Does Japanese hair straightening seriously damage hair?

I'm thinking about the advantages and disadvantages or doing it. I'm well aware that anything that involves using chemical treatments with hair has its risks. BUT my hair is a nappy wavy messy piece of junk. It can be fixed with Jap straightening. HOWEVER, my hair falls out ALL the time in the shower. like strands come out. I'm like a shedding dog (for real).

Anyone done it before??

Does Japanese hair straightening seriously damage hair?

I had done it for about 5 times before I think ( once almost every year as I have natural wavy hair). I don't think it did my hair much damage.

It became smoother and easier to manage instead. Of course you need to use some hair cream or oil to maintain your smooth sleek look.

It depends greatly on the quality of the chemical used and the hair treatment used before and after the straightening. There are different brands of hair chemicals out there in the market. Shiseido is one the good brands but more costly. So, you have to spend quite a bit before you get the quality good look. =)

By the way, if you are losing hair greatly everyday then you might have sensitive scalp. You will have to consult the hairstylist before you do this treatment in case your scalp is sensitive to the hair chemicals and cause more hair loss.
