Japanese Straight hair

What is the process, what to expect from your technician and what exactly is this chemical doing to your hair. Fist of all you should know that this process is NOT REVERSIBLE. Secondly your technician needs to do a thorough analyzes of your hair. Then the technician needs to perform a test strand. Why? because the longer the strand the more history there is to consider on that strand. Example: If you blow dry, flatiron, shampoo with hot water, use the wrong shampoo, wraps hair while wet, color yourself, level of peroxide, not enough elasticity, too porous, and on and on I can go. The final procedures to provide you with your straightener service is a combination of everything that applies to you. There is not one head I've process that I can honestly say it was done the same. The application on some people has been where I apply the entire head and the "baby soft" hair line is applied for only five minutes. The timing on each individual is determined my the strand testing performed every three to seven minutes starting after the first 7 minutes of processing. Most of the time the first Quad applied on the hair has to be rinsed before the last. Also this chemical or any straightener CANNOT GO ON SCALP. It will brake the hair at the scalp feeling like it's been buzzed off with a cutting razor. This can also happen if the flat iron is not 100% ceramic. I personally use CHI by farouk. (that's is just me)
OK, on we go. First a liquid to stabilize the strand and protect overly stressed areas is applied. After the application of the straightening potion is done and processed it needs to be rinsed well and blow dry up to 80% of the moisture. flat iron section by PAPER THIN section. at this point NO CLIPS, duckbills, butterfly clips, etc. Help your technician at this point by holding your hair. By the way this is that moment when you feel this was a huge mistake and you are permanently ruined, relax your hair is now receiving the order of "now you will live the rest of you life straight". After it looks fabulously straight it needs to be soaked with neutralizing solution which will now seal the deal. A restructuring treatment is then applied and finally styled. You cannot touch this hair with shampoo for a minimum of two days three is awesome. Also no clips, head bands. glasses on to of the head, or even pulled behind the ear.

Enjoy no more hassles.
Japanese straight hair.
