Straight hair, one of the most popular hairstyles for Japanese women, is considered the ideal for many women. In particular, hair straightening (straight perm) is commonly chosen to reduce hair wavyness and volume and to make it easier to maintain at home.
Among them, straightening (a type of hair straightening) is attracting attention. This time, we will explain in detail the characteristics and benefits of straightening, the procedure, and aftercare.
◻︎Characteristics of straightening
straightening is a type of hair straightening that literally uses chemicals in the acid range.
Compared to conventional alkaline chemicals, it has the following characteristics.
🌟 Gentle on hair: Acidic chemicals do not open the hair cuticle more than necessary and can be applied while retaining the protein inside the hair. Therefore, it causes less damage and is soft and comfortable to touch after treatment.
🌟 Natural finish: straightening can be finished in a straight style that makes use of the original texture and movement of the hair. It provides natural beauty as if you were reborn with straight hair quality.
🌟High durability: Since the burden on the hair is small, the straightening effect is easy to maintain, and if performed correctly, the curl is less likely to return, which is one of the attractions.
◻︎Flow of straightening treatment
straightening treatment is performed as follows.
💫Counseling: First, check the condition of the hair, hair history, and ideal style, and select the most suitable treatment method. The hairdresser checks the condition of the hair with his eyes, touches the hair, and checks the degree of damage and hair quality. At this time, it is okay to remember, so by telling the hairdresser as much history information as possible, the success rate of the treatment will increase.
💫Pre-out: Thoroughly wash away silicone, styling products, and dirt remaining on the hair. Since gentle chemicals are used, this step is very important to increase the penetration effect of the chemicals.
💫Chemical application: Appropriately apply a chemical exclusively for straightening to the entire hair.
This chemical penetrates into the inside of the hair, and the effect of loosening frizz and cross-linking effect is gentler than alkaline straightening, so it takes time for the chemical to penetrate. This takes about 30 to 40 minutes.
💫Intermediate rinse: Rinse thoroughly so that no chemicals remain. By nourishing the inside of the hair with keratin, collagen, and lipids, damage from subsequent heat treatments will be minimized.
💫Heat treatment: Apply a light layer of hair oil before drying. After drying, use a straightening iron to heat treat the hair. This process changes the shape of the hair.
💫Second agent: Use hydrogen peroxide to complete the chemical reaction inside the hair. This fixes the straight shape of the hair.
💫Finish: Finally, rinse the hair and finish with an external care treatment. This aftercare is an important step in maintaining the shine and health of your hair.
◻︎The importance of aftercare
Proper care after straightening treatment greatly affects the beauty and durability of the finished result. Specifically, pay attention to the following points when caring for your hair.
– **Non-silicon amino acid shampoo and treatment**: Using an amino acid shampoo that is compatible with acidic straightening can help maintain the texture of your hair and improve its durability.
– **Protection from heat**: We also recommend using a heat protector spray or treatment oil to minimize damage to your hair caused by the heat of irons and hair dryers.
– **Regular treatment**: Even though your hair is less susceptible to damage, it is still necessary to replenish it with nutrients regularly. Treat your hair regularly to protect it.
◻︎Benefits
✨Reduction of damage: straightening uses low-pH chemicals, so the treatment is damage-free while protecting your hair. Therefore, it causes less damage than alkaline chemicals and results in a softer finish.
✨High durability: straightening is also characterized by its high durability, just like alkaline straightening. The effect lasts even in humid environments.
✨Natural finish: The finish after treatment is soft, elastic, and natural. Another great attraction is that the ends of your hair can be curled inwards naturally.
◻︎Disadvantages
⭐︎Longer treatment time:straightening uses gentle chemicals, so it takes time for them to penetrate the hair. Therefore, you may have to spend more time at the salon.
⭐︎Higher cost
Since high-quality chemicals are used, the treatment fee tends to be higher than alkaline straightening. Some people may feel financially burdened.
⭐︎Depends on the skill of the practitioner
straightening depends heavily on the skill of the practitioner. If the stylist is inexperienced, you may not get the desired results.
◻︎Notes
straightening can be used on all hair types, but for extremely damaged hair or hair that has been bleached repeatedly, it is important to consult with your hairdresser in advance.
And we recommend that you consider the advantages and disadvantages before undergoing the treatment.
◻︎Conclusion
straightening is an effective way to get the straight hair you want.
It is popular with many women because it causes less damage, is more durable, and gives a natural finish.
By choosing the best treatment for your hair type and desired style and taking proper care after the treatment, you can achieve beautiful straight hair.
It’s also important to find the style that’s best for you through consultation with a trusted hairdresser.
Get beautiful straight hair and enjoy your daily life even more.
Everyday hairstyles will lead to a wonderful lifestyle.
