This problem is as old as the world: girls with straight hair try to wind them, and those whom nature has awarded with curls diligently straighten them. Previously, only curling irons were used to carry out such manipulations, but today various beauty salons offer us to achieve this or that effect for a sufficiently long period. Well, Japanese hair straightening is on the agenda. Reviews about this technique, the features of its implementation, the essence and other information - all this will be presented in the article.
Requested procedure
The problem of hair straightening nowadays concerns not only young ladies with curly hair, but also those girls whose hair is simply naughty. After all, you should trust the master, pay the bill, spend a few hours in the salon - and voila! Hair is smooth, smooth, shiny, healthy, and all this is far from one day. In addition, some techniques for leveling hair at the same time restore it, make it healthier, nourished, smooth.
Japanese hair straightening also falls into this category. The reviews once again prove to us that this is one of the most effective and long-term methods, but at the same time it is very expensive and also long-lasting. But, again, consumers say that all the costs and all the “suffering” are worth it - as a result, the curls will become incredibly smooth, smooth, beautiful, and all this will please you for more than six months. Let's take a closer look at this mysterious procedure.
What it is?
So, Japanese permanent hair straightening is a procedure that affects the structure of a curl at the cellular level. Special active substances penetrate deep into the structure of the hair and change its properties and qualities from the inside. As a result, even the most naughty, wavy and simply incredibly lush and curly hair becomes smooth, smooth, elongated and shiny. The procedure is inherently suitable for everyone, there are no contraindications as such. As is clear from the experience of masters and reviews, Japanese hair straightening allows you to not only straighten your hair curly, but also to heal them, for example, if they were previously damaged by chemistry, paint, supra, or, by nature, dry, brittle and split. There are simply categories of women who need this procedure, and there are also people who would prefer to choose a different way of hair care.
When Japanese technology is needed
You can opt for this procedure if:
- Hair is very curly, naughty, and prone to dryness and cross section.
- Curls are hard, rough, do not lend themselves to styling, do not obey.
- Hair is depleted by lightening or severely damaged by dye.
- After vacation in the sun, the hair was very dry, became dull, brittle, dry.
- Curls are naturally dry and brittle.
- You constantly split ends.
In what cases is it better to choose a different procedure
Japanese technology should be discarded if:
- Your hair is too thin, rare.
- The hair is soft and light.
- You are constantly painting (change color often or tint the roots monthly).
- You like to make different hairstyles using all kinds of accessories.
To begin with, we say that in all these cases, the Japanese hair straightening procedure will be too aggressive. It is better to choose other methods or strengthen daily care for curls.
Why are there limitations?
The fact is that the main active ingredient of all the compounds that are used during Japanese straightening is cystiamine. On hair, it works like flour in a dough - the more it is, the denser the structure. Once in the hair cells, it compresses them, filling them with useful substances, makes them more dense, and also brings them together. As a result, the hair becomes thinner and at the same time heavier and as if holistic. The volume is lost, but in return we get perfectly even, dense, smooth and slightly elongated curls. If your hair is naturally rare and each individual hair is thinner than the fishing line, then this procedure will not be the best solution for you. It is best to use keratin instead of Japanese hair straightening. It will save volume and at the same time cure damaged strands.
The choice of composition
In order for the procedure to bring significant results, it is extremely important to choose a high-quality composition. Nowadays, against the background of numerous fakes and "analogues", there are still real and effective means:
- Napla - Japanese hair straightening most often bears this name. The product is made in the Land of the Rising Sun, has excellent quality, is used in leading beauty salons around the world. It also has a high cost - keep this in mind. But with all the "pitfalls" you can enjoy the result for about a year.
- Mon Platin - a product made in Israel, which is famous for its excellent quality. It is less common in beauty salons, but this does not make it worse than the rest. It copes well even with the most naughty and tough curls, changes their texture and makes them smooth and shiny.
- Lebel. This brand is famous for its preparations “Happiness for hair”, and the composition for Japanese straightening is one of them. A more budget option than the two previous ones, but it is very high quality and gives a long-term result.
We go to the master
Of course, the most sensible thing to do is Japanese hair straightening in a beauty salon. Only the master will be able to choose for you the most suitable composition for your type of hair and set the time for which he will most effectively affect the curls. Of course, you will have to pay extra for the work, but you can be sure that you will be satisfied with the result. How will this procedure be carried out in the cabin?
- Shampooing with salt-free shampoo.
- Application to wet curls of a special composition - "straightening cream". The exposure time is determined depending on the type of hair and initial problems.
- The cream is washed off, and the curls are dried with a hairdryer.
- Now the most important step is straightening. For this, a professional iron is used, moreover, the master carefully pulls the strand by strand, as a result, the hair flakes are closed and the treatment composition is “sealed” in them.
- Now a neutralizer is applied to the curls, and then the head is washed again.
- The last stage is the application of a special mask that fixes the effect.
Impressions and reviews
How is Japanese hair straightening done and how long does it last? For several hours, so you should be patient in advance. It is quite difficult to sit the whole procedure - depending on the length and volume of the hair, it can last from 3 hours to 6 or even 7. But for the sake of beauty, women do even the impossible, so just think in advance what you will do in the salon and ... what you will eat. According to reviews, Japanese hair straightening is a procedure that will steal your day of life, so take sandwiches or burgers with you to the salon, maybe light salads or other foods that you are used to. Do not forget the charger from the gadget, because during straightening you will have time to watch more than one series of your favorite series.
Resilience
Here, as they say, everything is individual. Much depends on the degree of damage to the hair or on how dry and harsh they are by nature. On average, the composition rests on the hair and gives it a well-groomed appearance for 6-9 months. If the curls are very problematic, then the effect will dry up after 5 months. When you do a procedure for prevention or just to become more beautiful, you can enjoy the result for more than a year. Reviews say that if your hair is curly, then regrown roots every few months will also have to be processed so that there is no difference between straight and curly hair.
Further care
There are a certain number of rules that you should definitely adhere to if you have done the Japanese hair straightening procedure. What are they like?
- Four days after the procedure, do not wash your hair.
- In the next month after applying the composition, you can not wear hairpins, elastic bands and other accessories for the head.
- Headwear, both summer and winter, is also excluded.
- It is forbidden to categorically dye your hair and especially lighten it. You can’t even highlight or make a shuttle.
- Try to use natural shampoos and masks, which do not contain sulfates and silicones.
In conclusion, we say that the means for further care can be recommended to you by the master, based on the brand and features of the composition that he applied to your hair.
Issue price
We have repeatedly mentioned how expensive the Japanese hair straightening procedure is. In Moscow, as in any other city, there are various price indicators that vary depending on the salon and composition. On average, we recommend preparing the following amounts:
- Short hair: from 4000 to 6000 rubles.
- Medium hair: from 7000 to 11000 rubles.
- Long hair: from 12,000 to 16,000 rubles.
This technology for hair care requires, as we see, considerable investments, but the result and its duration justify all this.
Pros and cons
We have already learned which women are literally heavenly prescribed this procedure for hair care, and which is better to choose a different tool. Well, now we will generalize and consider the pros and cons. The first include:
- You can not do the procedure for those whose curls are clarified or highlighted.
- You will not be able to wash your head 4 days after the procedure, so it is best to do it during the holidays.
- For a long time it will not be possible to tie your hair, you will have to walk only with loose hair.
- The high price that not every average woman can handle.
But what are the advantages we get from this technology:
- Rain, snow, moisture, fog - all this now you do not care. Hair will not fluff from these weather factors.
- The technique is universal, straightens any type of hair, even African curls.
- Simple further care.
- If you do the procedure regularly, then you will get healthy and straight hair on an ongoing basis.
According to customer reviews, Japanese hair straightening is a salvation for many. Keratin and Botox do not give the desired cumulative result. After they are washed off, the hair becomes even tougher and drier. But these formulations are designed not only for cosmetic effect, but also for therapeutic.
