The Ultimate Guide to Different Hair Straightening Treatments

Are you tired of that constant frizz you have when you brush your freshly washed hair? Or are the natural curls and waves in your hair become a little too unmanageable? Did someone just tell you that you look great with your hair down and straightened with an iron? If the answers to all these questions are in the affirmative, then you should start considering hair straightening treatment options!

Hair treatment nowadays is done by professional salons and it’s supposed to make your straightened hair last for a long time rather than just a few hours using a straightening iron. It has become increasingly popular over the last decade because it’s safe and not even that expensive for a complete makeover. While the straightening treatment does last a long time, you should remember that new natural hair growth will come out in their original state and you might have to get the treatment done again in a year or two depending upon the rate of your hair growth.

If you’re looking for straightening treatment options, here are some you should consider:

Brazilian Keratin Treatment

If you’re looking for a straightening treatment that doesn’t last too long (about 4-5 months), consider the Brazilian Keratin Treatment. This involves strengthening the keratin protein in your hair making it straight and super shiny. The treatment doesn’t permanently break the bonds in your hair to produce the straightening effect so you can get your natural texture back in a few months. Since the treatment involves the use of formaldehyde, it might not be the safest option for your health if you are allergic to this chemical.

Permanent Hair Rebonding

Permanent hair rebonding, previously called as Japanese straightening, is a more permanent straightening treatment for your hair until your natural hair grows out from the scalp again. It involves the use of chemicals that permanently break the bonds in your curly or wavy hair. The treatment can take up to 8 hours, followed by around 3 days where you can’t wash style your hair.

A newer alternative to rebonding is the extensor hair treatment that adds around 20% more volume than normal rebonding would. A good Albany hair salon can guarantee great results for your hair strengthening treatments so don’t forget to make the right choice!
