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 chemically breaks and reforms the hair's bonds for a lasting structural change. Keratin treatments smooth and coat the hair shaft temporarily for 3-6 months without permanently altering the bond structure. Permanent straightening is more powerful and longer-lasting but also more chemically intensive.

Japanese thermal reconditioning is one of the most effective permanent straightening methods. Browse and book Japanese straightening specialists near you on Fresha.

Permanent hair straightening can last anywhere from 4-6 months, depending on your hair type and how fast it grows. To maintain your straightened hair for as long as possible, use hair care products like sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners, avoid chlorine and saltwater, and get regular touch-ups at the salon every few months as your hair grows out.
