Hair Types: Straight Hair Styles

Straight hair has a range of different textures and appearances.  They can range from fine blonde hair of Scandinavians to thick coarse black hair of Asians and Indians.

There are certain problems with fine straight hair. This type of hair deserves a very experienced stylist because every cut and scissor mark will show up if done improperly. They also are very fragile and soft so constant highlights may severely damage the scalp and hair root. Keeping hair long will only make the hair seem untidy and straggly. Remember the shorter the hair the thicker and fuller it will appear.

You can add different textures to this hair type by perming and using salon hair products to conform them to your desired look. Adding color to fine straight hair creates fullness of the hair strands.  Thick and coarse straight hair needs much more time, effort, a perming rod, and a very skillful stylist.

Would you like to get the straightest softest hair you can get but are worried about all those harsh chemicals?  Well a newly introduced technique that is captivating millions of kinky, curly, and wavy haired people today is called Japanese hair-straightening.  Also called thermal reconditioning, this process is about a hundred times safer than normal chemical based straightening. This permanent reforming of the hair is accomplished with a flat iron instead of perming rods.

Existing relaxers and chemicals use hydroxide and lye, which has such a harsh smell that it will literally make you gag. Thermal reconditioning contains a thio-based Liscio that’s gentler and is specially formulated to protect and repair hair from heat damage. Results last about six to ten months and only the hair that re-grows needs to be thermally reconditioned.
