This unique straightening system was created in Japan. It thermally reconditions and restructures the bonds in your hair. The Yuko hair straightening system makes your hair lie straight and leaves it glossy, smooth, shiny and straight.

The Yuko straightening system is a permanent treatment and works on most hair types with one condition; your hair has to be between four and five inches long. Although the Yuko system is permanent a lot of people who have it done like to get the treatment re-done about every 12 months due to the hair growing. Depending on how fast your hair grows depends on how often you will need the treatment re-applied.

The condition of your hair plays a factor as to whether the Yuko system would work for you. Your hair needs to be in reasonable condition for you to be able to have the treatment done. The system is however less harmful to your hair than bleaching it would be. As long as the right products, procedure and the treatment is done by professionals your hair should not be harmed at all during the Yuko treatment. If you are considering having the Yuko treatment applied you should always ...
... get a consultation with your chosen stylist before hand so the condition and type of hair can be assed.

A question often asked regarding the Yuko treatment is whether it can be applied to colour hair, the answer is yes. As long as the colour has been on for at least two weeks the treatment is perfectly safe to have done. It should also be noted that if you do go ahead and have the Yuko treatment done that you can't dye your hair for at least two weeks after the treatment has been applied.

In the case of bleached and highlighted hair there are a few factors that could sway the decision either way. Things such as how often your hair is bleached and the last time you bleached could prevent you from being able to have the treatment done. If you have a full head of bleach then you should defiantly not opt for the Yuko treatment. However if your bleach has grown out or you don't use that much it is possible that the Yuko treatment would be safe for you to use.

The Yuko treatment can take anything from three to five hours to complete, depending on the length and condition of the hair. The Yuko treatment really is worth investing in; the average cost of it being anything between £200 - £600, but you're not just getting straight glossy hair for this price you are getting hair that is going to be repaired whilst it straightens. The Yuko treatment leaves your hair in a more healthy condition thanks to specially designed heating irons.

Research suggests that on average 67% of women in the UK with wavy or curly hair attempt to straighten and smooth it out every day, spending about 30 to 45 minutes every day on doing this. Those 30 to 45 minutes daily add up to between four and six hours a week, which is roughly 275 hours a year we spend on straightening our hair. The Yuko treatment gives us back those 275 hours and replaces them with three or five hours instead, which one would you prefer?
