When it comes to Japanese and Brazilian Hair Treatments, people are often confused as to what the difference is between the two. This is because there is a lot of misconceptions, most of which would have people believe that the two treatments are the same. However, they are in fact completely different, and we’re going to be looking at the differences.

So, what is the difference between the two hair treatments?

Both hair treatments offer entirely different things for the people who have them and also use different methods to get their results. The main difference between Brazilian hair treatment and that of Japanese hair treatments is the way that the composition of the treatment differs. What you’ll find when it comes to Japanese hair treatments is that they are completely natural, containing a mixture of silk, meadowfoam, wheat and soy, which are all used together to create the straight hair which people have come to expect from the treatment. However, the difference between that and Brazilian hair treatment is that the latter contains harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde and formalin, both of which have a detrimental effect on the human body. Japanese hair treatment is very natural and has no ill effects on the system, which makes it the much better choice for those who want a more natural way to straighten out their hair. The Brazilian versions often contain a series of aggressive and obnoxious ingredients which people are unwise to expose themselves too.

As well as this, the Japanese hair treatment works in a different way to the Brazilian hair treatments. Japanese hair treatments use two separate solutions to create the hair straightening effect, which is in sharp contrast to the Brazilian method, which only uses one solution, and that solution contains the harmful chemicals mentioned previously, so the gap in quality is both visible and very large. Furthermore, it is a lesser known fact that Brazilian Hair Treatments do not last as long as its Japanese counterpart, instead of being a semi-permanent solution. With the occasional top up here and there, those who opt for the Japanese hair straightening will find that it is a much more permanent process, and will look great for years to come if looked after properly.

Overall, the differences between Japanese and Brazilian Hair Treatments are many and varied. The main concern is that you are doing much less damage to your hair when you choose to use Japanese hair treatments, and that is primarily what draws people away from the Brazilian alternative. People value their hair and would like it to stay in the best possible condition, which is why those types of process which could damage it are often not appreciated at all. While Brazilian hair treatment may seem like an alluring outcome at first glance, a deeper look reveals that it is harmful to the body, and could easily result in damage to the hair if you allow it to be applied to your head.

The Japanese hair straightening technique is something that a lot of people have already started using as it is an excellent method of keeping hair straight and neat, but the fact it’s being utilised by Straight Hair London has done wonders to improve the popularity of the practice.

So what is Japanese Hair Straightening?

Before we can identify if the hair straightening process has been an active treatment at the salon, we first need to understand what it is. Japanese hair straightening is a chemical based process that involves forcing the hair to assume a straight position, by physically changing the bonds of the hair to rearrange them in a straight pattern. It is very popular among those with frizzy hair because it is much easier to maintain and keep in good condition. As well as this, it is less affected by the weather and can still retain its shape even when exposed to winds and rain, which is something that normal hair struggles to do. The treatment as a whole is much less damaging to your hair than a lot of other different procedures, as it does require heat to perform.

So, it’s been used in Straight Hair London?

The process begins with three consecutive shampooings of the hair, to make sure that the hair cuticles have opened up sufficiently to allow the process to work.

From there, the specialist cream is applied to allow the hair to straighten. It is carefully put onto the hair one centimeter at a time, to make sure that there is no part of the hair which is not covered with the cream. It’s left on for some time and then washed out. Then you need hair straighteners to seal up the cuticle and lock it into position and is then further sealed by neutralising cream, in a manner which is not dissimilar to perming.

The results are then apparent for everyone to see once the final few parts of the procedure have been completed, and it’s clear that it’s well worth it. You’ll have straight and shiny hair for as long as you want, and it not only looks great, but it also stays high too. As long as you don’t wet or tie up the hair in the three days after the treatment, you’ll be on track to keeping the hair looking straight and easy to manage, without the need for hours spent in front of a mirror, which makes it well worth your time and money to undergo the procedure.

Using a dating site can sometimes be tricky. As you are unable to have a normal conversation with someone until you meet them face to face, you’re going to need to present your profile in the best light possible. Therefore, you have to wonder, what kind of hairstyle is best for attracting potential partners? One woman experimented to find out whether curly or straight hair is best, and we’re taking a look at her story.

The experiment was conducted in New York City, by a young woman who had recently become single. She joined a dating site in an attempt to find a new potential romantic interest and then did something completely different. She made two profiles instead of one. They were the same person, with the same details, but one had curly hair, whereas the other one had straight hair. Her goal was to identify if there was a difference in interest between women with curly hair and women who had straighter hair.

The results from the experiment showed that the straight hair was the most popular choice for people. The straight haired profile got viewed around 1606 times in that month, whereas the one with curly hair only got viewed around 1063 times. As well as this, there were 181 different emails taken from the account of the hair which was straight, in comparison to the 60 which were garnered from the curly haired profile.

The woman then decided to challenge the conceptions of the people she was going on dates with. When she went on a date with someone she had met through the straight haired profile, she went with her hair curled. And when it was someone she had met through the curly haired profile, she decided to go with straight hair instead. The test was to figure out if the hair she had would influence how people viewed her. And surprisingly, it did for one of the dates, where the man she was seeing expressed shock and confusion at her curly hair; she had met him through the straight haired profile, so that was what he was expecting to see.

Overall, the woman who experimented proved that the way our hair is styled does, in fact, affect images of attraction and what people do and do not like. In the case of the straight haired profile, the gentleman that she went on a date with was taken completely aback when she turned up with hair which wasn’t what she had initially given the impression it was. This proves that there is a difference between the hair that people have and the amount of attention they will get from potential romantic interests. If you’re looking to read the full article and hear about her story in more detail, we’ve included the article for you to have a read of, and make your minds up about whether hair is a factor which affects attraction or not.

When you use Japanese hair straightening for your hair, you’re going from whatever you were previously to silky and straight. This is usually an excellent thing, and most of our customers have loved the change. But the aftercare of your hair is extremely important, so we’re going to cover it now.

So, how should I look after my hair once my treatment is done?

Once you have had your treatment, congratulations; you’re now well on your way to having straight hair, and there is just the aftercare period to get through before you’re free to do with your hair whatever you like. The first 72 hours after the treatment has been completed are the most crucial regarding keeping your hair safe from damage. The most important rule is that your hair does not get wet at all. This means it can not be washed or exposed to any liquids, including rainfall and sweat, or this will damage the work the treatment is doing.

You are also not allowed to put any product into your hair. So dry shampoo, wax, hair gel or hairspray is also not allowed. This is to enable the hair time to adjust to the new shape it has been turned into. For this to be as efficient as possible, the hair needs to be kept straight. This is because if you bend it, you may run the risk of that hair not being able to adapt to the treatment correctly. You should, therefore, avoid ponytails if you have them, and also tucking the hair behind an ear. As well as this, if you wear glasses or hats, you should avoid wearing them for the 72 hour period, as those kinds of things which come into contact with the hair will serve to damage it.

Once the initial 72 hour period is up, you’ll need to follow a few more rules to keep your hair looking straight and stunning. You should avoid swimming for the first few weeks, as the exposure to chlorine will damage the hair, as well extreme sunlight. So if you plan to go out in good weather, wear a hat. It is worth noting that the amount of moisture your hair absorbs is now reduced, so you don’t need to blow dry it as much, and too much could result in damage to the hair, as it would an average head of hair.

Overall, these are the things that you should be doing if you’ve been using Japanese hair straightening and you do not want to damage the hair or interrupt the straightening process. The 72 hour period may well seem like a lot, but it is worth taking into consideration that you may well be sleeping for roughly 24 hours, and it will pass quicker than you would think. Once that 72 hour period is up, you’re free to do with your hair whatever you want, but remember to follow the aftercare rules and avoid exposure to high levels of sunlight or chlorine.

An endless debate among people with long hair is whether the straighter variant is the best one, or whether it is curly hair which is truly the way to go. People have been mulling this one over for a long time, and ABC news has recently reported on the phenomenon and also covered an experiment which was conducted. We’re taking a look at what happened, and what the results were.

So what was the experiment looking to accomplish?

As reported by ABC news, the purpose of this research was to determine if having straight hair or curly hair makes a difference to how you are viewed by people. To try and figure this one out, a woman had two photos of herself taken. One where hair was curly and then one where it was straight. From there, she had photos of eight other actresses made, for a total of 10 pictures of different women.

Once the photos had been taken, a group of males were gathered and asked to participate in an experiment. The men were told that the photos were to choose the face of a new clothing line and that they had to give a score from one to ten, with the number conveying how much they would want to date the woman, as well as a single word to describe each woman.

So, what did the results show?

When it came to the photos of the woman with her different hairstyles, some interesting information was gleaned. The scores for the picture of the woman when she had curly hair were lower than the scores for the girl when she had straight hair. The words which were associated with the curly haired photo were ones which were less than favourable, with words like ‘average’ and ‘frazzled’ being commonplace, with one participant even saying that she looked like a ‘teacher’. When asked why they ranked the straight haired photo higher, people stated that the hair was ‘distracting’, and that the picture with straight hair seemed much more natural and approachable.

The criticism did not step there, as when the experiment was repeated with children and then business people, the vote was again in favour of straight hair, with the corporate leaders even going as far as to say that the curly hair was ‘wild’.

Overall, the results have shown that for reasons known only to the beholder, people prefer a woman with straighter hair than a lady who has curls. The reasons for this aren’t definitive, but for the most part, people seem to regard it as messy, distracting and unorganised, whereas straight hair is subtle and less likely to draw attention. People seem to be very much concerned with the neat and professional looking, and this is something which ensures that people with curly hair have a harder time of being taken seriously or even liked. As we said, this article was covered by ABC news, and you can read it in full here.
