Japanese Hair Straightening – What to Know

Is Japanese Hair Straight Bad for Your Hair?

Although Japanese hair straightening uses certain chemical solutions on the hair, it is basically a safe procedure for most people if performed properly. In fact, it may even improve your hair health in the long run since you will be likely to apply fewer styling products for hair straightening. However, there are still certain risks of intensive chemical use. For example, those people who had their hair colored or got chemical treatments before tend to be more prone to hair damage after Japanese hair straightening. Some individuals reported that their hair was melted off and had fried-out stubs. To ensure safety, it is important to choose a good salon and experienced hair stylist. [3]
