trying to get my hair healthy enough so i can do this! looks so beautiful

[@hunxue7778]

:D thank you so much, guarantee you'll LOVE it if you like straight hair!

[@ieshacoleman9329]

Yay so glad to see your hair is healthy and strong still after these treatments thanks for updating because I’m really considering getting this and this has helped me make my decision lol new subbie!

[@hunxue7778]

Yay! I'm so glad I could help :D I hope you love your results!!

[@tlibrary2741]

Hair grows like wildfire with this treatment and this is your 3rd retouch. Your hair was nice length before, but now it's amazing. Love it!

[@hunxue7778]

:) it really does grow super well this treatment! And thank you so much

[@nialikesnia2165]

I’ve been binging ur videos, I love you!!

[@hunxue7778]

:'D omg thank you so much! LOVE YOU TOO!

[@KnijMagz]

@@hunxue7778 I am trying to get as much info on this process as much as possible. You hair looks great here... I must say I just don't like how they expose the already "treated" hair to excess heat. I wonder when they are doing the retouch could they apply the chemical blow dry and straighten (only the new growth), apply the neutralizer, then straighten it all out? I feel that that would be better than exposing the weaker pre-processed hair to more heat.

[@triciajerome470]

Your hair is goals! Love ya😍😘

[@hunxue7778]

:') thank you so much!!

[@KeyJKandy]

It's been 4 months since I got my Japanese straight perm. My hair hasn't grown significantly, but it's getting there! About your length is my goal. Once I hit six months I need to decide if it's time for a touch-up! Anyway, great video as always!

[@hunxue7778]

Maybe try some collagen powder? Or a multivitamin! Might give your hair a little growth spurt if you're missing out on vitamins :) And thank you so much! :D

[@missl849]

Its hard to see the growth if their is bew growth. Im sure once its touched up you will be suprised by the growth

[@happyhappy685]

Is it easy to find a Japanese salon that can do it? I found one and they do those treatments But I'm scared they won't be able to handle my hair texture

[@KeyJKandy]

@@happyhappy685 It depends on where you are. I was lucky in finding a salon near me through a different KZbinr. The salon is actually Korean, but they do the Japanese treatment there. I'm pretty sure I have 4C hair, but it was dyed before I got my treatment done so my stylist used a less harsh version of the treatment. I have had no issues and my stylist was able to treat my hair. He had a lot of experience with all hair types.

[@relaxedhair3521]

Wow. They did an amazing job🙂😊. Thanks for sharing this, its very detailed. This makes me want to just spend the money and get this treatment😂😂.

[@hunxue7778]

They're always super good at HK! I love that salon :D You're so welcome! lol Honestly it's so worth it!

Hi I have to go in October for my touch up so this was very informative thanks!

Absolutely stunning such a great alternative to a regular relaxer we shouldn't have to suffer for our hair. LOVE IT GIRL XXXXX

[@hunxue7778]

Thank you so much!

[@jenniferfletcher754]

So pretty

[@hunxue7778]

Thank you!

[@sweetdreamer2009]

I really appreciate you documenting your journey. Can hardly find anyone that uses this type of chemical whether for straight hair or curly (perms I mean). Do you know what brand straightener your salon uses? And at what strength? Did you all have a discussion about that?

[@hunxue7778]

Thank you! I'm glad they're useful to someone haha :) Yes! They use the Milbon Liscio brand. I don't know what strength they use, I assume is a strong one since my hair was completely virgin and type 4. Our discussion was mostly focused on if they've done afro-textured hair before and whether or not I've had any other process in my hair to ensure I wouldn't get any damage since you've got to be really careful if you have dye or anything in it.

[@sweetdreamer2009]

@@hunxue7778 oh awesome. I always wonder about them defaulting to the strong brands for our hair types because my hair is def 4bc but the strands are fine and fragile. I'm sticking it out natural for a while yet but I love info gathering for the future.

[@hunxue7778]

@@sweetdreamer2009 I think they'll feel through your hair before deciding on the strength! Or at least I hope so haha At this salon they felt my hair and detangled it before mixing and bringing out the solution, so maybe that was the "evaluation" part?

[@cocoaicci_]

Did they wash your hair and then blow dry it before they applied the first straightening cream? Or did they apply it to dirty hair? Im planning on doing this process myself so im trying to make sure that I get all the steps right.

[@takilove3566]

You wash your hair first

[@polyguritzu]

I have like "4z hair" extra course,combs snap lots of breakage from combs, will this help me?, BTW love you.

[@hunxue7778]

:') omg I love you too!

[@polyguritzu]

@@hunxue7778 thanks so much! I will take your advice and find someone that knows how to work with afro textured hair! .

[@polyguritzu]

@@hunxue7778 So I got it done it went well,but I noticed my hair is very stiff like when I leave it in a certain position like a ponytail or so it creates dents or it's very stiff,and stays in that position.When I first got it done it was very bouncy,and sily,;but I have low porosity hair what should I do?

[@callmekelly9514]

@@polyguritzu hey does it burn like a relaxer?

[@polyguritzu]

@@callmekelly9514 what do you mean?

[@mythings5380]

Hey girl! I know this video is semi-old but I was just wondering would you have considered your natural hair coarse/thick, average or thin? Thinking about getting a perm but I don't know how flat mine can get

[@hunxue7778]

Hi! I'd consider my hair average, it definitely flattens it waaaay out haha

[@youloveambure]

How long have you been doing this? How is your hair now? Do you have regrets? Thanks for sharing

[@hunxue7778]

I've been doing it for about a year and a half, since July 2018! My hair is doing really well now :D I've reached my length goal, so now I want to focus on getting the shape I want. And absolutely no regrets so far! :) I love the perm!

[@youloveambure]

Nice looks great on you. Thanks for replying

[@sissamy1802]

How much time does it take for the hair to get back a little volume? Also I heard that when the hair gets wet it gives off a strong chemical odor, is that true? Im really considering this or locs for my natural hair. Thanks!

[@hunxue7778]

After about a month my hair isn't so flat, since I'll have a smidge of new growth. Really?! I haven't heard that. My hair doesn't give off a chemical odor at all, not even after the first wash. Maybe that's with Brazilian keratins, I think I heard that about them? But good luck on whatever you choose! I love locs on women by the way, beautiful~

[@travelingsandy900]

Are you able to apply heat to your hair often? Do you maybe blow dry your hair every time you wash it? Do you straighten your hair for extra straightness once in a while

[@hunxue7778]

I definitely wouldn't apply heat your hair often, that hair stylists told me that's a big reason why some people lose their hair, they continue to use heat on the JSP part of their hair when you should only be using it on your roots when they're growing out. But you can blow dry your hair! I don't do it every time, I do it maybe once or twice a month if I need my hair to dry quickly and I use low heat :) And no I don't straight my hair at all (only the grown out roots) because it stays super straight!

[@bananabread112]

is your hair naturally light brown? so pretty!

[@hunxue7778]

It is! And thank you so much :'D

[@hawibedane599]

How much does it cost of do it in the salon? Great video

[@hunxue7778]

It really depends on your hair length and thickness! On average, a touch up for me costed $300. :)

[@diamondsparkle9967]

I wonder where I can find one of these in NY.

[@TheMaryLoo]

What texture is your hair after getting the perm, like I know its straight but what type? 1a, 1b or 1c

[@hunxue7778]

It was bone straight! I'd say 1a ~ 1b

[@ClearlyCat]

What salon do u go to??

[@hunxue7778]

I go to HK Hair and Beauty in Milpitas, CA

[@Lia-Miya949]

Oh my, i live in Minneapolis MN. :-( I might plan a trip next spring. Yessss. Does a client's hair have to be in a perfectly healthy state and wonder if they handle 4 b-c fine hair? It looks thick but it aint! Thanks for any information you might have. Your hair looks fabulous.

[@hunxue7778]

@@Lia-Miya949 My natural hair is 4b! They can definitely do your hair type, it doesn't have to be 100% healthy, but it's best if your hair is virgin when you get it done :) And thank you so much!

Of course not! It's in Milpitas, CA :D

[@tracey-annbrooks976]

What was that white substance she was putting in your hair while washing out the straightening cream? I'm planning to get this done

[@hunxue7778]

Oh, that's either the shampoo or conditioner, she was washing my hair in sections because she wanted to let my front edges process a tiny bit longer :)

[@tracey-annbrooks976]

@@hunxue7778 oh...my impression from all I've read so far was to only shampoo once at the beginning? I did see where a hair treatment can be used though so maybe it was a conditioner? Thanks for replying to my question btw

[@tracey-annbrooks976]

Thanks for all the tips. Successfully got it done 1 week ago and loving the results so far. It was an experiment really, my hairdresser and I have never done it before. She was reluctant to try but I told her if all else fails I can cut it off and go back natural again lolol.
