What is Permanent Hair Straightening?

Unlike Keratin treatments which simply soften and smooths your hair temporarily, Japanese Shiseido permanent hair straightening does exactly what the names tells you, it keep your hair permanently straight. Instead of washing and wearing off from your hair, permanent hair straightening grows out with your hair, so you will only need to have maintence on the roots of your hair.

How does Shiseido Permanent Hair Straightening work?

This Shiseido treatment combines multiple processes including heat and re-bonding. The bonds that naturally occur in your hair strand, are what is responsible for creating the curl or wave in your hair, Shiseido’s straightening system alters the internal bonds in your hair so that when heat (flat ironing) is applied, it creates a permanently straight bond in the hair.

How long does the process take in the salon?

The process can take between two to five hours, we know, it’s a long time! But the results are worth it. There are quite a few steps to permanent hair straightening, and its vital that you have this done by a professional to ensure your hair is treated properly for the best results and of course to protect the integrity of your hair.

What is the process if I would like to get Shiseido Permanent Hair Straightening at Vince and John?

It all starts with a consultation. This is crucial to proceeding with permanent hair straightening as we need to assess your hair. Permanent hair straightening is a chemical process which alters the bonds and structure of your hair, so its vital that we can asses your hair to ensure that your hair can tolerate this process. We will talk you through each step, and let you know how long the process will take in the salon so you can arrange a suitable time to make your appointment.

What is the aftercare post permanent hair straightening?

The most important thing to remember after you have your permanent hair straightening done is, do not wet or wash your hair in any way, or tie it up for at least 2-3 days after your service! We suggest skipping exercise during this period also. This is to allow the treatment to set properly to give you the best results. Apart from that, we recommend the use of the Shiseido post straightening Shampoo and Conditioner, and heat protector serum to prolonge and best maintain your results.

How often will I need to get my permanent straightening done?

We recommend allowing at least 1-2 inches of regroth to grow through before having your ‘root touch up’. For some people this is only 2-3 times a year. If your hair is not very curly or frizzy, you may choose to extend this time and only touch up your permanent straightening once a year! We do recommend showing your hair a little love and applying a treatment, either in the salon or at home at least once a month to keep your hair as healthy and happy as possible.
