Going through the important points for the process of hair straightening permanently

1. Tell your stylist the truth about your hair's past.
Your stylist needs to know if you've been coloring your hair for years or if you tried a home relaxer a few months ago. If you've used chemicals on your hair, it might be too damaged to straighten with chemicals. It could make your hair dry and brittle, or it could even break off while you're doing it.

2. Request a strand test. During a strand test, your stylist will put a small amount of the straightening solution on a strand of your hair in a hidden spot, like the nape of your neck. This will let the stylist see how your hair reacts to the chemicals and let them know if it's safe to continue with the treatment.

3. Bring a book or download a game to keep yourself from getting bored. Most permanent hair straightening treatments take at least two to three hours, and the first treatment for Japanese straightening can take as long as eight hours. Bring a book or put a game on your phone so you have something to do while you're sitting in the chair.

4. Do what the care hairstylist says to do. To keep your hair healthy, it's important to carefully follow your stylist's after-care instructions.
If you choose hair straightening permanently, you won't be able to wash your hair for a couple of days. Depending on the treatment, you may also be told to avoid styling your hair with heat, which can make your hair more likely to break. If you get the treatment, you might not want to put your hair in a ponytail for a couple of days so you don't make a permanent crease in your newly straight hair.
