Hello from melco HairDesign Okinawa!
“I color my gray hair regularly, but I’m also concerned about dryness and frizz…”
If you continue both regular gray coverage coloring and hair straightening, you may start to wonder:
“Will straightening cause even more damage?”
“Is it really okay to straighten the ends every time?”
This client is a returning customer who had Coconut Hair Straightening®︎ at melco four months ago.
She colors her gray hair about once a month and occasionally has her entire hair colored as well.
Because of these frequent color treatments, stress had gradually accumulated throughout the hair, and dryness was especially noticeable toward the ends.
At the roots, there were four months of new growth with visible waves and frizz, along with short flyaway hairs around the top of the head.
At the same time, the ends that had been treated with Coconut Hair Straightening during her previous visit were still maintaining a beautiful straight shape.
This is where an important point comes in:
We do not straighten every section of the hair in exactly the same way.
In this case, several different conditions existed within the same head of hair:
- Newly grown sections where the natural texture had returned
- Areas where some of the previous straightening effect had weakened
- Ends that were still smooth and straight from the previous treatment
With Coconut Hair Straightening®︎, we carefully examine each area and adjust both the chemical formula and the amount of heat used with the flat iron according to the hair’s current condition.
In particular, avoiding unnecessary stress on ends that are already beautifully straight is extremely important when continuing hair straightening over many years.
Hair straightening is not simply about making the hair straight.
Especially for hair that is regularly colored or has a history of previous straightening, identifying which areas actually need treatment now can make a major difference in how manageable the hair remains afterward.
After reshaping the frizzy and wavy areas with Coconut Hair Straightening®︎, we finished the service with our Recrystallization Treatment.
The Recrystallization Treatment is designed to form water-resistant crystals inside the hair, creating a foundation that helps at-home conditioners and treatments work more effectively.
Even the ends, which had become prone to dryness from repeated coloring, were left feeling silky, moisturized, and easier to manage.
After the treatment, the frizz at the roots and the flyaway hairs around the crown were noticeably smoother, while the ends remained naturally controlled and soft.
The goal is not simply to make the hair straight.
We aim for hair that falls into place more easily just by blow-drying, making everyday styling simpler and more comfortable.
The client was also very happy with the finished result.
If you are thinking,
“I color my gray hair frequently, so I’m worried about the damage from hair straightening,”
we will carefully check your current hair condition, the areas that have been colored, and the sections that have been straightened in the past before choosing the best approach.
Because hair straightening is a treatment that many clients repeat regularly, it is important to think beyond how the hair looks on the day of the appointment.
At melco HairDesign Okinawa, we aim to build each treatment carefully so your hair can remain beautiful and manageable six months, one year, and even further into the future.
For us, protecting the future condition of your hair is just as important as straightening the frizz you are concerned about today.
