Japanese Straightening 
in Pasadena

Japanese Straightening is a permanent chemical service that restructures the hair and creates a straight finish. The treated portion remains straight, while new growth will retain your natural texture.A Keratin Smoothing Treatment is a semi-permanent service that reduces frizz, softens the hair, and makes it easier to manage. It does not always produce a completely straight result, especially on tightly curled hair.

Japanese Straightening is permanent on the hair that has been treated.A root touch-up may be needed every two to six months, depending on how quickly your hair grows and how different your natural texture is from the straightened hair.

A Keratin Smoothing Treatment generally lasts approximately two to three months.The result gradually fades with shampooing. Longevity depends on how often you wash your hair, the products you use, and your natural texture.

Japanese Straightening is generally not recommended for hair that has been bleached or highlighted.Combining straightening chemicals with previously bleached hair can cause severe damage or breakage. A detailed consultation and chemical-history review are required before booking.
