This type of hair straightening process is not suitable for people with colored hair. As it takes hours to complete the process, it is quite expensive.

3. For people with highlighted and colored hair, ionic treatment is ideally suited. Ions used in the solution put moisture back into hair leaving it soft and silky. This kind of treatment lasts about five hours.
