Liscio Japanese Hair Straightening
Liscio Japanese Hair Straightening is an innovative new technique from
Japan to make frizzy, curly or wavy hair completely straight while
preserving the hair's health. In the past, people were concerned that
if they straightened their hair, they would damage it significantly,
and this was true. It is not true any more. Hair can be straightened
much more effectively with the Japanese Liscio techniques with much
less damage to the hair.
Japanese Hair Straightening typically will improve the hair's feel, softness and shine while making it more manageable!
What is Liscio Japanese Hair Straightening and its History?
The first question we are usually asked about Japanese Hair
Straightening (also called Thermal Reconditioning) is "Why do the
Japanese need to have their Hair Straightened? They already have
straight hair!" Actually this is just not true. Many Japanese have wavy
or kinky hair.
How is Japanese Hair Straightening Done?
Japanese Hair Straightening is a fairly involved procedure. It
can take between 4 and 8 hours to complete depending on your hair
length and volume. Salons in LA charge upwards of $500 USD to do this
procedure. You will be happy that Aoi Beauty Studio does not charge
that much!! Click Here to see how much we charge for Liscio Japanese
Hair Straightening.
The Liscio Hair Straightening System & Shiseido Crystallizing is as follows:
- Assessing the hair type and condition.
- Washing the hair.
- Applying protein to the hair, if necessary for the particular customer and hair type. (small extra charge for this procedure, if you don't do this when necessary, you could end up with a less than satisfactory result, the stylist will tell you if this is necessary or not in your consultation)
- Applying Solution #1 (this cuts the hair's "Cystine Bonds" - the bonds that hold curl or wave patterns).
- Testing to see when the hair is ready to have Solution #1 rinsed out.
- Rinsing the hair.
- Eliminating some excess moisture in the hair (blow-drying to a certain point).
- Ironing the hair in extremely small sections with a special Japanese Straightening Iron that reaches temperatures of 180 degrees Celsius. Don't worry, this will not damage your hair unnecessarily.
- Applying Solution #2 to the hair after ironing is completed.
- Rinsing the hair and conditioning.
- Drying the hair and applying a flat iron to remove excess moisture if necessary.
