Japanese Hair Rebonding and Straightening Treatment - Permanent Crystallizing Straightener (1EX) with Neutralizing Cream (2) for Very Resistant Hair, Includes Hair Brush

I bought this in order to do a Japanese straightening treatment at home and it worked out perfectly! My hair type is 3c-4a and I have short hair. I ended up using a little over half of each step. I did my own research and left each step of the treatment for about 25 minutes. I've read a few comments stating that this product didn't work for them and I would like to suggest that before you do a treatment like this to do your own research. If this treatment isn't done to a T, then it's not going to give the desired results. That includes the strength you choose, the products you use during (shampoos, hair masks, etc) and even how long the product is left in for. I've uploaded a full video on youtube about the process and what steps I took that worked for me (my youtube is 悦子Etsuko so go check it out!). All of that aside, it turned out amazing and my hair is pin straight. It's been 2 days since I've done this treatment and I'm super happy with the results. My hair has not gotten poofy, plus it looks and feels super healthy!

So I’m fairly positive this is the same solution I typically spend $400+ and 5+ hours at a salon for. Start with freshly washed hair, shampoo, no conditioner, and no products after it has been washed. This product will melt your hair if it is previously lightened. Please be careful Apply step 1 generously in thin layers, make sure you pull the hair straight as you are putting on the solution I let mine sit for about 10 minutes but I should have done it a little longer Rinse out step 1, make sure there is none left in your hair Blow dry and straighten your hair.. Again no extra products! Once your hair is as straight as possible add in step 2 Let sit for about 5 minutes Then shampoo and condition your hair Blow dry your hair… now you can add products Do not put your hair up or do anything that could cause a dent for the 72hrs following this

Used this to touch up my Japanese Straight Perm I had done professionally. The instructions obviously aren’t in English because it is a Japanese product but they are still easy to find online. Multi-use in one product, I have already used this twice and still have a lot of product left.

It doesn’t work even though my hair is not resistant AT ALL. My hair is wavy not curly. Despite this, this product didn’t straighten my hair. For the people on the comments, please be honest, don’t take photos of your hair right after the treatment. Take photos of your hair after you wash out the treatment (2 days or more after the treatment) and without using any thermal hairstyler. I have followed the same exact instructions on the product itself and the instructions on the comment, unfortunately this product wasted my time and money.

I have high thick porosity 3b/3a curls, mid length. this particular product is specifically for the hair type and it worked VERY well. kind of hard for a beginner especially with the back of the head, so i recommend that you get someone to help distribute product in thoroughly and QUICKLY! do the straightener bag EX1 step in a well ventilated environment, it has a sulfur/rotten egg smell like color oops hair remover and speaking of, it does remove hair color too so if you have freshly dyed hair. the neutralizer does help with the smell but it would probably stay in your hair for a few washes. after first wash after the neutralizer it stayed straight, no curls, some light waves. it DID fry my ends a little bit and had to give myself a split end cut. overall would probably buy this again.

I have really frizzy, curly hair, so getting a straight perm at the salon usually costs me over $400. This time, I tried buying the product myself for the first time. My husband helped apply the treatment and used a flat iron, and honestly, it turned out even better than when I get it done at the salon! I’m planning to keep using this from now on. Of course, results may vary depending on your hair type, but for me, it worked amazingly well—I’m super happy with it!

Will apply the product and post pictures after first application, after blow dry, after straightening, after cream and after air drying (I don’t want straight hair just want to tame my frizzy hair a bit!). Update : As you can see I did section my hair during the first application, make sure every strand is saturated, left it on for about 20 minutes in the back 10 in the front then rinsed it off with cold water no shampoo. Once rinsed the hair did seem straight but that’s also how my hair usually looks when it’s wet so I didn’t notice much of a difference. When I blowdried it however (revlon brush, no heat protectant, no products at all) I did notice my hair getting lighter and not in a good way it was very brittle and rough which I expected since I am putting chemicals in my hair but not to this extent. I also noticed it stripped a good bit of my black dye so keep that in mind if you have coloured hair. ALSO while drying one half of my hair the other half got more and more frizzy as it air dried (more frizzy than it usually is even). I then straightened it before applying the second treatment (didn’t section this time but did focus more on the part that I felt needed more help) and rinsed once again and this time I did apply leave in conditioner and some hair oil before wrapping it to sleep. I will definitely do a deep conditioning hair mask next time I shampoo my hair (2-3 days) and maybe even an oil bath because it needs it badly. Also i did do this with dirty hair (waited a week for my hair to be properly oily just in case).

Worked well and straightened my hair but the instructions weren't in english. I could only use it twice as my hair is really thick, but it worked. I feel like they should have included how many times it can be used or the amount of gel is in the bags but other than that, everything was good! It's also quite time consuming and you need a hair straightener aswell so if you're considering buying but don't have one then well there's that
