Japanese Permanent Hair Straightening
The salon is NALU Hair Salon in Omotesando and yes, they have employees who speak English!
I did Japanese permanent hair straightening, aka thermal reconditioning, in mid-September. How it works is:
Your hair shaft has two types of bonds that contribute to its shape. Hydrogen bonds, and disulphide bonds. Hydrogen bonds change your hair shape temporarily and can be affected by moisture and heat, hence frizzy hair on humid days and curling or straightening with flat irons. Disulphide bonds are very strong and maintain a permanent shape, unless you break them apart with chemicals.
Japanese permanent hair straightening uses a chemical to break apart those bonds. The stylist then straightens the hair with an iron, setting the shape you what your hair to maintain, and then reseals the bonds with another chemical, permanently locking your hair into that new shape.
This salon in particular also adds a treatment to the hair before resealing it to keep it as moisturized, soft, and silky as possible.
You're not supposed to do it if your hair has been dyed a lot since it can damage the hair, so not everyone is able to get this type of straight perm. Before this I had only ever done one salon treatment, never colored my hair, and very rarely even straightened or blow dried it. But my frizz was crazy! I've had exactly zero issues with frizz in the two months since getting the straight perm.
You can also choose levels of how straight you want your hair to be. Since I have bangs I wanted those to look more natural rather than be perfectly straight, so they didn't apply the full strength treatment there.
I am still able to do some temporary hair curling (via those hydrogen bonds), although it really doesn't stay for any significant length of time at all. If I let me hair dry in a braid it will still come out a bit wavy, but not as wavy as before, and it doesn't last as long. And since I do tuck my hair behind my ears almost all the time, the little wispy hair there now retains that behind-the-ear curl shape.
If you're curious about the chemistry behind how this works, here are some links explaining it more in depth!

At least 23 Russian servicemen were killed and 19 were injured after military barracks collapsed in the Siberian city of Omsk on Sunday evening, Reuters reported.
The incident happened at around 11 PM, when part of the roof in a section of the building caved in causing several floors to collapse.
A plane with medical equipment was sent from Moscow and some of the injured soldiers were flown to the capital for treatment.
According to state-run television channel Rossiya 24 quote by the Wall Street Journal, it is not clear what caused the building to collapse and investigators are looking into possible causes and examining the quality of the building’s renovation work three years ago.
The barracks were built in 1975 and had been used as a training facility for paratroopers.
According to Reuters the training centre was also used for training junior officers and armoured infantry vehicle drivers, among others.
Russia is well known for poor safety standards in buildings construction.
Two people were killed over the weekend after a residential building in the city of Perm collapsed.

Самые крутые роботы 2019 и 2020
Новейшие роботы и изобретения с выставки CES 2020 можно посмотреть здесь:
Самые крутые роботы 2019 и 2020. Новые роботы 2020. Самые крутые роботы. Искусственный интеллект. Крутые роботы. Какой робот самый крутой? Топ 5 самых крутых роботов.
В этом видео мы расскажем про самые удивительные технологии, расскажем, какие на сегодняшний день есть самые крутые роботы, что смогут роботы будущего и как выглядят самые невероятные роботизированные животные. Вы узнаете удивительные факты и погрузитесь в мир технологий будущего.
5 место. Робот Asimo. Это гуманоидный робот компании Honda, который умеет ходить, распознавать с помощью видеокамеры окружение, слышать, когда к нему обращаются, поворачивает голову к говорящему и навсегда запоминает его имя и лицо. Кроме того робот может внимательно слушает стазу трех собеседников, с 80% точностью отделяя их речь от посторонних шумов благодаря системе распознавания звуков HARK.
4 место - семейство роботов-животных от немецкой компании Festo. Разработчики бионических проектов Festo заявляют, что они не просто копируют с высокой точностью живые организмы, но учатся у них, чтобы дать своим роботам возможность свободно передвигаться в совершенно разных условиях и с совершенно разными целями.
3 место: японский робот-аватар MELTANT-α
Уникальность робота в том, что его руки воссоздают анатомическое строение рук человека, имитируя мышцы и сухожилия и точно воспроизводя самые сложные движения кисти и пальцев со скоростью 0,02 секунды. Кроме того, в пальцы MELTANT-α встроены датчики давления, передающие оператору ощущения при взаимодействии с объектами.
Еще один плюс робота в том, что он включает в себя также функцию телеприсутствия. Надевая шлем виртуальной реальности, оператор может видеть все, что окружает робота и выполнять любые манипуляции руками.
2 место: гражданка Саудовской Аравии, телезвезда и модель София.
На самом деле, с Софией все обстоит не так просто. Аниматронный робот был широко разрекламирован в прессе, как самый совершенный ИИ в мире, будущее робототехники. Однако глава Лаборатории искусственного интеллекта Facebook Ян Лекун заявил, что София всего лишь чатбот в эффектной оболочке и pr-ход Hanson Robotics. Что все фразы, шутки и ответы робота заранее написаны и заложены в нее создателями. Подробности в видео, но одно бесспорно, со своей насыщенной публичной жизнью, красивым лицом с силиконовой кожей, способным передавать до 100 эмоций, София привлекла больше внимания к области ИИ, чем кто либо и что либо до нее.
1 место: робот Atlas - самый динамичный гуманоидный робот в мире. Сегодня робот обладает самой совершенной системой слаженной координации движений рук, туловища и ног. Чтобы добиться такого результата, многие элементы конструкции инженерам Boston Dynamics пришлось разрабатывать самостоятельно, изобретая не только их конструкцию, но и подбирать способ производства.
Бонус: Робот Федор и Промобот: лучший гуманоидный робот-аватар в нашей стране, разработка НПО «Андроидная техника», робот ездит на автомобиле, с высокой точность работает со сложными инструментами, проходит полосу препятствий, открывает дверь ключом и умеет пользоваться огнетушителем. Федор оснащен двумя камерами, тепловизором, микрофоном, GPS, ГЛОНАСС, а также полутора десятками дальномерных лазеров и специальной системой для определения положения своего тела.
Пермский Промобот - еще одно чудо техники российского производства. Может, он выглядит не так впечатляюще, как Atlas от Boston Dynamics, но в отличии от последнего он уже давно нашел себе применение и активно закупается разными странами мира.

Closed city
A closed city or closed town is a settlement where travel and/or residency restrictions are applied so that specific authorization is required to visit or remain overnight.
They may be sensitive military establishments or secret research installations which require much more space or freedom than is available in a conventional military base. There may also be a wider variety of permanent residents including close family members of workers and/or trusted traders who are not directly connected with its obscured purposes.

Christian Awe & Shingo Francis: Artists Bringing Inspiration to the World | Talks at Google
Christian Awe is a Berlin-based painter and this is his first exhibition in a Japanese museum. He grew up in East Germany before the wall fell in ‘89, and that life changing event gave him an opportunity to explore the arts. He is also an art activist who strives to make the world better, such as building a school for children in Bukina Faso, Africa.
Shingo Francis is an artist who lives and works in Japan and the United States. His work spans across painting, drawing, installation and video, and draws from the rich history of art and the current events of our time. As the son of American painter Sam Francis and Japanese video artist Mako Idemitsu, Shingo’s work speaks to the dynamics of these two contrasting cultures.
