What is Japanese Hair Straightening?

Updated: Oct 26




Straightening process

Japanese hair straightening is a chemical treatment that alters the hair's internal structure to make it permanently straight. Unlike temporary solutions, such as flat-ironing, this method offers lasting results, often up to six months or longer, depending on hair type and maintenance. 

The Process

  1. Consultation: Start off with a hair consultation to assess your hair type and discuss your desired results. This step is crucial for determining if the treatment is right for you. 

  2. Preparation: Your hair will be washed to remove any products or oils. This ensures that the treatment penetrates the hair effectively. 

  3. Chemical Application: A specially formulated solution is applied to your hair. This solution breaks down the hair’s natural bonds, allowing for restructuring. 

  4. Heat Treatment: After the solution has processed, the hair is carefully flat-ironed at a high temperature to lock in the straight shape. This step is vital for achieving that sleek finish. 

  5. Neutralizing: A neutralizing solution is then applied to restore the hair’s pH balance and set the new straight shape. 

  6. Final Wash and Style: Finally, your hair is washed again, and you’ll typically receive a blowout to showcase your new look. 

Post-Treatment Care 

To maintain your new straight hair, it's essential to follow specific aftercare guidelines:

  • Avoid washing your hair for at least 48 hours after the treatment.

  • Use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners to prevent stripping the treatment.

  • Minimize the use of heat styling tools to maintain the health of your hair. 

Benefits of Japanese Hair Straightening 

  • Long-lasting Results: Enjoy sleek hair that lasts for months without the daily hassle of styling.

  • Reduced Frizz: Say goodbye to frizz and hello to smooth, manageable hair.

  • Versatile Styling: Once straightened, your hair can easily be styled in various ways, from updos to loose waves.
