X-Tenso by L'Oréal

This service transforms rebellious, curly or frizzy hair to smooth, beautifully silky, and shiny hair for up to 60 days (after 60 days, the hair does not revert back to curly/wavy, it just loses the shine and smoothing effect). It’s usually done in about 2 hours. The X-Tenso uses new technology for noticeably increased conditioning and smoothing.

The X-Tenso is a milder way of straightening hair, as opposed to the pin-straight look with the Japanese straightening, and provides more straightening effect than the Brazilian Blowout. The result of the X-Tenso is natural looking, and makes your hair smoother and softer to the touch. Natural volume is kept and your hair will not be flat; your hair’s natural movement is also kept so the hair will have a smooth flow.

Our stylists are able to customize the degree of straightness you desire; from just eliminating frizz, to straighten out curls. We’re able to choose how straight to make the hair by using different strengths of solution being applied on your hair, as well as adjusting processing timing.

If you are looking to make your hair straighter without being flat and pin-straight, we recommend using the X-Tenso as opposed to Japanese straightening because:

1)      It’s more gentle to your hair

2)      It’s more natural looking

3)      It can be straight, or it can be just a little straighter, or simply just smoother without straightening effect

4)      Re-growth is not as noticeable
