What is chemical straightening?

Chemical straightening is a hair treatment that makes use of chemicals that change the hair’s natural structure from curly, wavy, frizzy into much straighter and sleeker hair. The treatment is usually applied like a tint (a block hair colour) and then allowed to processed for the desired length of time.

Most chemical straightening services are similar, utilising similar components that serve a very near identical purpose. More commonly, products like pHrizzy-o-therapy whilst aren’t designed to make hair poker straight, it will reduce frizz whilst allowing you to retain your existing hair texture and curl pattern. They are however kinder to the hair.

Why is chemical straightening so popular?

Very simply, chemical straightening services offer quick results that offer short term gain.

What is the downside to chemical straightening?

Health of hair is really important. The chemical makeup of straightening services isn’t kind to the hair and with repeated or long term exposure can be harmful to health. There is also the consideration of whether you have or are planning to colour hair in the near future. Applying a chemical treatment on top of hair colour can lighten existing hair colour due to the strength of the chemicals which might leave you with an undesirable colour. Additionally if your intention is to colour your hair following a chemical straiaightening treatment, the results might be limited due to your stylist not wishing to compromise the integrity of your hair.
