Q & A

 Q:  What is 'Ionic Hair Retexturising' (IHR) treatment? Why is it
     different from other straightening products?

A: 
    'IHR' treatment is a revolutionary professional hair straightening treatment only available in 'IHR' qualified hair salons. 'IHR' treatment is entirely different from other similar products. Thanks to the unique 'Ionising Technology' that is incorporated in all 'IHR' products, 'IHR' treatment performs the best straightening result without any damage to the hair.

Q:  What is 'Ionising Technology'?
A: 
    Ions are small particles that gather around an object. When negative ions encounter water, they restructure the ion cluster of water. The water molecules are broken down to a fraction of the original size. As a result, refined water molecules are then diminutive enough to penetrate through the cuticle, and eventually into the core of each hair.

Q:  How 'Ionising Technology' is incorporated in 'IHR' products?
A:
    All 'IHR' products are formulated or designed to deliver negative ions. They are the essential element of the 'Ionising Technology'.

Q:  Does the Natural Ion Complex in the products ever wear out?
A:
    No, they do not. They will be effective for the life of the products.

Q:  What is the benefit of 'IHR' treatment?
A:
    'IHR' treatment retains water content of the hair while straightening. i.e. straightening without damage to the hair.

Q:  What are the expected results?
A:
  • Permanent retexturising result on treated area.
  • Hair looks healthy, shinny, silky smooth and full of vitality.
  • Less frizzy and static electricity. Very easy to manage on a daily basis.

Q:  Who will need 'IHR' treatment?
A:
    Anyone who has natural curly, frizzy, dehydrated hair and hair that is lacking in vitality. IHR can be used on all hair types, including permed and colour treated hair.

Q:  How long will the result last for?
A:
    'IHR' treatment result is permanent. However, in order to maintain the 'IHR look' of the hair, a retouch treatment is recommended every 3 to 6 months for the virgin (new grown) hair.

Q:  How long will an 'IHR' treatment take?
A:
    about 3-4 hours, it depends on the length and condition of the hair. This will also determine the price for the treatment.

Q:  Can I perm or colour my hair after 'IHR' treatment?
A:
  • wait for 14 days before colouring your hair if permanent colouring product is used. The immediate contact with the colouring products may lessen the retexturising result. If semi-permanent colouring product is used, colouring can be done immediately.
  • wait for 14 days before perming and use a cystine based perm solution. Please note that this may undo the retexturising result.

Q:  Any other tips in looking after 'IHR' treated hair?
A:
  • avoid shampooing in the following 24 hours after treatment.
  • avoid tying up or twisting hair in the following 48 hours after treatment.
  • to maximize the result, try using the full range of Ionic domestic products which includes shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer, flatiron and brushes. Your IHR salon will be able to advise you.
  • retouch treatment on virgin (new grown) hair is recommended.
