Hello from melco HairDesign Okinawa!
“My hair doesn’t look extremely curly when it’s dry, but as soon as it gets wet, the waves and curls become much more noticeable.”
Some people have exactly this type of hair.
Okinawa’s high humidity can make this even more noticeable. When the hair absorbs moisture, curls and waves can become stronger, often causing unwanted volume, puffiness, and frizz.
This time, our client had slightly fine hair with curls that became almost perm-like when wet. We performed Coconut Hair Straightening together with our Recrystallization Treatment to create smoother, more manageable hair.
Curls That Become Much More Visible When the Hair Is Wet
This client’s hair was slightly on the finer side.
When dry, some areas did not appear particularly wavy. However, once we wet the hair and examined it closely, noticeable curls appeared from the mid-lengths through the ends—almost as though the hair had been permed.
Her main concerns were overall volume and spreading.
With naturally curly or wavy hair, it can sometimes be difficult to understand the true strength and pattern of the curl simply by looking at the hair when it is dry.
At melco HairDesign Okinawa, we therefore do not judge the hair based only on its appearance. We also check how the hair behaves when wet, the strength of the curl pattern, the condition of the hair, and other factors before selecting the appropriate formula and technique.
The Hidden Curls Inside the Hair Were Creating the Extra Volume
One of the main reasons this client’s hair appeared so voluminous was the curl pattern throughout the inner sections of the hair.
When individual strands bend and overlap with one another, the entire hairstyle can expand outward, making the hair look much fuller and harder to control.
With this type of hair, simply smoothing the surface is often not enough.
If the curls underneath remain, the overall volume and spreading can still be difficult to manage.
For this reason, we performed Coconut Hair Straightening, which works by carefully reshaping the hair itself.
Recrystallization Treatment for Longer-Lasting Smoothness
At melco HairDesign Okinawa, our Coconut Hair Straightening menu includes our Recrystallization Treatment.
Coconut Hair Straightening is used to reshape and smooth unwanted curls, while the Recrystallization Treatment helps create water-resistant crystalline structures inside the hair.
Hair that has been damaged tends to absorb water more easily. By creating a more hydrophobic foundation inside the hair, we aim to bring the texture closer to the feel of healthy hair.
This hydrophobic foundation also helps your regular rinse-out conditioner or treatment adhere more effectively during your daily home-care routine.
The purpose is not simply to make the hair feel beautiful on the day of your salon visit, but to help you maintain that smooth texture more easily in everyday life.
For clients who feel that “salon treatments feel great at first, but the smoothness disappears after only a few days,” melco’s Recrystallization Treatment has become a popular option because of its focus on longer-lasting texture.
Less Volume and Naturally Straight Hair—Even Just by Blow-Drying
After the treatment, the strong curls that had appeared when the hair was wet were smoothed out, and the overall volume became much more controlled.
Coconut Hair Straightening is not designed to leave the ends stiff, flat, or unnaturally pin-straight.
Instead, we aim to preserve softness and elasticity while creating smooth, manageable straight hair.
Even after simply drying the hair, it falls into place more easily, with a silky, moisturized feel all the way through the ends.
Reducing unwanted volume can also make everyday styling much easier.
You Can Shampoo and Curl Your Hair from the Same Day
We are often asked:
“Should I avoid washing my hair on the day I have Japanese hair straightening?”
With Coconut Hair Straightening, you can shampoo your hair from the same day as your treatment.
And choosing straightening does not mean that you have to wear your hair completely straight every day.
You can also use a curling iron and enjoy curled or wavy styles immediately after the treatment.
So if your goal is:
“I want to control frizz and unwanted volume, but I still want to enjoy curls and different hairstyles,”
Coconut Hair Straightening can be a great option.
Having naturally curly or difficult-to-manage hair should not mean giving up on the hairstyles you want to try.
Our goal with Coconut Hair Straightening and the Recrystallization Treatment is to create a smooth, manageable foundation that gives you more freedom to enjoy your hair according to your mood, style, and current trends.
Thank you very much for visiting us!
