This time, I will explain the difference between hair straightening and acid straightening↓

Both hair straightening and acid straightening are methods for straightening hair, but there is a big difference between the methods.

In this blog, I will explain the difference between hair straightening and acid straightening.

You may not understand it the first time, but please read it.

Hair straightening

Hair straightening is a method of swelling hair with an alkaline agent and then adding an iron to straighten the hair.

This method makes your hair semi-permanently straight.

Hair straightening can be very damaging and can damage your hair.

Recently, more and more people are coloring and straightening their hair, so even alkaline hair straightening requires knowledge and skill.

Acidic straightening

On the other hand, acidic straightening uses an acidic agent to block the bonds of the hair’s internal curls and straightens it with an iron.

The pH of hair is weakly acidic, between 4.5 and 5.5. This is the state in which hair is most stable.

Acidic straightening is often prepared at the time of use at around pH 4.5 to 6. The burden on the hair is minimal.

Since gentler agents are used than in conventional hair straightening, the hair is left for a longer time to penetrate.

Ironing skills are also required, so we recommend choosing an experienced hairdresser.

Summary

Hair straightening and acidic straightening are methods of straightening hair, but there is a big difference between the methods.

Hair straightening can cause a lot of damage and can damage the hair.

On the other hand, acidic straightening causes less damage and is less likely to cause problems for the scalp and hair, but it tends to last for a shorter period of time.

Before making a choice,

it is important to carefully consider which method to choose, taking into account your hair type and condition, the hairstyle you want, etc.

In addition, when performing hair straightening or acid straightening, the skill and experience of the hairdresser performing the treatment is also important.

To receive appropriate treatment, it is important to choose a trustworthy hair salon and hairdresser.

Recently, there are more and more methods for straightening hair without damaging it.

Choosing the method that suits you is very important to maintain beautiful hair.

Basically, one-on-one treatment (I do everything from counseling to finishing)

▪︎There is no waiting time (except for the time when the medicine is left on)

▪︎All treatments are consistent (no change of staff)
