Texture Tamers
From straight-haired celebs like Mischa Barton
to Jennifer Aniston; and curly-coifed stars from
Jenifer Lopez to Meg Ryan, Hollywood's leading
ladies have set the "good hair day" bar pretty
high. But, just like you, these darling divas
have suffered the frizz, curl and kink before
heading to their favorite stylist to do something
about it. Whether they've indulged in Thermal
Reconditioning (Barton and Aniston) or have jumped
on the Keratin infusion bandwagon (Lopez and Ryan),
these ladies have taken proactive steps towards
enviable hair that isn't just for the rich and
famous. Take a hint from these icons of hair perfection
and don't be afraid to get a little salon help
to tame your texture.
 Japanese
Straightening
Candidates:Want to permanently
alter their hair’s style and texture; don’t
mind frequent touch-ups; have significant amounts
of patience in a stylist’s chair.
What it’s all about:
Although it has known many different names (Thermal
Reconditioning, the Straight perm, Permanent straightening),
Japanese Straightening is a non-reversible procedure
that transforms even the curliest of hair into
a stick straight sheaf of shiny hair. Formulated
in Asia, this treatment may take hours into the
double digits for processing, but is sure to
produce some flat, straight results.

Nanokeratization
Candidates:
Are looking for a way to tame their mangled locks;
have significant damage to their hair.
What it’s all about:
This service uses a water-infused keratin protein
to penetrate the hair to strengthen and refine.
While this procedure is more focused on restoring
health than texture, it can also make hair more
manageable while still maintaining the hair’s
natural structure. So, while this procedure won’t
leave your hair totally straight, it will make
your curls or waves pretty and pristine and healthy
to boot. Don’t confuse this procedure with
the hotly contested Brazilian Keratin Treatment
that uses a formaldehyde-laden liquid to penetrate
the hair. And, since formaldehyde only belongs
in a science lab (even though its place there
is even being challenged), keep it out of your
hair at all costs.

 Keratin
Complex Hair Therapy by Coppola
Candidates:
Have unruly locks that need serious taming.
What it’s all about:
This in-salon treatment is more widely offered
than Nanokeratization, and the end result (when
it comes to texture) is eerily similar. While
Nanokeratization can do quite a bit more for the
health of your hair, this service improves the
texture of hair and, thus, can save you some serious
time blow drying and styling.
