Hair straightening is a process of straightening your hair by using certain chemicals along with heat applications. However, people who opt for hair straightening, are often doubtful about the effectiveness of the process. They also want to know for how long this technique will last on their hair.

The technique of moving hair bearing skin tissue grafts from one part of the scalp to another dates back at least 50 years. In the 1950’s a pioneering surgeon by the name of Dr. Norman Orentreich began to experiment with the idea of transplanting hair bearing tissue grafts taken from outside the pattern of top and frontal hair loss (i.e. the back of the scalp) to balding areas on the top and front of the head.
