I do the Keratin straightening, and I haven't bc I heard the Formaldehyde is bad. Not sure about Jap straight.... You should find out the brand they use, and get the ingredient list, that way you know specifically what to ask your doc..

 I got it done all of the time.  It is by far the greatest thing - barely even need to blowdry my crazy curly hair.

I think the biggest thing is the ingredients in it. I thought I read that coloring your hair during pregnancy is okay these days, but not perming/straightening your hair.

I have done keratin a bunch. Not since becoming pg though....last time was in Aug that I did it...and the next time probably won't be until Aug 2011!

Not that I need it now...this kid (or hormones, whatev :-) ) is keeping my hair super straight and not frizzy. Even when I let it air dry, it's tolerably wavy and not gross looking.
