Japanese Straightening

The Peter Louis Staff will make your hair Silky and Shiny everytime! The client pictured above is a regular Peter Louis Japanese Straighting client.

After studying the ingredients and speaking to some stylists in Brazil, I have decided not to do this procedure. It is a procedure that has caused death from exposure to the chemical ingredients. Not only are they toxic during the procedure the chemicals stay in your hair so you are exposed 24/7. I have included a link to a woman who has died from this cancer causing product.

Me in Brazil doing my research! BKT is basically a service done by the low end salons in Brazil. The nice salons don't touch BKT. as they say in Brazil "es muito mal"

I now recommend that all my clients buy Rene Furterer NATURIA Dry Shampoo. It cleanses hair WITHOUT WATER. Its highly absorbent argilla powder restores volume and lightness to hair, making styling easy. It can be used as often as needed and is adapted to everyone's life style. Its fresh scent comes from essential oils for true sensory pleasure. Recommendations for use: Shake well before use and spray all over hair from a distance of 15 inches. Leave in for 2 minutes. Pat gently with towel and comb

Today the Shiseido company demonstrated the Crystallizing straight service for us. They were very nice and I thank them for the demonstration. The shampoo and conditioner products are interesting but I don't like the Crystallizing straight service. The solution has a smell that I have never liked (actually I hate the smell), This smell reminds me of a Paul Brown TR product and other relaxers that I have disliked one of which was Canadian . Two weeks ago I retouched a woman who had Crystallizing and when Liscio is slightly overlapped over crystalling the smell is reactivated.

MATRIX, is part of L'Oreal USA's Professional Products Division.

According to the Matrix website:
Technology makes the difference it's cold-smoothing or heat-straightening, Opti.smooth's unique formulations protect your hair every step of the way.

In Actuality it is the hair stylist who must protect your hair every step of the way! cold-smoothing means relaxing and thats what this product is a relaxer with some conditioning properties. A product that wants to be like the new Liscio product but not as good in my opinion.

I was Pleasantly surprised to be asked to help with Milbon's New Liscio product development. I felt this would be a Fantastic opportunity to be an active participant in the creation of a new and more versatile Japanese Straightening aka Thermal reconditioning procedure. During the R&D period we received several shipments of solutions from Osaka, Japan which would be adjusted and modified as per the suggestions of the stylists involved in this R&D Project.

JAPANESE HAIR STRAIGHTENING HISTORY

The first question that is asked when the clients hear about Japanese Hair Straightening aka Thermal Reconditioning ( which is like saying Champagne aka sparkling wine ) is "Why do the Japanese need a relaxer? They already have straight hair!" Contrary to popular belief, a high percentage of the Japanese population has wavy or kinky curl to their hair.

LISCIO "The First Japanese Straightening System"

Highlights are very tricky to work with, but can be done. Many salons highlight hair with bleach and sometimes they overlap their prior work on retouch. This is very damaging to the hair and makes the Japanese Straightening treatment difficult; because some hair is lightened right next to hair that is not lightened, creating a great degree of difference between the porosity of neighboring hair strands. So the highlighted hair will process faster than the virgin strand next to it.

During a retouch procedure only the new growth is treated. The other hair is usually
protected by using high protection cream so the solution will not penetrate
into the previously treated hair. If there is any curl or wave in the
previously treated hair, a mild solution can be applied.

The retouch procedure is often more difficult to perform, so it is strongly recommended that you use a stylist very experienced in Japanese Straightening.

After Receiving a Japanese Straightening you must follow these rules for three days:

Don't wash your hair for three days (eg. process on saturday wash on tuesday morning).
Don't get your hair wet, if it does get wet dry it straight.
If you sweat, dry it straight.
No pins.
No clips.
No ponytails.
No hair placed behind the ears.

After the third day:
Use TR Safe Shampoo (eg. Crede ER FT or Peter Louis TR shampoo and conditioner or Yuko Kokoro G Shampoo and treament....)

No, Anyone can make a hair strand look great. The difficult part is to make the whole head look great! A true master of Japanese Straightening will know if your hair will look great without a strand test.
