Best Japanese Hair Straightening System "Liscio"

LISCIO "The First Japanese Straightening System" (Best)*****

To respond to the desire of clients to have straight hair, Milbon introduced Liscio in Japan on 1996. Unlike existing relaxers with active ingredients based on Hydroxide and lye, thio-based Liscio is more gentle for the hair thereby straightening the hair while leaving it in wonderful condition. Milbon was the first manufacturer to receive Japanese governmental approval for its unique thermal reconditioning system. Liscio contains a specially formulated solution and iron, which protects and repairs hair from heat damage.In 1998 Shinbi International brought Liscio to the US and has developed the product and procedure even further to enable the process to be performed on just about any client that walks through the salon door. With added protein treatments and supporting products for the thermal reconditioning procedure, it is not uncommon to hear clients proclaim that their hair condition actually has improved after the procedure.

YUKO SYSTEM "Japanese Straightening" (Better)***

Activator Solution Difference -While the main active ingredient is the same, YUKO system only has 1 solution strength, which doesn’t allow for customization for individual client’s hair.No Protection Cream System -Yuko System doesn’t have protection cream system so highlighted hair or hair that’s been previously relaxed cannot be processed.

RUSK STR8 "Thermal Reconditioning" (Good)***

Activator Solution Difference-Same thio based activator. However, it does not contain any heat protecting ingredient. So it is likely that hair sustains damage during the ironing procedure.Iron Difference-Unlike Liscio, which has customized thermal iron for thermal reconditioning with different features, Rusk Iron doesn’t include these features. Most importantly, its lack of temperature control doesn’t allow for processing various hair in different conditions that can lead to burnt hair.Furthermore, the iron lacks an evenly heated plate, which lessens the effect of the ironing procedure.No Protection Cream System -Like the Yuko System, Rusk doesn’t have a protection cream system. As a result, the same limitation in processing the hair from Yuko system applies to Rusk.Procedures such as I-straight and Paul Brown are similar to Rusk in its active ingredients and supporting products. In comparing results and solution content, its comparable to the Liscio straight variation system.However, the Liscio system is still superior to these systems in a lot of ways due to its versatility of use and restoring formula.

BIO IONIC "Thermal Reconditioning" (O.K)**

Activator Solution Difference- the main active ingredient is not thio.Iron Difference - Uneven heating plate on its irons can cause damage to the fragile hair during the thermal reconditioning.

Additional Maintenance Bio-Ionic clients are required to purchase a special brush and blow dry to maintain its straight hair while other systems do not require such purchase.

("It's not just hair, it was life changing experience.......... jen from south tampa)

Before starting the process though, you're invited to have a consultation with the owner Anna Bang where you'll learn all about the product and what you can expect. I found the most impressive part of the meeting was the "before and after" pictures they showed me of their clients. The hair looked amazing, but it was really the satisfied expressions of the clients that convinced me to go ahead. I had never opted, in all my years of sleeking back and pony tailing, to have my hair straightening because I was convinced it would be ruined for good. But this time I thought things were going to be different.The Japanese Straightening took five hours - with chemical smells low - and excitement high! The team was meticulous and they processed small sections of hair at a time. The stylists took detailed notes on the health and color or my mane for future maintenance. And since Japanese hair straightening never loses its straightness, you simply return for two or three touchups a year.After washing my hair and realizing this was no longer a fantasy, I started wondering what the heck was in this stuff: The Japanese Straightening System AKA Thermal Reconditioning loosens the hair's cystine protein bonds, reshapes the bonds by straightening the hair cells with the use of a heat iron then makes it permanent using a bromide neutralizer. This is the basis for the color The Japanese Straightening System.This unique service can take anywhere from three to six hours. After washing and drying hair, a Japanese essential oil/aloe straightening serum is applied to small sections of hair at a time, then left to soak in. Following more washing and drying, baby irons are used to flatten hair almost strand by strand. Next comes a neutralizing solution and, yes, another wash and dry.With this treatment, even curly or coarse hair is not only straight and frizz-free for months, but actually healthier and softer, boasting more shine and gloss. Clients can still curl and style, but most are happy to wake up everyday with a blow-out-straight 'do. And many swear they pinch pennies all year for the pleasure.
