Looking for sleek, smooth hair? Our professional hair straightening services can help you achieve that flawless, straight look you’ve always wanted. Here’s everything you need to know about the hair straightening process at our salon.
Purpose: We start by understanding what you want to achieve with your hair color. This includes discussing your preferred shade, maintenance level, and any specific concerns.
Discussion: We’ll talk about your hair’s history, including any previous coloring, treatments, or issues.
Assessment: We’ll evaluate your hair’s current color, condition, and texture to recommend the best options for you.
Preparation
Strand Test: We might perform a strand test to see how your hair reacts to the color.
Protective Measures: We’ll apply a barrier cream around your hairline to prevent staining and provide a protective cape to keep your clothes clean.
Sectioning: Your hair will be divided into sections to ensure even color application.
Application of Straightening Treatment
Keratin Treatment: This involves applying a keratin solution to your hair, which is then sealed with a flat iron. It smooths frizz and adds shine while keeping some natural movement.
Chemical Relaxers: These break down the hair’s structure to achieve a more permanent straight look. Ideal for very curly or coarse hair.
Thermal Reconditioning (Japanese Straightening): A more permanent method that changes the hair’s internal structure, resulting in straight hair until new growth appears.
Processing Time
Keratin Treatment: Typically takes 1-3 hours, depending on hair length and thickness.
Chemical Relaxers: Processing time varies, and the stylist will monitor the hair to avoid over-processing.
Thermal Reconditioning: This can take several hours, as the hair is treated, ironed, and neutralized.
Rinsing and Neutralizing
Rinsing: After the treatment has processed, we’ll rinse your hair thoroughly.
Neutralizing: For certain treatments like relaxers, a neutralizing solution is applied to stabilize the hair’s new structure.
Final Blow-Drying and Flat Ironing
Blow-Drying: Your hair will be blow-dried straight to reveal the initial results of the treatment.
Flat Ironing: We’ll use a flat iron to further seal the treatment and achieve the desired level of straightness.
