Permanent Yuko Hair Straightening
YUKO Hair Straightening System
Yuko hair straightening is an excellent
alternative to hot irons and it can turn damaged hair into healthy
glossy hair. Yuko is highly favoured by professionals and
celebrities; it actually restores damaged hair, straightens frizzy
curly and wavy hair, leaving a radiant shine and very natural
healthy finish.
Yuko hair straightening system is a
chemical process that permanently straightens your hair. It smoothes
curly, dry, unruly hair permanently with a revolutionary
straightening system that uses heat to restructure the hair's
protein bond. The result is smooth, sleek, shiny, straight,
regenerated hair that will be a real 'head-turner'.
Yuko System was born in Japan, as was Ms.
Yuko Yamashita, who created the system in 1996 with the intent "to create a
non-coating, straightening system that uses the heat oxidation
process to seal in and rebuild hair from the inside out."
It is a permanent hair straightening system
which works on most hair types and leaves your hair straight glossy
smooth and straight. Compared to straightening irons which have to
be used nearly every day to create straight hair, the Yuko system
lasts between 6 and 12 months and only needs to be redone when you
have significant hair growth. Your hair has to be at least 4 or 5
inches long for the system to work and can be done on coloured hair.
The protein-based professional Yuko System
uses heat iron to seal in moisture then relies on the hair's small
amount of "living body electricity" to cut off the hair's cystine
bone, reshaping it to appear straight. Heat consolidates the
straightening process - REPAIRING and REGENERATING hair.
The shine and softness are evident. Salon
professionals and the customer both love the system's results. This
goes against the notion that straightened hair is damaged hair: the
result is hair that can breathe from a lack of coating, and a hair
shaft that is rejuvenated for the first time.
The process can take anywhere from 3 to 5
hours depending on the length and condition of the hair. The cost
can be anywhere between £300 to £600. The success of this treatment
is very dependant on the expertise of the hairdresser performing it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the Yuko Permanent
Hair Straightening System work?

reshapes the bonds by straightening the processed cell with a

straightens the hair.

consultation. We have the experience and education to tailor the

Q: Is coloured hair suitable for YUKO straightening?
A: Generally yes it is. We recommend that if hair is going to be
coloured, it is done at least two weeks before or two weeks after
the straightening is done. Highlighted hair may or may not be
suitable. Highlighted Hair is considered to be damaged Hair
regardless of it's strength or appearance. Straightening this hair
type of hair requires specialized skills and special chemicals. We
are very experienced in working with highlighted and over-processed
hair. In any case the condition of the hair should be assessed by a
stylist before the straightening is done. So yes, highlighted Hair
may be Straightened.
Q: What is the youngest age a person can use the YUKO SYSTEM?
A: It is safe for a child as young as twelve years old to use the
process (child has to be accompanied by a parent).
Q: Can senior citizens use the YUKO SYSTEM?
A: YES! The system is processed the same on aged hair but performs
just as beautifully.
Q: Is it safe to use this revolutionary hair straightening
system?
A: The system has been tested in three continents: Asia, Europe and
the USA. It is safe for children over age 12 and for seniors as
well!
Q: How long does the YUKO straightening last?
A: The hair that receives straightening will remain straight
permanently. However, newly grown hair will again have natural curl.
I recommend that you receive a touch-up treatment every six months,
but the exact interval will vary depending on the degree of curl and
length of the hair.
Q: How often will I need to redo the Hair Straightening?
A: The average length of time between Hair Straightening services
may vary but it's around 6 months. Your unique hair texture, speed
of growth, and ability to work with the new growth will ultimately
determine the length of time for you. Hair straightening retouches
are done to the new-growth only. On some rare occasions it will be
necessary to re-treat the previously Straightened Hair.
Q: How long does YUKO straightening take?
A: Usually between 3 - 4 hours but very long or dense hair may take
longer.
Q: Will I still have to blow dry my hair?
A: After having YUKO straightening you will be able to 'wash and
go'. Once re-growth occurs you may find it necessary to style the
new growth.
Q: How long will it take me to style my Straightened Hair?
A: The average curly Hair client spends at least thirty minutes
styling their Hair. After Hair Straightening most clients can
achieve their desired style in ten minutes or less. This time may
increase slightly as your new Hair grows back, but should never take
as long as your pre-straightened time.
Q: Will I still have frizz after Hair Straightening?
A: Probably not! Frizz is caused by various lengths of Hair which
are wavy or curly, bending outward. Various lengths of Straightened
Hair lay parallel to each other and usually go unnoticed.
Q: How long before and after Hair Straightening may I colour my
hair?
A: It's advised that you not receive ANY chemical service two days
prior or two days after Hair Straightening.
Q: Will I still need to use a Hair Straightening iron?
After straightening, you will no longer need a flat iron to achieve
Straight Hair. As individual styles my differ, some clients choose
to use a Straightening iron to polish their hair or to achieve a
desired style.
Q: Does Yuko System Hair Straightening really improve Hair
condition?
A: Yes, in most cases. In addition to a Hair Straightening system,
Yuko System is a Thermal Reconditioning and repair system. By fusing
proteins into the hair thermally, the Hair is strengthened
internally while the cuticle layers are pressed smooth providing
increased shine and softness.
Q: I've heard of some stylists breaking the Hair off during or after
the Hair straightening. How can I avoid such this situation?
A: Unfortunately this has happened to some. Choosing a skilled and
experienced Hair Straightening technician is the best insurance for
you. Breakage usually occurs following the service as a result of
stylist errors. Our experience, knowledge of chemicals, proper
assessment of the client's Hair and careful approach in high risk
situations insures that damage is not a concern. FYI - Be sure to
find out how many Hair Straightening your stylist has performed and
how long they have been doing it. You certainly don't want to be
part of their "learning curve".
Q: Is there anything I shouldn't do with my hair after having it
straightened?
A: For 48 hours after having the straightening done you should
avoid doing anything with your hair that you would not want to
remain there, e.g. crimps from rubber bands, clips and hats. You
should not wash your hair for the first 48 hours after the
straightening. You should not colour your hair for at least 2 weeks
after having the straightening done. You are encouraged to
smooth your Hair after sleeping as well. After the first 48 hours
you may do anything you wish with your new Hair.
Q: Will my hair be flat after the Hair Straightening service?
A: Yes! Finally. For the first few weeks your newly Straightened
Hair may be a bit flat. However, after just a few weeks of new
growth you will enjoy some volume on top while maintaining smooth,
sleek ends! Your newly Straightened Hair will still respond to the
use of heat and tools such as curling irons and round brushes.
Therefore, you may achieve a curly or wavy style on occasion should
you choose.
Q: Are there special products to use following the Hair
Straightening?
A: It is a good idea to use the prescribed home care products
following the service in order to maintain the condition of your new
shiny, reconditioned, Straightened Hair. We shall be happy to
recommend a product that will be suitable for your hair type and
condition.
Q: How much does Permanent Yuko Hair Straightening cost?
A: We like to keep our Hair Straightening prices at a flat rate. We
don't start low and raise it once we see you. Also, we are not out
to compete in a price war with less expensive and less talented
stylists. We aren't out be to be the cheapest nor the most expensive
and there are many stylists out there who charge less and some who
charge more. Our prices are at the industry standard for a beginner.
Obviously we are anything like beginners, we are experts, so we
charge what we think is fair considering our skill level is worth so
much more. What's a £50 savings if your hair gets ruined? Hair
Straightening is always £160, even for a retouch, due to the fact
that Straightening the re growth is just as time consuming (about 4
hours) as the initial Hair Straightening. On some rare occasions,
like in the case of extremely long/dense hair, the cost could
increase by no more than £50. Drew has only charged this additional
amount a handful of times.
Q: How long will it take to get an appointment?
A: Usually a week or two. Saturdays book a little further out
because most of our clients work or go to school. Some people don't
want to wait that long but we want to bring to your attention that
any stylist who has four hours to spare to Straighten your Hair at a
moments notice is probably someone who is not in demand and you
probably don't want to be the one to find out why? Plan ahead.
Q: Do these answers apply to any other stylist?
A: No!!! For one reason, another Hair Stylist may shy away from
straightening colour treated or over-processed Hair. Also, Yuko
System is a tool and is only as good as the person using it!!
Q: What other names are used to describe Japanese Hair
Straightening?
A: Japanese Hair Straightening, Japanese Straightening, Bio Ionic
Hair Retexturising, Thermal Restructuring, Rebonding, Thermal
Reconstruction, Liscio Japanese Hair Straightening, Shiseido
Crystallizing, Liscio Hair Straightening, Thermal Reconditioning,
Ionic Straightening, Japanese Straightening, Japanese Style Hair
Straitening, Yuko Hair Straightening and Yuko System.
Q: Why are the old type of relaxers so damaging?
A: Most relaxers contain corrosive ingredients such as Sodium
Hydroxide, Potassium Hydroxide, Lithium Hydroxide, Calcium Hydroxide
etc. These ingredients corrode the hair to the point where it is
able to be changed to a straight look. These products leave the hair
feeling like straw and the curl comes back after an often short
period of time. Appointments:
