Japanese Hair Straightening After-Care

After-Care

To keep the longevity of the results of your hair after having this treatment done, you should follow these after-care tips.

1. Wait a minimum of 3 days before washing your hair. This allows the hair to set and also allows natural oils from your body to nourish the hair at the same time.

2.Use cooler water to wash and rinse your hair to finish up. The first mistake a lot of people make is rinsing your hair with hot or warm water. Hot showers are great, but not for your hair. The next time you shower, wear a shower cap or pull your hair up into a pony tail where the water can't reach it until it's time to wash your hair. Then, let down your hair and use cool water when washing and rinsing your hair. This closes up the hair cuticles which locks in moisture.

3.Wash your hair the recommended amount after the 3 day wait. Clean hair is healthy hair, but washing it everyday can remove the natural oils in your hair which would normally nourish it. But don't let it get grimy either. The recommended amount to wash your hair is every other day.

4.Know your shampoo ingredients. Its important to know what you are putting in your hair. Does it have a harsh lathering agent like ammonium lauryl sulfate, or a gentle one like sodium laureth sulfate? If so, change your shampoo to a gentler one.

5.When you dry your hair, don't rub it hard with the towel. Wet/damp hair is the weakest state. So, if you rub/dry it with a towel, there are major chances some will fall out. You can blot it. You could also dry it with a blow dryer, but not too often, or it will get extremely dry. It is best to let your hair dry naturally.

6.Spray-on and leave-in conditioners help: leave-in conditioners penetrate deep into your hair cuticles and heal them more completely. So using them at least once a week will make all the difference. A spray-on conditioner is another great idea. It conditions your hair and makes it look manageable and beautiful.

7.Brush your hair properly. Don't brush your hair too often or too much. Avoid brushing your hair while wet. Wet hair is stretchier and has a tendency to "snap". However, it is fine to untangle wet hair that is saturated with conditioner with a wide-toothed comb.

8. To keep the shine, volume, and bounce in your hair, use hair nourishing products. Home remedies work as well, there are tons of recipes online, just Google it. But always make sure its safe before trying any.

If you follow these tips you can keep your hair healthy and beautiful.

Japanese Digital Perm / "Hot Perm"

2010-02-25T02:40:00.001-05:00

Whats is a "Japanese digital perm you ask? Well a Japanese digital perm is a perm which uses hot rods with the temperature regulated by a machine, which has a digital display, hence the name. Although it is called "digital", the process of the perm is done by hand.

Well isn't this the same regular perm? The answer to that is no, the biggest difference between other perms and a Japanese digital perm is texture and shape of the wave created in the hair by the digital process.

In a normal perm, or a “cold perm”, the wave is most noticeable when the hair is wet, and loose when it is dry. How the hair looks is moist and in the form of locks.

A Japanese digital perm makes the hair wavy when it is dry, so you just need to dry it with a blow dryer, and use your hand to make the curl. So styling is very easy, all you have to do is set the curl in the morning, at the end of the day when the wave loosens, you can revive the curl just by curling it with your finger.

Here a bit on how the process looks like:

The end result is this

Japanese Hair Straightening / Thermal reconditioning / Yuko System

2010-02-24T02:39:00.000-05:00

This a a great treatment for those with unruly, curly, unmanageable hair. What Japanese hair straightening, also known as thermal reconditioning, is a treatment created by Japanese hair expert Yuko Yamashita, where hair is permanently straightened, making it frizz free, silky soft and with unbelievable amount of shine. The condition of the hair after the treatment will be essentially be in a better condition than before it was done.

As mentioned the results are permanent on hair that has been treated, but you may want to have a new treatment on the regrowth every 6-10 months or longer depending on the rate of hair growth. Usually customers will get a new treatment every 12 months.

As for the whole straightening process, it can take between 3-6 hours depending on hair length and type. The procedure starts by having hair type and its condition assessed.

When assessment is done hair is then shampooed and towel dried. The hair is then divided into sections, conditioning formula applied and a protector put in place. Then a wait of 15-20 minutes to set, depending on the hair's texture.

After the chemicals has set, a professional flat iron is used to straighten the hair in several stages. Hair is then divided into sections again and a neutralizer is applied. What this does is reset the bonds and stabilizes the hair. This time around the wait is around 10-20 minutes, again depending on hair texture. As you can see this is a time consuming procedure thus why it would take several hours to complete.

Also note that to receive the best results, it is crucial to use the right products, for each particular hair type. That why our hairstylist, with extensive knowledge and eighteen years of experience in the treatment, can diagnose the hair accurately, decide which products to use, and adjust their flat-iron technique for each individual. So if you're interested just walk in for a consultation or give us a call at 416-751-2225, Charming 100 Hair Salon.
