Hair Rebonding Shiseido Professional Crystallizing Hair Straightener (H1) + Neutralizing Emulsion (2) for Resistant to Natural Hair

I have really curly hair, type 3C curls and was very tired of buying curly hair products to apply every 4 days on my wash days. I was tired of waking up the second day with frizzy broken curls even if I have a silk pillow cover Pretty much curls are high maintenance. So I always end up wearing my hair in a bun which on my wash day my hair looks fabulous but it doesn't last. So when I did the JHS treatment it took me 8 hrs. due to my hair density and the resistance of my curls I had to leave it on longer until it relax. I would not recommend to use this strength if you have fine caucasian hair. Bleach or colored hair. Although my hair was damaged from the color treatment months before. I do have very coarse hair that is very strong so this strength was appropriate for me. Also I bought the olaplex system and applied it to my ends so it does not break the bonds too quickly. Than after the treatment I would use olaplex 2 rebounder and use joico damage rebounding hair mask and shampoo and conditioner set. I Use very good products so if you plan on applying it on damaged or thin hair do the same. Thin or damage thin hair I recommend you use a less strong version just because the breakage is realSteps:Number 1 is important to break the hair bond shape due to the high pH it softens and dissolve the hair cortex and cuticles but makes it more easy to break hair bonds similar to hair relaxers. For curly gals look at your hair roots too that is where hair is most resistance if it still has a wave form it is not relaxed yet, but depending on your hair it could be over damaging to your ends even if your roots arent ready. Make sure you apply the product quick. Washout and do another process application on to resistant area like roots after washing it out the first time this will save your ends from extreme breakage. After washing your hair apply ton of heat protectant to the hair blow dry downwards to keep hair cutticles from lifting upwards or frizzing the hair. Keep hair slightly damp but not too damp. You need to use a flat iron to pin straighten the hair. Be very meticulous with this or else you will have left over frizz. Than apply number 2 neutralizer over flat iron hair this will lock in your hair shape so it is important to do this process well. also it neutralizes the number 1 chemical alkaline property so it's more acidic. It will harden the cortex and cuticle which basically seals the shape of your hair. Once done wash it out apply a very good hair rebounding mask leave it on for at least 1-2hrs. Apply leave in conditioner, heat protectant, Than repeat blow dry downwards and flat iron into your desire shape. Also you can apply a real good sleek shiny oil afterwards. Than you can't wash it or tie your hair for 72 hr after. this process helps give your hair time to reform and reharden its hair shape and also gives the hair time to lock in your new relax straight hair. Tying it will give the hair a kinked shape. Follow manufacturer direction as always.

I love my curly thick hair but it was time for a change lol Please read everything I wrote as I’m trying to help you the best I can especially if you have thick curly hair…This is the way I did it I wore an old shirt, I washed my hair with shampoo (I didn’t have sulfate free shampoo unfortunately but it still worked), I blow dried my hair until damped (blow dry downwards each time), I sectioned out my hair and added it to my ends and half way on my hair (don’t add the first product to the roots) and I left it for on my hair 40 mins. I washed it out, blow dried, then straightened my hair (I added heating oil before straightening too). I then added the second product to my straight hair and left it in my hair for 30 mins. I washed it the second product with no shampoo, blow dried my hair, and straightened it with oil again. So far it looks amazing and better than my regular curly frizzy hair which I love but, I’m thankful because now it will take less time to get ready. Depending on your hair it might not need so much time in it but it helped me and my hair.Word of advice definitely watch YouTube videos before hand, buy sulfate free shampoo, wear gloves, wear old clothes and follow directions. After you’re finished for the first 3 days you can’t get it wet, you can’t work out for the sweat, you can’t put it behind my ears, and you can’t put it in a hair tie, don’t wash it for a week, do weekly hair care. Most importantly If it gets wet blow dry the wet part quickly and straighten it. It only took me 3 movies and 4 episodes on Netflix to finish which was 7 hours however it depends on your hair lol.Pros:-I love my hair-It’s easy-it works-it helps your hair-my hair is shiny and straight-it’s better than a perm-you can dye your hair 4-6 weeks later-The straightening will last 6-9 months and touch ups will be needed by that timeCons:-Don’t use on hair that’s been dyed or permed until a month later I believe-if you have thick curly hair it will take forever if especially if you’re doing it by yourself so have something to watch, eat and drink-it smells but not as bad-the first product doesn’t burn but the second did a little tiny bit but nothing major

I wanted to wait a couple of days after to write this review.This stuff is magic!!! I love it! My hair is naturally wavy and really frizzy — it’s so hard to manage !! Most of the time I try to flat iron it anyways...I would suggest having another person help you, you have to make sure you get all pieces of hair because if you miss a spot, it will not straighten. My sister helped me and she missed a small spot in the front near my forehead, now it’s still wavy but I don’t mind bc it actually makes my hair look a little more natural.After the first wash, I already saw results!! Then the second one, I let my hair air dry and it dried straight! I was so amazed!! 3 days later, I finally washed and shampooed it, still looks great!! I’m super satisfied with this product!!The only negative thing I have about this product is the smell. The first solution STINKS!!! We did my hair outside and the smell still bothered me so much.. the bathroom stank really bad when I went to wash it out, and 3 days later, the smell still lingers in my hair. Luckily the neutralizer (2nd) solution didn’t stink!Great product! Much much more affordable than going to the salon which usually charges $300-$500+ .. though I’m sure salon quality might be better. But this is perfect for me!!
