Keratin straightening - all - for - and - against

And the history associated with keratin straightening began in distant Brazil about five years ago. A mixture of vegetable keratin and a water-alcohol solution of formaldehyde was applied to the hair, then the strands were carefully smoothed with a hot iron. The client left very satisfied, because the result was impressive: smooth, smooth, perfectly straight curls (even if a girl with violent African curls came to the salon). This effect was due to the known properties of keratin - to fill the damaged areas of the hair, making it more elastic and obedient, and also to heal the damaged structure. Unfortunately, in this “barrel of honey” there were a lot of “fly in the ointment”. During the procedure, both the client and
and the master literally bathed in suffocating puffs of smoke that came from evaporated formaldehyde. If we take into account the amount of time that the hairdresser spent on such work, it is not difficult to guess that she was quickly ranked as harmful, although the majority did not stop it. After a couple of years, technologists from the USA, Israel and the UK set about developing a new generation of tools where this harmful component would not exist. “The number of brands offering services for keratin hair straightening continues to grow,” says Olga Antonova, a stylist and technologist at Sharm Distribution. “Unfortunately, most systems still include some aggressive ingredients, such as oxidizing agents, highly concentrated formaldehyde, and other dangerous chemicals. When heated with a hot iron, although they are sealed in its structure, a certain amount is still released into the air. It is important to know that the inscription on the bottle "Formaldehyde Free" is not a guarantee
safety, it all depends on what kind of formaldehyde is absent in the composition. As a rule, the label informs that there is no liquid formaldehyde in the product. But manufacturers are silent about the fact that it is present in a gaseous state. In order to make sure that there is no formaldehyde and thereby protect yourself, you just need to look
on the test results. It is desirable that this was the most advanced test - NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance).
The American company Keratin Complex, whose distributor in Russia is Sharm Distribution, prefers to give maximum open information, always providing clients with test results obtained from independent laboratories. Thus, the result of testing the safety standards of the Safety and Health at Work Administration (OSHA, USA), which was conducted in 2010-2011, showed that the presence of formaldehyde in products was eight times lower than the dose allowed at the workplace. And in August of this year, Keratin Complex became the first and only company in the “keratin smoothing” category, the procedure of which is safe for health, which was officially confirmed by OSHA.
I would like to note that for the most successful procedure, strict adherence to the sequence of steps is necessary, which is possible only after training with the company's technologists. Despite the fact that the procedure resembles similar ones in many ways, there are many nuances due to which you can get a guaranteed high-quality result. Therefore, our company will continue to offer Keratin Complex products only to masters who have undergone special training. ”

And the quality and quantity?

Another controversial point in the procedure of keratin straightening is the quantity and quality of keratin used. With regard to quality, most large companies use a truly natural product, derived from the wool of alpine or New Zealand sheep. Such a choice is not accidental: in its structure, this keratin is almost identical to the keratin of a human hair, it contains 18 amino acids, its molecules penetrate to the maximum depth, providing a powerful healing effect.
But the quality of the procedure itself (namely the effect of straightening) depends largely on the percentage of keratin. The numbers can be completely different - from 15 to 90%, which, however, does not guarantee a result at all, but can attract cost.
"If the composition of the drug is about 5-10% keratin, and not 40%, as, for example, in the Keratin Complex, this can significantly reduce the cost of the procedure and the cost of the preparations themselves
comrade, - says Olga Antonova. “But the result may not be at all what you expected.” The fact is that all the hair "take" keratin in absolutely different ways, this is purely individual. How much will get exactly in your case, it is difficult to predict. But to ensure the maximum amount of this component is the main task of the manufacturer. Make sure the percentage of keratin, you must provide this information in the form of certificates, where the corresponding figures should be indicated. Otherwise
In this case, there is a high probability that the minimum amount of keratin in the product and healing of the hair will not occur. ”
One of the main questions asked by customers who are ready to do this specific procedure: how long will such a great result last? Of course, there are certain periods for keratin smoothing (three to five months, depending on the type of hair
and quality further care). Much depends on the initial state of your hair, and compliance with certain rules is of considerable importance. Remember the most important of them: after the smoothing procedure for three days (72 hours), the hair can not be simply washed, but even exposed to any moisture. In addition, it is important to ensure that the strands remain as straight as possible (to avoid the formation of creases). Consequently, no pins, headbands, tight hats and the usual tails. The fact is that keratin polymerization occurs gradually, finally it is fixed in the hair after 72 hours.
“Can't stand a three-day deadline without shampoo?” No problem! Everything has long been thought out, - says Olga Antonova. - You can use dry shampoo from the brand Keratin Complex or SexyHair, and your hair will look fresh and well-groomed all three days.
Those who want to do the procedure in the shortest possible time (that is, within an hour) and not wait 72 hours, the company Keratin Complex suggests not to choose classical straightening, but Express Express Blow Out keratin smoothing procedure. It is created on the basis of the trionic keratin protein and a system of copolymers, which make it possible to get rid of curls, curls, “small demon”, to give the hair smoothness and shine, as well as to reduce the time spent on daily styling. But the main advantage of this procedure is that after eight hours you can wash your hair, make a great styling and go about your business without fear for the result. The procedure itself takes about one hour, which is very attractive for businesswomen who appreciate every minute, but remember that the effect of this procedure will last much less, about six to eight weeks. This is a great way for those who prefer clear geometric haircuts that require perfect smoothness and hair obedience. By the way, the cost of this procedure is much lower than the price of long-term smoothing Keratin Complex. For those who just want to improve their hair, but at the same time preserve their volume, there is an express procedure Intense RX. It reconstructs hair, restores its strength, reduces fragility, saturates hair with 25% natural keratin, making strands more elastic, smooth, shiny and alive after the first use of the product. The result is saved five to six washing procedures and has a cumulative effect. Procedure
ideal for those customers who are concerned about the dryness and porosity of the hair.
In addition, after her hair keeps volume, hair remains smooth, but not perfectly straight, as after a long-term straightening.
The key advantage of Keratin Complex is that this procedure does not damage the disulfide bonds of the hair, they are not destroyed, but only stretched. This is evidenced by the fact that several months after the procedure, the hair returns to its original state. Thus, the procedure can be repeated every four to five months. ”

Keratin or Brazilian hair straightening - what is it?

But experiments with hair do not always end well. Often the result of many changes are dry, unruly brittle strands, which do not want to touch. Have you ever thought about a procedure that will help to cure hair and turn sticking curls into smooth straight strands?

This procedure actually is - keratin hair straightening. The second name is the Brazilian straightening. Keratinization began to gain popularity in the Russian market in 2010.

Advantages of the procedure

What is the peculiarity of the procedure?

• Keratinization is primarily a hair treatment. Keratin, which is the main component, during application to the hair penetrates the hair structure and fills the voids in each hair.

The effect is visible to the naked eye.

• After straightening, the hair becomes smooth, as it is covered on top with a layer of keratin, thanks to which the hair flakes fit snugly together.
• Appearance hairstyles varies considerably. Hair straightening occurs, due to which even curly locks become straight. In addition, the strands get shine and healthy look.

Price and other disadvantages

With so many advantages, keratin straightening has two minuses. The first is the price. The cost of keratinization varies based on the length of the hair and can reach up to 7000-10000 rubles. The second minus is formaldehyde, which is part of the funds. This substance is poisonous to humans and in the case of frequent repetition of the procedure there is a risk of developing cancer.

Lamination and keratinization: what is the difference

Having come to the salon or to the master in order to straighten the hair, you must have come up with two sentences - a procedure using keratin and lamination. Often these procedures are confused with each other, although they do not have much in common.

Lamination is another way to straighten curls, but this procedure is not a treatment.

Lamination differs from keratin straightening in that the procedure involves applying a special agent that forms a thin film on the surface of the hairs that clogs the scales between them (keratin penetrates inside).

Also, the difference between lamination and keratin straightening is the complexity of the work and its duration. Keratin treatment requires up to 4 hours of work, and it's not easy to handle it yourself. 40-60 minutes is enough for lamination and it is possible to complete the task independently.

Effect duration

The keratin treatment technology has become famous not only because of its amazing results, but also due to the duration of the effect. The changes obtained during the application of funds are saved for up to 4-5 months, which makes the treatment truly durable. In addition, keratin has the ability to accumulate in the structure of the hair, and with each new visit to the hairdresser you will have to visit the master less and less. This is the difference between lamination hair and keratin straightening. The effect of the first procedure lasts only 3-4 weeks and it does not have accumulating ability.

Therapeutic effect after the procedure: set matters

There are different types of keratin treatments. The beauty industry market offers women a lot of means for straightening, therefore keratin products also differ from each other.

• The main effect, which is achieved by enveloping the hair, also helps protect the hair from exposure to sunlight, dry air or frost,
• In the funds that do not contain thioglecolic acid and ammonia, there are many amino acids and vitamins that saturate the hair,
• Keratin is obtained from sheep's wool, which makes this product natural and as harmless as possible to the strands and scalp.

Due to the wide range of positive qualities of keratin, you can choose a kit for the procedure yourself and make straightening at home. And so that the treatment is successful, follow the further steps.

Consequences when carried out at home

Starting the procedure at home, read the instructions and make sure that you are not allergic to the contained components in the product. You also need to prepare for the procedure - keratin remedy has a sharp and unpleasant smell.

Do all the procedures in the cabin

Making sure that everything is prepared, go to the treatment of hair.

The first stage is cleansing. Before applying keratin, hair is thoroughly washed with a special shampoo for deep cleansing of sebaceous secretions and dust. If you do not have such a shampoo, you need to wash the strands with ordinary shampoo 2-3 times.

The second stage is application. Without drying the hair, apply keratin composition over the entire length of the hair (backing off 1 cm from the roots). He should lie on the strand without surplus, but cover each hair completely.

The third stage is drying. Using a comb and a hairdryer, the curls are carefully dried.Please note that until the end to eliminate the feeling of moisture on the hair does not work, because keratin has a thick composition, but it is not necessary. Do not be afraid to damage the hair drying - they are protected by means of straightening.

The fourth stage - iron. The final stage, during which the strands are dried to the end. Using the iron, straighten the curls, taking one small strand. Go through each 3-4 times - this will help to consolidate the effect, because during the heat treatment the folding of the proteins that make up the product will begin. Thanks to it hair will get smoothness.

Upon completion of keratinization, the hair should become straight and shiny. In the first 3 days it is impossible to carry out any manipulations with the hairstyle, right up to the straightening of the strands behind the ears - this can lead to curling of the curl, and the hairstyle should not be wetted either.

Enjoy your hair

Yes, straightening at home is not so easy, especially from the first time. But by complying with all the requirements you will get a result that is worth the effort.

My hair, even with a hair dryer, was like fluff, I had to constantly stack it with curling iron and forceps. Brasilian made a blowout, they certainly became straight and healthy looking, but so slick that I was completely disillusioned with this method, plus my head got fat with terrible force. In the first week of soap, it was as much as 2 times a day, because in the evening they hung dirty icicles, and if you don’t wash it in the evening, it would be dark in the morning. And only after 2 months they became as I would like them to be. The composition was smoldering and it is already possible to look at them more or less calmly.

Long result

Straightening and recovery using special tools lasts for three to four months. At this time, you can do styling, paint, often wash your hair. This effect is achieved due to the fact that the impact does not occur on the outer part of the hair, but on its structure. However, you should not have illusions about such a wonderful result. The experience of the master, his conscientious approach to business will play a significant role in this.

Board: Choose a famous master, about whose works there is a lot of information. If possible, chat with former clients. Do not ignore all voiced minuses - they often turn out to be true.

Hair appearance: luxurious "Hollywood" hair

If done correctly, the strands become smooth, obedient, without sharpening ends. They shine, visually thicken. Due to the brilliance that appears, the color becomes deeper, which is especially noticeable on brown-haired women and brunettes. Wavy, curly curls become straight. But do not worry about the volume - it is saved, so you should not be afraid of “icicles”. We all know how strongly the appearance of hair affects the image as a whole, so this result is good news.

Properties that acquire hair

In addition to external changes, clients of salons notice other advantages. Hair becomes stronger, it does not split, because the ends are sealed after the procedure. Significantly reduced fragility - strands retain flexibility even under metal hairpins. Since the hair is protected from all sides, it does not respond to the negative effects of wind, bad water, temperature. However, this does not mean that walking in the frost without a hat will go unpunished.

The strands after the procedure do not get confused, do not electrify, they constantly remain hydrated - it is simply impossible not to appreciate it.

Simplicity of leaving: minimum of means and tools

Owners of wavy hair after the procedure can be safely put off irons, foams and varnishes. If you like to wear long flowing hair - this procedure is perfect. Strands perfectly keep their shape, thus saving a lot of time and effort that previously went to the most simple styling.

Much depends on the client

So that the result, which was mentioned above, managed to gain a foothold on the hair, the first time you must strictly follow the recommendations of the master. For 72 hours it is necessary to protect the hair from any moisture - whether it be water, snow, rain or even heavy fog. Moreover, in order to preserve the effect, in the future you will also have to abandon the bath and sauna - any places where high humidity is combined with high temperatures.

Board: In order not to disturb the result of an expensive procedure, choose a time for straightening, when there is an opportunity to quietly stay at home. Vacation is great. It would not be superfluous to choose dry weather, without prolonged rains and high humidity.

The procedure is quite complicated and lengthy.

Going to the master, you will have to adjust yourself for a long stay in the hairdressing chair. But that's not all: when working with compounds, formaldehyde vapors are released. They are very poisonous, so if poor ventilation can deteriorate, start tearing.

Mistake! In no case do not purchase professional tools for keratin straightening to use them yourself at home. Without special conditions, knowledge and experience, you can seriously poisoned with harmful substances.

Other disadvantages of the procedure

In some cases, the hair after the procedure may appear greasy, which only spoil their appearance - but a good master will necessarily anticipate this. If the hair looks great, there will be no wow effect on them, you should not spend money on the procedure. And one more thing: lovers constantly have to paint themselves to accept the fact that the hair will be worse to absorb the paint.

Keratin recovery costs a lot. To do it or not is a decision that must be made taking into account many factors. And be careful: do the procedure only in a good salon under the control of an experienced master. Be always beautiful!

How to restore hair with keratin?

I studied very carefully what I had to do. I heard a lot of pros and cons, but, nevertheless, I decided to try. I was looking for a master for a long time, choosing one that I liked the photo of the results of keratin straightening, and also arranged the cost. The price of keratin hair restoration is about the same everywhere.

I must say that this procedure is very tiring. First, the hair is washed with a special shampoo, which dries them very much. Then dried with a hairdryer, then treated with keratin and begin to strand after strand with an iron adjusted to a certain temperature.

The smell during the procedure is terrible - sharp and sickening. As far as I know, it smells formalin contained in keratin. Many sources claim that this substance accumulates in the human body and leads to cancer. I am sure that the shampoos that we use on a daily basis are much more harmful for hair than keratin every 3-4 months. The master during work must necessarily use protection for the respiratory tract, for example, a mask, otherwise the smell can become very bad.

After the procedure, I was warned that you can not wash your head for 3 days. You can not use regular shampoos, but only those that do not contain sulfates.

Is there any effect?

Of course, the hair changes dramatically. Hair is incredibly soft, smooth, shiny, longer, and even the color changes to bright and rich. With such hair, I did not see even after laying in the salon. Nevertheless, I was shocked that a good half of the volume was gone. The hairstyle has become what is called slick. This fact confused me a little, but the master said it was temporary.

At home, I constantly approached the mirror, touched my hair, stroked it, because it was incredibly soft and silky. Awesome effect! Three days later I washed my head and made sure that the “slimness”, as the master had promised, had disappeared. In addition, there was a light wave. Therefore, you should not expect that the hair will be perfectly smooth all the time. But split ends and untidy fluffiness will leave. The hairstyle will look like a silk cloth - hair to hair.

After washing, I no longer styled my hair with a hair dryer, it was enough just to dry them with a towel and comb. I was very pleased that now I could not worry about my hairstyle. Now I always looked neat.

Significant minus

There was one flaw that spoiled the whole impression from this procedure. Since keratin significantly thickens and weights the hair, the load on the bulb increases several times. Therefore, hair falls out faster. Personally, they began to fly with me at an incredible speed. I was extremely concerned about this fact, but nothing could be done. I read on the Internet reviews about keratin straightening, it turned out that many girls have the same problem.

Still did not like the fact that the hair can not be given volume. Nevertheless, I got used to a more lush and soft hair, so this ideal smoothness was unusual for me.

How long does the effect last?

The effect of the procedure lasts from 3 to 5 months. With the repeated procedure longer than after the first. Keratin is gradually washed out, but the hair still remains very soft and smooth. Before the second procedure, the curls look much healthier than before using keratin.

Despite all the advantages of the procedure, I still decided not to renew keratinization for the time being. This is probably not mine. Yes, and trichologists say that hair is simply preserved in formalin, without receiving any nutrients. In the end, the hair will simply collapse.

Maybe I'm wrong, and you think otherwise. Share your opinion, I will be interested!

Is keratin hair straightening harmful?

The beauty industry does not stand still, and every year more and more new treatments appear. One of these innovations was keratin hair straightening. This procedure immediately gained popularity among the fair sex. After all within a few hours, long curls acquired a well-groomed appearance and perfect smoothness . And the achieved effect was preserved for half a year! But is the composition safe for your strands and is keratin hair straightening harmful? Let's try to understand in detail all the intricacies of this hairdressing service.

Keratin straightening: the essence of the procedure

Natural hair for the most part consists of a protein compound of high strength. Keratin is part of its stratum corneum, protecting our strands from the negative effects of the environment. .

The main indication for keratin straightening is the restoration of the hair structure by saturation with protein structures.The structure as if seals hair from all directions, reliably protecting from all adverse factors. The procedure allows you to update each hair from root to tip, creating the effect of perfect smoothness.

Those who used keratin at home in masks and shampoos did not feel the stunning effect. Yes, the hair began to look more well-groomed, but such a result can be achieved from any semi-professional means. What is the secret? Everything is simple here - high temperatures. Keratin denaturation temperature is 229 0 . And in order for it to penetrate deep into the structure and really firmly entrenched in the hair, each molecule of fibrillar protein must be heated to such a state. Therefore, the enrichment of conventional keratin care products does not give such a stunning result.

The benefits of keratin straightening

Perhaps not everything is so catastrophic, and keratin straightening is really good for hair. After all, this procedure does have a lot of advantages:

• Hair after the procedure looks healthy and strong . They are not tangled, unpretentious in laying and retain their smoothness even in rainy weather.
• Keratin does not adversely affect the hair structure. So the procedure can be applied on thin and weak hair.
• Keratinization provides a long-term effect, and the achieved result is maintained for up to 6 months.
• The composition applied to the strands, hair provides reliable protection from the sun, wind and temperature changes.
• You can safely wear hats in the cold season, without worrying that the styling will wrinkle and your hair to electrify after contact with synthetic material.
• Keratin composition restores strands damaged by dyes and perm .
• The keratinizing procedure can be easily combined with hair coloring. Protein does not react with the active components of the coloring composition, which does not require correction of the exposure time of the ink.

But if everything is so rosy, why is the opinion of trichologists about the safety of the procedure for your hair divided?

Damage to keratinization

Already, many girls have appreciated the advantages of keratin straightening. But the controversy about the dangers and benefits around the caring procedure does not subside. Although, assessing the results of the masters it is difficult to imagine that the effect obtained is achieved by the method of harmful effects on the hair. Let's open the secrets that stylists and hairdressers hold back:

• Keratin-based impregnation makes hair heavier . And this puts additional strain on the hair follicles, making them weaker. Very often this leads to brittle hair and hair loss.
• Under its own weight strands are smoothed, and the hair loses volume. So for owners of thin hair, the resulting effect may differ from the expected.
• The treated hair is located very close to each other, which increases the intensity of the impregnation of the strands with sebum. For this reason, the head has to be washed a maximum of every two days. And everyone knows that frequent washing is not the best way displayed on the state of the hair and scalp.
• Keratin denaturation requires high temperatures. Therefore, the treatment of the strands is made with an iron heated to 230 0, which is disastrous for the hair.
• Unscrupulous masters in the composition of keratin mixtures use formaldehyde, known for its harmful effects on the body. . In addition, in the process of heating, the vapors of formaldehyde evaporate and get into the respiratory tract, causing severe dizziness and other symptoms of intoxication.

There is no single answer to the question whether keratin hair straightening is harmful. And the final result will depend on the qualifications of the master and the quality of the composition used.

Do not attempt to perform the procedure yourself at home. Due to insufficient heating of the strands, you can only worsen the condition of the hair. And the use of cheap funds can lead to poisoning by toxic fumes.

Recommendations: how to protect hair from harmful effects

If you are not afraid of the damage that can be done to your strands, then make sure that this damage is minimal. Some recommendations will help you with this:

1. Do not use the services of masters, offering to carry out the procedure at home. Usually such offers attract a low price. But this is not a situation where you can save.
2. In the room where keratinization is carried out, a powerful extractor must be installed. Check this point while recording.
3. Choose formulations for keratinizing without formaldehyde . Toxic products will cost much cheaper than high-quality keratin mixture. Therefore, in order to save, many masters prefer them. But in our case, health must come first.
4. All precautions must be observed and the strand processing technique must be strictly observed. Please note that the keratin composition is not subject to dilution of water. In the final formula, water molecules can disrupt protein structures, depriving the composition of all the necessary properties.
5. Keratin-treated hair cannot be dried with hot air. Premature exposure to high temperatures can lead to protein folding and destruction of hair structure. Using a hair dryer is only possible in cold mode.
6. When applying the product, avoid contact with the skin. Rich chemical composition may well cause a serious allergic reaction. .

If you carefully think through all the nuances and take into account the above recommendations, the potential harm to hair from keratin straightening can be avoided.

Keratinisation and pregnancy: are there any risks

We should also pay attention to the possibility of the procedure for girls during pregnancy. Mummies like you never want to be beautiful and well-groomed. But with chemical experiments on hair it is worth to wait. Even the usual coloring is not recommended during this period, what to speak about straightening with keratin .

The whole problem is again in formaldehyde. This substance has a high level of tetragene and can lead to disruption of embryonic development. Yes, during the procedure, masks are used to prevent the ingress of toxic fumes into the airways. But this degree of protection for the girl in the position is not enough, since the composition can be absorbed through the scalp.

In addition, we should not forget that during pregnancy, the hormones of a woman are unstable, and it will be extremely difficult to predict the result of the procedure. There is a very high probability that the composition will not affect the hair at all or will even more fluff it.

The duration of the procedure is 3-4 hours. A fixed sitting in a chair for a long time can cause edema in a pregnant woman.

The mechanism of keratin effects on hair

Human hair is almost entirely made up of keratin. .

Definition

Keratin is part of human hair. When it is lacking, they become dull, lose their smoothness, softness and elasticity, become brittle. Partly for this reason, it is used as a major component for formulations that are used for procedures. The process of keratin straightening itself is a set of actions for applying and maintaining the cosmetic composition at a certain temperature on the hair to smooth and improve the structure of the hair.

Due to the complexity of the organization of the process, the procedure can be performed only in the cabin with the help of an experienced master.

Contraindications

Among the main restrictions on the use of:

• allergic to hair formulations and their individual components,
• wounds, damage to the scalp of various types, dermatological diseases,
• tendency to prolapse, weak hair follicles,
• pregnancy and lactation,
• age to eighteen.

Keratinization is not for everyone. Before you go through this procedure, it is recommended to consult a dermatologist or trichologist.

Stages of

As a rule, in order to get to a specialist on keratin recovery, you must pre-register and arrive on the appointed day. The process usually takes about three to five hours, depending on the length and quality of the hair. It takes place in several stages:

• hair washing (special attention is paid to cleansing the hair and scalp, it is carried out with special strong preparations for high-quality washing),
• drying, leveling,
• hair coating composition over the entire length,
• Drying with hair dryer
• treatment with a rectifier at high temperatures,
• removal of residues of the drug,
• final drying with a hair dryer.

Blond hair is more susceptible to damage, so when processing it the temperature of the rectifiers diminishes to two hundred degrees. The same is done with heavily damaged and weak hair.

In most cases, with high-quality hair treatment, its owner gets a smooth and well-groomed hair on the very first day of post straightening. Usually, the result after the first treatment lasts up to four months, sometimes up to six months. However, much depends on the type of hair, their thickness and the presence of damage. Corrections can be carried out as needed, but it is best not to do it too often, so that they can rest.

In order to keep the effect of keratisation as long as possible, it is recommended to properly care for your hair. To do this, it is important to use mild detergents for cleansing and care, as well as try to avoid too hard and chlorinated water. It is best to give up on trips to the sauna and bath, since high temperatures will nullify all the results. When bathing in open ponds and pools, it is desirable to use protective cosmetic compositions.

Correction is not recommended too often. If with each new procedure the hair becomes more dull, it is necessary to take a break for one to two months.

In this video we will tell the whole truth about keratin straightening.

Conclusion

Keratin hair restoration can be very effective in improving the structure of damaged and straightening unruly hair.. However, if applied too often, the technique can have a negative effect on the hair and it will be difficult to restore it.. Therefore, in order to achieve high quality of the procedure, it is necessary to choose the best masters, consult with the doctors and not abuse the corrections.

Arguments for keratin straightening

The procedure is suitable for everyone. Thin, curly, porous, brittle, unsuccessfully curled, fluffy hair - keratin will help to cope with any. And it is permissible to do it for coloring, and the color will not get away after that. As well as you can dye your hair after the procedure (most importantly, do not do it in the first three days).

My hair is wavy, thick and coarse - a normal combination, but it annoys me. In their natural form, wearing them loose or assembled was equally uncomfortable.

Hair looks well-groomed and expensive. Surely you noticed that the stars have hair in a single canvas. And even if the wind rises or drizzles, the hairstyle does not turn into a witch's house. This result most often provides keratin straightening. It facilitates combing, creates a glossy sheen, provides smoothness.

The result remains for a long time. While the effect of other procedures lasts from one to three months, keratin can improve the appearance of hair for up to six months.

In my experience, with good care, the effect lasts longer than the salon promised a few months. Moreover, more than a year has passed, and the hair has not returned to its original state.

Laying takes little time. By and large, you will not need styling in the usual sense of the word at all. Hair will be enough to wash and comb. If desired, you can collect in the tail or weave intricately. It is not necessary to straighten hair, but curling is impossible (or rather, it will not work, because curls after keratin do not hold the shape).

My hair is still thick, but softer to the touch, the wave is lighter. When the hair dries, it looks more like the beach is full, than crumpled hair (as it was before). I wash them, dry land without a hairdryer - and that's it.

Keratin makes hair strong. And all because it is a protein that is the basis of the hair, its structural material. During the procedure, a preparation containing keratin is applied to the strands and then sealed with an ironing device. So the product restores the hair structure, protects it from brittleness and adverse external factors.

Arguments against keratin straightening

The product contains formaldehyde. It is a carcinogen that can cause poisoning, an allergic reaction or provoke the development of cancer.

To avoid this, during the procedure, the master and the client wear special masks to avoid breathing substances released during the hair ironing. In the reviews, some clients say that during the procedure they had watery eyes, there was a feeling of discomfort. And some of them had their hair ruined. Who often talks about such troubles? Girls who addressed private traders. Therefore, to the question whether it is possible to do a keratin straightening at home, an unambiguous and firm answer: “No!”

More natural alternatives exist (for example, Cezanne Perfect Finish), but, in my experience, they work worse, despite the fact that the stylists in the salon claim otherwise. It's a pity.

Hair look dirty. Another consequence of the procedure can be called the fact that after it you have to wash your hair more often. If they are fatty in type, then the situation will only get worse: there will be a feeling of greasiness.

Hairstyle loses volume. Are you sure you have thick hair? Then after keratin they will beautifully lay down. And if there are few of them (and the volume arises just due to the fact that they slightly twist or push), then the procedure will expose the problem. And since the hair will not curl either on the curling iron or on the curlers, you will have to walk with a feeling of “three hairs” until the drug is completely washed out.

Before you go to the salon or perform this restoration at home, familiarize yourself with the contraindications for its implementation. Who is this service for?

1. Owners of dull curls.
2. Owners of naughty curls.

Important! Many are interested in the question: is it possible for pregnant women to do keratin hair straightening? The definite answer is no! The same applies to women during lactation.

Consequences of straightening

Is keratin hair straightening harmful? it depends on the quality of keratin mix selected for the service. Basically, after this procedure, the feedback is positive. Curls become more obedient, it becomes easier to make styling. They have a healthy gloss and silkiness.

In this video, one of the reviews on keratin recovery, made four months after the procedure at home:

However, some have noted that the effect of straightening is less on heavy strands. Hairstyle is not so voluminous.

Therefore, if you want to make keratin hair straightening for the sake of straightening, then this is not advisable. All the same The main goal of this procedure is to restore the hair structure. .

Subtleties of care after the procedure

Depends on compliance with the listed nuances how long will the effect be from this service. So how to care for hair after keratin straightening?

1. For 3 days, refuse to wash your hair, hair and styling.
2. Use only keratin-free, sulfate-free shampoo.
3. Thoroughly dry the curls after washing.
4. For many, an important question: is it possible to dye hair after keratin straightening? To do the staining is allowed 2-3 weeks after keratin treatment.

Hair care after keratin straightening is not so difficult, but following all these recommendations is important so that your curls stay healthy and beautiful as long as possible.

The effect of such a recovery on all is individual: it all depends not only on the condition of the strands, but also on how well the procedure was carried out and the quality of the means used.

What is better - lamination or keratin hair straightening?

Lamination is more aimed at creating a visual effect, so if the aesthetic component is more important to you, then this service will suit you.

Straightening is more aimed at improving the hair structure, so the composition for this procedure stronger than lamination . And the effect of keratinization is more resistant. Keratin treatment is a great opportunity to restore hair and give it a well-groomed look.

Opinion of the doctor-trichologist on lamination and keratin straightening, as well as an exotic procedure - pyrophoresis in this video:

Luxurious, well-groomed and beautiful hair - a decoration for any woman. However, not all of us can boast of healthy hair and their magnificent appearance. Today there are a lot of procedures.

Keratin hair straightening, pros and cons

Luxurious, well-groomed and beautiful hair - a decoration for any woman. However, not all of us can boast of healthy hair and their magnificent appearance. Today there are a lot of procedures that allow you to strengthen and protect hair from the harmful effects of the environment, as well as to give them exactly the shape you want. One of these procedures is keratin hair straightening.

Any owner of curls at least once in my life thought about how she would look with absolutely straight hair.

You must admit that even if your hair is simply disobedient, crumbled and does not want to fit - at least once in your life you have thought about how good it would be to have straight, shiny and beautiful hair.

There is even a joke on this account that a woman with straight hair wants to curl it, and with curly hair - to straighten it.

Women are oddly arranged ... However, pulling the hair with an iron is harmful and long, straightening it with a hair dryer using mousses and foams is ineffective.

Is there a way out? Yes, he, as always, is.

Recently, keratin hair straightening has become very popular. Let's see what exactly explains the general passion of the fair sex by this procedure. What are the advantages and disadvantages of keratin hair straightening and what is this procedure in principle?

And Nina Korol will help us in this, a hairdresser - a fashion designer, a technologist - colorist, a teacher of the “hairdresser’s art” course with 10 years of experience and working in the Beauty Point salon (in Northern Cyprus). Since the topic is very interesting, and finding the full information on it was not so easy, I turned to Nina for help. So…

-Nina, you should probably tell at the beginning of our article about keratin itself.

What is keratin?

Keratin is a protein of special strength, which is part of the stratum corneum of nails, hair and skin. Together with it, other components are included in the hair, and keratin itself is in a certain sense “liquid hair”.

This is what explains its protective qualities. Keratin hair straightening is a procedure, the main part of which takes place under the influence of high temperature, as a result of which keratin is folded and turns into a solid protective layer.

During the procedure, each hair is covered with a protective film. This film is not durable and under the influence of shampoos, it is gradually washed off the hair.

-Nina, who will this procedure suit?

-Who can and can not do keratin hair straightening?

Before you decide to conduct such a procedure, read the contraindications to it. Perhaps you are among the women to whom such a procedure will bring only benefit, or maybe it is you who will not fit at all.

So, keratin hair straightening is shown:

owners of curly hair, poorly styling,

owners of dull and unruly hair.

There are much more contraindications to this procedure, but in the course of the enumeration we will dwell on some of them in more detail, since the question is controversial. I will list and explain:

A controversial point is the contraindication for diseases of the scalp. Not all diseases will deprive you of the opportunity to get even and straight hair, but still pre-consult with a doctor does not hurt. But if you think sensibly, then knowing the procedure for applying the composition to the hair, I can tell you that chemicals do not come into direct contact with the skin.
The same can tell you about the damage to the scalp. Even the smallest wounds are supposedly a contraindication for keratin straightening. This is pure fiction.
Pregnancy and lactation. In this period, everything is dangerous, if you look, therefore, really, you should not do extra gestures during this period.
Tendency to cancer. If patients are frightened by the fact. that the procedure is accompanied by the release of formaldehyde, it is possible during the procedure to use a respirator and not think about the negative consequences, although it will save and just a simple draft or fan. And we must take into account the fact that not all keratin formulations currently contain substances that, when heated, produce formaldehydes.
Hair loss. After the procedure, the hair becomes heavier, which means that it can lead to even more hair loss. This myth also has a place to be, but from my own experience, I can convince you that hair loss is in no way associated with keratinization, since the active substances do not interact with the skin and cannot act on the hair follicle, but the explanation is that keratin weights so much the hair that it falls out is no good. Hair loss is a disease belonging to the category of metabolic disorders of the whole organism, and the most destructive factors are stress.

- It remains to summarize and highlight the main points that need to be taken into account.

Advantages and disadvantages of keratin hair straightening.

Disputes about the pros and cons of the procedure have not subsided for a long time. Highlight the main advantages and disadvantages of keratin hair straightening, appreciated that everyone can make their choice.

So, the main advantages of the procedure include the following:

Easy combing. For those who have to comb curly hair every day, it is not worth explaining how much strength and nerves are spent on this procedure. After keratin straightening, hair can be easily combed even when wet.
The procedure is suitable for all types of hair. Such straightening is a kind of hair treatment. Keratin mixture, interacting with hair molecules, gradually grows together with them.
The hair is shiny and smooth. Shiny hair - synonymous with grooming and health. This plus is perhaps the most significant among all.
The duration of the effect. Keratin hair straightening is able to hold the obtained effect for one to two months. And with each procedure, keratin accumulates in the hair, which later (approximately one and a half to two years) of constant use, the period may increase to 6 months.
Preservation of styling. Whatever the weather outside - rain, wind, heat, your styling will remain in its original form. Hair will not be tangled and will not start curling.
Protective function. Keratin hair straightening perfectly protects your hair from polluted air, dust, exposure to sunlight.
Hair stops to push and electrify, the tips do not split. This advantage is especially important in the cold season.
There is a possibility to correct an unsuccessful perm.If you didn’t like the result of the perm, then keratin restoration is the only way to get straight hair back in two weeks.

Having defined the advantages of the procedure, it is necessary to mention the existing shortcomings. The disadvantages of keratin hair straightening include:

1. There are compositions, after use of which it is forbidden to wash your hair for 72 hours after the procedure and visit places with high humidity - baths, saunas, swimming pools. If, after the procedure, you are exposed to rain, the whole effect may simply disappear. You also can not perform any mechanical actions on the hair during the same time, for example, to collect them in a bun, tail, weave pigtails. Modern keratins shorten this period to one day.
   2. Within two weeks after straightening it is impossible to dye your hair with ammonia dye. Tonics are preferred during this period.
   3. Possible manifestation of allergic reactions. If you are intolerant of individual components of the composition of the product, it is better to refuse the procedure.
   4. Risk of poisoning with formaldehyde. Such a deficiency can occur only if the procedure is performed by an inexperienced master in an unventilated room.
   5. Reducing hair volume. Due to the elimination of the fluffiness effect, the hair will lose a little in volume.
   6. The procedure lasts a long time. In the event that the length of your hair exceeds the length of your shoulders, be prepared to devote at least 3 hours of personal time to straightening.
   7. After the procedure, you will not restore the “waviness” that nature has awarded you. Only in a month - two everything will fall into place.
   8. A truly high-quality procedure will cost you a pretty penny.
   The result of keratin hair straightening largely depends on their condition, the professionalism of the master and the quality of the tools he uses in his work.

-Nina, and tell me how to care for your hair after keratinizing? What can and can not?

- Care does not require something special, you should only remember that shampoos with sulphate content reduce the period of keratin wearing, as aggressive leaching occurs, as well as bathing in salt water leads to an equivalent effect.

-Can I curl my hair after keratin?

- Of course you can, it is important to just know that in a humid atmosphere your curls will not hold as well as before the procedure.

-Nina, are all the keratinizing compositions the same and which ones are the best?

- Of course, there cannot and should not be exactly the same compositions, each is good in his own way. The only thing that needs to be understood when choosing a composition is that it cannot be cheap, and it should satisfy your needs. For example, there are compounds that straighten hair very well and they are suitable for absolutely everyone, but if you are used to hair, i.e. to the volume on the head, then after the procedure you may be unpleasantly surprised by the fact that there is absolutely no previous volume and it will not be possible to shake lokan. But there are compounds that provide excellent care and shine, while not straightening hair and it is suitable for thin, dry and fluffy hair, while the hair itself thickens and looks healthy.

The same manufacturer has several keratin series, depending on the needs of the client.

The best are the Brazilian drugs.

Cadevia is the best tool if you need a good straightening.

For thick and thin hair, the best tool will be brazilian Blowout

Fine and sparse hair is well suited Daniel Philipp
