What is Momoko Hair Shaping?

Momoko hair straightening is also known as ‘Thermal Reconditioning’ and is the process of releasing the structural bonds of the hair, through a formulated chemical solution. Next the hair molecules are reshaped through the use of thermal heat. Finally, the structural bonds are then re-established and set in their straighter, smoother form.

This results in permanently soft, straight hair that is not only in better condition than previously but also does not reform to its old shape even after washing, styling etc.
