Are you done battling frizzy, unruly hair day in and day out? Do you yearn for those mornings when you can wake up to perfectly straight, sleek locks without spending precious time with your styling tools? If this sounds like a dream come true, then Japanese permanent hair straightening may be the answer to your hair struggles. In this blog post, we'll take a deep dive into it, covering what it is, how it works, the benefits it brings, and what to expect during the treatment.
What Is Japanese Hair Straightening?
Japanese Hair Straightening, also known as Thermal Reconditioning or Yuko System, is a revolutionary hair treatment that transforms curly, wavy, or frizzy hair into permanently straight and sleek tresses. This process not only eliminates frizz but also changes the internal structure of your hair to make it pin-straight.
How Does It Work?
Japanese Hair Straightening works wonders by breaking down the natural bonds within your hair's structure through the application of a specially formulated solution. Once these bonds are relaxed, your hair is straightened with the help of flat irons. The final touch involves sealing in this newfound straightness with a neutralising solution. The result? Hair that remains stunningly straight, even after you've shampooed and conditioned it.
Is It Suitable for Your Hair?
Good news – it's pretty versatile. Our team conducts a through examination of your hair, and we do prefer for clients to let us know if they have undergone any chemical treatments during our consultations. However, if you've got coloured hair, it might need a bit more TLC to avoid any unnecessary damage - or we may suggestion an entirely different treatment plan for any theavilty treated or bleached hair. So, ensure you hit up an authentic Japanese salon with experts who know their stuff.
Japanese Hair Straightening vs. Keratin Treatment
Here's the deal - Japanese Hair Straightening gives you permanent straight hair by altering the internal structure. It's long-lasting until new hair grows in. On the flip side, Keratin Treatment is a semi-permanent fix that reduces frizz and makes your hair more manageable. It smooths the hair cuticle but doesn't change the internal structure. Keratin lasts about two to four months, so it's flexible if you're not ready for a long-term commitment. The choice? It's all about how permanent you want to go and your hair care routine.
