed.
Strahd might be able to use his Darklord (and/or vampire) powers while staked/incapacitated, which could let him undo our changes to Barovia/recapture the people who fled.
I might (accidentally) hog the spotlight too much in this fight, being the one who's casting a lot of the spells here. If this happens, it'll lessen the experience/enjoyment of the fight for the other people at the table, and that's worse than dooming Barovia. Again, I'll talk to the DM about this.
I know that potentially turning any buff into a day-long affair is a powerful thing; that s why I m doing research into its potential cost before going off half-cocked and all. Are there any magic items or other things other than leveling up that can give my Wizard friend an additional 5th level spell slot other than a spell scroll of PB, which is my backup plan it take weeks to create, though, which is not ideal.
This solution helps to break down the protein bonds in the hair, allowing it to be reshaped into a straight pattern. After the solution is applied, the hair is carefully combed and stretched to ensure that all sections are evenly coated. It is then covered with a plastic wrap or cap to allow the solution to set and work its magic.
Extend spell
Specifics: Extended spells have their duration doubled, lasting twice as long as normal.
Use: An extended spell occupies a spell slot one level higher than normal. Spells with a duration of instantaneous or permanent are not affected.
The hair is left in this state for a specific amount of time, depending on the hair's texture and condition. Once the solution has fully processed, the hair is rinsed and neutralized to stop the straightening process. A heat protectant is then applied to shield the hair from any potential damage caused by the next step – straightening with a hot iron. Using a flat iron set at a high temperature, each section of hair is straightened and smoothed out. This step helps to lock in the straight pattern and create a sleek and polished finish. The entire process can take several hours depending on the length and thickness of the hair. The Korean magic straight perm is known for its long-lasting results. Unlike other hair straightening techniques, this treatment permanently alters the hair's structure, making it a great option for those looking for a more permanent solution to manage their curly or frizzy hair. However, it is essential to maintain and care for the treated hair properly to ensure its longevity and keep it in good condition. Regular touch-ups may also be required to maintain the straightened effect as new hair growth occurs. It is important to consult with a professional hairstylist or salon that specializes in Korean magic straight perms to ensure the best results and minimize the risk of any potential damage to the hair. In conclusion, the Korean magic straight perm is a popular hair treatment that offers a long-lasting solution for managing curly or frizzy hair. It involves a multi-step process that permanently straightens the hair, creating a sleek and polished look. However, it is essential to maintain and care for the treated hair properly to ensure its longevity and keep it in good condition..
Reviews for "The History and Origins of Korean Magic Straight Perm"
1. Lisa - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the Korean magic straight perm, but unfortunately, it did not live up to the hype. The process took much longer than expected, and the stylist did not seem very experienced with this technique. My hair ended up looking overly flat and lacked the volume and bounce that I was promised. Additionally, the chemicals used in the straightening solution left my hair feeling dry and damaged. Overall, I was disappointed with the results and wouldn't recommend this treatment.
2. Mark - 1 star - I regret getting the Korean magic straight perm. Not only did it not straighten my hair effectively, but it also caused severe damage. My strands became brittle and prone to breakage, and I had to cut off a significant amount of length to restore some health to my hair. The process itself was uncomfortable and time-consuming, and the results were far from what I had hoped for. I would advise others to think twice before trying this treatment and consider alternative options.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - The Korean magic straight perm was a letdown for me. While my hair did become straighter, it lost its natural shine and luster. It also felt very dry and frizzy, even with the use of recommended hair products post-treatment. The effect didn't last long, and within a few weeks, my hair started to revert back to its original state. I found this treatment to be quite damaging and didn't achieve the sleek, manageable locks I was promised. I would not go through this process again.
