Japanese hair straightening is very different from the somewhat similar chemical hair straightening otherwise known as relaxing hair straightening.

Chemical hair straightening is for the very curly hair and Japanese hair straightening works on somewhat curly hair and not extremely curly hair. The curlier it is, the less effect it will have on the result.

The western hair tends to be on the curly side naturally and japanese hair straightening works well with these types of hair.

This process takes typically 4-5 hours in a hair salon and may cost up to $500 dollars for one treatment. You’ll be very happy with the results as you’ll find soft and straight hair instead of being dried up by some chemicals.

What you need to do is to take care of it and come back to the hair dresser for a touch up in a couple of months.
