japanese thermal hair straightener The newest trend in hair straightening is Japanese thermal reconditioning.  This process was developed in Japan and has been in use in the United States for several years now.  This is a chemical process that is done in a salon.  The chemical treatment is applied to the hair by a stylist and the hair bonds that create curls, frizz, and waves are released by the chemicals. This process is followed by flat ironing each strand which will neutralize the hair.  The bonds in your hair will be restructured leaving it straight.

This process can take up to several hours and should be done by a trained stylist.  If the stylist does not have sufficient experience using this technique they may damage your hair.  Japanese thermal reconditioning can be a little on the expensive side, ranging from $600-$1,500 dollars, but the results are wonderful with very minimal damage compared to excessive flat ironing.

Your hair will look great and be easy to manage.  It will be straight and frizz-free in any weather condition.  The hair that is straightened will remain that way permanently.  As new hair grows in, it will be in its original texture.  So getting a retouch procedure will have to be done about 6-8 months after the initial process.
