Cons of permanent hair straightening Kiki hair is the best in permanent hair straightening in melbourne because we use top-of-the-line products that include the japanese straightening brand known as shiseido professional crystallizing straightening system. here’s how it will transform your dull, frizzy hair to shiny, pin-straight locks. how it works shiseido crystallizing straightening is our in-salon thermal straightening service, which aims to repair your hair cuticles and its inner tissues for a permanently beautiful, straight hair.

Magic Sleek Hair Straightening

Magic Sleek Hair Straightening if you want something that lasts until your hair grows out... .thermal reconditioning (also called japanese straightening) is best for bulky, loose to medium—but not kinky—curls. the hair is saturated with a solution containing a chemical that breaks the bonds that give each strand its shape; it is then rinsed, blow-dried, and meticulously flatironed. once a neutralizer is applied, the hair is locked into this new, straight configuration. the process can take up to eight hours the first time (depending on length and thickness); touch-ups require three to four hours. for three days after the treatment, you can't get your hair wet or do anything kink inducing (like wear a ponytail), and while your hair will now be sleek and shiny (even after air-drying), you're left with one styling option: bone-straight. even curling irons or hot rollers won't restore volume or wave. cost: $500 to $1,500. Magic sleek is the most effective hair straightening system for damaged hair, it has been developed with many natural ingredients found in the amazon rainforest; these components are rich in omega 3 and omega 9 unsaturated fatty acids, which offer nutrition to the hair. magic sleek is truly
