What are the types of keratin straightening?

Who recommend keratin straightening

Due to the fact that in the modern world it is impossible to live without stress and can not fully get enough vitamins, the hair suffers and becomes weak and lifeless. In addition, external factors also have a negative effect on curls - the sun, frost, hats, and bad water. So, hair treatment is always a hot issue.

Description of the procedure

Before you understand how to care for hair after keratin straightening, you need to figure out how to do it. And everything passes quite simply and pleasantly:

1. Hair deep cleanse special shampoo.
2. After thoroughly drying the curls, the specialist applies liquid keratin to them.
3. After 40 minutes, the hair is thoroughly combed with a comb with dense teeth to remove excess keratin.
4. Now, without washing the drug from the hair, they must be thoroughly dried with a hairdryer.
5. The last stage is the serial sealing of keratin in the hair. This is done ironing. The master begins with the lower occipital zone, giving each strand about five minutes.

According to the reviews of women who have decided to keratin hair straightening, the whole procedure lasts about three hours and does not cause unpleasant sensations. Unlike popular belief, there is no smoke or a specific flavor either.

Dispel myths

Some are categorically opposed to keratin straightening, believing that the effect of ironing is too negative and spoils the whole effect by changing the structure of the hair. Fortunately, it is not. Keratin has a high temperature of clotting - about 230 degrees. Moreover, this substance is quite heavy. What does this mean?

Due to the density and weight of keratin, each curl itself is drawn out. In addition, the protein, which is contained in the preparations for straightening, deeply affects even very curly hair. The iron simply solders the film around the hair.

It is also believed that the effect of straightening lasts longer on dyed hair and looks better on them. According to reviews of experts, in this case, everything depends on the condition of the hair and their care after keratin straightening.

Care in the first days

Here we come to what hair care is needed after keratin straightening. In fact, care is not so complicated. Most of the prohibitions apply to the first three days after the procedure itself.

Do not wash your hair for at least the first 72 hours. Despite the fact that keratin is soldered to the hair with an iron, some of it should be absorbed by itself. Three days is more than enough. There is an opinion that keratin straightening will disappear immediately after the first washing of the head. Yes, if it was washed in these first three days.

Sauna and swimming pool. We already know that you can't wet your hair. The conclusion is simple - in the pool you must wear a hat. The sauna for the first three days is taboo.

Hot styling tools. Beauty is, of course, good, but at the end of the procedure is always styling. Twist the hair, try to check what will happen if you run the hair ironing and just use the hair dryer is absolutely not worth it.

Hairstyles. Those who want to do the right hair care after keratin straightening, definitely will not stab curls with anything. Otherwise, it is impossible to avoid creases and leveling the effect of the procedure.

These are the main points that should be taken into account immediately after keratin hair straightening was performed. How to care after the procedure afterwards?

By the way, on these very tips (more than half of the total length), it is worth applying a conditioner balsam. It must be a product of the same manufacturer as the shampoo. If there is no such conditioner in the kit, it is recommended to purchase something of such a plan, which will include keratins.

Some women think that since their hair has become so beautiful, you will no longer need to look after their hair. This is a misconception. Care after keratin hair straightening should, on the contrary, be enhanced. Otherwise they can push, fall out, break, the ends will begin to split again. In a very short time, the curls will lose the smoothness and luster found after the procedure.

Therefore, it is necessary to make maximum efforts so that the effect obtained from alignment remains for a long time. And do it every day, and not only in the first 2-3 days after visiting the beauty salon.

There are a number of requirements for caring for keratin straightened hair. They mainly concern shampooing, as well as the use of special cosmetic products - masks, balms, sprays and rinses.

Do I need to wash my hair before keratin straightening? Required. But immediately after it - it is impossible. It is allowed to do this only on the 4th day after the procedure.

Please note that you can only use non-sulphate shampoo to wash hair leveled with keratin. After washing your head, apply conditioner or balsam on the curls. These funds are necessary to soften the strands, protect them from adverse external influences, facilitate combing.

Several well-known brands have received positive feedback from specialists. Among others, we are talking about care products of such brands:

• Natura Siberica,
• Schwarzkopf Color Freeze,
• Melvita.

If you decide to straighten your hair with keratin, remember that after the procedure you will not be able to soap them as before. Applying shampoo on keratinized strands should be done correctly - affecting only the root zone. The tips will be cleaned with soapy water flowing down.

The ends of the hair are recommended to be further treated with a balm rinse containing keratin. It should cover more than half the total length of the curls. It is very desirable that the product be from the same series as the shampoo. If the manufacturer you need does not complete the shampoo with balsam-conditioner, you can buy some other keratin product.

Are you visiting the pool? Do not forget to wear a special rubberized cap. It is necessary to protect straightened hair from water, to which staff usually adds chlorine and other chemicals to disinfect.

Planning to swim in a natural pond? Be sure to apply any protective agent to the strands (special balm or emulsion). When you leave the sea, wash your hair thoroughly immediately. You can not leave salted sea water on the curls - it will reduce the effect of keratinization to zero.

Another way to care for hair in the period after straightening with keratin is a special protective spray. With this tool, the head should be handled every time before going outside in bad weather or before resting on a river or a lake. Flush it is not necessary.

Caring for straightened keratin hair can be done with the help of masks. The need for such care appears after 2-3 weeks.

Note that the mask belongs to the category of high-intensity cosmetics. After professional straightening, the hair is well saturated with all sorts of goodies. Therefore, in the first 2 weeks to apply the mask is not necessary. But from the 3rd week is permissible - but only no more than once every 6-7 days.

As for the manufacturer, the brand does not matter. The main condition is that the mask should not contain any sulfates. Therefore, some masters are convinced that it is better to prepare cosmetics for their own care with their own hands.

Homemade recipes

The procedure of keratin straightening involves the destruction of some elements in the structure of the hair, and then - its restoration with the help of natural building protein.

Most women are very worried about caring for their locks after they are straightened with keratin. After all, I want to do everything so that the strands do not hurt, and the hairstyle retains its found smoothness and shine as long as possible. And to use shop care cosmetics or there is no possibility, or there are fears to buy low-quality fake.

Fortunately, good nutritional formulations for hair can be made at home on your own. Ingredients for their preparation are available to almost everyone.

Conditioners

For example, those of them who work with stars recommend a simple but very effective remedy - any nourishing or moisturizing cream. The greasy texture of such cosmetics completely envelops the ends and perfectly moisturizes them.

In addition, well-known masters advise another elementary and, nevertheless, effective tool - castor oil.

What is a salon procedure?

The structure of the hairs contains keratin or natural protein. If it is enough, the curls shine, radiate health and look great. As soon as the keratin becomes small in the structure of the hairs for various reasons, the curls immediately begin to break, dim and dry.

To maintain the presence of keratin, modern cosmetology companies produce a variety of therapeutic and prophylactic shampoos, balms, gels. They are recommended to be used to improve the external condition of the hairs. Unfortunately, the keratin particles in cosmetic products are so small that they simply cannot penetrate the depths of the hairs, respectively, with the help of those it is impossible to heal the internal structure of the locks.

Salon keratin straightening is not only a hairdressing service, it is also related to caring procedures. Currently, in beauty salons customers can offer 2 options for keratin straightening strands - based on conventional keratin, as well as straightening with nano-keratin.

• With the usual keratin straightening, liquid keratin is applied to the surface of clean and thoroughly washed with shampoo. It is firmly fixed on the surface of each hair. After the curls are straightened with a special hair straightener, the perfect result of the cosmetic procedure is achieved. With the usual keratin straightening, the curls become perfectly straight, but the structure does not restore the hairs.
• Straightening with nano-keratin is an advanced cosmetic procedure. Thanks to the hard work of scientists, it was possible to divide the long protein molecules into small nano-particles. The size of nano-keratin is so small that it penetrates the hair without any special efforts, where it fills cracks and other internal disturbances of the hair shaft. The straightening procedure of strands with nano-keratin is performed in the same way, that is, a special composition of liquid keratin is applied to the surface of the strand, then with the help of an ironing curls are straightened and become even and perfectly straight.

It is important to note that it is impossible to permanently “implant” keratin into the hair structure, with time the keratin is washed out, and the curls become wavy again. To save the result of the salon procedure for a long time, you need to know how to care for the strands after straightening with keratin.

Before you start straightening strands of keratin, you must:

• thoroughly rinse the strands, remove residual styling products from their surface,
• dry each strand with a hair dryer, it is necessary to eliminate excess moisture,
• comb curls comb with fine teeth.

6. It is strictly forbidden to use varnishes, foams, mousses for laying the strands. The chemical components of the styling products can react with keratin, and the result of this interaction may become completely unexpected and unusual.

Hair care immediately after leveling

Every girl who decided to use this option to strengthen her hair should understand that caring for curls after keratin straightening will have some differences from what was usually done. Initially, we consider what rules should be followed immediately after the procedure.

What is keratin hair restoration

Modern methods for the restoration of strands used today in any beauty salon. For the treatment of hair use a special composition in which there is a protein-keratin necessary for hair. Synthetic component penetrates the hair structure with external help with ironing. Formaldehyde is formed when heated.which is embedded in the hair and fixed in it. The destruction of protein bonds can occur inside the cortex, due to which the hair cannot receive proper nutrition afterwards. Therefore, hair care after straightening is imperative.

The keratin recovery procedure was developed specifically for women with hard and dense curls. For dry and weak hair, this method of restoration is contraindicated. If you apply for such strands keratinization, they will become too heavy and brittle.

For the procedure usually choose a tool with keratin, which may contain a large level of formaldehyde. This kind of keratinization is called “Brazilian”.. In the “American” method, the composition does not include this component. The tool is characterized by a sparing effect, so this technique wins in terms of quality. The price for it will be more than the "Brazilian" method, but there is no doubt that the hair will become healthy and silky.

An experienced master, possessing all the necessary knowledge in this matter, will easily cope with the procedure, after which the hair will be smooth, voluminous and shiny. The damaged structure is restored, curls become healthy. Such strands are easy to lay, because they do not pull and curl. Improper application of funds or poor-quality composition can lead to the fact that the hair will fall out badly, so the event is advised to be held only by an experienced master. The method at home is resorted to only by those people who know all the features of keratin straightening.

Among the minuses of keratinizing, the duration of the procedure itself should be noted, which is usually performed within 3-4 hours. Also need to consider what a medical event is very expensive.

With thin and heavily damaged hairs, the shock is unlikely to achieve a stunning volume. Before restoration in the salon, you must prepare your hair with proper and regular care with cosmetics. Planned staining of the strands is carried out a week before professional restoration.

It is also necessary to take into account the contraindications of keratin recovery curls. It should be abandoned for people suffering from skin diseases and having wounds or injuries on the scalp. It is impossible to carry out the procedure for those who have a tendency to asthma and allergic reactions. Women during pregnancy or lactation, too, should not do the restoration of keratin. Suspicions of cancer are the cause of a complete rejection of the procedure.

In other cases, the treatment will be useful for hair that needs to give smoothness, shine and volume. In order for the curls to keep their attractive appearance for a long time, you need to know how to care for hair after keratin straightening.

Keratin After Straightening

Care after keratin hair straightening is not so complicated, but if you do not pay enough attention to the treated hair, it will quickly lose its beautiful appearance. In the first days of keratin is absorbed into the hair, so you need to protect the locks from the harmful effects of external factors.

The first 3 days after hair straightening, you must adhere to the following rules:

• Washing and moisturizing strands is prohibited. Also, do not go out in a period of high humidity. It is necessary to refrain from visiting the pool, sauna and bath. In the summer you will have to protect yourself from swimming in the sea. If for some reason the hair is wet, then they should be immediately treated with an iron.
• Immediately after the procedure it is prohibited to use heating tools for laying - curling iron or hair dryer.
• It is necessary to abandon mousses, gels, foams and other cosmetics for fixing hairstyles. Chemical components react with keratin, resulting in damage to the structure of hairs.
• Coloring or highlighting these days do not hold. It is better to perform these manipulations a week before the keratin procedure. Synthetic paints should be chosen without containing ammonia.
• To keep the keratin applied, you should not touch your hair with your hands less often. Not strong hairs are strongly subject to fragility and section. Curls should be left flowing. In the near future it is worth refusing hairpins, clips and other accessories.
• You can trim the hair only after 3 days.
• Experts recommend to buy a satin or silk pillowcase. These materials do not allow to sweat the scalp.

In the subsequent treatment masks should be applied to prolong the healing effect. Shampoos and balms must be selected for hair after restoration with keratin. Such products contain little aggressive chemistry and many natural components that can not only preserve the structure of the strands, but additionally feed necessary substances.

Daily care

3 days after keratinizing, you can wash your hair. To do this, use special hair care products after straightening. The following rules will help prevent premature leaching of keratin from curls.

Shampoos and conditioners must not contain sulfates and sodium chloride. These substances contribute to the formation of abundant foam, which quickly washes away not only pollution, but also keratin. Shampoo for treated hair should have a gentle composition. Experts advise to choose the tools of one series that effectively cope with their task.

After the first wash, it is advisable to leave the curls to dry naturally, but you can use a hair dryer using a low temperature. Drenching the strands with a towel should be careful, as friction affects the hairline negatively. Silk or satin pillowcase will help to avoid negative consequences. Combing dried hair should be neat movements.

If it is necessary to create a hairstyle or volume for a head of hair, fixing means should be used in a small amount. Varnishes, foams and mousses can make heavy strands that will return to an untidy look. But ironing, curling and hairdryer are no longer terrible for reconstructed hair. Hair styling is done with the use of soft and light scarves or ribbons. With tight rubber bands and stiff pins, you can ruin an attractive hair look.

If you plan to regularly visit the pool, then you should get air conditioning, which prevents the rapid leaching of keratin. Chlorine contained in the water has a negative effect on curls, so a special cap will not be enough. After the pool strands must be thoroughly rinsed under running water.

Since keratin is destroyed by exposure to hot air saturated with moisture, you should visit the sauna and the bath less often. During your stay in these places, hair should be completely hidden under a felt hat.

Paint or highlight curls can only be 3-4 weeks after professional restoration, otherwise the keratin treatment will not be able to work properly on the hair. Paint pick sulfate-free, so that the desired color is preserved for a long time.

The benefits of keratin straightening

Keratin is a protein that covers the hair shaft in the form of small scales. Over time, the scales are destroyed, the hair becomes thin, brittle and lifeless. Straightening occurs due to the molecular effect of aldehydes on the structure of the hair, in which each hair is supplied with the necessary keratin, wrapping itself in a thin protective film. That is why keratin straightening is considered not only a cosmetic, but also a medical procedure.

The process consists of applying the product, drying it and ironing it. The composition reacts with keratin and destroys disulfide bonds under the action of heat, giving the hair a curl look. The curls become smooth and healthy, they are thicker, heavier, straightened, easy to fold, keep their shape even in the wind and rain. The effect lasts from 2 to 6 months and depends on how the hair care after keratin straightening will be carried out.

Hair care in the first 72 hours after straightening

1. You can not wash your hair or wet them. You should refrain from walking down the street in wet weather, abandon the sauna, swimming pool, bath and visiting the sea.

Types of procedures in the beauty salon

The procedure is done not only for straightening curls, but also for their treatment. Therefore, the correct method of applying a therapeutic composition is important. Types of procedures:

1. Normal keratin straightening. First, the master thoroughly washes his head, then applies a special professional composition. Liquid keratin is absorbed into the hairs, fixed for a long time on each strand. To complete the procedure, strands are drawn with a hot iron. In the usual procedure, the hair becomes smooth, shiny and perfectly straight. But the restoration of their structure does not occur. Upon completion of the cosmetic procedure, proper care after straightening hair is important. Special shampoos and balms are used for washing curls, which are designed to meet all the nuances of keratin treatment.
2. Nanokeratin straightening. This is an improved treatment. Long particles of protein are used, which are divided into small nano elements. Particle size is very small, so they easily penetrate inside the hair shaft, closing all the layered cuticles, filling cracks and damage to hairs. Nanoscale according to the principle of performance is no different from the usual procedure.

After treatment for hair, proper care is needed, which will help keep the particles of keratin on the surface of the strands. If there is no proper care, then over time the hair will become wavy again.

I decided to try keratin straightening quite recently, as my curls are wavy and thick. After each wash I had to straighten them with an iron.After the straightening procedure, I forgot about the hot iron. My strands are always smooth, soft and straight!

After straightening, I use Dixidox de Luxe shampoo from Simone. It significantly improves the quality of curls, helps keep them straight.

I do keratin straightening for the third time, I am satisfied with the procedure. I have naughty and curly strands, after treatment they are shiny and straight for 6 months without ironing and styling products.

How do the procedure

When straightening using the following scheme of action:

1. Thorough combing of curls and shampooing with special keratin shampoo for deep cleansing and disclosure of hair scales.
2. Drying with a towel.
3. The division into strands and the application of straightening serum. At this stage takes about half an hour, because processing should be maximized.
4. Drying in the direction of growth.
5. Lamination styler (iron), set to a high temperature. Heating of the device should reach approximately 230 degrees. This will seal the liquid protein inside the hair and slow down its leaching.

Important! The procedure not only allows you to straighten each curl, but also to give the hair a smoothness and shine.

The subsequent period will require special care. The rules are obligatory for execution, since ignoring them will accelerate the leaching of the composition from the hair structure and restore the previous condition of the strands.

Rules of care in the first days

Healthy appearance, obedience when laying, compaction and lack of fluffiness are the results of keratin treatment. The shape of the hairstyle is maintained regardless of weather conditions. How long the hairstyle will last is greatly influenced by the skill of the barber.

The duration of the effect varies from two months to six. The term is affected by the observance of the rules of care and mastery of the barber.

Fixing the results and the extension implies the implementation of a series of tips for three days:

1. To wet or wash curls is prohibited.
2. Refraining from leaving the house in rainy weather, as well as visiting the pool, sauna, sea and bath. Keratin has not yet been completely absorbed into the structure, so in case of any contact with moisture, you must immediately straighten the strands with a styler.
3. It is necessary to change a pillowcase for the specified period, and put a satin or cotton product on the pillow (to prevent sweaty secretions of the skin of the head).
4. It is contraindicated to use any heating devices and devices for hair.
5. Touching the strands is necessary only if necessary, because the hairs have not yet had time to get stronger. The prohibition also includes any hairstyle, laying the ears and stabbing. The best option is to leave the hair loose for the full 72 hours.
6. Do not use any foams, gels, varnishes, mousses and waxes for styling to avoid the possibility of a chemical reaction and subsequent damage to the curls.

It is also recommended to use masks regularly as a treatment and prevention therapy.

Sulfate-free shampoos

If the procedure was carried out in a beauty salon, you should check with the master the names of suitable products for care. Determining the presence of sulfate in shampoo is easy. The names of the components are listed on the label. Often on the label manufacturer indicates that the products do not contain parabens, laureth sulfate and silicone. The cost of these shampoos is higher, so you can buy a baby tool. It does not use sulfate.

The process of washing with sulphate-free cosmetics is a must, as the use of conventional cosmetics will lead to the leaching of keratin from the structure. An air conditioner, mask, or balm will not interfere with this. As a result, the effect of straight hair will disappear almost immediately.

This is due to the loss of protein due to scales. Only the special sulphate-free shampoo will retain the compound, since liquid keratin is present in most products. Similar products are recommended for the care of melirovanny or colored curls, so that the saturation of the shade was maintained as long as possible.

but The lack of laureth sulfate causes hair to become dirty more quickly, leading to more frequent washing. Habitual use of varnishes, gels, foams, waxes or mousse for styling will become difficult, because you can not wash them completely without sulphate cosmetics.

Such shampoos also contribute to the elimination of increased fat content of the root zone and fragility of the tips, since they do not destroy the protective layer of the skin of the head.

Using a beneficial effect on the appearance of curls - they will gain shine. Additionally solved the problem of dandruff, itching and dryness.

Within 72 hours, your curls should not get water, they should not be in a wet room. Therefore, if the appearance of rain is possible, then it is better to take an umbrella with you. If you are invited by friends to swim in the river or visit the pool, then refuse this offer, because otherwise the entire effect you tried to create will be lost.
2. Refrain from using irons, hair dryers and pleyok for these three days. It is advisable to minimize any kind of impact on the hair.
3. Within 72 hours do not braid your hair in braids, do not collect them in the tail, do not remove them by the ears. Any of the above actions will simply cause your curls to take shape that you constantly wear your hair. As a result, you can not get the desired result.

These are the basic rules that should be considered after you left the salon. Remember that now only from you will depend on how long your keratin lasts on your hair and what effect it can give you after the alignment.

Keratin hair straightening in everyday life

There will be not too many such rules, for many girls they will turn out to be simple and clear. But in any case, they should be taken into account if you want to go for as long as possible with even and shiny hair.

1. If you decide to carry out hair coloring, then this can be done at least 10 days after the straightening. Remember that dyeing can be carried out only by means without ammonia, otherwise your hair will be a double blow, which will have a very negative impact on the hair.
2. During shampooing, only shampoos and conditioners can be used that do not contain sodium chloride or sulphates. Ideally, immediately after the procedure, your master should advise you on the means that are best suited for the care of your hair after the used composition. The fact is that the sulphates will very quickly wash the keratin from the hair, both natural and "Sealed" with the help of special tools and ironing.
3. At a time when you have keratin on your hair, it is advisable not to go to the bath or sauna. The fact is that steam, both dry and wet, will have a negative effect on your curls.
4. It is advisable to swim very carefully in the pool or go to the procedure, wearing a special cap. Chlorinated water will also adversely affect your hair.
5. Many hairdressers do not recommend straightening before you go to the sea. Salted sea water will easily destroy the product in your hair, and it will instantly become wavy.
6. You can swim in the river or in the lake, where the water is fresh. But when bathing, use a special balm that can protect your curls. After water procedures, be sure to rinse your hair with clean water.
7. Do not think that after using a special tool, you will be able to go to bed with a wet head, and in the morning you will wake up with even and beautiful curls. This does not happen.After you have cleaned your hair with shampoo and conditioner, you need to carry out a standard masonry using a brush.
8. Using curling. This can be completely abandoned, since it will not be necessary. The hair will be even after the most usual styling.

Are the basic rules maintained?

Yes saved. Accordingly, there are no restrictions on how often you will wash your hair, as well as what elements you will use to strengthen your hair. Remember that over time the keratin will gradually wash out the hair, so after 3 or 4 months you will again have to visit your master in order to update the composition on the hair.

Ideal if after using keratin straightening effect on your hair will be minimal. This applies to both the scorching sun, and from the extreme cold. If such careful and careful treatment of curls will be supplemented by delicate care, then for a sufficiently long time your hair can be kept by the composition itself, which is fixed in each hair.

Other additional and strict rules for hair care after leveling them with keratin, as such, no. Some advise to use argan oil for the tips of the hair in order to avoid deterioration of their condition. On the other hand, this is a purely individual need, which may be relevant for some girls with problematic hair.

Remember that even before the procedure, your master should give you all the information about hair care, which will be carried out after this procedure.

What if the results are not visible?

First of all, ask a question about whether quality materials were used. Secondly, remember, if you checked the masters for the presence of certificates and diplomas, claiming the possibility to carry out such a procedure. ThirdlyIt is not uncommon for a hairdresser to apply an insufficient amount of money on hair, which is why the result of work is simply not visible.

It also happens that the effect is almost not noticeable due to the fact that keratin burning was carried out using not enough heat on the iron, respectively, the tool simply did not soak into the hair.

Do not forget that an important factor will be what hair was before the procedure. If they were strong and healthy, then all you can get is a simpler hair dryer. If the hair has been badly damaged, then of course, in this case, you will be able to notice their very quick transformation.

But wondering about how to care for your hair after keratin straightening, try to learn as much information as possible from your master. Very often, many hairdressers even make some reminders that they give out to the client after the procedure. Actually, there are not so many rules. It is difficult to name some of them as the most important, and some as minor. Therefore, feel free to sign up for the procedure and enjoy the great effect that can be obtained from using such a tool.

Hair restoration after the procedure

The effect of straight hair after the procedure is temporary, because keratin is gradually washed out of the structure. After this, the previous state of the strands will return without any intervention. Is it possible to do it faster - the actual question with unsatisfactory laying results. However, there are several ways to force a problem.

The most radical method is rinsing curls with salt water. Sodium chloride removes excess keratin, which leads to an acceleration of the return to the previous state of hair. Such a decisive method will require the additional use of special shampoos and masks to restore the balance of trace elements.

Attention! You can buy for this special mask for hair, which contains vitamins and useful substances. This will ensure a return to the natural state of the strands, which deteriorate due to exposure to chemicals during straightening.

For questions about the use of a particular agent, it is better to consult in advance with the master, who conducted the procedure for keratin straightening. An important prerequisite for proper care will be individually selected cosmetics.

If the hair falls out after keratin straightening, the following ingredients should be used to regenerate the curls:

• coconut, olive, burdock or castor oil will gently remove excess applied during the procedure of the rectifying compound (suitable only for normal and dry hair type),
• almond oil or obtained from jojoba (preferably for dry scalp),

With regular use of essential oils, it is possible to accelerate the growth of the strands and at the same time the complex recovery of hair. Until now, a unique method has not been found that would restore the hair after keratin straightening, so it is worthwhile to think well in advance and only then agree to such experiments with curls.

Conclusion

The safety of keratin styling and its effectiveness are achieved only with relatively healthy hair. The use of preparations on thin and overdried strands will lead to baldness. The qualification of a specialist is also a serious criterion, since the result depends on the competent implementation of the keratin styling technique.

If the master does not have enough experience or knowledge, the danger is great that the hair will begin to push and curl again after the first wash. Another trouble can be hair loss after keratin straightening.

The procedure is quite complicated, and therefore you should not try to carry it out at home, when the necessary skills are missing. Poorly done styling, as a result of which the hair has become like a sponge, will result in additional expenses for nourishing balms, shampoos and serums.
