SOFIA BY ODE Crystallizing Straight Rebonding Hair Straightener (H1) + Neutralizing Emulsion (#2) SET bundle with Hair Brush

Very good product .. it made my hair straight …

So I bought 2 of these Japanese treatments on August 26th. One for me and one for my 9 year old daughter who has butt length hair. We both have Mexican and Indigenous heritage. So our hair is thick. My daughter's hair is twice as thick as mine. It's not coarse hair. Its just very thick. I did mine first to see how long it would take and if it would burn or anything like that. It didnt burn it just stinks like rotten eggs. It was easy (but I have done my hair by myself since I was 17-> so it could be hard for you) but it DID take all a long time. I would set aside a full day for this especially if your doing it on your own. I did both of ours in 1 day but because we didn't stop except to eat. If I could this all over again I would buy a silk scarf. The more your bend your hair in the 72 hours, the less straight it's going to be. You have to make sure your hair does not crease or get clipped up or put in a ponytail. It WILL permanently indent your hair. When we slept our face frame baby hairs fuzzed up when in contact with our pillows and blankets-> but its still ok. We didn't have silk scarfs so it's not pin straight like it was on the first day but it's probably 90% more straight than we started. I will say this. My daughter had virgin hair. I think that and the fact that her hair was so well taken care of and THICK naturally-> that it didn't get damaged. She is using the redken. SOFT oil for her hair now. So its alot softer as well as straight. Which is also helping bring back some shine. She has moderate to severe eczema and it didn't break her out or cause any damage. I took really good care to make sure I didn't make contact with her scalp as much as possible. Before my hair was dyed so many clors and heat over use that My hair needed to be treated by The REDKEN BONDING shampoo and conditioner for the last 2 YEARS before using this Japanese Treatment. I DID a small amount of my ends in the back of my head burnt off. I just snipped it in that area so you can't tell. HOWEVER if your hair is processed, dyed, heat treated every week with straighteners and/or blow dryers I would be VERY careful when using this. I checked every 6 min on my hair. I went the full 45 min but still. These chemicals are STRONG. If you have processed hair treat it consistently every day 2 weeks straight before and after with a treatment and hair masks. I use Redken so I was fine. I switched from Redken Bonding to SOFT and its even better now. Overall we had some product left over so if your hair is not super thick or super long I'm sure your can squeeze 2 treatments out of this or do 2 people's hair. I needed one whole pack and so did she but we had a bit of product left. No where near enough to do another head but enough as not to run out. So one goes a long way. It's been two months and our hair is still straight from wash to dry. Even more straight if we blow dry it on medium heat setting with out a brush. Pin straight if we use a straightener on a light heat setting. For us it was worth it. It works as it's supposed to. We love our hairs. We will be using it again when our hair grows out.

Nothing but grateful by this product. Our clients hair turns always pinch straight. We usually let the cream A sit for 30 mins (until hair bonds are aligned -Knot method) then rinse 95% of the formula, then straighten the hair to a highest of 410F. You need to be skillful for the straightening process. we usually don't go higher than 410F . we do 25-30 passes with the straightener using thin hair strands (and has been working wonderful in our saloon) . We don't apply this formula if the hair has been bleached or highlighter as these are alkaline processes and it might damage the hair.

I used on my moms hair which is very curly and semi course. It really softened her hair and removed all frizz. Some of the curl pattern is still there but we followed exact directions which I think were made for japenese hair. Next time maybe we will add few more minutes. Easy to easy and smells non offensive. I highly recommend over other straightening products!

I really like the product, it made my hair so much better, the smell it’s not the best but the results are 100% worked it, my hair looks shiny and the best part straight that, that’s the point of this product. that’s how my hair is after the product and how was before the product

Easy to use and good quality
