Japanese Straightening
Question: I straightened my hair using the Japanese technique over a year ago. I would like to do it again but am a little scared of the potential damage. Is it safe to do it again?
Answer: Seeking an experienced stylist for your second straightening is super-critical because only the new growth should be straightened. Going over the already processed sections is extremely damaging and can make hair break at the point where the previously treated area begins (I’ve seen it with friends!). Speak with your stylist about his or her experience with re-straightening and preventing damage and breakage. If your current stylist swears that breakage is never a concern with re-straightening, don’t believe him - go somewhere else!
