I've always wondered why Asian's need hair straighteners.

 

[BraunSugar]

It seems like combining two different straightening processes & using them at the same time would wreak havoc on the hair. Maybe I'm wrong...

 

[Your Cheeziness]

Whoever created the name, Japzillian, should be fired. It just looks like a lot of companies are capitalizing off of the public's fear of the formaldehyde in BKT.

I wonder about this as well! That's why I am sort of perplexed about the treatment.

Exactly, I wonder how this treatment could effect previously relaxed or color treated hair

dang i wonder what ppl would be thinking about my hair in asia i believe the majority of asians have wavyish hair not pin straight, at least that's what i've seen from youtube, family and passerbys

 

[southerncitygirl]

some foolishness.....i hear enough about damage that folks get from bkt even when its done properly or at a lower temperature with the passes of the flat iron.

 

[EbonyMajesty]

Is it just me or does that name make you guys think of Godzilla? It seems weird and borderline offensive to me.

 

[QBOE2001]

IDK if the fumes from BKT were bad enough for people to need masks....what happens when you add more chemicals / substances to the product formulation....i'd be scared that my hair would just up and say "I QUIT" and run off my head.............

LMAO @ the title of this thread. haha! "Japzillian".

From what I read it makes the hair pin straight and it feels extra soft.

I stay away from the Brazilian keratin treatments and Japanese thermal reconditioning stuff like the plague! I wouldn't get a "Japzilian" treatment done simply because the name is stupid. Plus, I have read too many awful things that those treatments have done by themselves to people's hair. I'd be better off setting my hair on fire.

cheryl26 you bring up an interesting point. I wore my hair in a twist out in Beijing last week and i didn't notice any looks that made me feel uncomfortable. I actually felt so much more comfortable wearing my hair wild and free there than I've ever felt anywhere else in the world (maybe because i knew i was going to stick out anyway, regardless of how hard i tried to blend in )

Many Asian do not have straight hair. A lot have wavy or curly hair.

He is FINE.

Back on topic, I would never risk my hair with some crazy new chemical. Firstly because I don't use chemicals anymore, but even if I did... let someone else melt/fry their locks first. I am not going to be anyone's guinea pig!

This is true. I do personally know a few Asians, not just Japanese, but from other parts of Asia that have wavy, curly, or slightly kinky hair. Most either blow-dried or flat ironed to straighten it. One of my Pakistani cohorts actually has used a relaxing kit before.

korean afro perm

a lot of people get the perm so their hair will loc. I know a few japanese men with knee length locs. And they're big messy ones, not the little perfect salon ones.

I believe it still has formaldehyde. How did he extract it? So basically he just mixed two companies propriatory ingredients and came up with his own product? He has no idea what's in a companies secret mix and once he mixes them together, who knows what the short or long term side effects are. He named it that to capitalize on the huge Asian market in California.

A lot of companies say formaldehyde free but when you mix chemical A with chemical B it creates formaldehyde.
