Japanese Hair Straightening, also know as Thermal Reconditioning, is the process of the hair being continuously and alternately shampooed, heated, blown out and then flat ironed. The process is repeated continuously until your hair is completely re-textured, giving it a smooth, shiny and sleek look.

The style originated in the late 1990's. The treatment can take anywhere from three to six hours and involves many steps. It's worth having this handled by a professional as there are so many steps involved. You're only asking for trouble if you look for bargains or a inexperienced salon.

The end result should be permanent straightened hair for four to twelve months. After the process is complete, please be sure to follow the hair stylists instructions. One general rule is that you shouldn't let moisture or any perspiration on your head for at least three days. This means no running or exercise as well. A hair strand test should be done first to determine whether your hair can accept the chemicals. The last thing you need is to destroy your hair.

Now that you have a better understanding of the process, you should have no problem getting this fun exciting process done. Any further questions please call and ask for Mariann. 403-980-2820
