Best Permanent Hair Straightening near me in Troy Hill, Pittsburgh

Permanent hair straightening, also known as thermal reconditioning or Japanese straightening, is a chemical process that alters the structure of your hair to make it straight for long periods of time. First, chemical relaxants are applied to your hair to break down its natural bonds. Then your hair is straightened using heat and neutralized to lock in the new shape, leaving you with straight, sleek hair.

Permanent straightening lasts until the treated hair grows out: typically 6-12 months before new growth at the roots requires a touch-up. The treated sections remain straight indefinitely unless chemically reversed or cut off.

When performed by a skilled professional, permanent hair straightening is safe. However, the chemicals involved can lead to dryness, brittleness, and potentially hair breakage if your hair isn't cared for properly during and after the treatment. Some people may also have an allergic reaction to the chemicals used. Consult with your stylist first to make sure you understand the process and potential risks.
