Shiseido Hair Straightening in Melbourne by A2 Salon
Shiseido hair straightening is a hair straightening service through using hair products from Shiseido - one of the premier hair product brands in Japan. The renowned Japanese brand created its Crystallizing Straightening product line without hydroxide and lye, which are ingredients typically found in other hair straightening products and damaging to hair.
Instead, Shiseido's Crystallizing Straightening products, used by A2 Salon for our hair straightening service, replace the harmful chemicals with Liscio, a much gentler compound. Liscio can provide a similar result when compared to other hair straightening products while maintaining the smoothness and health of hair.
Why choose Shiseido Hair Straightening?
Hair straightening helps you to have straight, beautiful and smooth hair. While there are plenty of hair straightening options in the market, all hair straightening products are not natural. Chemicals are required to break the bond between hair molecules before using hair iron to straighten the hair. The breaking and reforming of bonds often damage the hair, leading to dry and frizzy hair.
The new chemical formula in Shiseido's Crystallizing Straightening products replaces damaging compounds, such as hydroxide, with a gentler option to minimise the damage from hair straightening.
The use of Liscio also provides longer-lasting straightening, as Shiseido is one of the few brands on the market that claimed permanent result. The result from Shiseido hair straightening is also not easily affected by rain or humidity. It can last up to 6 months until the roots start to grow, significantly reducing the time spent on daily morning routines.
Shiseido hair straightening products also do not contain any formaldehyde or other cancerous chemicals, so it is a safe treatment.
How does Shiseido Hair Straightening work?
As with all other hair straightenings, Shiseido hair straightening break and reform bonds in the hair. The process typically takes a few hours in the salon.
Hair stylists at A2 Salon will first access your hair to check if your hair is suitable for Shiseido hair straightening or if other services will better suit your condition.
Once confirmed, your hair will be washed to remove any grease and dirt on the hair so the hair straightening product can fully penetrate the hair.
Keeping the hair wet, hair protecting products will be applied to the hair to minimise hair damage during the straightening process. This step also ensures your hair responds better to the product.
After applying the protecting product, the Shiseido Crystallizing Straightening solution will be applied to the hair. The solution breaks the bonds in the hair that are responsible for the curves and is rinsed off before the next step.
A hair iron is used to straighten your hair after the solution has been rinsed off. This step is optional depending on hair types. A2 Salon uses the GlamPalm Healing Stone hair iron which uses an exotic mineral in South Korea to further minimise damage to your hair.
The second Shiseido Crystallizing Straightening solution will be used to reform the bonds in the hair. Once settled, the solution will be rinsed off to give you smooth, straight and manageable hair.
Can I use Shiseido Hair Straightening with coloured hair?
Another major advantage of Shiseido hair straightening is its ability to work with hair colour. The Japanese brand specifically created Shiseido Crystallizing Straight for Fine or Treated Hair that can be used on coloured hair. The solution has added N1 + N2 moisturising formula to prevent hair damage.
