THE "JAPANESE" HAIR STRAIGHTNER
A Japanese straightner ia a thermal conditioner used to straighten an individual's hair. It is a technique that
originated from Japan to make frizzy, curly, or wavy hair pin-straight while
preserving the health of your hair. There are chemicals (the chemical ammonium thioglycolate is used in this treatment) involved in using this method and this type of straightener usually lasts for at least nine months to a year. During the process, harsh chemicals are placed in the client's hair for a limited amount of time. Then, the hair is washed with a neutralizing shampoo and blow dried. Unlike a relaxer, this process of getting a Japanese straightener can take up to 8 hours (for the first time). The hairstylist is often going back and forth every 3 to 4 hours to retouch the hair.
The price range is anywhere from $500-$1500 dollars. If a person receives this treatment, YOU MUST GROW IT OUT OR CONTINUE TREATMENT! ALSO, DO NOT GET YOUR HAIR WET FOR AT LEAST 3 DAYS AFTER THE TREATMENT. This can cause the hair to not be as straight as it should be. Pony tails and tight rubber bands are also strongly not encouraged. Blow drying is not necessary with this particular method. Hair is suppose to remain nice and pin straight. If you want to blow dry your hair that should be fine, however, it should take considerably less amount of time than it would have prior to the straightener.
As wonderful as this miracle Japanese Straightener sounds, it is not an excellent way to go if you are African American or black. The candidate for having this process are generally the following:
SIDE NOTE: Always consult with your hairstylist prior to making the decision to use this on your hair. Be open and honest and discuss your current products and chemicals that you have in your hair. Also if you are pregnant and nursing, talk to a specialist to ensure their will be no harm done to your child.
