Hello from melco HairDesign Okinawa!
“My hair is so thick and full that it still looks puffy even after I dry it.”
“My waves are strong, so I’m worried that hair straightening might make my hair look too stiff or unnatural.”
We hear concerns like these quite often.
Okinawa is especially humid, so people with thick, high-density hair can easily experience extra volume, frizz, and a rough texture caused by their natural waves.
This time, we would like to introduce a client who had never had hair straightening or hair color before and tried Coconut Hair Straightening®︎ for the first time.
Our client had slightly thick, resilient hair with a firm texture that tends to repel water.
When wet, the wave pattern became clearly defined. Because she also had a lot of hair, she was concerned about overall puffiness, a rough feel, and tangling toward the ends.
With this type of hair—strong, resilient hair with pronounced waves—simply using a stronger chemical solution does not guarantee a beautiful straightening result.
Every step of the process matters.
The straightening solution needs to be applied evenly without missing any areas, and the hair must be rinsed thoroughly so that no chemical residue remains.
The hair also needs to be dried evenly—without over-drying it, but without leaving excess moisture behind.
During the ironing process, we take fine sections according to the strength of the waves and carefully apply the necessary heat so that it reaches the inside of the hair.
By performing each step carefully and precisely, we can straighten even strong waves while avoiding a stiff, unnatural finish.
The result is smooth, silky, moisturized hair with a soft and natural feel all the way to the ends. 🥥
We also finished the service with our Recrystallization Treatment, which helps create a better foundation for maintaining the hair’s smooth texture.
This time, we also combined the straightening service with a haircut to create an easy-to-manage straight hairstyle.
It was her very first Coconut Hair Straightening treatment.
When she touched her finished hair, she said:
“Wow! I didn’t know my hair could change this much!” ✨
We were so happy to see her reaction.
“I have too much hair, so I guess there’s nothing I can do.”
“My waves are too strong, so beautiful straight hair probably isn’t possible for me.”
If you have ever felt this way, please feel free to consult with us at melco HairDesign Okinawa.
We carefully assess both your hair type and the strength of your waves, and aim to create smooth, manageable hair while keeping unnecessary stress on the hair to a minimum.
