[A] Semi-colored hair will not be a problem in the magic straight process. However, fully dyed and highlighted hair may cause more damage to your hair. Therefore, we advice that you consult a professional at our salon before you make your decision.
[Q] Is there a specific way to take care of my hair after Magic Straight?
[A] After the perm, you may not wash your hair for the next 48 hours nor wear hair pins, hats, hair ties, and etc. because these may cause unwanted prints in your hair.
[Q] How long does it last?
[A] Magic Straight is a permanent perm. However, your new grown hair will not have the magic straight effects. Therefore, we recommend that you have touch-ups done. Most people will need their touch ups done after 4~6 months while people with fast growing hair will need a touch up after approximately 3 months.
[Q] How long should I wait after my Magic Straight to color my hair?
[A] Although every individual is different, our professionals recommend waiting about 3 weeks to one month to people who perm, dye, or iron their hair often. To individuals who only perm, dye, or iron their hair occasionally, our professionals recommend one week to ten days for the best results.
