Q: What is ?
A: The KAIZEN is an advanced hair care treatment designed to straighten hair while minimising damage. Unlike traditional treatments, it uses gentle, non-alkaline-based formulas that preserve the hair’s health. It’s particularly effective for clients with fragile, ageing, postpartum or highly damaged hair.
Q: How is The KAIZEN different from keratin treatments?
A: While keratin treatments primarily focus on smoothing the hair and reducing frizz, The KAIZEN goes further by straightening the hair while still improving its texture. It’s longer-lasting and better suited for damaged hair.
Q: How is The KAIZEN different from Nanoplasty?
A: Both treatments aim to straighten hair with minimal damage, but The KAIZEN uses a unique blend of ingredients for a shinier finish and silkier texture. It’s particularly effective on severely damaged hair, offering better results in terms of smoothness and shine.
Q: How is The KAIZEN different from Japanese Permanent Straightening (rebounding)?

The KAIZEN, however, uses a milder formula that reduces damage while still providing a smooth, straight look. It’s ideal for clients with delicate hair, as it enhances shine and softness without the harsh effects of traditional straightening methods.
