Wavy hair is the most common hair type I work with among international clients in Tokyo. It responds beautifully to acid straightening — here’s exactly what to expect.
Why Wavy Hair in Tokyo Is a Specific Problem
Wavy hair occupies the worst position for Tokyo’s humidity. Straight hair stays manageable. Curly hair has its own structure. Wavy hair absorbs moisture unevenly — the wave pattern amplifies, the roots puff, and the result is unpredictable frizz that products can’t control consistently. In Tokyo’s 80–90% summer humidity, this happens fast. Why Tokyo humidity is different →
How Straightening Works on Wavy Hair
Wavy hair is the ideal candidate for acid straightening. The wave pattern is lighter than a curl — it responds fully to the treatment and requires lower formula strength and lower iron temperature than curly hair. The result on wavy hair is typically the most natural-looking of any hair type: smooth without looking processed, with the natural movement preserved at the roots.
