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 hair straightening chemically restructures the hair's bonds to permanently alter its natural curl or wave pattern. Methods include Japanese thermal reconditioning, rebonding, and relaxers. The result is smooth, straight hair that remains straight even when wet.

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.
