I have type four Japanese straightened hair. In the past i stretched my relaxers, so its not a issue for me. My hair looks and feels healthier than it did when i was relaxing. I do not use heat on my hair besides when i get the treatment. I bun and wear half wigs at the 5m mark.
Thank you for sharing your maintenance tip. I found it very useful and I believe people with 4 type hair will find it as well. I want all hair types to be able to enjoy JHS and Information like this, help grow my brand. I appreciate it 🥰
Lol, I already did this by myself and followed the steps precisely. My hair is 4c and turned out beautiful! But I know I was either going to send my hair to heaven or hell doing it alone. So this advice is very much appreciated 😂
I like that line, "sending it to heaven or hell." LOL. Thanks, much needed in a day and age like this where the world is crazy and we need something to laugh at. 😆
I have very fine hair, I'm a type 2A I'd say, it's straight but wavy. I've never heard anyone talk about straight hair having friz, or the amount of shed! This explained so much to me, because I was actually really worried for a while about the amount of hair it felt like I was shedding, and I hadn't changed anything in my life.
I was sooo sick of messing with my curly hair I decided to have dreadlocks. Now 15 years later they are below my butt and I’ve been so hesitant to cut them because I hate going back to the frizz and products. I see this, maybe it’s time to cut them and brush them out! ❤️🤷🏻♀️
I currently am 13 months post my first and only JHS treatment. I have type 3c/4a mixed hair type, and now I have between 7-8 inches of new growth, but I'm constantly wearing braids/twists and my hair is under a scarf so I can get away with it. I haven't used any flat iron on my hair since I got it done, but I have used blow dryers maybe once a month. I watched this to try and decide if I wanted to get another treatment, or if i should just grow my hair out and transition back to natural (which is how my hair was my entire life before my first treatment).
If you’re undecided, just write down the pros and cons of both; Natural vs. JHS. Consider what’s makes your life easier at least this point in your life.
Idk if it's right but i put oils not only in my ends but also in my scalp (just a little) when the hair is clean and wet. Do the same with conditioner when washing it amd onoy wash it when it's greasy
It is said that Japanese hair straightening makes your hair bone-straight . My question is if it’s possible to do the Japanese hair straightening but with one small wave in it ( my hair is about 15 cm long, I’m a boy) Greetings and great video 👍🏼
Osu Iro Greetings and thank you. The straightness of JHS depends on the technique and desire end results of the client. It doesn’t have to be bone straight. Also I would need at least 3 inches of hair, to be able to do the JHS on a potential guest.
OK, I loved how informative both of your videos were on Japanese Hair Straightening, but you just broke my heart when you said you do not recommend Japanese Hair Straightening on type 4c hair ☹ I did get it done and had my first retouch in February. I do love the Japanese Hair Straightening much more than when I was relaxed, it feels and looks, so much healthier, but as you mentioned, the issue with JHS is dealing with type 4c new growth, especially between months 3-6 and maintenance until my next retouch. I would like to understand for my type of hair, how often do you recommend washing and conditioning my hair; how often do you recommend deep conditioning (should it be weekly, biweekly, or monthly but I have been told to avoid deep conditioning too much because of protein???). Are oil treatments good for Japanese Straightening? My type of hair is difficult to just air dry and go, so I have to use a flat iron on the roots. If I wash every week and follow up with blow-drying and flat-ironing will it be too damaging? How often can you flat iron new growth, or should I avoid flat ironing altogether, what is the proper temperature difference between JHS vs my newgrowth and how many passes with the iron? I sometimes rollerset my hair and then go over the new growth-only, I love the rollerset then I follow-up with flat-ironing the new growth only, but rollersetting then flat-ironing is so time-consuming, especially by months 3-6. What would you recommend? Thanks!
I’m glad you found my videos informative, that makes me happy. I’m not in the business of breaking hearts, so I will make a video answering your questions, the best way I can. 🙂
2b and 2c. I damaged my hair so much due to constantly changing colors. I got a big under shave to get the dead stuff off and now it curls better and doesn’t matte
I live in Germany and have 4C hair. I’d love to get the process done, no matter how frequently I’d need to visit. It’s just that I haven’t seen it offered for my texture hair. Any advice? Would be so happy if you opened a salon here, lol.
Wow. I'm a type 3 dark/brown/ black hair color....but thanks you're super educated! It's true, I've seen type 1 hair frizz and tangle like crazy,, even fine baby blonde hair on a little girl that kept getting crunchy in the desert. The more the mom kept spritzing a detangler in the kid's hair, the more crunchy it got and hence..made brushing time just awful for her.
I really want to get this done, but my type 4 hair is very fine so I'm worried about how long it should process and things like damage. Great info, thank you!
Fantastic video! Could you clarify something for me? Can you have x inches of relaxed hair, but do the JHS on y inches of new growth? Or must you cut off the relaxed hair completely before a stylist will do the JHS?
Wonderful video, thank you so much! I have 3A, 3B hair but it's extremely fine. Even though I don't see any bald spots, I have very little hair. I can use the smallest barrettes to hold all my hair up, that's how fine and meek it is. I have always wanted more volume and resorted to different extensions, none have worked. Weaves and braids slipped right off within a few days. Tape extensions that were much lighter in weight and blended better destroyed the little hair I had within a few months. I tried bond extensions, also ruined my hair. Over a decade ago I did the Brazilian blowout on a regular basis for about 2 years. At the time I was only worried about controlling my frizz. That was very effective however I didn't like the smell. I still continued doing it though. Those chemical smells stayed in my hair for weeks even after multiple washes. Does JHS treatment smell similar and as strong as the BBO? Also it was then that I became painfully aware of how fine and meek my hair was. Getting all the volume out really did me no justice but the hair was shiny and silky. Nowadays in my 40s I think I know better. I have not done anything to my hair in the last 4 years, no color, no chemical treatments, no extensions of any sort, even clip on extensions I avoid because they are too heavy. Yet, all of the sudden the urge to get my hair permanently straightened kicked in. I just want an easy hair routine. It takes so long to get my hair to look less bad. Watching all these videos has helped me realize this is not the route for me. Something I never see mentioned is the quantity and fineness of hair as a key factor on whether to undergo these treatments. Even the professional salon I used to go, did not seem to take this into consideration. It was only after the fact that I questioned, why am I not happy with my super straight silky hair? The answer, because it looks like a have some sort of medical condition that has completely thinned out my hair. Think lord of the rings Golum with a slight upgrade. Still, Golum is not who you want to think of when looking at yourself. I think these are wonderful treatments for those with thick abundant hair. Those of us who are the complete opposite, IDK 🤷♀️. Nothing seems to work for me. Perhaps a wig but the ones I have bought and tried on all looked awful and terribly fake. Love 518, I didn't catch your name at the very beginning, but what would you suggest for individuals with my hair issue? Extremely fine and very little. Are there any sort of frizz treatments suited for my type of hair. It looks like my hair is very damaged but truth is, I have been taking pretty good care of it. This is just the way it is, very fine, tendency to be overly dry and breaks easily. I have no health condition causing it to be this way. It's been this way my whole life. Growing up I was often told I should take some pride and take care of myself, referring to the looks of my frizzy hair. I did what I could not knowing much as the only one with curly frizzy hair in my family. Now I'm old enough to know better and those folks were simply ignorant and even toxic. I don't do drugs, rarely drink and don't have a health condition. I was simply born this way. I have a pretty decent diet, a lot of good fats and legumes that are key to good health, skin, hair and nails. Yet, those 3 especially my hair and nails are extremely weak. I rarely if ever blow dry my hair or use any sort of heat tool. My hair dries pretty quick on it's own because it's so fine. Ironing it is too much of a hassle for me and I never like the results the few times I have done it myself. I've had the salon do a blow dry for events to give it some volume. They use a lot of hair spray to keep it from falling apart immediately. However, after 2 hours my blowout is pretty much gone despite the horrible amounts of hairspray applied. Too much work to do that on my own too. Therefore, I don't have any heat damage to my hair because it's been years since I've gone to the salon for a blow dry hair do.
Thank you ! That would be so helpful. Thanks for making this one. Do you happen to know of any go places that perform this service in Chicago ? Happy belated 4th :)
AAKim my pleasure. I’m not sure of any location in Chicago, you would have to google it. I have guests that live out of state or country, that travel once or twice a year to receive the JHS from me.
Years ago I used to do chemical relaxers on my hair. I have 3c. It always felt like it left my hair feeling almost more corse. It felt almost unnatural and chemical whereas my hair feels softer when curly. Does the same thing happen with Japanese straightening?
Great video, thank you so much! Can I do a relaxer if I have the Japanese straightening? Japanese straightening hasn’t been working as well as before :(
Hi, I have a mixture of 3a and 3b very fine hair. Is it possible to get the JHS where my hair has body to it? Like I do want it straightened but I don't want it flat to my head. Would the stylist have like extra large curlers or something? Would my hair have to be cut in layers (currently wl)? I wanna kno how you would do it haha. Thanks for the video and response when you are able to.
🥲 I'm the girl that did myself. It was great at first but half of my hair broke off while the other thrived. Had to go bald. I've been growing it out for a little over a year and I am ready to get it done by a PROFESSIONAL.
My hair is wavy and thick but very frizzy. I also have highlights that were professionally done in a salon but there’s a little bit of highlights I did at home underneath. It’s minimal but I wanted to include that…do you think I would be ok to use the Japanese hair straightening system?
See i stretched my relaxers way out anyway so I know how to deal with both textures. I just bun when it gets out if hand. Im natural type 4. But yeah if you want to be a "fly girl" all the time, not recommended.
Hello, I am a long hair Japanese American guy, and according to my hairstylist, I have 1B-type hair. I'm looking to get a j-Straight elsewhere because my stylist does not do this. My question is, because of COVID, I haven't cut my hair, so my split ends are aplenty. Another issue I have is that I'm going gray too. Can I get my hair dyed Black the same day as my straightening or should I wait like a month after to dye my hair?
Thank you so much for this explanation. I have one question. I have bleached ends (ombre)...but I would so love to have this process done to save time on styling. Do I have to grow out my ombre before I have it done? What happens to the bleached hair if it doesn it doesn't take the JHS? Does it break off at the place where the bleaching begins? I am thinking about just doing it and just accepting that I might only loose some length where the bleach is....I'm just so torn!🤣😇
Hi, I noticed we're late-comers to this site, meaning we're less likely to get a response. I posted my questions under other pp's answers in hope it has a better chance of being seen. Anyway, I'll answer from a personal experience with Japanese straightening that I last had done 7 years ago...all of that is cut off and regrown by now. I'm a dark-brown (almost black) fine, frizzy type 3 and I used to dye my black hair to a medium brown. So...the darker parts of my hair always looked MUCH better with the straightener in it compared to the lighter parts by far. Lightened + straightened hair usually looks fried. While those parts of my hair didn't fall off, it just didn't look like quality straightened hair. So, perhaps you can flat iron the lightened parts of your hair (on a low temperature) and only have straightened the parts with little to no color in it. Coconut milk is also a great way to smoothen bleached or lightened hair. Hope this helps...
Can you get JHS after a Cezanne (keratin treatment)? And does it help with frizz? My hair is mostly straight, but I have a ton of it, and it gets so frizzy after I wash it, so I am mostly looking for something that will allow me to wash my hair and be able to go out in public with it the same day.
I have type 4A hair (mostly) with a little bit of 3C. More importantly, I have fine/delicate hair and low density 😩 could I potentially be a candidate? is there a way to do JHS without having it bone straight?
I’ve relaxed my hair a couple months ago. Does that mean I cant do a Japanese straighten even though its been 2 months because my hair has been relaxed even once?
I wanna do something more permanent. I’ve relaxed it before, each a couple months apart, but each time it the relaxer lasts less and less. Even to the point to where after washing it just a couple times the week after I relaxed it, the hair is significantly less relaxed.
AAKim I heard Olaplex is good and most JHS companies have their own shampoo and conditioner. I’m also doing some research on other products, once I find the companies I can fully support; I’ll make a video.
Does anyone have any opinions about using K18 after the treatment cream washout before the first flat ironing or after the first flat ironing, unlike Olaplex which affects the disulfide bonds, k18 supposedly inserts a small peptide into the hair strand and I was wondering if the weakening of the disulfide bonds that occurs after application of the first solution would make the hair take up the k18 better? Also, any thoughts about using the bioionic hair straightener on the vibration mode for the flat ironing?
JHS is permanent. However once the new growth hair grows about minimum 3 inches, a JHS retouch would be done (Every 3 -9 months depending on the hair type). Keratin is temporarily and last up to 3-4 months.
I have 2b / 2a hair type and its very frizzy but i have been straightening it 1 or 2 a week for the past 2 and a half years could i still do it or is it too damaged?
If I had a lightening service done 8 months ago would I still be disqualified for a jhs? The salon said if it was in the last three years, my hair would be frizzy. I have type 3 hair
I got my hair done last Friday. How long should I be waiting to put my hair up? I’ve already washed my hair a few times but I’m nervous that it could still change
My hair is a mixture of 3b and 3c, I bleached the ends my hair months ago with the garnier hair dye stuff( I forgot what it's called but I got it from Walmart) since it's been almost a year can I still get this done to my hair?
whatever you do, don’t go to hottie salon. I went there and they under processed my hair so they offered to redo it for free and then ended up over processing my hair. My hair was so damaged. 😭 I just did my new growth the other day, did it my self this time, and it came out wayyyy better than when i got it done at Hottie salon .
That's my fear.. like, I love my curls, but they can be a pain in my butt... This treatment is probably the biggest gamble with high risk/high reward that humanity has ever made lol
In the end I feel like it is a good idea if you really struggle with your hair and normally straighten it. Plus think about it this way, your hair will grow back with your texture from before and sense hair normally grows and inch a month you'll have collar bone length hair that is back to your original texture in about a year. And even though this seems like a long time you won't even really have to deal with your hair during it because it'll be straight (less maintenance.) But this is just my opinion.
I REALLY want to have it but I'm scared to go to the Japanese salon bc I don't know if they can deal with my 4b hair Most salons say they can do whatever I ask them to do and screw it up at the end Will they be able to handle my 4b hair? Also at the start of June I've had a messed up relaxer by a barber that said he could he could do it My hair is not completely curly again Some are still kinda idk weird? Not really curly Do I have to cut it off or can I just wait until it gets curly again?
Hi, I just did a client that has 4b hair on my Instagram @love518salon you should check it out. Also JHS and a relaxer are not compatible, so you’ll have to wait until the relaxer grows out at least 3-6 inches to do a JHS on the new growth hair.
U said Japanese hair straighten is more frequent like 4-6 months and relaxers only must be done every 2-3 months. Lol sounds like yu trynna sell your services using relaxers... 🤣
I’m Dominican w curly hair. I’m tired of going to the hair salon to get it straighten. If anyone in NYC w curl pattern like 3B & got Japanese straightened let me kno where you went. Thanks
I have type four Japanese straightened hair. In the past i stretched my relaxers, so its not a issue for me. My hair looks and feels healthier than it did when i was relaxing. I do not use heat on my hair besides when i get the treatment. I bun and wear half wigs at the 5m mark.
Thank you for sharing your maintenance tip. I found it very useful and I believe people with 4 type hair will find it as well. I want all hair types to be able to enjoy JHS and Information like this, help grow my brand. I appreciate it 🥰
No problem, definitely a great treatment for type 4 girls.
Do you braid your hair under your wigs or do a ponytail?
Lol, I already did this by myself and followed the steps precisely. My hair is 4c and turned out beautiful! But I know I was either going to send my hair to heaven or hell doing it alone. So this advice is very much appreciated 😂
What brand did you use
I like that line, "sending it to heaven or hell." LOL. Thanks, much needed in a day and age like this where the world is crazy and we need something to laugh at. 😆
I know very well the prayers she did before pulling the trigger. Ive done JHS at home too.
😂
I get Japanese hair straightening. 3 years strong. I love it
Would love to see a video on the DO & DONTS of a Keratin. This video was very informative.
Also some examples of what you mean by a protective hair style, please
Only few people who can have a short hair like yours and still
Look very pretty 🤩, you’re one of those lucky ones 😘
I have very fine hair, I'm a type 2A I'd say, it's straight but wavy. I've never heard anyone talk about straight hair having friz, or the amount of shed!

9:35 WORD
PEOPLE would absolutely guilt me for not wearing my natural texture hair but hell they're not the ones doing the work and putting the money!
I was sooo sick of messing with my curly hair I decided to have dreadlocks. Now 15 years later they are below my butt and I’ve been so hesitant to cut them because I hate going back to the frizz and products. I see this, maybe it’s time to cut them and brush them out! ❤️🤷🏻♀️

@@love518salon thank you! That's a great idea 📝🙌🏽
Yayy i feel so seen🥰 thank you for answering my question. Any recommendation for a person with a dry scalp?
My pleasure. Is it dry with or without dandruff?
I believe its flaking because of the dry scalp. i notice how quickly it gets dry after a simple rinse.
lowa carso Gary I’m working with some companies and testing their products, once I compare the qualities I will let you know.
Idk if it's right but i put oils not only in my ends but also in my scalp (just a little) when the hair is clean and wet. Do the same with conditioner when washing it amd onoy wash it when it's greasy
My hair it's just wavy tho, i don't know if that matters on the scalp
It is said that Japanese hair straightening makes your hair bone-straight .
My question is if it’s possible to do the Japanese hair straightening but with one small wave in it ( my hair is about 15 cm long, I’m a boy)

@@love518salon Yes, please 👍🏾😊
please make another video answering these questions !😭
2b and 2c. I damaged my hair so much due to constantly changing colors. I got a big under shave to get the dead stuff off and now it curls better and doesn’t matte
The way I did it myself and it’s pretty good. There a little breakage in the front that isn’t too noticeable but healthy overall
I live in Germany and have 4C hair. I’d love to get the process done, no matter how frequently I’d need to visit. It’s just that I haven’t seen it offered for my texture hair. Any advice? Would be so happy if you opened a salon here, lol.
look up @hairbynoella on ig , she’s not in germany but she is in London.
i’m sure there are other stylists in germany who offer it
People don't get it done that often partly because it's SO expensive!

Yes! More videos, please! :0)
Definitely 🥰
Very informative from a beautiful woman. Wearing a beautiful, blouse.🌹
Thank you for this.
sheila grayman thank you 🥰
I agree :-)
I have 4b hair and it’s pretty damaged because of the relaxer.
Great video! I have a type 1B fine hair, trying to figure out if its worth it for me, I have flyaways and split ends/some frizz
Just get a brazillian blowout. It’s way gentler on your hair, cheaper, and gets rid of frizz and flyaways specifically.
I have 4c hair type
My question is, if I what to do this treatment, do you recommend me to do the normal or the strong one?
I just got this done about a week ago and got some pool water on my hair . I didn’t wash it out till the next morning is this ok ?
Can you rebond into permanent curls instead of just straight with JHS?? Like set on rollers then neutralize??
that’s called gina curl
mine 4c
Thank you ! That would be so helpful. Thanks for making this one. Do you happen to know of any go places that perform this service in Chicago ? Happy belated 4th :)
AAKim my pleasure. I’m not sure of any location in Chicago, you would have to google it. I have guests that live out of state or country, that travel once or twice a year to receive the JHS from me.
what remedy to straight for my kinky hair
Ok I think you've convinced me to not do this on myself, thank youu
Jessica Carbajal you’re welcome! Yes, please go to a professional, to get it done.
Years ago I used to do chemical relaxers on my hair. I have 3c. It always felt like it left my hair feeling almost more corse. It felt almost unnatural and chemical whereas my hair feels softer when curly. Does the same thing happen with Japanese straightening?
Great video, thank you so much! Can I do a relaxer if I have the Japanese straightening? Japanese straightening hasn’t been working as well as before :(
So what happens if your hair type is literally all. Like it can be very very curly or loosely curled or wavy
Thank you so much
Does it have formaldehyde?
Aww I was about to do it at home:/ it’s either at home or not at all for me😭 I don’t see a way out of this curly hair mess
If i have a demi black dye how long do i need to wait to get Japanese straighting ?Thanks in advance
How many times you need to go for a touchup
3-9 months depending on the hair type.
I know I am late but can I get this together with highlift? I use professional highlift color with 30volume...
Hi, I have a mixture of 3a and 3b very fine hair. Is it possible to get the JHS where my hair has body to it? Like I do want it straightened but I don't want it flat to my head. Would the stylist have like extra large curlers or something? Would my hair have to be cut in layers (currently wl)? I wanna kno how you would do it haha. Thanks for the video and response when you are able to.
It all depends on how straight you would like it. There’s different techniques that can be done with JHS, to achieve your desired goal.
🥲 I'm the girl that did myself. It was great at first but half of my hair broke off while the other thrived. Had to go bald. I've been growing it out for a little over a year and I am ready to get it done by a PROFESSIONAL.
My hair is wavy and thick but very frizzy. I also have highlights that were professionally done in a salon but there’s a little bit of highlights I did at home underneath. It’s minimal but I wanted to include that…do you think I would be ok to use the Japanese hair straightening system?
What chemical is in the Japanese hair straighteners?
See i stretched my relaxers way out anyway so I know how to deal with both textures. I just bun when it gets out if hand. Im natural type 4. But yeah if you want to be a "fly girl" all the time, not recommended.
What about keratin ? How long do you have to wait b4 using henna coloring after treatment?
I have a mixture of 4a and 4c
can you do this with bleached highlights?
Hello, I am a long hair Japanese American guy, and according to my hairstylist, I have 1B-type hair. I'm looking to get a j-Straight elsewhere because my stylist does not do this. My question is, because of COVID, I haven't cut my hair, so my split ends are aplenty. Another issue I have is that I'm going gray too. Can I get my hair dyed Black the same day as my straightening or should I wait like a month after to dye my hair?
It’s recommended by the company I use to color your hair 2 weeks before or after a JHS.
@@love518salon Thank you for the response.
Thank you so much for this explanation. I have one question. I have bleached ends (ombre)...but I would so love to have this process done to save time on styling. Do I have to grow out my ombre before I have it done? What happens to the bleached hair if it doesn it doesn't take the JHS? Does it break off at the place where the bleaching begins? I am thinking about just doing it and just accepting that I might only loose some length where the bleach is....I'm just so torn!🤣😇
Hi, I noticed we're late-comers to this site, meaning we're less likely to get a response. I posted my questions under other pp's answers in hope it has a better chance of being seen. Anyway, I'll answer from a personal experience with Japanese straightening that I last had done 7 years ago...all of that is cut off and regrown by now.
I'm a dark-brown (almost black) fine, frizzy type 3 and I used to dye my black hair to a medium brown. So...the darker parts of my hair always looked MUCH better with the straightener in it compared to the lighter parts by far. Lightened + straightened hair usually looks fried. While those parts of my hair didn't fall off, it just didn't look like quality straightened hair. So, perhaps you can flat iron the lightened parts of your hair (on a low temperature) and only have straightened the parts with little to no color in it. Coconut milk is also a great way to smoothen bleached or lightened hair. Hope this helps...
Can you get JHS after a Cezanne (keratin treatment)? And does it help with frizz? My hair is mostly straight, but I have a ton of it, and it gets so frizzy after I wash it, so I am mostly looking for something that will allow me to wash my hair and be able to go out in public with it the same day.
Is there anyone that you could recommend in Phoenix Arizona or Seattle Washington to do the Japanese permanent hair straightening?
Where are you located for your services? I don’t want to go to someone untrained and nobody wants to do it on my 4C texture☹️
I have type 4A hair (mostly) with a little bit of 3C. More importantly, I have fine/delicate hair and low density 😩 could I potentially be a candidate? is there a way to do JHS without having it bone straight?
Is it safe to apply the japanese straightening products at home?
Romina Istrefi ......No, please see a professional hairstylist who is trained in Japanese Hair Straightening.
I’ve relaxed my hair a couple months ago. Does that mean I cant do a Japanese straighten even though its been 2 months because my hair has been relaxed even once?
I wanna do something more permanent. I’ve relaxed it before, each a couple months apart, but each time it the relaxer lasts less and less. Even to the point to where after washing it just a couple times the week after I relaxed it, the hair is significantly less relaxed.
Michael Marchesan JHS and relaxers are not compatible. Only the new growth hair would be able to receive JHS treatment.
What are the prices for this process
400-$1000
Would you recommend doing anything to my hair prier to straighting ie hair prep like olaplex a certain conditioner shampoo etc?
AAKim I heard Olaplex is good and most JHS companies have their own shampoo and conditioner. I’m also doing some research on other products, once I find the companies I can fully support; I’ll make a video.
Does anyone have any opinions about using K18 after the treatment cream washout before the first flat ironing or after the first flat ironing, unlike Olaplex which affects the disulfide bonds, k18 supposedly inserts a small peptide into the hair strand and I was wondering if the weakening of the disulfide bonds that occurs after application of the first solution would make the hair take up the k18 better? Also, any thoughts about using the bioionic hair straightener on the vibration mode for the flat ironing?
How much does it cost?
How long does Japanese hair straightening last and is it different keratin
JHS is permanent. However once the new growth hair grows about minimum 3 inches, a JHS retouch would be done (Every 3 -9 months depending on the hair type).
Keratin is temporarily and last up to 3-4 months.
Also check out my video the JHS vs Keratin.
@@love518salon thank you can I send you a picture of my hair to see if I’m eligible for jhs
@@armyandbts7105 yes, you can send via Instagram @love518salon or email at love518miami@gmail.com
How does it work on gray hair
The same. If you check out my Instagram @love518salon, you’ll see a client with gray hair that received the service.
How does it work on extremely high porosity hair?
Renee Baggott a knot test would have to be done to determine if the hair is able to receive the JHS .
@@love518salon thank you
If I get a japanese hair straightening can I bleach my hair and dye it?
Violet Thorne yes with caution and the brand I use you have to wait 2 weeks before or after to color.
I have 2b / 2a hair type and its very frizzy but i have been straightening it 1 or 2 a week for the past 2 and a half years could i still do it or is it too damaged?
If I had a lightening service done 8 months ago would I still be disqualified for a jhs? The salon said if it was in the last three years, my hair would be frizzy. I have type 3 hair
I meant 2a-2b hair
Lol I'm lazy so I go like every 7 months instead of 4
No to be real, I like 6h away from the capital and I have to go to Paris everytime so eh!
I got my hair done last Friday. How long should I be waiting to put my hair up? I’ve already washed my hair a few times but I’m nervous that it could still change
Megan Abbott 48-72hrs depending on the company the hairstylist used. You should would reach out to the hairstylist to verify the time frame.
is it okay to do it with 2a 2b hair?
If my hair has been permed can I still get JHS? It has almost been a year since my hair has been permed
Only the hair that HAS NOT been relaxed, may receive JHS. Then I would transition your hair from relaxed to eventually to the JHS.
How do you know if someone doesn’t know how to do it….but says they do?
My hair is a mixture of 3b and 3c, I bleached the ends my hair months ago with the garnier hair dye stuff( I forgot what it's called but I got it from Walmart) since it's been almost a year can I still get this done to my hair?
Yes it can, but would have to be very cautious with the process colored hair.
Why must one be careful to do this by your self are there not info on the pack
If I haven’t gotten a relaxer in 8 months, could i still do JHS?
Any hair that has a relaxer can not be JHS. However the new growth hair can be. Therefore I would do a combination of JHS and Keratin for you.
I want a JHS but I don’t know any stylists in Las Vegas that can work on curly hair 😭
I live in Vegas and trying to find someone as well 😭
whatever you do, don’t go to hottie salon. I went there and they under processed my hair so they offered to redo it for free and then ended up over processing my hair.
My hair was so damaged. 😭
I just did my new growth the other day, did it my self this time, and it came out wayyyy better than when i got it done at Hottie salon .
Is the JHS permanent?
Would your hair go back to it's normal after sometime??
I would love to do the JHS but i'm scared it's permanent 😩
It's permanent
If you want to get silky hair and still have curls I recommend KMB treatment.
I can be anything from a 2A to a 3B
Can I go back to curly hair after the perm?
No, it’s permanent
@@love518salon 😭 that’s not good
That's my fear.. like, I love my curls, but they can be a pain in my butt... This treatment is probably the biggest gamble with high risk/high reward that humanity has ever made lol
In the end I feel like it is a good idea if you really struggle with your hair and normally straighten it. Plus think about it this way, your hair will grow back with your texture from before and sense hair normally grows and inch a month you'll have collar bone length hair that is back to your original texture in about a year. And even though this seems like a long time you won't even really have to deal with your hair during it because it'll be straight (less maintenance.) But this is just my opinion.
can i swim in the pool and ocean with the treatment or will it damage my hair and take the treatment out of my hair ?
its me yana JHS is permanent and can not be washed out. Yes, a person can go swimming after the recommended time and proper maintenance.
Hadassa Creations Also, am i allowed to box dye my hair or no ?
its me yana some stylists won’t do the JHS, if the person has used box dye.
my hair is 3a
I’m 3c I wanna fly out to you 🤣
I REALLY want to have it but I'm scared to go to the Japanese salon bc I don't know if they can deal with my 4b hair
Most salons say they can do whatever I ask them to do and screw it up at the end
Will they be able to handle my 4b hair?
Also at the start of June I've had a messed up relaxer by a barber that said he could he could do it
My hair is not completely curly again
Some are still kinda idk weird? Not really curly
Do I have to cut it off or can I just wait until it gets curly again?
Hi, I just did a client that has 4b hair on my Instagram @love518salon you should check it out. Also JHS and a relaxer are not compatible, so you’ll have to wait until the relaxer grows out at least 3-6 inches to do a JHS on the new growth hair.
U said Japanese hair straighten is more frequent like 4-6 months and relaxers only must be done every 2-3 months. Lol sounds like yu trynna sell your services using relaxers... 🤣
I’m Dominican w curly hair. I’m tired of going to the hair salon to get it straighten. If anyone in NYC w curl pattern like 3B & got Japanese straightened let me kno where you went. Thanks
Me too I’m worried because my hair is fine
