It was more than a year after I had may hair rebonded. Since May, I was tying my hair because if I don’t, my hair will look like Simba from the Lion King. I am tired of my boring look so yesterday, I decided to go for a Japanese Straight instead of another hair rebond.
Here are some information from Tomi No Haru’s site:
Japanese Straight is a unique Hair Straightening System from Japan which permanently straightens ALL HAIR TYPES and CONDITIONS. The Japanese Hair Straightening technology works best even for the most difficult hair types & and conditions.
Why is Japanese Straight better than Rebonding?
Japanese straight is better than rebonding because it is the only permanent straightening procedure that allows styling versatility even after the treatment. The hair can still be braided, curled temporarily without chemicals, or up-styled without leaving any permanent marks. This is the only treatment that allows permanent hair coloring on a SAME DAY procedure, which means you can cover grey hair, lift your hair color from black to light brown permanently, without the damage. Rebonding only allows cellophane or semi-permanent washable hair coloring as their same day hair coloring procedure. With Japanese Straight, you get 8 complete treatments in one procedure while with rebonding, you may only get 3 treatments. These 8 treatments ensure the safety of the procedure to any type & condition of any hair, before and after the straightening process.
What is the difference between Japanese straight and an ordinary chemical relaxer / straightener?
Japanese straight is a permanent hair straightening system that leaves hair looking and feeling soft, silky, shiny, and healthier looking hair while an ordinary chemical relaxing /straightening is a temporary, corrosive, and unsafe way of straightening one’s hair. With Japanese straight, hair is straightened safely & permanently at the innermost structures. An ordinary relaxer / straightener may damage your scalp and leave the hair dry and brittle, and the curls come back after a short period of time.
I’ve known this Japanese Straight through a deal site. I was searching originally for a hair rebond deal when I saw it, the description made me interested so I clicked the BUY button. I went to their Muntinlupa Branch to claim my voucher. I was surprised that there were no women attendees at the salon, the attendees are men, yes I think real men.
The 8 hours procedure went like this:
- They’ve shampooed my hair first
- then blow dried it
- They’ve put a color blue gelatin like chemical on my hair
- After an hour, they put a white chemical
- they left it on for another hour and then put another white cream
- after an hour, they washed my hair
- then they blow dried it again
- and then they used a hair straightening iron on my hair (this lasted for 2 hours I think)
- and then they washed my hair and put a glossifier or hair conditioner I think
- then they blow dried my hair again
- after that they used hair straightening iron again to fix and finish my hair
The result
What I liked about this Japanese Straight is that I felt that the chemical they have used is safer than the one used in hair rebonding. They did not cover my ears when they have put the chemical and they did not kept on asking me if I feel any pain or itchiness on my scalp. Also they told me that my hair is under warranty for 10 days. I haven’t received any warranty from the other salon that I went to before so this is a plus factor for Tomi No Haru.
Being inside a salon for 8 hours was tiring. I kept on standing and transferring from one chair to another. I was glad that they have a free Wi-Fi and TV that entertained me and the other customers who kept on Facebooking hahaha.
They advised me to wash my hair after 3 days. I will update you on what it will look like after that time.
UPDATE as of November 6, 2013: I have washed my hair already and I was surprised that when I wet it, it was not that hard like when I had my hair rebond before. I let my hair dry before I went out of the house, and I like that it is smooth, and easy to hand comb especially if it’s windy. I love it, and I hope that my straight hair will last at least 6 months or more.

Hi Levy,
Nice share I was actually been thinking of getting a japanese rebond since I saw today one of their promos on metrodeal. I would like to ask if the hair color was already included in the 1499 deal? Im looking forward on your next post about your hair condition after you have washed it.
I’ve got my deal for P900+, the hair color was not included. They told me that you can add P600 for hair color if you want to.
always closed. went to kalentong brnch and it was closed. went to evangelista branch still closed. they dont even answer the phone calls very unprofessional. imagine of getting a voucher in metrodeal and u cant even book for appoinment because its always closed and no one is entertaining the calls
nyay 🙁 what happened to them?
Hi Levy,
am actually thinking of getting the same deal that I saw in Metrodeal. May I know, how long did your hair stay straight? Also, what branch? Am reading in some forum that some of their brances are not good.
Straight pa rin naman hair ko until now. I went to their Muntinlupa Branch to get my hair done.
hi thanks for the review.. how about yung effect nya sa hair after months.. ? is it the same as rebonding na nakkdamage and all? i was thinking kc if i shoudl get yung organic rebonding but its too pricy…
I had split ends after a month.
well, i came to their branch in Muntinlupa but there was no Wifi an TV, like what you indicated on your blog. Also, when I came in for my 1pm appointment, i was a bit scared that there was just one man running the salon. Seems as well that he just opened the salon, because there were no clients and the creams, irons and dryers were just kept inside a small cabinet. I also wondered where all the towels are. The salon itself was a wreck. The salon was disappointing.
awwww… sorry for your experience. When I went there, there was a TV and wifi. Maybe there is something wrong kaya nawala.
Hi, what contact number did you use? tried to call the number in metrodeal but the number is not yet assigned and the mobile number is always busy.
I can’t remember the contact number that I used.
I had my session just last month. It was ok during the first 9 days, then I called to schedule for warranty treatment. They sent just one reply then afterwards, I have not heard from them. The franchisee keeps on telling me that my treatment is under a “promo.” I do not know why she kept on telling such. It took them almost 8 hours and I really felt that they were in a hurry because they are already fixing the things inside the salon. It was not fault that the salon opened late that is why I stayed there till almost midnight. I was told that it will open by 10 am. I went there at 11:30 and the shop was still closed. Then I was asked to go there at 4:30 pm.
Nevertheless, I gave her and the attendant equal amounts of tip. Probably in other branches, the owner is more professional.
I might one day go back to one of their branches but probably not where I went to.
may I know what branch you went to so that my readers will be aware? Thank you for sharing your experience.
Almost 3yrs n last time n nagparebond ako, so I decided n mag pa straight sa tominoharu after my session maganda nman hair ko pero nung naligo n ko after 3days sobrang dry at sunog ng dulo ng hair ko,. Sabi nung attendant ipa trim ko n lng daw, nung pinatrim ko nag fly away naman sya, grabe nakaka depress tlaga,. D n ko mauulit jan ever:(

I want to share my japanese straight experience with you, i’ll just speak conyo so I can explain properly. I had my japanese straight yesterday at 11am. Muntinlupa branch. When we arrived there, nagulat ako sa salon nire-renovate! Okay lang naman, may two chairs sila at two mirrors, may aircon and wifi din. Ang ayoko lang sa salon nila ay yung amoy ng pintura! Grabe, kaya sa labas ko nalang ng salon pinagawa yung hair ko. Btw, isa lang ang nagbabantay ng salon at siya din yun gumawa ng hair ko. He’s kind naman, magaan yung kamay and friendly naman. When it was time to iron my hair, pumasok nalang kami kasi sobrang init. Nagtakip nalang ako ng ilong so I cannot smell the amoy pintura! So yun, pinakamatagal na ginawa ay yung pag iron ng hair, it takes 2 hours I think? Wala naman akong complain sa mga gamot nila. Mabango naman. Oh, nakita ko pala yung banner nila, may nakalagay na ₱1500, pero yung nabili ko sa deal is ₱1888! Sayang naman. So yun, after 8 hours, ang rating ko sa hair ko ay 3.5/5. My hair is straight naman but gusto ko sana ay yung parang “walis-look”. At kinakabahan din ako pag naligo kung ano magiging itsura. Sana okay pa din. Maganda naman, makintab siya. Oh btw, hindi na ako nagpa-apply ng color since naglighten na yung dating hair color ko dahil sa gamot. Will I recommend tomi no haru? Hm, for me yes. But not this time dahil sobrang amoy pintura talaga and if you want your hair to look naturally straight, yes I recommend you to go here. Of you want the “walis-look”, I suggest not.
Hi,
Planning to avail this Japanese Straight service this weekend.
Is it still recommendable for you guys at the moment? Or you have other options to consider?
Thanks!
Try Brazilian na lang or Kerabond
