Customer Reviews of Matrix Opti Smooth Japanese Hair Straightener, 2 Applications
Customer Review: THE BEST HAIR STRAIGHTENER!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been straightening my hair for 30 yrs. I used to use lye relaxers and then in 2006 tried Matrix Opti Smooth. I will NEVER use anything else again! It makes my ahir PIN straight, baby soft and silky smooth. I just redid my hair last week with Matrix OptiSmooth.I know that many people read these reviews before making their purchase and here's my experience and how I do it to ensure the best results. I went to my sytlist in Feb to have this done and was disappointed, I am better at this than she is.
Hair Type: Fine with medium to strong curl. Be sure you choose the product for hair texture! If you fine hair even if it is virgin hair use sensitive formula. Coarse hair will need the normal or coarse. DO not use if you have used a lye relaxer or if your hair is bleached. You are taking a HUGE risk if you do. I use sensitive formula. Mistake 1 my stylist made, wrong formula. She fried my hair and didn't take out the curls!
Tools: YOU MUST HAVE A GOOD CERAMIC IRON! DO YOUR RESEARCH ON THIS!! It will make all the difference. I got a Bablyiss Pro on Amazon.[...]
Cheaper irons or the titanium irons. Titanium is metal it WILL RUIN your hair when using Opti Smooth! Mistake 2 my hairdresser made!
PRE STRAIGHTENING: 2 weeks before you straighten deep condition your hair 4x with Redken extreme CAT.This is a pure protein product and will prevent your hair from frying. The CAT will strengthen your hair by 65% after 4 treatments. They used to print on the label. Follow with a heavy moisturizing conditioner like Chi organics olive paste. You want your hair to be over conditioned!
Straightening: There a few tips I have learned over the past 4 yrs of using this. If you have never done this before do a strand test to determine your processing time.
1)Pre treat per directions Don't forget the pre treat spray! It's better to use a bit to much of this than not enough.
a)Apply the straight creme. GENTLY smooth your hair a bit with the palms of your hands while it is processing. Keep a few damp paper towels by you just in case your ends over process.
2) Set your Iron to 450 degrees F or as close to it as your iron will go. Another use a professional iron. This is CRITICAL! VERY thin sections of hair and make sure it looks straight and smooth. It may take more than 3x.
3)Neutralizing: You MUST comb it through for the full 10 min. I comb and smooth. Comb w/one hand and smooth with the other. Mistake 3 my stylist made
Those are my success tips:} I do my own w/out help:}
