Q: What Is Japanese Hair Straightening?

 

 

Japanese hair straightening is a new technique that makes frizzy, curly, or wavy hair pin-straight without causing much damage to your hair. Unlike using a flat iron to straighten your hair temporarily, Japanese hair straightening actually makes your hair stay straight – permanently. However, when your roots grow out, they’ll grow out curly, not straight. Only hair whose surface has actually undergone the treatment will be permanently straight. When your roots start to grow in, you can go to SEMA HAIR salon for a touch-up, which will make the roots straight, too.
 

Q: How Long Does Japanese Hair Straightening Last?

The hair that’s actually treated with the Japanese hair straightening process will stay straight forever (i.e., until you cut it off!), but your roots are going to grow in curly. Depending on how fast your hair grows, that means you may have to go to your salon to get your roots touched up every six months or so, or maybe even longer.

 

Q: What kind of hair is suitable for Japanese Hair Straightening?

 

 

A: Most hair types except hair, as the hair is too fragile and cannot withstand the heat.
These types include:
African
Caucasian Hair.
Asian Hair.
Middle Eastern Hair.
Norwegian Hair.
Latin Hair.
All other Hair types.

 

 

Q: What will my hair look like after the Straightening?

 

 

A: Your hair will be straight, shinier, and will feel soft and silky.

 

 

Q: I have color in my hair, will that matter?

 

 

A: Tints and semi-permanent hair color that deposits color are not usually any problem at all. If you have had your hair dyed black, please let your Stylist know, as this can sometimes create problems.

 

 

Q: What other names are used to describe Japanese Hair Straightening?

 

 

A: Japanese Hair Straightening, Japanese Straightening, Ionic Retexturizing, Thermal Restructuring, Rebonding, Thermal Reconstruction.

 

 

Q: When I go back for the re-growth, does it cost less?

 

 

A: Not usually. Because the same amount of time is involved in the retouch, the cost is often the same as the first Straightening. All the hair still has to be ironed, even though the solution is mainly on the roots.

 

Q: When can I shampoo my hair after Japanese hair straightening?

 

A: Usually, it takes about three days for the Japanese Permanent Hair Straightening to fully set, as the treatment works with the hair’s protein structure. During these three days, the hair becomes even straighter and smoother.

 

 

Q: Do you need to blow‑dry your hair at home after Japanese Hair Straightening?

 

A: Yes — but only gently. After Japanese Permanent Hair Straightening, the hair must stay perfectly straight, dry, and smooth for about 72 hours while the protein structure finishes setting.
