Using chemical hair straighteners or the Sedu hair straightener ? Choosing between two good options…

Well, you have made up your mind to straighten your hair. But how should you do it?

The most popular hair straightening methods are chemical straightening and hair irons. Sedu hair straightener is the most popular and efficient hair iron; therefore we will use the sedu hair straightener as the hair iron’s representative. Find out the differences between chemical straighteners and the sedu hair straightener.

A chemical hair straightener rearranges the structure of the hair from curly to straight. The chemicals usually used are sodium hydroxide, guanidine hydroxide and ammonium thioglycolate.

Using chemical straightener could be dangerous, so we advise you to let a professional do it (remember, you may cause a permanent damage to your hair).

Chemical straightening is consisted of 4 main steps:

1. Strand test – The test purpose is testing the strength, elasticity and texture of the hair. The test will help you determine whether your hair can handle the chemicals and which type is the best for your hair.

2.  Using a protective cream over the scalp. The cream will shield a damaged hair.

3. Rinsing the chemicals with warm water over the hair.

4. Relaxing the scalp using a special conditioner.
