We’ve had lots of questions about how Qiqi compares to other smoothing and straightening systems popular across Long Island, so let’s break it down for you:

• Permanent or Semi-Permanent Results:
  Qiqi uses a unique acid-based active ingredient that softens the bond of the hair. With a flat iron, it can permanently straighten. With a blow dryer and round brush, it can smooth while maintaining your natural curl pattern — infusing moisture, shine, and frizz control.
• Safe for All Hair Types:
  Unlike harsher systems, Qiqi works on all textures and conditions, leaving hair shiny, soft, and healthier-looking.
• How It Stacks Up Against Others:
  • Some systems, like Magic Sleek, reseal the hair with a “sealing lotion.” On some hair types, this may leave strands feeling dry or stressed.
  • Others rely on amino acids or proteins without fully manipulating the bond, which may not achieve the same strong or lasting results.
  • Our research and industry experience show that Qiqi’s proprietary formula offers better longevity, healthier results, and more versatility compared to traditional smoothing treatments.
