Japanese Hair Straightening

I bet you got annoyed about using the flat iron each morning, so here's a longer lasting hair straightening technique that will help you out in the everyday styling. Also called as yuko straightening, or thermal reconditioning, the Japanese hair straightening is one of the most long lasting ones at the moment. It takes from 2 to 6 hours to get it, but it lasts about one year. The procedure time depends on the hair's length and type.
