Can japanese straightening be done on natural black hair?

Does anyone know if japanese hair straightening works on natural black hair? I know that you can't do it on hair that has been previously relaxed due to breakage. I read one source that says it doesn't, but another source that says it does. I found one picture from a hair salon that did it and it looked really good... but I wasn't sure how reliable it was and it said you had to have mixed ethnicity hair (black and something else). Any opinions? Experiences?Can japanese straightening be done on natural black hair?
I have a Japanese hair stylist, and I wanted that soooo, sooo bad, but she said '; NO';


Reason #1. It wasn't made with African hair in mind, it was made for Asian people with that Hard thick curly hair. Their hair isn't the same as ours. It is in a way, straight, but with mad curl/wave. Ours is fine and curly.


Reason #2. It will not get it bone straight, it will have possibly some wave, or have that puffy look to it, so the Flat iron is still used. Even in the salon, they still use a flat Iron to give it mad straightening effect.


Reason #3. At just under $500.00 a treatment, you will need to spend about $200.00 every 6 weeks or so(depending on growth rate) to do touch ups. And if you do decide that you can't afford to keep doing it, your on;y option would be to cut off the relaxer, keep using a flat iron on the regrowth.


I lost all hope of doing it...truly i did want it, but after hearing about all that..plus the money it would cost to maintain it...I lost interest.


But I don't know you or your wallet...;) so if you can keep it up, then by all means try it...and good luck


Yes i am Mixed Blk/Wht...Can japanese straightening be done on natural black hair?
i was in school for cosmetology and japenes hair straighning is suppose to be the best. if you have a previous relaxer it will cause breakage especially if it is a sodium hydroxide relaxer. it doesnt matter the color of ur hair.
I am a hairstylist and they make it seem as tho it good for your hair it will make healthy and shiny . I have seen people with chunks of breakage and extremely damaged hair .


I wouldn't recommend it for anyone!
