In the past, people were concerned that if they straightened their hair, they would damage it significantly, and this was true. It is not true any more. Hair can be straightened much more effectively with the new thermal techniques and products with virtually no damage to the hair. Thermal Hair Straightening typically will improve the hair's feel, softness and shine while making it more manageable! That means less styling time. No more frizziness during humid weather and an over all new silky straight look. Your Salon Professional will consult you as to the details of the Thermal Straightening Procedure.

| Q: I have color in my hair, will that matter? A: Tints and semi-permanent hair color that deposit 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: Can I get Permanent Hair Straightening if I have highlights? A: Highlights can be very tricky. When hair is highlighted, usually bleach is involved. This makes the timing very difficult because some hair is lightened right next to hair that is not lightened. Therefore the hair may process fast where highlights are present and need much more time where the hair is dark and unprocessed.. So in order not to over process the light hair, the solution should be rinsed out and the darker, healthier hair may not take. A prior consultation with your stylist is necessary to determine if Thermal Hair Straightening will be a good choice for those with highlighted hair. Q: What about bleach? Is this O.K.? A: Not usually. Highlights often contain bleach so it is imperative you see your stylist before the Straightening. They may want to cut some hair from your head and test it to make sure it will work well and there are no surprises. Any good stylist should be happy to perform a test strand. Q: What about Henna? A: A test strand should be performed to be sure Henna won't be a problem. Q: How much does Thermal Hair Straightening cost? A: Typically from $250-$800 depending hair length, curl, thickness, and amount of chemical processing present. Q: Why does it cost so much? A: The process usually takes from 3 to 6 hours straight to perform. You may be able to find this service for less, but beware, this is an extremely difficult treatment to perform and those who charge less often are less competent. Salon176 only uses a very high quality product and the raw cost of this product is also very high, but ensures your hair will not be damaged as other inferior products may cause. Q: When I go back for the re-growth, does it cost less? A: Not usually. Because the same amount of time is involved with the retouch, often the cost will be the same as the first Straightening. All the hair still has to be ironed even though the solution is mainly on the roots. Q: What other names are used to describe Permanent Thermal Hair Straightening? A: Japanese Hair Straightening, Japanese Straightening, Ionic Retexturizing, Thermal Restructuring, Rebonding, Thermal Reconstruction. Q: Why are the old type of relaxers so damaging? A: Most relaxers contain corrosive ingredients such as Sodium Hydroxide, Potassium Hydroxide, Lithium Hydroxide, Calcium Hydroxide etc. These ingredients corrode the hair to the point where it is able to be changed to a straight look. These products leave the hair feeling dry and the curl comes back after an often short period of time. This method is still used successfully for those who prefer it. |

The Straightening is performed as follows:
1. Assessing the hair type and condition.
2. Washing the hair.
3. Applying protein to the hair, if necessary for the
particular customer and hair type. (small extra charge for this
procedure, if you don't do this when necessary, you could end
up with a less than satisfactory result, the stylist will tell you if
this is necessary or not in your consultation)
4. Applying Solution #1 (this cuts the hair's "Cystine
Bonds" - the bonds that hold curl or wave patterns).
5. Testing to see when the hair is ready to have solution
#1 rinsed out.
6. Rinsing the hair.
7. Eliminating some excess moisture in the hair (blow-
drying to a certain point).
8. Ironing the hair in extremely small sections with a
special Thermal Straightening Iron that reaches temperatures
of 180 degrees Celsius. Don't worry, this will not damage your
hair unnecessarily.
9. Applying Solution #2 to the hair after ironing is
completed.
10. Rinsing the hair and conditioning.
11. Drying the hair and applying a flat iron to remove
excess moisture if necessary.
Q: How long will the Hair Straightening last?
A: Treated hair will remain straight forever and will not
become curly or wavy again. New growth that appears in
the months following the Straightening will need to be
Straightened again. New growth usually needs to be
straightened 3 to 6 months after the initial straightening
depending on the rapidity of growth.
Q: What kind of hair is suitable for Thermal Hair
Straightening?
A: Most hair types except African,
as the hair is too fragile and cannot withstand the heat.
These types include:
·
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: Will I still need to blow-dry my hair after
Straightening?
A: Sometimes yes, but just to get the moisture out. This
usually takes about 4 to 5 minutes instead of 45 minutes!
Some people will not need to blow-dry at all. In most
cases you will not need to brush.
Q: When I get the new growth retreated, do they do all
the hair again?
A: No, just the new growth and the transition between
Straightened and new growth is treated. The other hair
is protected by using oil or conditioner so the solution
will not saturate into the previously straightened hair. If
there is still curl or wave in the previously treated hair
or more than 4 months after previous hair straightening,
special solution will be applied, but for a shorter period
of time.
Crystallizing special solution is designed for treated
hair, this will give more protein to your hair to refresh
previous hair straightening. Also we will iron the full
length of hair again otherwise the transition area
between will have an unwanted line.

go back to the same stylist that performed the
initial service. They will best know your hair
growth and patterns
