Is my hair suitable for straightening?

Lets begin by saying that virgin hair that's never been bleached, coloured, hi-lighted or permed is the best candidate for Japanese Straightening.

Now we know, there's not many girls out there who haven't tried at least one, if not all, of these on their hair. What you need to realise is the finished result will be affected by any of your previous treatments and the tighter the natural curl, the less effective the end result. So, corkscrew or afro style hair isn't suitable for straightening. Bleached hair is also too damaged to be able to expect any real results from a straightening system.

Tinted or coloured hair can be straightened much more effectivley than hi-lighted hair. With hi-lights you end up with a few damaged strands next to healthier hair, and this makes for a complicated process where the natural hair appears differently straightened to the hi-lights.

That said we can give you our expert opinion on what will and won't work for your hair condition if we see you in advance of your appointment.
