"Hi, my name is Lauren and today I'm going to teach you, tell you how to get a Japanese Thermal hair straightener. We know that a lot of people do a lot of home-hair, Japanese Thermal straightener is not the thing to do at home. You need to go to a salon. Seek out a local salon that has a good reputation in doing them. You have a few different brand names. There is the Bironic-Bionic. There is also the CHI. You can choose, and you could find out which brand name that you'd want. You can also go on the website and research them. Ultimately, what the process of it actually being, where the professional would apply a straightening system on you when your hair is dry and would go from the top of your root to the end of your shift. After that sits, that is the first part, which will actually break down your proteins in order to start the change of your hair. Once that is done, you will rinse all of that out and then the operator will come over and start drying your hair. You, using cold air, up until it's about eighty percent dry. After, now your cuticle has not yet been built up and your hair is in a fragile state, they will once your hair is dry, then section your hair into very small sections and use a flat iron. The reason why this straightener gets your hair so straight is because of the use of the flat iron. They would then go over each section of your hair, little section by little section to make sure you have no lines until it gets that very nice straight iron flat look. After they continue, or after they finish up your entire straightening of your hair. They will then go over your again with a bit, another creamy consistency paste which would be your neutralizer. Your neutralizer will then rebuild your proteins into that very flat, very straight style, and that is how you would get a thermal, Japanese Thermal hair straightener."
