Has anybody had Japanese Hair Straightening (Thermal Reconditioning?)?

I had this done, and so far I'm very satisfied with it! It cost less than $600 and took a little over two hours. I haven't noticed damage to my hair - in fact it made my hair seem smoother, less frizzy, and shinier. My hair is thick, medium length, very curly and very frizzy when I didn't put gel in it. It used to take 45 minutes or so to straighten, now about 3 minutes just to touch it up in the morning. I definitely recommend it if your hair is extremely curly, frizzy or thick because there's a huge difference. I love just being able to shower or go swimming and not have to deal with my hair.

I had this done at a very good Professional hair salon.

I was NOT satisfied at all. I will never do it again.

1) It cost around $300 and took about 2-3 hours.

2) It looked beautiful when she did it but after a few days at home I found out that it completely fried my hair.

3) I have a lot of "fine" hair, natural wave/body, light brown, and medium length. It was in good shape before I did this. I was so disappointed. I've had to deep condition it almost every other day for months just to get it back to somewhat of an acceptable level.

I hope this helps in your decision. I do think if you have a heavy/thick hair type that you would get better results than someone like me that has a lot of "fine" hair.

Good Luck and have a nice day.
