What makes iStraight different from the rest? What are the benefits of using iStraight?

The iStraight System (Thermal Reconditioning) is a permanent hair straightening system that utilizes 3 solution strengths, each tailored for different cases. Whether the difference is in hair texture, curl type, and condition (such as highlighted, bleached, or even pre-relaxed hair types) there is a solution to meet the specific needs of each individual. The solutions (No. 1 relaxers) can also be inter-mixed with each other to form a custom strength depending on the condition of the hair. The solutions (No.1) are cream-based for easier application and to prevent the relaxer from dripping down to the scalp area. As with all hair chemicals, if it touches the scalp, breakage can occur. 

The iStraight formulas contains negative ions in the relaxer (solution 1) and positive ions in the neutralizer. This will create a stronger bond to restructure the hair properly and to keep the hair healthy, moisturized, and vibrant. 
One of the best benefits of using the iStraight System is Ceramide. Ceramide is a natural resource that is part of your intercellular bonds to keep the integrity of the hair and fortifies the cuticles to keep the hair soft, natural, and healthy. Ceramide is used as a substitute for silicone types commonly used in the relaxer. 

Other products currently in the market utilize Dimethicone, a common Silicone by-product, to coat the hair for artificial shine and smoothness. However, after the Dimethicone has been bonded to the hair, (with the use of a hot iron) it will eventually dry or break off, taking the cuticles along with it.  The result is damaged hair in the long run or reverting curls.

It does NOT use strong chemicals to open and close the hair cuticle in an effort to straighten it, “breaking the bones” of the hair shaft. Keratin is a natural substance, which comprises approximately 88% of your hair. It penetrates the hair repairing internal damage and coats the hair preventing further damage. 

It is Keratin based which is a type of protein high in sulphur and the amino acid cystine, making it tough, elastic and insoluble. These qualities are fundamental to the strong structural role keratin often plays in nature. It is a major component of horns, hooves and wool. In fact, keratin is the main protective substance in our hair, skin and nails. 

This is not a permanent straightening but a natural treatment. Therefore when the product is gone, your hair will be back to its natural form. Recommended for all kinds of hair, virgin, colored, highlighted, previously straightened, etc. On average this service takes about 2 hours to apply and it lasts up to 4 months.
