What is permanent hair straightening?

At LUX Hair we offer a Permanent Straightening and Rebonding System, which is designed for those wanting to transform their curly or frizzy hair into long-lasting, low-maintenance, shiny, hassle-free permanently straight hair.

Permanent hair straightening is very different from a Keratin hair treatment. While both methods aim to smooth and straighten hair, they achieve their results in fundamentally different ways. Permanent hair straightening produces long-lasting, permanent results by altering the hair's internal structure. In contrast, Keratin hair treatments temporarily coat the hair with keratin, providing smoother and shinier hair for 5 to 6 months, depending on the hair type. Over time, the treatment gradually washes out, requiring reapplication to maintain results.

At our salons, we pride ourselves on offering the best permanent hair straightening treatment in Melbourne, using the advanced Uko Hair Straightening system to deliver consistently smooth, straight and seamless results for a look that’s tailored to your face shape and complements your features.

 

How does permanent hair straightening work?

The journey to perfectly straight hair begins with a thorough consultation at LUX Hair. When you come in, we’ll assess your hair type for suitability. Permanent straightening can be unsuitable for some hair types, so we may recommend another method, such as a Keratin treatment, to achieve smoother, silkier hair.

The permanent hair straightening treatment involves saturating your hair

 

How long does permanent hair straightening last?

This hair straightening service is permanent, which means your hair will remain straight until it grows out. For optimal maintenance, we recommend that you get your hair touch-up no sooner than 3 to 6 months after the initial straightening. Depending on the growth of your hair, you can come in to get the regrowth retouched no more than three times a year. This schedule allows for a minimum of three inches of new growth to be treated, ensuring your hair has time to breathe between treatments.

 

How much does permanent hair straightening cost?

The cost of permanent hair straightening in Melbourne depends on a number of factors, including the length of your hair and your hair type. At LUX Hair, we offer permanent hair straightening treatment from $350.

Yuko is an established and trusted brand in the beauty industry with an internationally patented hair straightening process that intensely straightens your hair without damage. The result of Yuko Hair Straightening is incredibly sleek, straight and polished locks that feel moisturised, healthy and smooth.

Aftercare FAQs 

Can I wash my hair after the treatment?

You can wash or wet your hair 2 days after this treatment is done. Blow dry your hair completely after every wash to maintain straightness.

Can I colour my hair before or after the treatment?

We recommend colouring your hair at least two weeks before or after the straightening procedure. Applying both chemical treatments simultaneously will result in hair damage, so do them separately to avoid undesirable results.

What products can I use on my hair after Yuko Hair Straightening?

LUX Hair offers Yuko home care products that will work optimally on hair that has been treated with Yuko Hair Straightening. Your stylist will take you through aftercare tips to ensure you have everything you need to get the best out of your Yuko treatment.

If I’ve had Keratin treatment, can I still use Yuko Hair Straightening?

If you have done a Keratin treatment before then we do not recommend getting Yuko Hair Straightening except on new growth. A strand test prior to your service will ensure the Yuko treatment will not be impacted by any residual Keratin in your hair.
