Japanese Permanent Hair Straightening

Hey guys! As you can see, we're back at
NALU hair salon again. THE FRIZZ MONSTER IS BACK. So today I'm going to do the Japanese permanent
hair straightening which means your hair will be straight forever,
until it grows out. I can't wait to try it.

Let's go! NALU hair salon~ Hello
Hello! What's your hair like right now? Fluff levels are high again. Yeah, it's pretty fluffy. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu A while ago I did an ultrasonic hair treatment at NALU
that left my hair super silky and straight for about three weeks. I loved it, but the results didn't last too long and so they said if I did the permanent hair
straightening, my hair would basically look like that all the time even just air drying it after a shower.

So I've really been wanting to try that out, so that's what
I did this time. I'm going to start with the treatment. How does permanent straightening work? The shape of your hair shaft is determined by disulphide
bonds. If those bonds are unevenly distributed you'll have non-straight or curly hair.

By applying a chemical treatment
and breaking those bonds we use a straightener to realign the bonds
to the correct position, and then apply another chemical treatment to reseal
the bonds. Thus permanently altering the shape of your hair. Go ahead and touch it. Is it soft? When you do permanent hair straightening with heat your hair becomes kind of hard and feels a little rough.

But since we do hair treatment at the same time, your hair won't feel hard or rough. I LOVE IT. Thank you so much! Not at all, thank you. BEFORE.

AFTER Lookit! Look at this!
This is insane. Why don't you shake your head? Should I do high speed? Yeah yeah
Let's do it. So this is NALU hair salon. It's the same place we went to last time.

I'll put the link down in the description box
if you want to come here yourself. Apparently people are coming here because of
our videos. There's one over there! Hi :D
Hello! Okay, so it's been almost two months since I did the
permanent hair straightening and I just got out of the shower, as you can see. My hair is super wet still.

Even in the time of me just setting up this camera
and doing a little bit of makeup, my bangs have dried a little bit. But anyway, I'm going to do a time lapse for you today and show you what it looks like to have your hair
JUST air dry after doing the permanent hair straightening, which is what I've been doing this entire time
since I got it. I haven't put in any oils, I haven't gone back for any more treatments, I haven't done anything special to it. Just shampoo and conditioner every day.
I've never straightened it.

I just go to sleep with my hair wet and then wake up
with perfect, straight hair every single time. So I'm going to do a time lapse today and show you
guys what it's like. It's gonna take me like three hours. This much hair takes a little while to dry.

And there's only one thing I can think of that would
make me okay sitting in the same exact position for three hours straight. Did I not get this? Oops All right guys, take care of him! Let's get to it! So I'm finally done with the time lapse. To tell you the truth, that's actually the third time lapse
I tried. I tried three different days because turns out it takes a really, really long time for my hair to
actually, completely dry by air.

Usually I just sleep most of it off during the night. So this time I used a fan to help it along the way. It still took a few hours BUT it's finally, actually dry this time. And this is what it looks like! So, just air drying.

Two months after permanent hair straightening. It's super soft and silky feeling. Like I haven't even brushed it. I could brush it but I don't even really need to because it's just so flowy, soft.

It's not knotting, getting knotted by itself at all. So if you ever wondered what the secret is to
super straight, non-frizzy hair, this is it! It's permanent hair straightening. I don't know why people don't talk about it more. I'm sure a lot of people actually do it.

Ever since I started mentioning it I've heard other
people say that they do it. So I'm just thinking back to all the time I spent
making videos with my crazy frizzy hair getting out of control and stuff and why, why did it take me so long to do this? I think it cost about $180 where I did it. I've heard that you may need to start touching up
the roots around 6 months afterward because your hair will grow out a little bit and it'll be more noticeably frizzy on top than it is down
on the bottom. But I'm not there yet.
I'll let you guys know when I get there! So this is basically the best thing that's ever
happened to my hair.

This is like as low maintenance as you can possibly get. So if this is the kind of hair you want to have
then I highly recommend doing this. I'll keep you guys updated when I get to the point where I
need to go back for touch ups and stuff. But yeah.

Thank you guys for watching! Bye!.

Japanese Hair Transformation

My hair, exactly! Today I'm going to change my hairstyle! Which basically as a girl it means, I'm going to change my entire
personality and spiritual being. Right now my hair is bleached
and has extensions in it. Because I thought that... Long blonde hair is the 'thing' I have to do.

Because that is like the ultimate.. It's the pinnacle of attractivity? But then I realized that I am me! And just because some people say that long blonde hair is the ultimate attractive hairstyle, doesn't mean that I feel comfortable with it or that it is the best hairstyle for me. Soo~ I've decided to go back to my roots again, and dye my hair dark brown and straighten it. And with straightening I mean Shukumo Kyoysei.

Which is Japanese for straight permer... Perm? Parm? Parmer?? Parmesan? But before we make a trip to the hair salon, I will have to remove my extensions. Super easy to remove at home with some nail polish (remover) and cotton pads. So we're gonna put some nail polish on that cotton pad, then hold it onto the seal..

Wait a few seconds... We should be able to peal off the seal without problems... *Sounds of pain* Hell no... We go to the hair salon right now! So I arrived a bit too early, which means we'll have time for um...

Afternoon snack! This is a stand, which has squid fried noodles. And not only that but also squid pancakes. I think I'm gonna try a squid pancake. *Nom* Its a really really squishy pancake.

Its almost like the pancake itself contains the hidden squishyness of a squid. And it tastes so good! Japanese foods can have like the weirdest names ever, but it's literally my most favorite cuisine in the world! Wow~ The weather is so great today ^^ I have made my journey to the hair salon. My glasses have its own little tray. I'm also currently spamming Manaki with attractive pictures of myself~ So the first part of the straightening treatment has been applied and it looks like this.

Yay~ I got black coffee~ This is a fancy cup holder. I imagine this is what hobbits would use. In a... Good sense.

They really like Justin Bieber in this place... What's the next step after straightening? The next step is hair dye. In order: straightening, hair dye and treatment. Look~ My hair is so straight now! I can like, never ever get it this straight with just the straightening iron.

Even if I get it to my maximum hair straightness, it goes back to it's wavy voluminous form in like... Like half a day! Again, it's super annoying and super time consuming! We're getting ready for coloring~ I feel like already this... Dark paste smeared on my head looks better than the color before. I don't know, but I just prefer darker hair on myself~ They couldn't take off the extensions and I will have to go to the store where I got the extensions to take them off.

Which is horrible... Maybe it's quite obvious...? Alright, It's time to wash off the hair color!~.
