The YUKO Hair Straightening System obtained patent approval in the United States in 2000. Not only was YUKO approved in an amazingly short time, it is quite rare for a Japanese beauty technology or system to be granted a patent in the United States.

And what makes YUKO so distinct is that it was approved as a “Hair Repair, Styling and Straightening Process” – in addition to being a state-of-the-art hair straightening system, it is also a recognized technique of restoring health to the hair. YUKO Hair Straightening System changed the concept of hair straightening in Japan, and continues the hair straightening revolution throughout the world.

“Aqua Gold” – A Specially Formulated Water

The ancient Chinese believed that gold was the key to eternal youth and longevity…

The world-renowned researchers of Phi-ten first developed the breakthrough technology of water-soluble gold, “Aqua Gold.” This special water undergoes what Phi-ten call the “Phild Process*” and made electrically stable, which in turn allows for active ingredients in hair solutions to permeate the hair swiftly, minimizing damage from chemicals while producing the desired effect.

All YUKO products use soluble gold to bring to your hair the perfect harmony between exquisite beauty and vibrant health.

*About the PHILD Process
The human body constantly produces "bioelectricity," a very small amount of electricity generated through the activity of living organisms. If the electrical balance is disturbed, cellular activity and surrounding tissues in the body are also affected. The same principle applies to cells that make your hair. The Phild Process is a proprietary method that balances cellular bioelectricity and ensures the stable flow of current in cells, which not only improves and repairs the human hair but also allows for a smooth chemical reaction with hair solutions and products. The Phild Process is incorporated into the perm solutions, the hair straightening system, and all YUKO products including the hair iron. It’s the reason why you can have beautifully straight hair so quickly and easily.

PHI-TEN Hair Iron Technology
	The state-of-the-art Repair Iron uses technology developed by leading health product manufacturer Phi-ten.
High-performance, patented Heater: •Designed with a semiconductor for precision in temperature control • Power is converted into heat more efficiently than conventional ceramic heaters • Nichrome plates are etched to distribute heat through the aluminum plates evenly
Precise temperature control means a speedy finish and beautiful, straight hair. PT Chopper Control (super-sensitive temperature control): An embedded IC chip offers efficient control of the HH Heater. The PT (Phi-ten Triac) Chopper System sensor detects any temperature fluctuation to restore optimal heat within 0.1 second. COMPARISON: Phi-ten Repair Iron vs conventional hair iron

THERMO-GRAPH		TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATION OVER TIME
Conventional Hair Iron A marked difference in temperature at the center and the rim causes an imbalance in heat applied to the hair. YUKO Repair Iron Evenly distributed across the plate, heat applied to hair is balanced and uniform.		Conventional Hair Iron Conventional hair irons take longer to reach the desired temperature and the temperature fluctuates. YUKO Repair Iron YUKO Repair Iron heats to the desired temperature quickly and maintains it at a constant level.

When the press plates have uneven heat			With YUKO Repair Iron
	Insufficient or uneven iron heat adds excessive stress. The hair is prone to damage; results are inconsistent. The hair becomes straight only when it is pressed at the optimal temperature.			Even and consistent iron temperature creates beautiful, straight hair in the shortest time ever. Consistent heat results in beautiful and evenly straight hair.
