I am sorry to hear that it happened to you. But my hair looks and feels great now. The salon I went to told me not to wet my hair or put it in clips for 48 hours.

I was thinking that it was either developed in Japan or gets its name from results: straight, silky and shiny hair (which is what "Japanese hair" usually looks like to me)

I believe it was derived in Japan. The brand that makes the chemicals for it is Sheisheido which is a Japanese company.

That makes sense.

When I first read about the process, the article I saw said that the majority of Japanese women actually have curly hair and have been using straightening systems for years to get that classic look. I'm not sure how true it is, because I've never seen a child of Asian decent that had curly hair.

It may have been when I had the process done, it hadn't been in the states that long.

I was wondering about that. I don't recall seeing too many Japanese women with curly hair and that must have to do with what you said. If straightening systems were common in Japan for years, of course we'd rarely see a curly haired Japanese woman.

I've never seen a curly haired Japanese child.

The indigenous people of Japan had curlier hair than is considered typical of East Asians. So, there are probably quite a few of their descedants who have the less coarse, curlier hair type.

Examples

I'm glad, seriously. I still mourn the loss of my hair too
