What is Japanese Hair Straightening?


japanese hair straightening at Robert Andrew in Gambrills, near Crofton, Maryland


“For 41 years I’ve waited to have straight hair. It was the craziest experience to wash my hair and have it completely straight. I kept waiting for it to get curly or frizzy. It has done neither of those things. I must say that a lot of people don’t recognize me at first. It is so fun having straight hair and not worrying about what to do with the curls when they don’t behave. People cannot believe that my hair is actually straight and it is! Brian and the staff of iSalon did a fantastic job during the process and I couldn’t be happier.”  – Debi V., RA Customer


The iStraight System:
iStraight is a revolutionary Japanese Hair Straightening System that utilizes protein, ceremides and the power of natural ions to rebuild the hair, while minimizing the natural curl or frizz through a very thorough process of washing the hair and straightening it using a series of heated styling tools.

While it may sound like a lot of wear and tear, you will emerge from the salon with completely retexturized, sleek, bone-straight, healthy hair. And, unlike other hair treatments, humidity or other factors will not affect the hair or subject it to split ends or breakage. It is a general rule of thumb to avoid washing your hair for 12-72 hours after the treatment to make sure the hair has completely reformed to its new state.

Here at Robert Andrew, Japanese Hair Straightening is just one of the many hair treatments and services that we offer. Feel free to come in so we can show you a range of possibilities for your hair and skin.
