Angel Locsin I can’t decide, and my hair can’t decide. Some days it’s wavy others it’s almost completely straight. I wanted waves? Nope your hair is straight. I wanted straight hair? Let’s give you waves and tones of frizz for today. Bruh.
abbyjing1117 We think Jun does actually have it! In one video, he was talking about how he found a couple red hairs and even took photos of it, so not all hope is lost!
Brad: everyone is always late to their appointments Me: shows up on time everytime but my hairdresser never takes me until at least 30 minutes after my appointment time
Rachel's hair is her natural colour. Japan is extremely humid in the summer, which is why these are so popular. If your hair tends to frizz, then it's really hard to keep it straight, regardless of what products you're using.
@@palladium607 I think in this case is more ethnicity determining typical hair types. East Asian like Japanese tend to have coarse hair compared to White or Caucasian with lighter hair genetics.
Straightening treatment cause more damage than bleaching. It looked healthy but it's basically burning and altering the bonds in your hair while bleaching is just removing pigments in your hair
That's not true at all. As long as you use formaldehyde free treatments, straightening is not so bad. It can actually help bleached hair. It can help repair damage.
@@psiloki9054 you can't repair hair damage. The only thing you can do to repair damage is cut the damaged part off. You can make damaged hair feel better, but the damage can't be repaired.
@Artoria Pendragon It depends on what texture hair you have how humidity will affect it. Generally natural blondes and red heads have finer hair which is more prone to frizzing. I have lots of really fine hair and I always get crazy bad static when its dry and frizzy when its humid.
Oh my gosh love that he reacted to Rachel getting her hair done. I always forget she got it done bc it looks so good on her, and it’s obviously been years since she first got it done. And yes, that IS her natural hair color!!!! I like my natural hair wave but it doesn’t come without a lot of frizziness, and living somewhere as humid as Japan I’d probably also feel really frustrated if my hair puffed up everyday.
Think he realizes that Mikan and Rachel went to the same salon? It's a popular salon for english speakers to go to in Tokyo called Salon Nalu, pretty neat place!
If a person feels better with straight hair, he or she should definitely do these procedures. The real beauty is being free to choose what you want to look like
THANK YOUU. I'm black but I've been straightening my hair because I like them more that way, it suits my face shape more and so many of my friends with curly hair get mad at me for it??? Like, it's MY hair girl, let me be 😭🤦🏿
Jin the banana from the left In the black community, people have been harassed and discriminated against for their natural hair texture. So much that even our own parents instill that our hair is ugly and needs to be straight/ “fixed” as early as three years old. I get you, you need to be free to do what you want. But most of the time, it’s deeper than “just “ hair
It’s the wavy girls that go for this type of process because their hair can’t be worn just air dried, and it also doesn’t curl or straighten well very easily, both takes WORK to not just end up a frizzed mess - I know from experience! 😩
I honestly didn't even think that was related. There are treatments some people get. I went into a sort of remission when I was a teenager though(it doesn't undo it but it just means it doesn't progress more-its not in remission now. Having kids took it out of it but then we knew that was a possibility before I was even pregnant so...). Didn't even relate these two things. Fun fact though. The rod they do on some people is fucking horrific. I get that for some people it totally works but a friend of mine had it done when he was still a kid and as a young adult sometimes he'd end up laying on the ground dealing with the spasms. Because the rod forces his spine to be straight but the body is resisting and that causes crap. I'm not sure if a rod would have honestly been better for me. I've had spasms too but I don't have a rod to exasterbate the issue either so... It's not even a little bit the same thing. Not everyone can get the rod and generally you have to be young and have it be considered bad enough for the risk to even be a thing. But technically you could say ways to straighten the spine or force it that way do exist. They are also incredibly dangerous and cannot be done if the spine progresses too far as well. It's all very complicated. I'm not sure if I am too old now but I do imagine that if a doctor deemed it necessary or a good sort of possible treatment for me at my age that it would be a more difficult process at thirty than it would have been when I was still supposed to be growing. I think chances of rejection of the rod are also higher when your older where a child's body is overall more likely to adapt? Not sure. Not a doctor. Just have scholiosis and pay attention when doctors speak and then research a bit too? But seriously. I could be wrong. I don't actually know and some is honest speculation but the rod is a thing. Not really how you imagine though. It's something your spine is actively doing. It's not really passive like hair.
Hey, Brad. I have depression, which makes it difficult to do basic things like getting out of bed, showering, doing the dishes, etc. I also live alone, so I don’t have someone to talk to while I’m doing those things. Your videos give me a kind and uplifting voice to listen to while I work through my shit. Thank you for being here for us.
I’m so glad you found Rachel and Jun! Her hair is pretty majestic and I think completely her natural colour. I got my hair straightened with the Japanese method and the first salon did not do it properly and left me with wavy hair. The second salon did a great job but just as you said, my hair grew out and I had to straighten the curly roots which meant touching the straight hair with the straightener and damaging it faster. I couldn’t just go for a swim or go skiing without worrying about my hair. It was way too high maintenance for my lifestyle. And I have fine hair so it was so pin straight and flat without any body which I didn’t like.
That is the color of my hair. I’m 64 and still I have no gray. Although my hair is darker than it used to be. I wonder if hers is natural because her eyebrows are so dark. Of course she might dye them. Mine and others I know with this bright copper as Brad called it, we have light eyebrows almost invisible eyebrows.
I got a Japanese hair straightening treatment! Lasted like a year and a half! It was actually super healthy!! No damage at all!! I loved it! It felt super soft, and I would get out of the shower and it would dry off completely straight! But it did take foreverrrrr during the process!! It took like 3 or 4 hours!
I want to get my hair permanently straighten because it's really fizzy, like Rachel's. Unfortunately I can't because I live in America and Japan is too far away.
Omigosh I love Rachel and Jun's channel, this is so cool to see them in one of your videos! (Holy cow! Thanks for the likes! I’ve never gotten this many! Here’s a cat in honor of Rachel and Jun🐈)
I got the Japanese straightening perm after a ton of online research and watching Rachel's video. Best decision ever, and such value for cost because it's truly permanent.
S K I did my whole head originally for 150USD. Then moved to an expensive city and now do the roots touchup for just under 200USD (many places include the haircut). That’s on the cheaper end for a large city outside of Asia. I’ve done it at both Japanese and Korean salons. Wasn’t difficult to find, but during the consultation it’s good to ask how long they’ve been doing the treatment. Best to find someone experienced.
@C.O. I haven't noticed any damage and my hair has not lost any luster. However, the perm does make your hair less able to hold moisture so to avoid damage over time I started some new habits: Deep condition once a week, use conditioner when I wash and a hair oil after. I also use a wooden wide-tooth comb instead of a brush; there's not much to style when you have pin straight hair and combs in general are more gentle.
I've been tempted to. My hair is naturally straight but I think it would help with looking more sleek and add some shine now that it's so long. I don't know if they do it in the US though..
I love Brad too! I've just been following Juns Kitchen and Rachel's channels for forever. I get so excited when my foreign youtubers get recognition! 🥰
I get to the hairdresser like 15 minutes early but I sit in my car until I have like 5-3 minutes left because I have anxiety 😂😂😂 so while I'm in my car I'm mentally preparing myself 😂😂
I had an ex who argued with me that my curly hair couldn't come from being Asian. He absolutely insisted that Asian people only have straight hair, it's the only gene that exists among us Asian people. He could not give me an answer as to why Japanese straightening treatments exist or why it's so strong and permanent.
I wouldn't say he knows "nothing"... But it's very clear he does not specialize in curly hair 😅 if you want to follow someone who DOES know a lot about curly hair, check out Manes by Mell ❤️
As someone who has naturally wavy hair, damaging it to get the japanese straightening treatment would be worth it to have straight hair. I would love to be able to let it air dry with the confidence of knowing it would still look good, plus when I put it up in a bun or ponytail, all the frizzy baby hairs poke out, it’s annoying!! Especially since gels and hairsprays irritate my sensitive scalp 😩
Yep! Imagine getting caught in the rain, going swimming, or being in a humid environment. Your hair will never look shit!! Somehow my hair looks worse when it got rained on, and the frizz went everywhere...
Brad: “what’s up beautiful” Me: *wrapped up in blankets and lookin like a potato right after a mental breakdown* Your videos always makes me feel better, thank you for the amazing content.
I once tried convincing my mom into letting me permanently straighten my 2c/3a curls and she didn’t let me. This was when I was 13. I’m 21 now and I’m glad she didnt let me because I haven’t straightened my hair in MONTHS and I really love my natural hair now ❤️🥺
@@lorianne2615 I got my hair straightened (I have no idea what exactly my hair type because my hairs kind of damaged, its probably 2b-3a range) with a keratin treatment a few years ago and it lasted 6 months. I had longer hair (middle of my back) and brushed it constantly so it was a frizzy and fluffy mess. After the treatment started growing out I got my hair cut to a bob and started caring properly for my curly hair and I honestly am so happy I found out that I like my curly hair, but I doubt I would've without getting the treatment. If you think you'd like it I'd go for it, you can always go back in a few monthsm
I love my curls too but it’s too much maintenance for me. So I think it’s time for me to change, and then in the future I’ll grow my curls out again, or cut my hair completely lol.
@EmpressKajal same, I'm American British and I have an in between accent so my accent is always that odd one out either in England (where I live) and when I visit my family in the US
I love how Brad doesn't shy away from talking about the money aspect of being a hair dresser. Sometimes with the artistry you can forget that people are making a living with what they're doing.
The people at the hair salon said that they use a treatment first to break the bonds in the hair that decide the frizz or curl of the hair. Then they straighten it to create the permanent straightness. Finally they add a treatment to reseal the bonds.
They uses a product to change the bonds, they rinse brush and iron and they finalize with the Neutralizer, to stop the chemical reaction of the first product.
I actually got my hair chemically straightened in Japan 9 months ago and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. My hair is dyed blonde but the hairdresser used a pretty new straightening cream and Olaplex and the breakage was really minimal. Before that, I would frequently straighten my hair or put it in a bun because I didn’t like the way it looked loose (think Hagrid). Since getting it permanently straightened, I always wear it open, which makes me feel more beautiful than having it in a bun and is healthier for my hair, and only straighten my roots very occasionally. My hair is longer and healthier looking than previously, my ends stay straight longer after getting cut (ie fewer split ends) and I don’t have to go through the process of straightening. On top of that I feel more beautiful. Fellow Hagrid-hair ladies - find a good hairdresser and go for it!
Would this perm work if my hair is poofy and curly, and has a lot of split ends already? Like, would it damage my hair more or not? I'm thinking of trying it out but I need advice ;-;
222_ Chan 222_ Chan My hair is naturally also poofy and curly so that’s not a problem. The process may damage your hair a little: it involves chemicals that change the structure of your hair so it’s to be reckoned with. However, updated treatments combined with Olaplex (or an alternative) make it far less damaging than it might have been just a few years ago. The damage and hair loss was really minimal for me. Also, if you regularly straighten your hair anyway than this might be a less damaging solution overall. Regarding split ends: I’d recommend cutting them before undergoing treatment. Do some research and find a good salon. Any professional hairdresser will not even do the treatment on you if they think it will cause too much damage.
I have 80s kinky hair naturally. Not wavy, not curly, just somewhere in between. I had the Japanese straightener done (in San Diego) because I was going to be in (very humid) Hong Kong for 3 months & was worried about having styling tools that were compatible with their plugs. At the time I had been getting Henna coloring by Aveda for a few years. The treatment took 6 hours and cost me $400. Zero damage despite not having virgin hair. THE BEST DECISION EVER!!! I could blow dry my hair with a vent brush and it would be straight and good to go. I could also still set my hair in rollers and it would hold the curl. No issues even in extreme humidity. It was insanely convenient! I actually loved when my roots started coming in, at about 3 months, because I had a little more volume at the top. I never had an awkward grow in period. I'm shocked that Brad's not a fan but I sure as heck am! Highly recommend!
Actually it's a pretty common hair treatment in Asia because the weather is very humid and my hair is super thick and frizzy. I've done straightening treatment once a year for 15 years starting from rebonding, smoothening to keratin. I love it, always sleek and shiny.
@@constanzarojas1901 I've been getting this Japanese rebonding for the past 13 years and I don't have much split ends. I'm pretty sure we have different technology here in Asia.
I got my hair permanently straightened for around 5 years (the roots touch-ups were terrible btw) and only recently have I realized I shouldnt damage my natural curly hair and spend a lot of money to look like everyone else Yes it was convenient to wake up and look bomb without dealing with the curliness but tbh I love my hair now.
Tbh it takes us so long to take care of it because we didn’t grow up learning how. It’s that we have to learn a whole new curly/wavy methodology when we decide to go natural, because straight hair is for some reason the “norm” and things like dry brushing, regular use of silicones are just part of life for us. I spent so much of my 23 years straightening it, and the more of us that do that, the less well known curly methods will be for others like us. I’m so glad I stopped damaging my hair while I’m still young! Good luck to you!
When Brad was talking about everyone being late to their appointments, I thought “no way! I’m always early!” And then he said or people are super early. And I realized that was me... I always waaay to early.
I got my hair Japanese straightened for the first time last year, after watching Rachel and finding a salon in London. I get a touch up done once a year, it’s the best thing I have ever done for my hair. Surprisingly I get very little damage compared to when I used to colour it. FYI Rachel also did a 1 year later catch up when she got hers redone. Great Video!
Pix. Lisa what salon in London? I didn’t think we could get real Japanese straightening here? As in, the same products and everything. Could you let me know which one you use? Thanks
Hey NadyuLife, I got mine done at a hair salon in Camden it’s called Jeju. Had mine done twice now at the same place and I don’t even bother of looking for anywhere else, they were nice there and talked me through everything. If you search the salon on UA-cam there’s a review.
In my country its jst called permanent straightening, today is the first time i ever heard that its called japenese treatment. So i think any permanent straighting is the same. Its jst the number of times they apply the product that changes.
This is a very common treatment here in the Philippines, humidity is all time high in here all year round and frizz is always the enemy for many of us. Most Filipinos have wavy hair and it's harder to manage in this weather especially when you have thick hair. Also, Asian countries is not curly/wavy hair product or salon friendly, you can rarely find a salon that specializes in curly hair in the Philippines or products that is specifically for curly/wavy type, it costs atleast 3x as much to have it shipped from the US. It's more of a cultural thing too, pin straight black hair is something deemed as a standard of beauty in most Asian countries.
Truth ^ Like everyone in East and Southeast Asia have this chemical hair straightening done and there's no issues with it. It's only in America where they have this problem with it. They make it sound like all their hair is going to fall out and are going to die.
I'd get there half an hour early and literally loiter just outside the door because I'm afraid to go in and stress out the staff, but I don't wanna go too far away and risk becoming late XDD
Well I guess it makes sense bc Rachel and Jun aren’t exactly very mainstream (don’t get me wrong, I would literally die for them and brad) but, no one else in the video gets as much love as them... don’t take my word for it tho, I’m just some random commenter
Was anyone else annoyed that he didn’t turn on the subtitles for Rachel’s video? They explained the process of the straightening in detail but it was in Japanese.
My mother is a hairdresser who trained in permanent hair straightening and rebonding about 20 years ago, there are different Japanese brands and knockoff brands that can obviously have different effects on hair, and especially if not done by a trained professional can result in hair being severely damaged. BUT as long as someone qualified is treating your hair and using legit and professional brands, such as Paimore, the perm will turn out fine and in some cases even improve the quality of the hair! Just feel like Brad might be slightly ill informed, probably based on his own experience so definitely not trying to slate or question his knowledge, but just letting people know you shouldn’t be afraid of getting it done if you’re considering consulting with a hairdresser (who will determine whether or not your hair is suitable for the chemical) and with a proper rebonding business!
@@iheartanime1011 no he's right. It DOES damage your hair. But just that heat, putting hair up all the time, bleaching and dying does the exact same thing. People still do it anyway. And it's just hair, it grows back too so do whatever you want.
As I said before, and I’m only saying this because I’ve grown up with someone who does this treatment as a full time job, it is a strong chemical that can leave the hair damaged. For fine, bleached hair or hair full of silicone this is the case. But since this treatment chemically changes the ph balance of the hair, for strong, coarse, untreated hair it can do absolute wonders in terms of texture, glossiness and moisture. It also makes your hair feel weightless and it dries in half the time. But yeah as you said, people bleach, colour, use heat and products that equally ruin the hair and a lot of people don’t mind having their hair a little drier than normal if it means not having to straighten it every single day. Just wish Brad would maybe see the results of people who really love the perm, just disappoints me a tiny bit because I know literally hundreds of people who do
namedarmybybts you need to calm all the way down about making this shit a race thing. It is in NO way offensive for someone to call use the words wavy and curly interchangeably.
namedarmybybts my people lmao 😂 you have no clue what my ethnicity is, and regardless of my ethnicity or yours, it’s not hurting anything at all for someone to call their wavy hair curly, their curly hair wavy, their pin straight hair wavy, their loose curls unmanageable, etc etc etc. It’s not hurting anyone. It’s not offensive, derogatory, or racially charging whatsoever. It’s someone describing hair lmao. Take all this energy and put it into advocating for real issues. You have the passion to really make a difference.
Whenthestarssettle Don’t get me wrong, i love my natural curl pattern. I just don’t have TIME. It takes so much work for 4c hair to look cute. Straightening my hair is a win-win. It’s so much easier to maintain, and i look cute. And thanks btw!
@Whenthestarssettle It's a pain to deal with. I hate it lol. Y'all can get mad but my hair looks better straight instead of in it's natural 4C state. So shoot me 🤷🏿♀️
I've gotten the straightening treatment done twice now, it does make your hair more manageable. It just makes it very convenient especially if you have frizzy hair or tend to straighten your hair daily!
I was in japan over the summer and it was ridiculously humid so it makes sense why people would want to do this. My hair was a giant frizzball the whole time I was there
rachel said she really liked the treatment because in the US her hair was pretty straight all the time and then she moved to Japan where it was more humid and it became frizzier and wavier than she was used to so the treatments seem to work really well with her natural hair type anyway! :)
I actually got my hair permanentley straightened and my hair was so soft, and didn't get any damage, even if it air dried it was straight. The roots didn't bother me until they were long.
1st video: "I've been told to never air dry my hair"... Me: remembers watching Rachel's video like a year ago... Which we watch her let her hair air dry in.... sooo
@@floriansis400 not only that but my head is super sensitive to heat now more than ever. Once a blow dryer comes near me, I can feel my scalp wanting to melt
My hair grows so fast it would literally be a waste of money to pay for having it straightened. Sometimes I wish I had 'calmer' hair, but on the other hand, my hair is almost undestructible, so I've learned to embrace it and love it XD
@@shoshog4647 not true really. Just like how you can do braid outs and rod sets on type 3 and 4, you van use those on wavy hair too. Wavy hair should hold an artificial curl so much better than straight hair. It just seems to be a theme with them just wearing it as is and having unsatisfactory feelings, especially when not using correct products.
Coming from someone who did the keratin hair treatment this is my honest opinion! I used to straighten my hair every other two or three days but during the summer, it was like once a day or every other day only if I can keep it not so greasy and dirty 😢 Once I did keratin my hair started looking so beautiful, not dead burn and damage. My hair grew out so much!!! I went from straightening my hair multiple times a month to only once every six months. Yes the temperature is high 450° is crazy for your hair, but it’s only one time every six months compared to constantly straightening on low temp taking forever, wasting money on heat protectant treatments that don’t really do much I still get split ends and damaged Hair, I’d say it’s worth the salon visit. Straightening my hair more than once a week was more maintenance than this treatment. Likeeee ima keep doing keratin straightening treatment till I can’t anymore. And with working a full time job running a business and about to start school again it saves so much time 😊 so yes definitely worth it in my opinion!
the second layer after they straightened it is the neutralizer! I've gotten my hair Japanese straightened for about 7 years, but since I recently decided to get full highlights I don't believe I will be continuing it. It did not ruin my hair though, and it did not make it perfectly straight.
@@irenekay7934 It reforms the hair in the straight layer. The first product breaks it down so it can be permanently changed, the second layer locks it in.
@@irenekay7934 basically stops the first step of breaking down the bonds in the hair. If you don't use it your hair will pretty much fall apart and you can get pretty severe chemical burns on your scalp.
i got it done in germany, theres only one whos doing it (as far as i know..) and i LOVED the outcome. i have very fine hair, not damaged and it was still healthy a year after that. after the treatment it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO soft, silky, shiny, absolutely perfect. and it stays like that. the roots are the problem, but with my hair i can live with it for a year or even more without going to the hairdresser. i would do it again and again and again and again. :D
Straight hair are healthier - curles need special treatment because they are extremely dry. +If you don't care about them properly, they will not look good... That's why i don't want them :)
Im interested in hair, but English is not my first language, so I can't use proffesional terminology unfortunately, but there is a lot of problems with curly hair.
@@leena75 I also have always had very curly hair. I did not take care of my hair when I was a growing up and now my hair is very damaged. I used to straighten my hair every day... so now it's very dry and wavy/straight. A mess... ;(
@@Ana-lk4mq not always true, my mom and I both have naturally straight hair and love having it. I don't want curly hair (I did curl my hair a couple times in middle school and I did like it but I prefer having straight hair)
Well it is some kind of sheep fat in my case and it should avoid yout hair from getting frizzy and it said it would straighten it. Mine was a total clickbait and the hairdresser just tried it anyway (in this country not many have curls). It ended with my hair beeing smooth and straight the first two days, not straight straight but still some waves... and then... my hair went downhill real bad...

“Very, majestically red copper, hair,” one of the most satisfying sentences you’ve ever said Brad, for only the way you said it.
Rachel's hair is her natural colour.
Japan is extremely humid in the summer, which is why these are so popular. If your hair tends to frizz, then it's really hard to keep it straight, regardless of what products you're using.
Cap'n Crimson Ahh, red hair. I have auburn hair and it will frizz sometimes if I air dry it. Lol
@@LuWho21 frizz has nothing to do with the color of your hair.
@@palladium607 I think in this case is more ethnicity determining typical hair types. East Asian like Japanese tend to have coarse hair compared to White or Caucasian with lighter hair genetics.
Brad: I don’t like this hair treatment cause it’s bad for your hair.
Also Brad: * is addicted to colouring and bleaching his hair *
Straightening treatment cause more damage than bleaching. It looked healthy but it's basically burning and altering the bonds in your hair while bleaching is just removing pigments in your hair
Short hair is cut more frequently making it easier to do your thing without damage.
That's not true at all. As long as you use formaldehyde free treatments, straightening is not so bad. It can actually help bleached hair. It can help repair damage.

One reason Rachel got it done was because the humidity in Japan is so bad.
@Artoria Pendragon It depends on what texture hair you have how humidity will affect it. Generally natural blondes and red heads have finer hair which is more prone to frizzing. I have lots of really fine hair and I always get crazy bad static when its dry and frizzy when its humid.

Oh my gosh love that he reacted to Rachel getting her hair done. I always forget she got it done bc it looks so good on her, and it’s obviously been years since she first got it done. And yes, that IS her natural hair color!!!! I like my natural hair wave but it doesn’t come without a lot of frizziness, and living somewhere as humid as Japan I’d probably also feel really frustrated if my hair puffed up everyday.
Hehe I was gonna say almost that whole exact thing.

If a person feels better with straight hair, he or she should definitely do these procedures. The real beauty is being free to choose what you want to look like
THANK YOUU. I'm black but I've been straightening my hair because I like them more that way, it suits my face shape more and so many of my friends with curly hair get mad at me for it??? Like, it's MY hair girl, let me be 😭🤦🏿
Jin the banana from the left In the black community, people have been harassed and discriminated against for their natural hair texture. So much that even our own parents instill that our hair is ugly and needs to be straight/ “fixed” as early as three years old. I get you, you need to be free to do what you want. But most of the time, it’s deeper than “just “ hair

It’s the wavy girls that go for this type of process because their hair can’t be worn just air dried, and it also doesn’t curl or straighten well very easily, both takes WORK to not just end up a frizzed mess - I know from experience! 😩

I honestly didn't even think that was related. There are treatments some people get. I went into a sort of remission when I was a teenager though(it doesn't undo it but it just means it doesn't progress more-its not in remission now. Having kids took it out of it but then we knew that was a possibility before I was even pregnant so...).
Didn't even relate these two things.
Fun fact though. The rod they do on some people is fucking horrific. I get that for some people it totally works but a friend of mine had it done when he was still a kid and as a young adult sometimes he'd end up laying on the ground dealing with the spasms. Because the rod forces his spine to be straight but the body is resisting and that causes crap.
I'm not sure if a rod would have honestly been better for me. I've had spasms too but I don't have a rod to exasterbate the issue either so...
It's not even a little bit the same thing. Not everyone can get the rod and generally you have to be young and have it be considered bad enough for the risk to even be a thing. But technically you could say ways to straighten the spine or force it that way do exist. They are also incredibly dangerous and cannot be done if the spine progresses too far as well. It's all very complicated. I'm not sure if I am too old now but I do imagine that if a doctor deemed it necessary or a good sort of possible treatment for me at my age that it would be a more difficult process at thirty than it would have been when I was still supposed to be growing. I think chances of rejection of the rod are also higher when your older where a child's body is overall more likely to adapt? Not sure. Not a doctor. Just have scholiosis and pay attention when doctors speak and then research a bit too? But seriously. I could be wrong. I don't actually know and some is honest speculation but the rod is a thing. Not really how you imagine though. It's something your spine is actively doing. It's not really passive like hair.
LMAOOO
Hey, Brad. I have depression, which makes it difficult to do basic things like getting out of bed, showering, doing the dishes, etc. I also live alone, so I don’t have someone to talk to while I’m doing those things.

I’m so glad you found Rachel and Jun! Her hair is pretty majestic and I think completely her natural colour. I got my hair straightened with the Japanese method and the first salon did not do it properly and left me with wavy hair. The second salon did a great job but just as you said, my hair grew out and I had to straighten the curly roots which meant touching the straight hair with the straightener and damaging it faster. I couldn’t just go for a swim or go skiing without worrying about my hair. It was way too high maintenance for my lifestyle. And I have fine hair so it was so pin straight and flat without any body which I didn’t like.
Yeah, it is natural 😊 I remember her saying from a video ^^
Love Rachel's hair. So pretty and yes totally natural color
Renee Archer LITERALLY I LOVE RACHEL AND JUN!!!
That is the color of my hair. I’m 64 and still I have no gray. Although my hair is darker than it used to be. I wonder if hers is natural because her eyebrows are so dark. Of course she might dye them. Mine and others I know with this bright copper as Brad called it, we have light eyebrows almost invisible eyebrows.
I love them
I got a Japanese hair straightening treatment! Lasted like a year and a half! It was actually super healthy!! No damage at all!! I loved it! It felt super soft, and I would get out of the shower and it would dry off completely straight! But it did take foreverrrrr during the process!! It took like 3 or 4 hours!
:o 4 hours... Kudos to you!
3 hours is actually quick :)

I got the Japanese straightening perm after a ton of online research and watching Rachel's video. Best decision ever, and such value for cost because it's truly permanent.
S K I did my whole head originally for 150USD. Then moved to an expensive city and now do the roots touchup for just under 200USD (many places include the haircut). That’s on the cheaper end for a large city outside of Asia. I’ve done it at both Japanese and Korean salons. Wasn’t difficult to find, but during the consultation it’s good to ask how long they’ve been doing the treatment. Best to find someone experienced.
@C.O. I haven't noticed any damage and my hair has not lost any luster. However, the perm does make your hair less able to hold moisture so to avoid damage over time I started some new habits: Deep condition once a week, use conditioner when I wash and a hair oil after. I also use a wooden wide-tooth comb instead of a brush; there's not much to style when you have pin straight hair and combs in general are more gentle.
I've been tempted to. My hair is naturally straight but I think it would help with looking more sleek and add some shine now that it's so long. I don't know if they do it in the US though..
can you still curl your hair?

As someone who has naturally wavy hair, damaging it to get the japanese straightening treatment would be worth it to have straight hair. I would love to be able to let it air dry with the confidence of knowing it would still look good, plus when I put it up in a bun or ponytail, all the frizzy baby hairs poke out, it’s annoying!! Especially since gels and hairsprays irritate my sensitive scalp 😩
Yep! Imagine getting caught in the rain, going swimming, or being in a humid environment. Your hair will never look shit!! Somehow my hair looks worse when it got rained on, and the frizz went everywhere...
Exactly I absolutely hate my wavy hair, yeah curly hair is beautiful but mine just isn’t its a frizzy mess and I hate it

i’ve been wanting to for the longest time but i’m taking this as a sign i’m sure once mine grows out i’ll love it❤️
@@lorianne2615 I got my hair straightened (I have no idea what exactly my hair type because my hairs kind of damaged, its probably 2b-3a range) with a keratin treatment a few years ago and it lasted 6 months. I had longer hair (middle of my back) and brushed it constantly so it was a frizzy and fluffy mess. After the treatment started growing out I got my hair cut to a bob and started caring properly for my curly hair and I honestly am so happy I found out that I like my curly hair, but I doubt I would've without getting the treatment. If you think you'd like it I'd go for it, you can always go back in a few monthsm
Erin McNeill thank you i’m still considering
I'm 14, and I really hope I can get this done when I'm 18, because I hate my wavy hair with a burning passion.

The people at the hair salon said that they use a treatment first to break the bonds in the hair that decide the frizz or curl of the hair. Then they straighten it to create the permanent straightness. Finally they add a treatment to reseal the bonds.
They uses a product to change the bonds, they rinse brush and iron and they finalize with the Neutralizer, to stop the chemical reaction of the first product.
I actually got my hair chemically straightened in Japan 9 months ago and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. My hair is dyed blonde but the hairdresser used a pretty new straightening cream and Olaplex and the breakage was really minimal. Before that, I would frequently straighten my hair or put it in a bun because I didn’t like the way it looked loose (think Hagrid). Since getting it permanently straightened, I always wear it open, which makes me feel more beautiful than having it in a bun and is healthier for my hair, and only straighten my roots very occasionally. My hair is longer and healthier looking than previously, my ends stay straight longer after getting cut (ie fewer split ends) and I don’t have to go through the process of straightening. On top of that I feel more beautiful. Fellow Hagrid-hair ladies - find a good hairdresser and go for it!
Do you know the brand of the straightening cream that your stylist used?
Yoli W don’t remember, sorry. Got it done at Assort Tokyo, if that helps (as I think they’re a global chain).
Would this perm work if my hair is poofy and curly, and has a lot of split ends already? Like, would it damage my hair more or not? I'm thinking of trying it out but I need advice ;-;
222_ Chan 222_ Chan My hair is naturally also poofy and curly so that’s not a problem. The process may damage your hair a little: it involves chemicals that change the structure of your hair so it’s to be reckoned with. However, updated treatments combined with Olaplex (or an alternative) make it far less damaging than it might have been just a few years ago. The damage and hair loss was really minimal for me. Also, if you regularly straighten your hair anyway than this might be a less damaging solution overall. Regarding split ends: I’d recommend cutting them before undergoing treatment. Do some research and find a good salon. Any professional hairdresser will not even do the treatment on you if they think it will cause too much damage.
@@QueenBlond Thank you for telling me!
I have 80s kinky hair naturally. Not wavy, not curly, just somewhere in between. I had the Japanese straightener done (in San Diego) because I was going to be in (very humid) Hong Kong for 3 months & was worried about having styling tools that were compatible with their plugs. At the time I had been getting Henna coloring by Aveda for a few years.
The treatment took 6 hours and cost me $400. Zero damage despite not having virgin hair.
THE BEST DECISION EVER!!! I could blow dry my hair with a vent brush and it would be straight and good to go. I could also still set my hair in rollers and it would hold the curl. No issues even in extreme humidity. It was insanely convenient! I actually loved when my roots started coming in, at about 3 months, because I had a little more volume at the top. I never had an awkward grow in period. I'm shocked that Brad's not a fan but I sure as heck am! Highly recommend!
Actually it's a pretty common hair treatment in Asia because the weather is very humid and my hair is super thick and frizzy. I've done straightening treatment once a year for 15 years starting from rebonding, smoothening to keratin. I love it, always sleek and shiny.
Doesn't damage your hair too much? I've been wanting to straight my hair with keratin, but I'm afraid if it will damage my hair too much
@@constanzarojas1901 I've been getting this Japanese rebonding for the past 13 years and I don't have much split ends. I'm pretty sure we have different technology here in Asia.
Stephanie it doesn’t damage your hair?
@@bunnybaby975 Nope, but then again I'm East Asian. I probably have more resilient hair.
Bunny Baby asian hair is pretty well known for being able to take abuse so-
I got my hair permanently straightened for around 5 years (the roots touch-ups were terrible btw) and only recently have I realized I shouldnt damage my natural curly hair and spend a lot of money to look like everyone else
Yes it was convenient to wake up and look bomb without dealing with the curliness but tbh I love my hair now.
I’ve had curly hair my whole life and I’m proud of my curls but I HATE dealing with them 😔
Tbh it takes us so long to take care of it because we didn’t grow up learning how. It’s that we have to learn a whole new curly/wavy methodology when we decide to go natural, because straight hair is for some reason the “norm” and things like dry brushing, regular use of silicones are just part of life for us. I spent so much of my 23 years straightening it, and the more of us that do that, the less well known curly methods will be for others like us. I’m so glad I stopped damaging my hair while I’m still young! Good luck to you!
Good for you.
Yes I have same experience my hair grows really fast that I need to touch up every 3 months. Finally sticking with my natural texture.
I did that aswell 3 years ago because i didn't know how to style my curly hair... Now I do amd I'm happy with them❤️

I got my hair Japanese straightened for the first time last year, after watching Rachel and finding a salon in London. I get a touch up done once a year, it’s the best thing I have ever done for my hair. Surprisingly I get very little damage compared to when I used to colour it.
FYI Rachel also did a 1 year later catch up when she got hers redone.
Great Video!

Hey NadyuLife, I got mine done at a hair salon in Camden it’s called Jeju. Had mine done twice now at the same place and I don’t even bother of looking for anywhere else, they were nice there and talked me through everything. If you search the salon on UA-cam there’s a review.
Pix. Lisa thanks so much Lisa! I’ll check them out! I appreciate your help xx
In my country its jst called permanent straightening, today is the first time i ever heard that its called japenese treatment. So i think any permanent straighting is the same. Its jst the number of times they apply the product that changes.
omg i literally had no idea they were in the uk!!!!! thank u !
In love with Rachel and Jun and their cats 😂
This is a very common treatment here in the Philippines, humidity is all time high in here all year round and frizz is always the enemy for many of us. Most Filipinos have wavy hair and it's harder to manage in this weather especially when you have thick hair. Also, Asian countries is not curly/wavy hair product or salon friendly, you can rarely find a salon that specializes in curly hair in the Philippines or products that is specifically for curly/wavy type, it costs atleast 3x as much to have it shipped from the US. It's more of a cultural thing too, pin straight black hair is something deemed as a standard of beauty in most Asian countries.
Truth ^ Like everyone in East and Southeast Asia have this chemical hair straightening done and there's no issues with it. It's only in America where they have this problem with it. They make it sound like all their hair is going to fall out and are going to die.

Also MIKAN MIKAN MIKAN MIKAN!!!
Was anyone else annoyed that he didn’t turn on the subtitles for Rachel’s video? They explained the process of the straightening in detail but it was in Japanese.
Why would you be annoyed at something that Brad doesn't know? Chill Iol
Lorana __ Idk, it just bothered me since I watch the channel a lot and there was a lot of good information in there.
Yeah me too
My mother is a hairdresser who trained in permanent hair straightening and rebonding about 20 years ago, there are different Japanese brands and knockoff brands that can obviously have different effects on hair, and especially if not done by a trained professional can result in hair being severely damaged. BUT as long as someone qualified is treating your hair and using legit and professional brands, such as Paimore, the perm will turn out fine and in some cases even improve the quality of the hair! Just feel like Brad might be slightly ill informed, probably based on his own experience so definitely not trying to slate or question his knowledge, but just letting people know you shouldn’t be afraid of getting it done if you’re considering consulting with a hairdresser (who will determine whether or not your hair is suitable for the chemical) and with a proper rebonding business!
That's how I felt. Like he just held a biased opinion without actually talking to someone that specializes in the process.
@@iheartanime1011 no he's right. It DOES damage your hair. But just that heat, putting hair up all the time, bleaching and dying does the exact same thing. People still do it anyway. And it's just hair, it grows back too so do whatever you want.
As I said before, and I’m only saying this because I’ve grown up with someone who does this treatment as a full time job, it is a strong chemical that can leave the hair damaged. For fine, bleached hair or hair full of silicone this is the case. But since this treatment chemically changes the ph balance of the hair, for strong, coarse, untreated hair it can do absolute wonders in terms of texture, glossiness and moisture. It also makes your hair feel weightless and it dries in half the time. But yeah as you said, people bleach, colour, use heat and products that equally ruin the hair and a lot of people don’t mind having their hair a little drier than normal if it means not having to straighten it every single day. Just wish Brad would maybe see the results of people who really love the perm, just disappoints me a tiny bit because I know literally hundreds of people who do

Not always positive"

Whenthestarssettle Don’t get me wrong, i love my natural curl pattern. I just don’t have TIME. It takes so much work for 4c hair to look cute. Straightening my hair is a win-win. It’s so much easier to maintain, and i look cute. And thanks btw!
😂😂😂😂
I was waiting for this comment
MO!!!!!!! Reminder:your hair is always cute
@@paige4855 right. straight hair does not make it cute. We have to accept type 4 hair in it's natural state
@Whenthestarssettle It's a pain to deal with. I hate it lol. Y'all can get mad but my hair looks better straight instead of in it's natural 4C state. So shoot me 🤷🏿♀️
I've gotten the straightening treatment done twice now, it does make your hair more manageable. It just makes it very convenient especially if you have frizzy hair or tend to straighten your hair daily!
Who else came here after seeing Rachel on the thumbnail?🖐🏻😽
Here
Me
Rachel and Jun! Yess! XD
Yup
Pretty Paws me!!
Brad should react to Rachel and Jun's cats' hair, they are gorgeous gingers too! (Except poki, he's black and white shorthair lol)
Long live Cap'n Poki!😁
Owen Greene 😭😭😭 I love when he takes his 1 ginger cats on walks.
YESSSS
I was in japan over the summer and it was ridiculously humid so it makes sense why people would want to do this. My hair was a giant frizzball the whole time I was there
rachel said she really liked the treatment because in the US her hair was pretty straight all the time and then she moved to Japan where it was more humid and it became frizzier and wavier than she was used to so the treatments seem to work really well with her natural hair type anyway! :)
I actually got my hair permanentley straightened and my hair was so soft, and didn't get any damage, even if it air dried it was straight. The roots didn't bother me until they were long.
Monicatt yep same here!
Same :D
same!! :)
1st video: "I've been told to never air dry my hair"... Me: remembers watching Rachel's video like a year ago... Which we watch her let her hair air dry in.... sooo
I thought she meant you shouldn't let it air dry during the treatment because it wouldn't work...
@@TheEdgyEquine yeah i was thinking it was mostly something like that which got lost in translation
@@floriansis400 not only that but my head is super sensitive to heat now more than ever. Once a blow dryer comes near me, I can feel my scalp wanting to melt
This is giving me the equivalent feeling of watching a crossover episode.
My hair grows so fast it would literally be a waste of money to pay for having it straightened. Sometimes I wish I had 'calmer' hair, but on the other hand, my hair is almost undestructible, so I've learned to embrace it and love it XD
first girl: pointing to her wavy her and calling it a mess
me: laughing in 4c
miniimufin is dont have 4c hair but like 3b an i can relate
I prefer c3/c4 to wavy ! At least you can do something to wear it naturally but anything with wavy will be a MESSSSSS
Giggles in 4A/B
@@shoshog4647 not true really. Just like how you can do braid outs and rod sets on type 3 and 4, you van use those on wavy hair too. Wavy hair should hold an artificial curl so much better than straight hair. It just seems to be a theme with them just wearing it as is and having unsatisfactory feelings, especially when not using correct products.
Me: cries but laughs in permanet straighten C4 hair ....
I'm a simple girl, I see Rachel and Brad and I click.
the straight hair actually looks straight out of a Pantene ad
Coming from someone who did the keratin hair treatment this is my honest opinion! I used to straighten my hair every other two or three days but during the summer, it was like once a day or every other day only if I can keep it not so greasy and dirty 😢 Once I did keratin my hair started looking so beautiful, not dead burn and damage. My hair grew out so much!!! I went from straightening my hair multiple times a month to only once every six months. Yes the temperature is high 450° is crazy for your hair, but it’s only one time every six months compared to constantly straightening on low temp taking forever, wasting money on heat protectant treatments that don’t really do much I still get split ends and damaged Hair, I’d say it’s worth the salon visit. Straightening my hair more than once a week was more maintenance than this treatment. Likeeee ima keep doing keratin straightening treatment till I can’t anymore. And with working a full time job running a business and about to start school again it saves so much time 😊 so yes definitely worth it in my opinion!
It took me 27 years to know perm was short for permanent 🤦🏽♀️
🤯
My Sister’s Keeper wait isn’t perm also like a hairstyle-
男の子操作的な yep.
And prom is short for promenade
your comment has 27 likes lmao.
Rachel and Jun AND Brad Mondo this is my extra crossover I've been waiting for
the second layer after they straightened it is the neutralizer! I've gotten my hair Japanese straightened for about 7 years, but since I recently decided to get full highlights I don't believe I will be continuing it. It did not ruin my hair though, and it did not make it perfectly straight.
What does the neutralizer do?
@@irenekay7934 It reforms the hair in the straight layer. The first product breaks it down so it can be permanently changed, the second layer locks it in.
@@irenekay7934 basically stops the first step of breaking down the bonds in the hair. If you don't use it your hair will pretty much fall apart and you can get pretty severe chemical burns on your scalp.
i got it done in germany, theres only one whos doing it (as far as i know..) and i LOVED the outcome. i have very fine hair, not damaged and it was still healthy a year after that.
after the treatment it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO soft, silky, shiny, absolutely perfect. and it stays like that.
the roots are the problem, but with my hair i can live with it for a year or even more without going to the hairdresser.
i would do it again and again and again and again. :D
Me: watching this with straight hair..... "Grass is always greener people."
And OMG his shirt, are these customs cause MUST HAVE!!!!
Everyone always wants the opposite of what they have 😂
Straight hair are healthier - curles need special treatment because they are extremely dry. +If you don't care about them properly, they will not look good...
That's why i don't want them :)
Im interested in hair, but English is not my first language, so I can't use proffesional terminology unfortunately, but there is a lot of problems with curly hair.
@@leena75 I also have always had very curly hair. I did not take care of my hair when I was a growing up and now my hair is very damaged. I used to straighten my hair every day... so now it's very dry and wavy/straight. A mess... ;(
@@Ana-lk4mq not always true, my mom and I both have naturally straight hair and love having it. I don't want curly hair (I did curl my hair a couple times in middle school and I did like it but I prefer having straight hair)
Ohmygod ! RACHEL !!! She’s the sweetest human ever I love her and Jun soooo much !!!
who's that sailor moon character in your dp?
He looks like he’s from a boyband in the 99’s😭
Tought the same first time I saw his video. Thats why I clicked it and now I love him 😂
misfits unite I WANT IT THAT WAY
TELL ME WHY
AINT NOTHING BUT A HEART BREAK
As a Brazilian I’m really curious about what the hell is a “Brazilian blowout” or “Brazilian keratin” 😂😂
Eu também kkk
Well it is some kind of sheep fat in my case and it should avoid yout hair from getting frizzy and it said it would straighten it. Mine was a total clickbait and the hairdresser just tried it anyway (in this country not many have curls). It ended with my hair beeing smooth and straight the first two days, not straight straight but still some waves... and then... my hair went downhill real bad...
Brazilian blowout é a nossa chamada progressiva
@@IzaHBeeL Na verdade não! A nossa progressiva é o tratamento japonês, por incrível que pareça. Os nomes são trocados! O Brazilian Blowout é aquele método onde alisa com queratina... às vezes chamam de escova de queratina. :) Espero que ajude!
esse tratamento japones é à base de tioglicolato de amonia, é definitiva, o brazilians blowout é tipo uma progressiva
