The Momoko Hair Straightening Experience
Revolutionary Permanent Straightening:
Tired of planning your life around the weather or spending hours with a flat iron? Momoko Hair Shaping is a premium Japanese straightening treatment designed to liberate you from the daily struggle of unruly hair.
Unlike temporary Keratin treatments that simply coat the hair, Momoko uses advanced Thermal Reconditioning technology to reshape your hair from the inside out. The result? Smooth, glossy, and perfectly straight hair that stays that way—even after washing, swimming, or in the highest humidity.
Why Choose Momoko at Eskay Hair?
Permanently Straight: Your hair remains sleek until it grows out. No more "fading" back to frizz.
Conditioning Indulgence: Infused with protein and moisture-rich pre-treatments, Momoko often leaves hair in better condition than before the service.
Defy Humidity: Perfect for holidays and rainy British winters—your hair will not revert to its old shape.
Bespoke Results: Whether you want a "poker-straight" finish or a "natural-straight" look with volume, the treatment is tailored specifically to your hair type.
Safe & Formaldehyde-Free: Momoko surpasses strict UK & EU safety standards, using high-quality ingredients to protect your hair’s integrity.
**Unfortunately I do not use Momoko over bleached or previously relaxed hair**
**This needs to be fully grown out of the hair when visiting**
Retouching is typically only needed every 4 to 9 months for new growth.

Momoko is a revolutionary Japanese permanent hair straightening and smoothing treatment. Unlike traditional methods, it uses a protein-rich formula to reshape the hair from the inside out. This results in hair that is not only poker-straight and frizz-free but also feels healthier, softer, and more hydrated.
-
Momoko is a permanent treatment, meaning the hair that has been treated will stay straight forever. You will only need a "top-up" or retouch on the new hair growth at the roots, typically every 4 to 9 months, depending on your hair's natural growth rate and texture.
-
Because Momoko is a meticulous, multi-step process involving pre-treatments, softening, precision ironing, and neutralizing, you should plan to be in the salon for 3 to 5 hours. The exact time depends on your hair's length, thickness, and current condition.
-
To ensure the best results, you must keep your hair completely dry and straight for the first 48 to 72 hours—this means no washing, tucking it behind your ears, or using hair ties/clips. After that period, we recommend using sulfate-free shampoos and protein-rich conditioners to maintain that silky, salon-fresh finish.
-
While Keratin treatments are semi-permanent and gradually wash out over 3-5 months, Momoko is a permanent structural change. Momoko gives a much straighter, "poker-straight" finish and is more effective at taming very curly or unruly hair in the long term.
