Japanese straightening: anyone can have silky smooth hair

Japanese straightening is a treatment to turn your frizzy and rebellious hair into a permanently straight, soft and shiny mane.

It sounds too good to be true? After being burned by hair straightening treatments that left a lot to be desired, and the recent scare with the toxic ingredients involved in Brazilian hair straightening, you’re understandably skeptical. However, Japanese hair straightening lives up to the hype!

Shiseido Crystallizing Straight Treatment is a brand name for the most popular, and arguably the best, hair straightening system developed in Japan. If you decide to go for this procedure, ask your stylist about it for the best results.

Japanese hair straightening involves chemically relaxing the strands with a calcium-based hydroxide or bleach solution. Your hair will first be separated into sections, then each section will be washed with the clarifying shampoo to remove residue and prepare the hair for taking the solution. The solution is applied to the scalp and all strands, then rinsed thoroughly, and at the end, the hair is blow-dried and ironed. That should leave your hair looking completely smooth and smooth, but the procedure can be repeated if necessary.

The entire treatment can take several hours, depending on the length and thickness of the hair, but the results are well worth the wait.

You cannot wash or get your hair wet for the next 24 to 72 hours.

Like all straightening procedures, this hair treatment can also cause some damage. Therefore, it is not recommended to use it on already damaged and chemically treated hair.

However, after your hair has been permanently straightened with Japanese straightening, you can ditch the flat iron for quite some time. This technique actually changes the structure of your hair, so it stays straight permanently. That is, until you grow your hair or cut it.

Japanese straightening isn’t cheap, but you’ll save on straightening products for at least the next six months. You will remain frizz-free on humid or rainy days, and your hair will become healthier, softer, fresher and cleaner, because this technique seals moisture in your hair.

How can you know if this procedure is right for you? Find a reputable salon that does Japanese hair straightening, where you’ll receive a pre-treatment to see if it’s right for your hair type.

Your life will become a little easier and simpler when you no longer have to worry about your hair.
