Awesome video! I've had this done to my hair a few times over the years, I had a wonderful experience because I went to a professional but I enjoyed watching your video of you at home doing it yourself. You did a really good job!!
Why do you leave the neutralizer on for 20 mins when on the bottle it says to neutralize for 5 mins? Also I watched a Liscio video where they only neutralized for 5 mins. Also, when you do a root touch up, why do you add neutralizer to all the hair?? I recently did a root touch up and only applied the straightening cream to the top of my head. But I used neutralizer all over my hair because that’s what they did in the Liscio video where they also did a root touch up. The new growth came out super shiny and soft, but the pre-relaxed hair feels so dry and damaged even tho I didn’t add extra relaxer to it. I think it came from the neutralizer because right after I rinsed it is when the mid shaft to the ends felt super dry.
How hot does the flat iron need to be? Like for the keratin treatments that I would do on myself, I remember having to use my BaByliss at 450 degrees, with several passes. How do you do that for this type of straightening treatment?
@@AHLIYON Hi! Thanks for responding! ....I've been using the mild formula, twice so far. I applied it once every 6 months, so it's been a year now. I've noticed that my hair has been breaking and there has been some hair loss--My hair is still long, but I've noticed that its growth seems a bit stalled. I suspect it's cause it's probably very dry. How do you keep your hair healthy and moisturized with the treatment in it? I'm like you when it comes to my hair--I'm lazy with it and I don't like fussing with it much--but I've been applying heat to it a lot since my roots are growing out, which I'm sure isn't helping. How do you keep your roots looking smooth as they grow out? My roots are growing out, and they are thick and curly (I can't stand it!!! lol) ...I'm definitely due for a root touch-up, but I'm afraid to apply more of the treatment--before the hair breakage, I had planned to go up from the mild and use the normal, but now, I'm afraid to do anything. I also color my hair to cover the grays---so I'm at a loss as to what to do....Maybe I should focus on making my hair more healthy with moisturizers, hot oil treatments, etc. You and I seem to have the same hair texture, so I'm wondering what you do to keep it healthy? Thanks! :)
How long did you wait to touch up your roots? I’m about to do this for my hair in a few days and I’m confused as to how often I should be touching up my roots. I’ve seen some say 6 months and others say 3 months.
I just completed my 3rd touch up thanks to your videos and decided to try something different since my results prior to have been ok but not perfect. I washed my hair with dawn dish soap twice to get everything out. Then after getting out of the shower, I put leaving conditioner on all of my hair focusing on the ends and let it air dry. The next day, after my hair was dry instead of making it wet again I decided to add water to the chemical straightening treatment (like me thinking duh if the hair has to be wet why not just make the chemical wet?!) as an experiment and for simplicity. It was actually much easier to apply the chemical to my hair this way. Once I saturated my hair with chemical I covered it with bags and waited 30 mins, then washed off AND instead of using shampoo I saturated my hair with the O hair treatment conditioner and washed it with that then rinsed twice making sure to get all the chemical out. THEN blow dried, straightened, and applied the neutralizing lotion and washed again after 20 mins, once again without shampoo only using the O hair treatment conditioner twice and until the chemical was all washed off and lathered my hair with leave in conditioner. Blow dry again - this is when I noticed the ginormous difference. My hair literally was pin straight like it all had worked perfectly. Did the straightening and now waiting one more day to have 3 days in before I wash. My hair is so freaking flat straight. I have a feeling that this time it will be straighter than on my previous attempts.
Also follow up question for touching up the roots, do you apply anything to the hair that’s already been treated? I’ve seen some saying they put a protecting cream or something to avoid over processing certain parts
hi! when you mentioned applying a treatment towards the end, what treatment did you use? do you think it's okay to just use the straightening cream + neutralizer? i don't know if i should get olaplex just for my roots or not!
Can you tell me where you buy it from, I would like to buy it, however I'm aware there are fake products online, would really appreciate your help, thanks
For the last flat iron of the treatment, do you think if you flat iron your hair differently that style will be the one that sticks (seeing as how it can crease easily in the 72 hour window) or would it still be straight. My thinking is that there's a technique where u straighten the hair in a way that adds volume so if u can maintain that style for the 72 hours then wash the hair when it dries wouldn't you have a volumed look? Hope that makes sense lol
@@reememad1635 Hiii there! The alternate treatment that I used is the Shiseido Crystalizing Straight treatment! You can find it on Amazon! I’m actually going to make a video soon reviewing it so feel free to watch it when it comes out! I hope you’ll be able to find it! ☺️
Is it bad to overlap? I have the japanese treatment on my hair but I'm afraid that I'll overlap and my hair will fall out.... Do you have to be precise when doing a touch up?
I didn't even know you can buy Liscio these days if you're not a licensed cosmetologist! I know that you can buy Shiseido.....these days are different and I'm wondering when Japanese straighteners were suddenly sold to the general public?
hey sis, can you pls tell me why my hair is back to curly after i washed it, which was over a week after i redid it? it was completely straight but after to got out of the shower my hair (not even just to roots) were showing little waves in it ! i don’t know what to do, i want my hair back to straight and i didn’t have this issue the first time ☹️
I pretty much sleep like a statue so it wasn’t difficult for me lmao butttt you could buy a bandana or use some sort of cloth if you think you might need it! But aw yay! Good luck you got this 👏🏽
Hey crystal!! I love watching your videos !!!! I also use this product… my question about this is I just for the first time did it myself and I did it with my barehands lmfao. So I definitely did not get right at the root, I have maybe a couple of centimeters of curly hair. How long should I wait to touch up my roots? I want to do it now but that would make it only 3 days…. Should I wait longer and if so how much longer?
Hi Lindsay!!! Aw thank you so much, I really appreciate that 🥹 honestlyyyy, if you’re looking to only put the product on your virgin roots, I’d say you’re fine to do that whenever you’d like. Just be mindful and try not to put product on the parts you already straightened the first time. (PS I use my bare hands too it’s terrible but they haven’t fallen off yet so I’m like 🤷🏽♀️) lol I’m kidding, try to use gloves babe!! But, yeah I’d say you’re good to go whenever you’d like 😊
Hi! There were still some areas other than my roots that were still wavy that I wanted to make sure ended up straight. I understand why you're nervous but I can answer as many questions as I can!! x
@@xcrystallynn Hi! Before applying the neutralizer, did you also apply straightening cream to those other areas that were still wavy? And how long did you apply it to those areas? Thank you so much!
@@familiewahlshernando6736 Hii!! And yess I did apply the straightening cream to the other areas as well, before the neutralizing lotion. I would say I applied it to those areas for about 20 min, so I waited til my roots were 10 min processed first. Hope this helps! x

350 degrees is efficient enough for JTR JTS.

Can you do a full tutorial where we see how you do everything I wanna do it but I’m scared 🥺

For me, I usually wait until my hair grows out at least an inch and a half before I touch the roots up, so that’s about 3 months
Thank you for the retouch video! Great job!

Did you use anything to protect your previously treated hair? Like conditioner or something
@@Jasmine_882, I did put leave-in conditioner on all my previously treated hair and let it air dry.
Also follow up question for touching up the roots, do you apply anything to the hair that’s already been treated? I’ve seen some saying they put a protecting cream or something to avoid over processing certain parts
Yes Liscio makes a protection lotion you apply to the preciously straightened hair
Hey how about the hairfall??
I couldn’t find the Liscio hair treatment (the small clear bottle) What is a good substitute?
You are sooooooo pretty sis!
Aw thank you so much! That made me smile and I really needed that :)
what was your hair like before the japanese straightening like was it like type 2, 3, 4
Enjoyed your video, what if I use different neutralizer like seshido instead of Liscio?
hi! when you mentioned applying a treatment towards the end, what treatment did you use?

I'm curious about this too. Try and let us know!
Hi there I’m from Egypt and I was wondering if there’s any alternative products cuz I can’t found this one
But like a permanent treatment

Yes your hair might break off
Yes buy the protection lotion that Liscio has. You apply that to the previously straightened hair then apply the straightener to the new growth
Put your regular conditioner on previously straightened hair to separate them and apply the JT on your roots.
Oops The music 🎶 is awesome for this video 🎉❤
Do you think its okay to use the revlon blowdryer brush before straightening instead of actual blowdryer?
Oh yeah! That's exactly what I used lol, it's amazing
I have a question how much it cost to buy the treatment on the store where you buy it at
It costs about $100 altogether
@@xcrystallynn ok thank you

Maybe you should use a stronger formula
what’s your hair type?
@@kenz1748 i think my hair is around 3b/3c but i’m not totally sure
@@p0ltergueiist you probably should have left the product on for a little longer
Does it not dry pin straight on its own or do you have to flat iron it yet you wash it? Not after a touch up I mean, but just on a regular wash day
Mine doesn't dry pin straight, I flat iron it after every wash. It might depend on your hair texture/curl pattern though (I have 4c hair)
What type of hair iron did you use? Ceramic, titanium etc...
Ceramic!
The 🎶 music is n I ce
When you sleep do you have to wrap you hair up after doing this?
Noo you don’t have to, I usually don’t lol
What flat iron do you use?
A knock off version of the Chi! Lol I bought it at Marshall’s
Is it safe for kids??
I want to do this sooo bad but I’m TERRIFIED! Lol
Oh I completely understand, lol so was I. But trust me, it was worth it!
Girl me too
What’s in the spray bottle?
@@fatminamohamed3143 just water! It was to re-wet my hair lol
How do you sleep after this without bending or indenting the hair? Just bought it Bc of you and this video lol
I pretty much sleep like a statue so it wasn’t difficult for me lmao butttt you could buy a bandana or use some sort of cloth if you think you might need it! But aw yay! Good luck you got this 👏🏽
@@xcrystallynn oh okay perfect I sleep in a corpse in a coffin lol thanks !
Hello! What type of shampoo did you use to wash the treatment out of your hair?
I used Suave, Shampoo and Conditioner!
@@xcrystallynn Thank you!
Yassss gurl wana do mine bahahaha. Bruh im like 6 months post up jhs with a sewin in lol.
Do you use a whole packet or can you reuse it every 3 months if that makes sense
You can reuse what’s left over for a later time until it’s gone. Don’t use all the product in one go if you don’t have to.
hi i have a question, can you dye your hair if you have the perm done?
Do you leave the product on for a half hour after it’s applied?
Yes
