How to Get Straight Hair Without a Straightener & Products


Do you have curly, frizzy, unmanageable hair? If so, straightening it and using hair-relaxing products will not do the trick; at least not for an entire day. Keeping your hair straight and smooth can be a difficult, time consuming and expensive task when you are relying on your blow dryer, hair straightener and drug-store products.

Going to a Brazilian hair straightening salon in NYC may save you the hassle and worry for about three months. Brazilian hair straightening is aimed more toward eliminating frizz and producing a healthy shine by locking in Keratin with a hair straightener. Its main objective is not to keep hair pin straight, like Japanese hair straightening; although it does reduce the majority of curls by smoothing out frizzes.

When Brazilian hair treatment is done every several months, there will be a noticeable difference in your hair's manageability, shine, silkiness and health. Treatment could be anywhere from $150-$400 depending on hair length. Though a Brazilian hair straightening salon in NYC may sound expensive, it is actually a really great investment.

Think of how much money you spend on hair relaxers, hair spray, blow dryers, straighteners and other products that you buy in three to four months time in order to achieve smooth hair. Are you satisfied with the outcome of your hair when you use these products? No matter how much product you use and how much time you spend on trying to straighten and relax your hair, the results will not be comparable to Brazilian hair straightening. It is a one time process that will help you avoid your time consuming, daily hair routine.

A professional Brazilian hair straightening salon in NYC can give you that silky, smooth hair that you have always wanted.

Do you know that kind of glimmering hair you always see in shampoo commercials and hair product advertisements? If that is the kind of hair you are looking for, there is no way to achieve that on your own using products and straightening your hair everyday. In fact, using products, blow drying and straightening your hair daily will give you adverse affects and damage your hair.

Save your next pay check and check out a Brazilian hair straightening salon in NYC, like Chen Levi Hair Design. You will have amazing results that will make you ditch your old products and routines.

Japanese Hair Straightening


Every season, hair and beauty trends come and go. One minute everyone is wearing moody nail polish shades like Opi's uber-famous Lincoln Park After Dark. Two blinks and suddenly pastel and neon manicures abound. One day all the girls are coveting Giselle Bundchen's ombre, messy, beachy waves, and the next day smooth, sleek, straight hair is in vogue. Back in the 70's, when girls were squeezing themselves into super tight bell-bottom jeans, they were also doing the (now)unthinkable to their hair: resting their heads on an ironing board and ironing their strands like one might iron a blouse. The things that women did in the name of fashion! Luckily, over the last 40 years, all kinds of technological advances have been made and those archaic methods are a thing of the past. One of the most popular straightening methods of today hails from Japan. The Yuko System for Japanese Hair Straightening At the Manhattan-based Chen Levi NYC Hair Stylist salon, the hair specialists are assiduous in caring for your hair. Here is a look into the involved process:

Hair Analysis: The hairdresser will examine your hair and figure out which process suits you best. Next, he/she will choose from four protector products that will be used to shield your hair from damage before any straightening can happen.

Shampoo: A special shampoo and conditioner will be applied to your hair.

Pre-treatment: A hair protector spray is used in this step. If your hair is already fried then a third protector is used.

Applying Japanese Hair Straightening Solution: Next, a solution is applied to the hair, starting from the nape and staying one inch away from the scalp. Afterwards, a shower cap is put on.

Rinsing Off the Solution: The solution is gently rinsed out, and the hair is shampooed and conditioned all over again.

Ironing: A couple more hair products will be sprayed on before the hair is flat ironed section by section.

Applying Neutralizer: Now a neutralizer is applied to the hair and left on for five minutes.

Rinsing Off the Neutralizer: The neutralizer is removed and more conditioner is applied.
Blow Dry: We've reached the finish line: one more product is sprayed in, then the hair is blow dried and styled.

Onto cost: there is no one set fee for Japanese Hair Straightening. A stylist will have to assess the length and density of your hair to determine a price. As an example, a client with shoulder length hair with medium thickness will be charged around $350. If you just need to touch up your roots, you can expect to pay a great deal less.
