JERUSALEM Matt Wieters Jersey , March 17 (Xinhua) -- Israelis were casting their ballots Tuesday in a parliamentary election which is expected to be a close race for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party and its main rival, the center-left Zionist Union.

After casting his vote with his wife Sarah at a polling station in Jerusalem, Netanyahu reiterated his stance not to sit in a national unity government headed by the Zionist Union.


"The gaps between us are very deep," he said. "The only government I will establish would be with our natural partners," meaning the right-wing parties.


None of the parties are expected to win by a drastic margin and therefore it is possible that the topic of a unity government between the Likud and the Zionist Union could come up in negotiations on forming a ruling coalition following the elections.


Leader of the Zionist Union Isaac Herzog voted in a polling station near his house in Tel Aviv, reminding voters that they could make a change.


"We need to remember that Israel is a democratic country where the people decide," he said before casting his ballot, adding that the elections are "between change and hope, and despair and disappointment."


Voting started at 7 a.m. local time (0500 GMT) Tuesday and is due to end at 10 p.m.. There are 5.8 million Israelis eligible to vote in 10,119 polling stations spread nationwide.


More than 20 parties are vying for the 120 seats in the one-chamber Knesset (parliament), of which opinion polls predict some 11 will make it into the Knesset.


The opposition center-left Zionist Union is projected to be the largest party with around 25 seats, followed by the Likud with around 21 seats.


Despite the lead, it is believed that the Likud and its like-minded allies have a better chance to win a majority of seats in the parliament to win the right to form the cabinet.


According to Israeli election law, Israeli President Reuven Rivlin will nominate the leader of the party which has the best chance of establishing a stable coalition with the support of at least 61 of the 120 members of parliament.


At a polling station in the central coastal city of Tel Aviv, Roy Aharon, 42, told Xinhua that he voted for the opposition center-left Zionist Union party led by Issac Herzog.


"Last time I voted for Yair Lapid (leader of Yash Atid party), but I think it was a mistake. He made many promises he didn't keep and things were actually worse," Aharon said.


"I feel that if we don't replace him, we don't have any hope left. The Zionist Union has some excellent politicians, and I hope they will be strong enough to beat Netanyahu and the Likud."


Three major Israeli television stations will broadcast the results of their exit polls at 10 p.m. Tuesday and official results are expected to be announced early Wednesday morning after most of the votes are counted.

Isn't it ironic that we're hardly ever happy with what we've been born with? People with straight hair want curly hair, and people with curly hair want straight hair. Sure, there are exceptions, but you can probably name a dozen people you know that have talked about how much they'd love to have a type of hair they don't have.

If you're in the group that has curly hair but wishes it were straight, then you'd probably love to know what your options are. Today you're going to read about a few different techniques you can use to straighten your hair. You'll learn some benefits of each, and you'll also learn some things to watch out for. Let's get started.

Using a hot iron

The least expensive way to straighten your hair is using a hot iron. It functions much the same as a curling iron but with the opposite effect. By using some conditioners and placing your hair between two ceramic or metal plates to apply the heat, you'll be able to straighten your hair from the comfort of your own home.

The two biggest faults this method has are sort of significant. First, it doesn't last very long. Most women are lucky to make it to the next time they wash their hair. Second, because you're applying heat to your hair, if you're not someone who's learned how to do it properly, you could burn your hair. No, you won't burn your hair off, but it's likely your hair could get damaged and need to be revitalized later.

Applying chemicals

Another way to straighten your hair is through the combined use of chemicals and heat. This is a much longer-lasting method than using a hot iron, but it's still not terribly permanent. Sometimes it'll last about a month before you need to have it treated again.

The treatments, such as sodium hydroxide and ammonium thioglycolate, are strong chemicals that actually destroy your hair on purpose so that it can be straightened. They break down the proteins in your hair to get rid of the elasticity that makes your hair curly. Some chemicals are less harsh than others, but they usually need a softening treatment first.

Getting a Brazilian treatment

Another newer, popular way to straighten your hair is known as a Brazilian treatment. It doesn't use chemicals to straighten your hair. Instead it uses a protein called keratin. Because keratin is actually found in hair (and fingernails), it's not a harsh compound that will destroy your hair. It's applied to the hair through a conditioner, and then the hair is ironed out.

Not only can a keratin treatment straighten your hair, it can also restore and revitalize it. Unlike the other treatments, it can last up to four months. The main downside is it's price tag. It can cost several hundred dollars de.
