What is Thermal Reconditioning?

Thermal Reconditioning AKA Japanese Straightening is an innovative technique from Japan to make frizzy, curly or wavy hair straight while
preserving the hair's integrity. Thermal Reconditioning when done properly will improve the hair's texture, softness and shine.
Creating a new manageable Style!

The treatment Steps Are:


Assessing the client's hair condition ( porosity and elasticity ).
Washing the hair with a clarifying shampoo.
Applying protein to the hair (done by several sprays or running a solution through the hair).
Applying the TR solution (this is to break the hair's "Cystine Bonds" - the bonds that hold the curl or wave pattern).
Testing to see when the bonds are ready.
Rinsing the hair.
Applying protein to the hair (done by several sprays or running a solution through the hair).
Rinsing the hair.
Returning to the chair and applying a protective protein solution (by spray).
Eliminating some excess moisture in the hair (blow-drying to a certain point).
Ironing the hair in extremely small sections with a special Thermal Iron
reaching temperatures of 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees F).
This will not damage your hair.
Applying a neutralizer to the hair after ironing is completed.
Applying protein and shine solution to the hair (done by several sprays or running a solution through the hair).
Rinsing the hair and conditioning.
Drying the hair.
