SHISEIDO Crystallizing Straight Neutralizer Cream is the second-step cream neutralizer in the innovative thermal straightening system developed by Shiseido Professional, specifically designed to be used in conjunction with the Crystallizing Straight series first agent. This neutralizer effectively locks in the hair structure reshaped by the flat iron, permanently straightening curls, waves, or frizzy hair while minimizing damage to the hair fiber, delivering an unprecedented level of smoothness, shine, and lightweight movement.
Its unique repair technology, part of the Dual Performance System, deeply repairs hair while setting the straight style. The formula is enriched with Lipidure® (2-Methacryloyloxyethyl Phosphorylcholine / 2-Hydroxy-3-Methacryloyloxypropyl Trimethylammonium Chloride Copolymer Solution) , which effectively repairs the damaged CMC (Cell Membrane Complex) structure caused by chemical treatments, improving texture and softness, and leaving hair with a natural luster that is easy to manage. The product features an elegant green-floral fragrance that effectively masks unpleasant perm odors, making the treatment process more pleasant.
