Frequently Asked Questions

1. What services does Planet Hair offer?

+

Planet Hair provides a range of services including Shiseido Japanese Hair Straightening, Japanese Digital Perm, Air Wave Digital Perm, Herbal Henna Colour Treatments, Dry Cuts, and more. We cater to different hair types and provide tailored treatments to achieve the best results.

2. What is a Japanese Digital Perm?

+

A Japanese Digital Perm uses heat to create long-lasting curls, mainly focusing on the lower half of the hair. It is ideal for clients looking for more defined curls or waves that require less frequent salon visits. However, it is not suitable for extremely damaged or bleached hair, as it may cause further damage.

3. What is the difference between a Digital Perm and an Air Wave Perm?

+

The Digital Perm is heat-based and ideal for creating defined curls, while the Air Wave Perm uses air to create softer, natural waves. The Air Wave is particularly suitable for individuals with fine hair as it adds volume and movement without excessive heat application.

4. Can I get a perm if I have fine hair?

+

Yes, but results may vary. Fine hair can struggle to hold larger curls, so using smaller rods can help achieve a more successful outcome. It’s best to consult with our stylists to assess your hair and determine the most suitable type of perm.

5. Can I perm my hair after having it straightened?

+

Perming hair that has been previously straightened can be challenging, especially if the hair is damaged. A Digital Perm might be a better option than other perm types, as it is heat-treated. However, a consultation is recommended to ensure the best outcome and minimise the risk of damage.

6. Is Japanese Hair Straightening safe for all hair types?

+

Japanese Hair Straightening is suitable for many hair types, but it is not recommended for heavily bleached or highly damaged hair. The process involves using chemicals to soften and straighten the hair, which could lead to further damage if the hair is already compromised.

7. Can I straighten my hair if it has bleach highlights?

+

It’s not advisable to straighten hair with bleach highlights due to the potential for uneven processing and increased risk of frizz and breakage. If only parts of the hair are bleached, we may be able to treat the non-bleached sections. A detailed consultation is necessary to assess the condition of your hair.

8. What should I expect during a hair consultation?

+

The first 10 minutes of the consultation are free. For longer sessions, a fee may apply. During the consultation, our stylists will assess your hair type, discuss your desired outcome, and suggest the best treatment options. We also offer testing services for straightening and perming to ensure compatibility.

9. How do I care for my hair after a Digital Perm or Japanese Hair Straightening?

+

Proper aftercare is crucial for maintaining the results of both perms and straightening treatments. We recommend using smoothing serums, strong conditioners, and heat protectant products to maintain moisture and reduce frizz. Our stylists can guide you on the best products to use.
