Chemical hair straightening, also known as permanent hair straightening or thermal reconditioning, is a hair treatment process that uses chemicals to alter the natural texture of the hair, transforming curly, wavy, or frizzy hair into straight and sleek locks.
This process involves the use of specialised products that break down the protein bonds in the hair, which are responsible for its natural shape and texture, and then reshapes the hair to a straight form.
Chemical hair straightening can provide long-lasting results, often lasting several months or even up to a year, depending on the hair type and maintenance routine. It is a popular choice for those who desire permanently straight hair and want to eliminate the need for daily heat styling or struggle with managing unruly curly or frizzy hair.
However, it is essential to note that chemical hair straightening is a drastic hair transformation process that can alter the hair’s natural structure and integrity, and it requires proper aftercare and maintenance to keep the hair healthy and in good condition.
The chemical hair straightening process typically begins with a thorough consultation with a professional hairstylist, who will assess the hair type, condition, and desired outcome. This is important to determine the appropriate chemical formulation, processing time, and technique for the specific hair type.
It is crucial to have this process done by a skilled and experienced stylist, as it involves the use of potent chemicals that can potentially damage the hair if not applied correctly.
The first step in the chemical hair straightening process is to wash the hair with a clarifying shampoo to remove any residues and prepare the hair for the chemical treatment. Then, the stylist will apply a straightening solution, which usually contains a strong alkaline compound, to the hair, carefully avoiding the scalp and the roots. The solution works by breaking down the protein bonds in the hair shaft, which allows the hair to be reshaped.
After the straightening solution is applied, the stylist will then use heat, usually in the form of a flat iron, to straighten the hair strand by strand. This step helps to reshape the hair and lock in the straightened form.
Once the entire head of hair is straightened, a neutraliser or a stabiliser is applied to lock in the straightened shape and restore the hair’s pH balance. This step is critical in preventing the hair from reverting back to its original curly or wavy state.
It is crucial to follow the post-treatment care instructions provided by the stylist, which may include avoiding excessive heat styling, using specialised hair care products for chemically treated hair, and scheduling regular touch-up treatments to maintain the straightened results.
It is also important to note that chemical hair straightening is not suitable for all hair types and conditions. It may not be recommended for severely damaged or over-processed hair, as it can further weaken the hair shaft and cause breakage.
Additionally, it is not recommended for pregnant or nursing women, as the chemicals used in the process can potentially harm the baby.
