Caring for Your Straightened Hair

Most women value their hair and treat it with lots of care. It plays an important role in a woman’s life. Miss Yuko Yamashita had a mission to help all women with unruly hair. Loving your hair is the first step but maintaining your hair properly after the YUKO Hair Straightening is also crucial. Because Yuko Yamashita wants to see the smile on your face, we have provided you with helpful information on how to maintain your newly straight healthy hair.

What to Avoid

The first 48 hours of treating your hair with Yuko Hair Straightening are critical. The hair must not be washed or styled in any way, this allows the neutralizer to settle in properly. You want to avoid creating any creases or dents on the hair. Avoid tucking your hair in back of your ear, using hats, even a simple trip to the gym can affect your hair.

Hair Dying

Planning on dying your hair? It’s best to color the hair after two weeks with a gentle dye, like ammonia free or a semi-permanent hair dye done by a professional. If the hair has been previously bleached you should take more precaution since the solutions can react differently depending on the different peroxides on the hair, causing uneven results. Always consult with a professional for best results.

Shampoos and Treatments Just For You

Be careful on what shampoos you use after you have had your hair permanently straightened. Chemical treatments and dyes may weaken hair and make it more fragile and vulnerable to damage. YUKO has a home care line of hair products to best suite your hair needs.
