By now, I'm sure you've heard of the hair straightening process invented in Japan that has swept America and made countless women forever grateful to it's hair-transforming powers.

As the name suggests it originated in Japan and the process will give you permanently straight hair as opposed to the temporary straight hair provided by in-home straighteners like the excellent Sedu flat iron. In reality it lasts about 6 months when your hair will need re-touching because of the hair growth.

So, if you are tired of the constant war where the battle filed is your head, then all you need to do is to choose which of these two methods you prefer, apply it, and enjoy your smooth, bright, and silky straight Sedu hairstyle.

Who can get this treatment?

It's recommended for all types of hair: virgin, colored, highlighted, previously straightened, kinky, curly, and wavy hair. The beautiful part about this treatment is that it lasts for a long time. You can expect up to 3-4 solid months of beautiful straight hair. Good luck with your Brazilian hair straightening treatment.

If you do decide to go ahead remember that hair straightened by this process will keep your hair looking smooth and shiny for six to nine months depending on your hair growth rate. Therefore the 4 to 6 hours (depending on hair length) it takes for the process is definitely worth it.

Different Hair Types and Straightening

Fine, chemically lightened, or colored hair generally requires a very mild relaxing formula. Normal, medium-textured hair that has never been chemically treated (called virgin hair) can tolerate regular strength relaxers. Coarse virgin hair may require a strong or super relaxing formula. Your hair stylist will be able to determine the best type of relaxing formula based on the results of a strand test and by looking at and touching the hair that is to be treated.

After you have undergone the process then you may want to wait a few days, normally recommended 4 days until you undertake some certain activities in order that you do not affect the results. Some things that you should avoid include, washing your hair, using hair clips, putting your hair up or into pony tails, excessive exercise or sweating, hair bands or any types of gel, moose or sprays.

When you are keeping hair straight after using a hair iron another method you could try is to apply a straightening serum or a heat protecting spray, add a little hair spray, straighten the hair and then complete the cycle for each section. You will find usually the longest time that your hair will remain straight will be between two to four days. After this point you are likely to want to wash your hair anyway and you will then need to reapply the process.

Do not place the straighteners directly on the scalp else you run the risk of burning your head. Move the straighteners down at a nice gently and fairly slow pace. If you are new to using straighteners then you may want someone to help you the first time until you feel able to complete the task by yourself.
