Products by Liscio
Q: What other names are used to describe Japanese hair straightening?
A: Thermal Restructuring, Thermal Reconditioning, Rebonding.
Q: Why are the old types of Relaxers so damaging?
A: Most relaxers contain corrosive ingredients such as Sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide etc. These products leave the hair feeling like straw and the curl comes back after a short time.
Q: How much does Thermal reconditioning cost?
A: Typically between $300.00 - $800.00 depending on the hair length, and thickness, and the amount of chemical processing.
Q: Why does it cost so much?
A: The process takes 3 to 6 hours on an average head to perform.
Q: When I get the new growth retreated, do they do all the hair again?
A: No, just the new growth is treated. The rest of the hair is protected by a special cream so the solution will not saturate into the previously treated hair.
Q: What will my hair look like after?
A: Your hair will be straight and will feel incredibly soft and silky with more shine.
Q: Will I still need to blow-dry my hair after the treatment?
A: Sometimes yes, but just tussling the hair to get the moisture out. This usually takes 4 to 5 minutes instead of 45 minutes. Some people may not have to at all.
Q: What kind of hair is suitable for Thermal Reconditioning?
A: Most hair types will work well for thermal reconditioning. See your stylist for a consultation.
