What hair product brands are used in "magic straightening" (I don't think "magic

As far as I know "magic straight" is just the Korean name for Japanese hair straightening. If I could find out what brands are typically used by Korean salons for this process, than I might be able to figure out where to get it done. Usually hair care companies have a public list of salons they sell to. Yuko and Liscio are the major japenese hair straightening brands in the US, but it seems like they're only available in super expensive, high-end salons. I heard that korean salons use different brands of relaxer than most other salons.

Best permanent hair straightening treatment?

I have thick,wavy hair with a bit of frizz. I am polynesian/ German It curls when wet and goes wavy when brushed with a bit of frizz. I want to straighten it permanently or at least weaken the curl down to a subtle wave. I have heard of ionic(?) straightening and I know it is expensive, but I really do want to do it, and am willing to pay for a good job. Has anyone had this done, or know of any other treatments?. Please- no at-home remedies %26amp; dont say to keep it natural.

I have the thermal straightening system done to my hair, but I do have to get it re-do every six months; while my friend who has less curly hair get's her re-done every nine months. It's really your personally perference there, but the price for touch-up's for me are about $200.00. It's worth the every penny you invest b/c I no longer have to fight the frizz, or the flat iron if I don't want to.



Depending on your area you might try thinking outside of the box. I've only gotten mine done from a Korean hairdresser and they tend to charge less vs. American hairdresser who will charge you an arm and a leg with less experience.

You could try this treatment, but in the end, there's nothing out there that will permanently straighten your hair for life. Unless you are willing to keep forking over the money to have treatments done.



Curly hair only goes frizzy if it's dry, dead-ends, broken hair strands or if you over comb it. So, basically, it really is best to leave it alone and not to brush / comb it so often and let it dry naturally. I too have curly hair, and hate it but I have come to realize that it's my hair and I have to do whatever I can to stay happy about it. You should too.



Best permanent hair straightening treatment?

try doing rebonding/straightening together with treatment as treatment helps to change the fizzy condition of hair.



Best permanent hair straightening treatment?

dont be natural



Best permanent hair straightening treatment?

Go to a really good, i mean, really good hair place. Ask them for a treatment for straightning hair. They might take a while, but it turns out great.



P.S.



It wont make your hair straight for life, but for a while. And remember, if you get the treatment, every day you need to use an iron a little, or else, it wont stay as long.



Good Luck! (i dont have the patience--lol)



Best permanent hair straightening treatment?

Best permanent hair straightening treatment?

Look into something called a Japanese perm.



It's expensive, but hey, it's only money...

Can someone who has used hair straightening products (not irons) tell me a good one to use?

I live in a city that has very high humidity in the summer. Because I have extremely frizzy hair I end up wearing it up alot to keep it from getting unruly. I would like to use a hair straightener product on my hair and would like to know of a good, safe one to use - something I can do myself. I also color my hair every 6 wks. or so, so it needs to be a product that can be safe on colored hair. I want to be able to wash my hair and not spend two hours drying and iron straightening it for the summer!



Can someone who has used hair straightening products (not irons) tell me a good one to use?

Matrix has the Sleek.look It is a really good line, but you must use the entire line:shampoo, conditoner, creme, and serum. There is a reason there is four steps. You must use them all to get the desired results. They also have an Iron spray for when you do flat iron! Good Luck!



Can someone who has used hair straightening products (not irons) tell me a good one to use?

I have the same problem with my hair. I use this stuff called Frizz Easd by John Freida. I still have to straighten it, but it doesnt take long and it lasts. You only need to use very little and it does a great job! try it out!



Can someone who has used hair straightening products (not irons) tell me a good one to use?

uhm..my aunt gave me the Matrix smoothing system. It smells pretty bad, lol. but it works. and my hair poofs like crazy in humidity!



Can someone who has used hair straightening products (not irons) tell me a good one to use?

Ive used the Matrix stuff, and it does smell bad and it doesnt work very well. Not to mention it doesnt straight. Use Herbal Essances Pin straight conditioner and shampoo. It is really great and gets rid of Frizz. It also costs less than matrix!



Can someone who has used hair straightening products (not irons) tell me a good one to use?

I use the CHI line of hair products. I have extremely frizzy hair too. I mix mousse and hair serum in my hair after I wash it. I let it dry overnight without any heating. Heat tends to make it frizzy when it is in the drying stage. Next morning, I get up and use the silk infusion and iron it straight. I do not have any problems with it staying put no matter what the humidity level outside.

What hair type works best for CHI Hair Straightening?

Hello, I have black hair and I am interested in hearing from anyone who is knowledgable (professional hair stylist preferred), about the CHI form of hair straightening. What type of hair was this method intended for? I am looking for a way to maintain a neat, professional and most importantly convenient style. Any advise/suggestions are greatly appreciated.



What hair type works best for CHI Hair Straightening?

I dont know if CHI has a specfic hair type but it works great on any type of hair and I'm sure it would work on yours. Just use small to medium size sections... it might not be able to get all the hair if you just grab a section and clump it together.



What hair type works best for CHI Hair Straightening?

Any hairtype. But dont buy the Chi it might break in 1 year or even 3 months.



What hair type works best for CHI Hair Straightening?

I know how that is, I'm half black, so I know, not all flat irons work on that type of hair. I have never used the CHI but my hair stylist, who does mainly black hair, swears by it. She even told me that she gets her hair permed every 4 months instead of every month because the CHI works so good on her hair! Ive heard only good things about that flat iron, Im even thinking about getting one myself. I say go for it, if it dosent work they way you'd like it to you can always return it.

Bio Ionic Hair Straightening?

Hi My hair is naturally straight with some wave in it My hair has a lot of fly aways and split ends I would like to have Bio Ionic Hair Straightening as I got told this would conceal split ends and fly aways. Is this true or is the process very drying? I dont want any further breakage



Bio Ionic Hair Straightening?

It is SO drying. My friend got it done to her hair and it feels like straw! Even after she gets out of the shower and her hair is wet it feels like plastic! It's so bad for your hair. If you have spilt ends, get a trim every 4-6 weeks. I considered bio ionic hair straightening until i felt my friends hair!



Bio Ionic Hair Straightening?

usually everything is not what its cracked up to be. so i assume its not going to do much more then any other hair straightener. just take care of your hair, use the right shampoos and conditoners (I suggest Sunsilk, use the kind that gets rid of flyaways.. it worked for me).. Good luck.



Bio Ionic Hair Straightening?

my hair is straight with a little wave a the end too. I've tried it but nothing happen. but make sure you do spend some on treatment on your hair

Whats the role of neutralizer in hair straightening?

When I went 2 d shop 2 buy L'oreals hair straightening cream it was sum 290/- but d nuetralizer along wit it was sum 550/-.SO does a neutralizer also straightens hair?C I hav triled many straightening creams lik belina, welastrate etc but they only keeps my hair straight when its wet, I need d name of cream that will keep my hair straight after getting dry also.Waiting 4 ur reply guyz



Whats the role of neutralizer in hair straightening?

Neutralizer locks the hair into the new shape. Same as in a perm, the perm soluton is applied and it breaks down the bonds in the hair allowing it to conform the new shape of a perm rod. After the timing is up the neutralizer is applied to the hair on the rod to lock in the new shape. Without neutralizer the hair stays the same shape it was before.



Whats the role of neutralizer in hair straightening?

Neutralizer



After the relaxer is completely shampooed and rinsed out with warm water (it can not be hot or cold and must be warm) a neutralizer solution is added to halt the relaxing process and restore the pH balance to the hair. The neutralizer is also known as a stabilizer or fixative. The neutralizer for a thio type of relaxer will actually re-form the cysteine cross-bonds in their new position and rehardens the hair.



From the time that the relaxing chemicals is removed and the hair is shampooed and than stabilized, the hair is extremely fragile and should be handled carefully.



Sometimes the chemicals will leave a reddish cast on the hair. When this happens the stylist can apply a special color rinse to remove the red cast. Sometimes this cast is not evident until the hair has been dried. The color rinse may be applied to dry hair as well.



Whats the role of neutralizer in hair straightening?

Neutralizer shampoo or neutralizer stops the action of the relaxer and locks it into the straightened state.



Some products the hair will revert back to its curlier state if neutralizer is not used.



Also, the neutralizer helps balance the ph of the hair.



Whats the role of neutralizer in hair straightening?

Actually, relaxers don't make your hair pin-straight. It makes your hair 'relax' its natural curl or wave pattern so that it will be easier to blow dry/flat iron, and to make it more manageable.



Whats the role of neutralizer in hair straightening?

The best thing you should do is japanese hair straightening...if your hair is long enough for a flat iron to grasp on to it, then you must try this! I have tried millions and zillions of products in the past and nothing has kept my hair straigt..however after doing the japanese straightening it is wonderfull...the cost is a bit high, but your hair stays straight until it grows out..even when your hair is dry it stays straight...its great...ask a nearby salon about this process...i recomend it to people who have frizzy puffy hair and want to tame it down...

I have thick curly hair. How well does Japanese hair straightening work? Does it cause much damage?

I've heard that Japanese hair straightening really helps. I know it's kinda pricey, but I think it will be worth it. But I'm still wondering about how straight my hair will get. Obviously, at the salon they will make it look great. But, how do I make it look nice on my own??? I dont' want to kill my hair with a million chemicals, but using some products are ok (I use Frizz Ease). Also, will I still have to go through the entire hair straightening regimen like always, or will there be less work on my part? Will my hair still frizz in the humidty? Can I go out at night and not have to worry about my hair pouffing up???



I have thick curly hair. How well does Japanese hair straightening work? Does it cause much damage?

Japanese hair straitening works really well..Its a lot like a relaxer but after they put the chemicles on your hair they use heat to get it to its maximum straitness. After you put it on your hair will be really strait and will not curl at all, you would have to use a curling iron if you wanted curl at all. If it is done right you will not have to use a flat iron at all, but if its not you might have bends in your hair that you will have to straiten out yourself. but that should only take a few min. The relaxer here will run you anywhere from $400 to $1000 dollars and lasts untill you get regrowth and you will have to have your roots retouched after about 3 months.



I have thick curly hair. How well does Japanese hair straightening work? Does it cause much damage?

I had a friend who had this done, and her hair was gorgeous. She said it still had a slight wave after she washed it, but that it was easy to blow out. Her hair was not frizzy at all, and the process made her hair very very soft.



I have thick curly hair. How well does Japanese hair straightening work? Does it cause much damage?

I also have curly hair and have thought a lot about that Japanese hair straightening! My mom got it about 2 years ago and her hair looks great! About every 6 months she goes back and they re-touch the roots that have grown out and it doesnt cost much! Everyday she takes a shower and goes... That's it! No products! And her hair doesnt frizz to much, but she does use Frizz Ease on those extra humid days! Good Luck!



I have thick curly hair. How well does Japanese hair straightening work? Does it cause much damage?

I am also a curly girl, and considered Japanese hair straightening for a while, and decided against it. It is very bad for your hair, and also looks really strange when it starts to grow out. If you decided to straighten it, you wouldn't be able to go back. I've been able to get control of my curls by using ridiculous amounts of conditioner... Redken All Soft in the big tub works the best for me.



But if you still want to straighten it, it is a possibility. And japanese straightening takes all the curl out of your hair, so you would not have to straighten your hair manually. You probably would still have to blowdry it, though.



I have thick curly hair. How well does Japanese hair straightening work? Does it cause much damage?

Works really well. You can depend on them. I use this Japanese straightening thing and it works wonders and never was broken. Now, before I bought that Japanese one, my old straightener broke in 6 months.
