Chicago Straight Hair: Japanese Hair Straightening

Japanese women are known for their smooth and straight hair. Although genetics may have a hand in it, that is not always the case.  Just like anything in beauty, it can be achieved through the use of the proper techniques. Japanese Hair Straightening or Thermal Reconditioning is a method that straightens the hair while locking in moisture and shine.

Chicago Style – Japanese Hair Straightening first burst into the scene in the late 1990s in Japan but it quickly made it its way around the world, including the United States. Today, it has firmly established itself as one of the most popular treatments to get a better head of hair.

The Process
Japanese Hair Straightening makes use of chemicals to alter the texture of the hair. Most of the chemicals used, such as Liscio and Yuko, are manufactured in Japan. The entire process can last as long as three to six hours because it involves several steps. The hair is shampooed, heated under lamps, blown out, and ironed. Although it may sound like a lot, these steps are designed to not only straighten but also to give shine to the hair. After the process is completed, the hair must be kept away from moisture over the next 72 hours to retain its effects.

The Result
Japanese Hair Straightening guarantees permanently straight hair. Of course, the fact that hair grows means that it may need to be retouched after four to six months, depending on how fast it grows. What differentiates Japanese Hair Straightening from other straightening techniques is that the hair does not dry out. This means that it can move and reflect light the way naturally straight hair does.

Considerations
Japanese Hair Straightening works best on hair that has not been recently treated with chemicals.  Avoid coloring, bleaching or curling your hair if you are planning on getting your hair straightened. Otherwise, the hair may end up dry and brittle from exposure to too many chemicals. If your hair was treated, tell the hairstylist so that the amount of chemicals used can be adjusted to achieve the best results. In most cases, a hair strand test is done to ensure that the hair will react well with the chemicals.

Aftercare
Maintain the soft, smooth texture of hair after straightening by protecting it from the sun. Although the systems involved in Japanese Hair Straightening were designed to keep the hair healthy, chemicals are still used. To keep the hair healthy, condition the hair frequently after the treatment in accordance to the recommendations of the hairstylist. Also, avoid coloring you hair for at least a month after it was straightened.
