Are japanese hair straightening treatments bad?

Professionally I rarely if ever recommend this treatment. Here is why: The hair is stick-to-your-head-straight, you can not do this over any color or have any color done after. You must wait for at least an 1 1/2 " regrowth to retouch. That means while this is growing in your roots are curly and your mid-ends are straight. Very tough to work with. This hair once straight will not even hold a curling iron curl. Once this service is done, the hair can not go back to it's natural state. I hope this answers all of your questions. Best of luck.

It will damage your hair very badly- especially if you do it multiple times. It also doesn't last forever and you will have to straighten your hair as wavy parts grow back in. I'm sure your hair is pretty naturally. Why don't you wear it that way? If it is poofy when dry just put some gel in your hair when it's wet and don't brush it after it dries. I like the herbal essences gels- they work well for my super curly hair. Check out the website for more info about wearing your hair naturally.

I recommend that you invest in a good flat iron. That way, when you want your hair to be pin straight just flat iron with a good serum. I don't recommend that you use any chemicals in your hair, it causes damage, breakage, brittle, and split ends. And you definitely will have to put in a lot of moisture in your hair. Go to folica.com and get a good flat iron.
