Recently, more and more customers have been getting alkali straightening treatments, so this time I’ll explain the advantages and disadvantages of alkali straightening and acid straightening. ↓↓
Both alkali straightening and acid straightening are methods for straightening hair, but I’ll explain the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Alkali straightening
Advantages
1. Durability: alkali straightening straightens hair by changing the structure, so the effect lasts longer.
2. Feel: alkali straightening smooths the surface of the hair, making it feel better.
3. Styling: Straightened hair is easier to style.
Disadvantages
1. Damage: alkali straightening is very damaging because it uses heat and strong chemicals on the hair. (Consult with a hairdresser if your hair is not healthy)
2. Cost: alkali straightening requires professional skills, so it is expensive. (It takes an average of 2.5 to 3 hours)
3. Maintenance: The effect of alkali straightening gradually wears off, so regular maintenance is required. (Damage progresses, and treatment replenishment is necessary)

Acid straightening
Advantages
1. Reduced damage: Acid straightening causes less damage to hair than alkaline hair straightening.
2. Applicable range: It can be applied even if your hair is damaged or has been permed or colored (bleached hair is also OK).
3. Natural finish: Acid straightening uses ingredients that are gentle on hair, so it gives a natural finish.
Disadvantages
1. Durability: The effect of acid straightening is slightly less durable than alkaline hair straightening. (However, it still straightens your hair)
2. Cost: Acid straightening also requires the skills of a professional, so it is expensive.
3. Maintenance: The effect of acid straightening will gradually wear off, so regular maintenance is required.
Summary
Both hair straightening and acid straightening are methods for straightening hair, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Hair straightening is long-lasting and makes the hair feel nice, but it has the disadvantage of causing a lot of damage and being expensive.
On the other hand, acid straightening causes less damage and gives a natural finish, but it has the disadvantage of being slightly less durable (if not applied properly, the curl may come back a little) and expensive.
The best method for you will depend on your hair condition and purpose.
Acid straightening is suitable if you want to minimize damage or a natural finish, but hair straightening is a good choice if you want a long-lasting effect.
Whichever method you choose, it’s important to consult a professional and take care of your hair in a way that suits it.
