You dream of having the hair smooth like chopsticks, but do not know how to do it? We told you about the famous smoothing, Brazilian, Japanese. The names get tangled and you wonder which one to choose. And above all, how to differentiate between all these methods? GirlsFromMainStreet.com has therefore learned about the subject and offers you to take stock of existing smoothing techniques, and their various contributions.
The differences :
- The Brazilian smoothing: this smoothing is rather considered a care that helps blow dry. Its purpose is not to relax your hair, but to relax, for easier and faster smoothing. Care to repeat every three to six months, for hair healthy, soft and silky. This is not a permanent smoothing. What sets it apart from other methods. Estimated time for this treatment: 1h30 to 2h.
- Japanese smoothing: it is here a permanent smoothing, which gives a smooth and shiny aspect to the hair. No need to repeat the operation every month to keep this record. However, the roots and curb of the face should be touched up approximately every six months. It is also possible to associate a Brazilian smoothing Japanese smoothing, to cure the hair. Estimated time for this treatment: 4 hours.
