Could you give us an update of how your hair is after washing it and handling it for a few weeks now. And what kind of hair products do you use for washing & styling? Thanks so much! Loved the video! :)
Yes I do have an all about after the treatment with what I use but I will definitely do an update as my hair has grown A LOT lol
Thank you so much for posting the YUKO website! I found a salon near me and can't wait to make the appointment! I'm so excited for this!
Great video. Your hair looks AMAZING!!!! You are my hair twin and I got this process done on May 27th and It is honestly the BEST THING I HAVE EVER DONE TO MY HAIR!!!
I do not miss my curly hair at all bc I hate shrinkage!!!! Please keep us posted on the products you use because I am always looking for things to keep my hair as healthy as possible!!!!
rririla23 Thank you! and yes I love it too, I just wish my hair didn't grow so fast /: And yes if my hair didn't shrink up so much I probably would not have got it done but it almost touches my butt but shrinks up above my shoulders, like why -___- lol I will be uploading a video on all that ASAP. thank you!! :)
Your hair looks GREAT! It seems to have lots of movement too!
Jean Keats thank you!! Yes it is not stiff at all :)
@@jilianraeee hello do you have to grow out your relaxer to apply Japanese perm.
Goodness, loving your hair new subbie here.
I know this video is a little old, but where did you get your shirt? I've been looking for one like that forever!
Ooooooohhh! Love the kitty!!! So cute!
Both kittys are adorable!!!
Is a touch up treatment as much as you paid for the very first treatment? Thanks.
hi, I did a Japanese hair straightening today..am so happy and xcited to wash, cn u suggest some shampoo + conditioner -
Glad you're loving it! I'd listen to whatever your stylist suggested but honestly I just use shampoo and conditioner that is hydrating :)
Nigelle ER
did ur hair fall off? I did Japanese straightening a year ago and I have lost a lot of hair . I am nervous to do it again.
Rania Elnaggar nope! No fall out or breakage when I had it done! Thank goodness lol
What is it like with new growth? I remember getting new growth with relaxed hair and it was very hard to manage because first of all my relaxed hair was damaged and my new growth was dry and I would try to straighten it but It never looked right.
Ela Kayembe so far i do have a lot of new growth already, but with the japanese blow out I can straighten my curly parts and it will look the same! My hair straightens pretty well before the treatment so I think that may be why. But I definitely remember when my hair was relaxed it did look a little off. Only thing that sucks is that if I get my hair wet/sweat/etc. then you'll see it really well at my roots /: I will post a video on the new growth and how I am dealing with it! :)
I am sorry Mariah Vivilani I cannot reply directly to you but my salon is located in Bakersfield, CA :) at Essentials Day Spa!
Hi. I loved your hair. I have done the same thing for my hair and now it the second day and i am dying to wash it because it is super oily. Can you please tell me what i should use to stop the oil because i have to go to work tomorrow and i dont think i can go with much oil in my hair :(
Sharareh Nourzad I think you are supposed to wait at least 3 days to wash it so hopefully if you did your treatment still worked! I am sorry I am replying so late I did not see this comment. But I would just use dry shampoo in the meantime. The longer you wait to wash it the faster your hair will get used to the oil and not produce so much. hopefully this helps!
Does anyone know what happened to her I dont see an update video for ber hair....
2much2little 4U hi! My hair is the same! I’ve done two touch ups since these videos I just never get a chance to film!
haiii am planing to go japanese hair straightening... is it fine on indian hair???? and can we apply hair oils after straightening???? and for touch up we should go same salon( 1st time hair straightening) or we can go any other branded saloon any where??? please reply me.... Thanks in advancr
Yes, you can do it on Indian hair, providing that it isn't severely damaged and/or hasn't been chemically treated via bleach, certain dyes, or previously relaxed anf still hasn't grown out. If you're unsure, just ask stylist ahead of time.
You can use oil on hair, but nothing with henna or the like, and generally you don't wash or put anything on your hair for about 3 days after the treatment (it can't get wet). There are loads of FAQs on maintenance if you search for it. You'll definitely want SLS-free hair products and to regularly deep condition.
For touchups, it's up to you on where to go, but I'd go to the same person who did iut the first time if they know what they're doing. If you decide to have a touchup elsewhere, defo keep track of what they're using and the strength, etc. Nowadays, there are salons that specialize in it far more than even two years ago. Just make sue to research and read customer reviews.
What state are you in? I'm in San Diego and trying to find a good salon that I go to to get my hair done too
Sarah Drayton I'm in California as well! I would definitely go straight to the Yuko website and search for a salon through them directly! That way you are sure that you find a stylist who has been trained. Good luck! So sorry for the late reply!
I was going to a place in Riverside and loved the guy/owner who did it there (am also mixed, making it hard for me to find a good stylist), Accents Color and Hair Salon. I forget his name at the moment, but he was really good and into the science of hair and the chemicals he was using. Because I live in San Diego and don't make it to that area often, I eventually got tired of the trek though lol.
"Min-Japanese Permanent Straight Perm" in San Diego, listed on Yelp (sadly no website), is supposed to be really good, if not the best in SD County, short of one another who is supposedly ridiculously expensive lol. I've not tried her yet, but planning to soon.
How do you sleep on the hair without creasing it?
geezerhamster I just laid on my side and made sure my hair was flat against the pillow! I don't sleep crazy at all so whatever position I'm in I'll stay lol I also made sure the a/c was on so I wouldn't get too hot
is it healthy for the hair ! love you so much dear !!!
Yasmine Benhara thank you so much, love you too!!! I definitely don't think it can be safe for the hair but I will say this has done the most minimal damaged out of any hair straightening treatment I've tried. I had little to no breakage and my hair is still super smooth and silky even after all this time :)
thank you so much baby . I don t like the straight hair so much , but I think my curly hair is not toooo bad and I must like it hhhhh you re so sweeeeet and sorry for my english I m new speaker
Hey!..do you mind sharing where u got it done?..
+sariiah lee Absolutely! I got it done in Bakersfield CA at Essentials Day Spa by Jill, she's great!
kitty!!!
Who much did pay for it?!!
How is your hair now? Is it still straight like in the first week after you got the treatment? I really want to do it but I don't want to end up with really dry and damaged hair ):
your hair doesn't get damage by it... its nice an health all the time:)
still straight! besides the growth that I now have, I will be filming an update video very soon! My hair is not damaged though, still looks the same! :)
pretty much what she said ^👆👆☝ :)
+jilianraeee I'm wondering how it doesn't damage cuz don't they use like chemicals that can have bad side effects? Or cuz hair fall? Hope to hear a reply cuz I want to get this done but I'm a bit scared that I will lose my hair oh and i straighten my hair like everyday so is it still safe to get this done?
+Winter Falls your hair doesn't fall out from it you just have to get it done the right way and it's fine that your hair is straightened a lot it doesn't damage it over in the product at all just make sure you don't have any chemicals in it for 6 months before you get the treatment so that means no coloring your hair no relaxers or perm in your hair but other than you'll be perfectly fine
Can you still dye your hair after you get the treatment, as in the same day?
You can definitely get your hair dyed but I believe you have to wait a certain time frame before they'll want you to dye it! I dyed my hair black a couple months after my treatment but if I wanted to go lighter she seemed a little concerned so they would probably advise against bleaching but definitely talk with a hairstylist who does this treatment and see what they recommend :)
OK. My stylist seemed leery about doing my hair since it is ombre purple and the ends have been bleached.
+Jillian Martinez yeah when bleach is involved it is more difficult because the hair has been stripped so adding this would probably either make those pieces fall out or it won't take as well/: I will be sticking to dark hair dyes because of this!
Can you wash your hair and it still stays straight?
Xx KawaiiAngelSim xX yes! :) I have an update video showing what I use when I wash it and what it looks like when it's air dried! It isn't stick straight though, more of a poofy straight but that's just because of how curly my hair was. If you did this in wavy hair it would be stick straight after a wash :)
jilianraeee Thanks so much for replying!! And I also wanted to ask did it hurt when you got it done? Also how difficult was it for you to sleep on it?
Of course! Thank you for subscribing! :) and the only time it really hurt was when she detangled my hair because It was so curly and when she was going in with a flat iron to make sure she got every single peice, the steam from the flat iron was sooo hot against my scalp! That did make me want to cry lol but I have a pretty tender head
jilianraeee okay, thank you for answering my questions ^-^ I'm even more excited to get mine done next week!!
Are you allowed to curl your hair with this treatment in?
Yep.
Yes you sure are! :) In my whats in my purse video I have my hair curled!
You can also straighten it with a flat iron during the wait if you get an accidental crease.
OMG!!!!!!!!! MY HAIR LOOKS EXACTLY YOUR CURLY HAIR! FINALLY I SAW SOMEONE WITH THE EXACT SAME HAIR AS ME! What age can we permanently straighten hair? I'm 10 and do u think I can permanently straighten my hair? I hope u can reply!
+Hasna Hidayah It is so hard to find that right?!?! I could never find anyone with the hair texture like mine anywhere! And I used to get my hair relaxed around 12 I believe so it would be up to your parents on when they would let you do it!
It really is! It is nice to see that I am not alone with my crazy hair texture! But yes, definitely ask your parents what they think about it. It is definitely possible to get it done young but again once you do it you need to maintain it and get it redone and it can definitely alter your curl pattern over time.
Can you do a update vid and show what your hair looks like after you've washed it? :)
blue_moon yes absolutely! :)
What was it like months after?
I want to do a Japanese straightening treatment but I relaxed my hair about 3,4 months ago so it’s till probably In my hair so I’m going to go for a Brazilian blowout.
Yeah, most won't do it over relaxed hair and aren't supposed to. Because my hair (similar to hers) is pretty resistant and always reverted on professionally-done relaxers, and because most of mine was grown out, I was able to have it done, but it wasn't ideal and I don't recommend it. And severe damage shows like it's lit up in neon when super straight. So definitely baby your new growth while the relaxer bits grow out. After that relaxer grew out and was lobbed off, my hair looked and felt way healthier.
The maintenance is basically the same as relaxed hair, though with emphasis on sulfate-free products similar for color-treated hair types. The results are permanent, minus new growth. I've unintentionally been transitioning (although getting it redone soon) for a year and a half, due to us trying to buy a house and saving money. My ends (well, last 5 or so inches remaining) are still straight to this day, while the rest (new growth) is curly.
It depends on how fast your hair grows, how curly it is (i.e. at the root), and how long you can tolerate straightening any new growth, but nothing beats wash-and-go hair for the first few months -- for me, anyway, which was the only reason I tried it lol. Plus, with good maintenance (i.e. regular deep conditioning and trims), it feels, functions, performs and looks leagues better than relaxer, not to mention the lack of burnt scalp torture by the time it's done. It just takes way longer.
Thankyou that was very helpful
Where is the salon you go to located???
This is the essential day spa in Bakersfield CA :) sorry for the late reply!
Getting my hair done next week, have heard mixed reviews very nervous about it
How exciting!! Don't be nervous as long as you know the stylist working on your hair is properly certified you will be fine! :) Let me know how it goes!! I still need to go in and get my roots touched up lol
+jilianraeee when your roots grow out does your hair start to look weird? Do you go over them with the iron?
+Amanda Kaufman yes unfortunately /: if you look at my second recent video the hair bun is the style I use if I'm not going to straighten my hair because my roots are VERY curly. if I do straighten the root section though my hair still looks great!
+jilianraeee love it!!! Quick question... It's been about three days since I got it done. Do you think it is ok to sweat before the first wash. Or should I wash it and then sweat? Lol
@@amandakaufman3085 I know this is an old post, but replying for new peeps in case they wonder lol: don't sweat/exercise or get it wet for 3 days. Nopes!
can say how much you did pay ?
MyBeautyOfCouture I paid 600 for mine but I also left a tip so around 700, which is A LOT haha. So I definitely recommend saving up for this and being 100% it is what you want. It can be a lot cheaper than that but my hair almost touches my butt and it was extremely curly. Thanks for the question!
Mixed girl tag video please?
giselle B will do! Hopefully I can get it up this week! Thanks for the comment!
awwwww sweets silly kitties =^_^= =^_^=
fab hair, I'm only 1000€ away from getting it down lmao
