The health and strength of our hair are directly dependent on the presence of cortex in them. In turn, the cortex is a layer of dead cells under the cuticle. Cortex cells are composed of keratin. In humans, keratin is produced and synthesized by keratinocytes. Cells move up and, dying, create a protective layer for new cells. The higher the keratin layer, the better the condition of the hair and, conversely, if there is a shortage of keratin, the hair becomes dry and brittle, loses its elasticity, becomes very electrified and does not have luster. Such hair simply needs professional care and treatment.
Keratin treatment is one of the most effective ways to restore hair. The task of this professional procedure is to deliver all the necessary substances inside the hair through its protective sheath. The active substance (natural keratin) envelops the hair from the outside, and then penetrates inside, filling all the voids in the hair structure, smoothing damage and cracks. The keratin layer is fixed by large biopolymer molecules and becomes part of the hair. Keratin recovery restores hair elasticity, shine and silkiness.

How is keratin hair treatment better than other ways of healing?
First, the quick result. After the first procedure, the proper effect is achieved.

Secondly, practicality. The procedure is suitable for all types of hair, and the more they are damaged, the more effective the keratin repair process will be.

Thirdly, harmlessness. Keratin-based cosmetics do not harm the scalp and hair.

Fourth, lasting effect. During 4-6 months the hair will look as great as the day of the procedure.

Fifth, keratin treatment can give a double effect if you need not only to restore the hair, but also to straighten it.
Keratin hair straightening - the only truly harmless way to get rid of fluffy and curly hair. In this case, keratin plays the role of long-term styling products. After this procedure, you will forget about daily styling, as the hair will keep its shape perfectly, maintain its shine and smoothness even in wet weather. Keratin hair straightening can be used even after bleaching hair or perms.

Hair keratinization

It is not surprising that we all have individual ideas about beauty. With the advent of new technologies, it has become quite possible to become the one you see in your dreams.

For example, for girls with curly or simply fluffy hair, it is now quite possible to achieve the desired perfect smoothness and straight hair using kerastasis, and for those whose hair is straight but not silky, keratisation can serve as an excellent help in combating this nuisance.

Keratin restoration, treatment and straightening hair provides a significant improvement in their appearance, smoothness, shine, ease of combing and healthy looking hair.

They become much more pleasant to the touch, as well as much more docile and resistant to all sorts of negative influences, for example, from direct sunlight, from the weather, from the general unfavorable atmosphere in big cities.

If you want to improve the condition of your hair, special attention should be paid to shampoos that you use. A frightening figure - in 97% of shampoos of famous brands are substances that poison our body. The main components, due to which all the troubles, on the labels are designated as sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, coco sulfate. These chemicals destroy the structure of the hair, the hair becomes brittle, lose elasticity and strength, the color fades. But the worst thing is that this filth enters the liver, heart, lungs, accumulates in the organs and can cause cancer. We advise against using the means in which these substances are located. Recently, experts of our editorial staff conducted an analysis of sulfate-free shampoos, where the first place was taken by funds from the company Mulsan Cosmetic. The only manufacturer of all-natural cosmetics. All products are manufactured under strict quality control and certification systems. We recommend to visit the official online store mulsan.ru. If you doubt the naturalness of your cosmetics, check the expiration date, it should not exceed one year of storage.

In order to understand how it works, you must first conduct a small educational program in terminology.

Keratin is a protein that basically consists of our hair. About ninety percent of their composition is he.

The keratin hair restoration agent contains not only itself, but also other substances that together form something similar to hair that has been converted into a liquid form. When hair is treated with this composition, it naturally covers the cuticle (cutaneous part) of the hair, and also has a beneficial effect on the follicles - special bags that protect the hair follicle under the skin.

The cuticle itself has a protective function and consists of microscopic scales that fit one another tightly if the hair is healthy and smooth. If the hair was damaged - physically or chemically (meaning staining or perm, for example), then it immediately becomes noticeable by the lack of healthy shine, confusion, brittleness and dryness of the hair. However, curly people, these scales are naturally damaged, due to which, in fact, the hair and curled into ringlets.

In order to smooth these flakes and cover them with an additional protective layer, keratization is applied. This oil allows you to further nourish and strengthen our hair. The benefit that it provides is visible to the naked eye in the photo taken by those who have already tried this technique.

After the hair is covered with a keratin mask, they are protected by special means; a curling iron goes in, which straightens the hair and makes them keep their shape.

Keratin hair straightening - cons, which is worth knowing

I don’t know about you, but before testing myself, I always try to find the maximum amount of information about it on the Internet. It is quite obvious that there are always those who are “for” and there are always those who are “against”, but such information gathering at least allows you to know in advance what you are going to do with yourself and whether it will not have disastrous consequences for your health and your beauty. So, that's what I managed to find about keratin hair straightening ...

During this procedure, your hair, pre-washed with a special shampoo, is applied a special solution, which includes keratin, protein and other auxiliary nutrients. Molecules of the main active ingredient - keratin, penetrate deep into the hair cuticle and act on its condition from the inside, not only straightening, but also protecting it from external negative factors. So, according to cosmetologists, those who have keratin hair straightening are not afraid of ultraviolet rays or nicotine fumes. Hair is protected from the inside and full of strength and health. In addition, if their condition after all your hairdressing experiments leaves much to be desired - this procedure, among other things, also treats them. So, even “killed” by chelation and chemistry, the hair is restored and again looks well-groomed, healthy, luxurious, and most importantly - straight (recall that straight hair is now in trend).

However, it is here that we come up against the first, but very significant "but" - after applying a special composition to the hair, they are also straightened with an iron to “polish” the effect, so to speak, and if the condition of your hair is initially already leaves much to be desired - additional “ironing” is unlikely to give them health, even with the condition of pre-application of keratin composition on such hair.

Therefore, the words that keratin straightening "heals" hair - and in parallel with this, the use of a special hair straightener, which “works” at a temperature of 230 degrees Celsius, suggests an obvious contradiction.

Special composition for keratin hair straightening

We have already written that the composition for straightening hair includes not only keratin, but also protein, nutrients, and also ... it contains formaldehyde. Yes, yes, you were not mistaken, the same formaldehyde, which is a carcinogen, which provokes the development of cancer. And when such a composition (with formaldehyde) is applied to your hair, all its components - not only keratin, but also carcinogen, penetrate your body, and begin to slowly, but surely act there - negatively affect genetics, your respiratory organs and of view, as well as, affect your nervous system.

And now think about whether your "Brazilian" hair straightening is a health problem?

But, even if your master barber starts claiming that his composition does not contain formaldehyde for straightening - do not believe him. If there was no formaldehyde, there would be no hair straightening for such a long period. In addition, it is enough to smell the mixture that you put on your hair, as you see that formaldehyde, “flavored” with all kinds of fragrances, is still there ...

The truth about keratin hair straightening

After the first time straightening the hair with keratin, or rather the next day - you really admire the work of the master, but ... instead of the promised 4-6 months of healthy and even hair, after 2-3 months you realize that your hair returns to its former state, begin to curl, cross, cease to shine and look healthy (no wonder - the keratin is washed off!). You immediately hurry to the master in order to prolong the effect of the magical action of keratin, turning a blind eye to the fact that instead of the promised 6 months, you were a beauty, only half of this period, you are doing keratin hair straightening again and ...

terrified. Hair not only did not look better (you hoped for it and paid a lot of money for it) - they began to look worse, besides, you feel the constant itching and burning of the scalp. That's the case! Nobody warned you about this (except for us, of course). Yes, yes, those who did this procedure very often (more than once) complain that the result of the repeated experiment on their hair, unfortunately, disappointed them.

The first compositions for keratin hair straightening had their own characteristics - after they were applied to the hair ... it was impossible to wash the head for 3 whole days, as well as to comb and pin down the hair. Today, the composition has become more modern, but ... be prepared for the fact that after such a straightening, your master suddenly informs you about such features of this procedure (he just has "old" stocks of keratin) ...

In defense of keratin hair straightening

And, nevertheless, we are not hypocrites, we are for women to be beautiful, but to achieve such beauty with the help of modern and harmless methods. Including keratin hair straightening. Therefore, if you have already decided on such a procedure - choose a really good salon, a proven master and try to learn as much information as possible about the composition of your keratin, prepare your hair for this procedure - they should not be "killed" and even after keratin hair straightening - continue to care for them.

And yet ... our mothers and grandmothers did not know anything about keratin hair straightening, however, this does not mean at all that they all walked with hair like tow. Simply, in order to achieve health and beauty of hair, they chose other methods and options - harmless and natural, which we wish you.

Myths about keratinization or about whether you can harm yourself by trying kerastasis?

There are many myths about the effects of a curt hair straightening mask. You can sort them all in order, as well as read the reviews of those who have already tried Brazilian keratin treatment and hair restoration, see the photo "before" and "after." And make your own decision about whether to do it or not, and if you do, how and where.

So, the myths that surround keratinization on all sides:

• After doing keratin restoration, the hair allegedly begins to climb.

We have already figured out the technical side of the issue and are well aware that the keratin mask is applied not to the head, but to the hair itself. In order to trace exactly what caused the hair loss, you need to think about the fact that the hair does not immediately react to any factors that cause harm. It may well be that about three months ago you had some kind of stress, or, for example, you were unwell and it affected your hair only now. When any “emergency” situation in the body happens, he begins to collect resources from those parts that are less needed at this moment, for example, from hair. If you monitor your health and during the replenish the supply of essential nutrients, the loss will stop very quickly. But to say that the keratin mask is to blame is not true. In the same way, as well as to hope that with their help it will be possible to recover from a hair loss.

Treatment and restoration of hair with keratin produces an exclusively external, cosmetic effect that cannot and should not serve as a medicine.

• Liquid keratin when applied to the hair allegedly gives off life-threatening substances, which are harmful to breathe and that can cause cancer and anything else, even the worst options.

There is some truth in this - when a keratin mask is applied to the hair, the gases that are commonly called useful evaporates, of course, but there are several small “buts”: first, since these substances are emitted in the form of gas, your hair they cannot get in any way - the gas evaporates, and is not absorbed into them, and secondly, the gases, as we know, are light, volatile substances, which

they are trying to fly up, not down, which means that you simply cannot breathe in with this filth. Thirdly, the whole problem of “harmful gas”, inflated to unbelievable sizes, is solved only by good ventilation in the room. Well, or, say, the simplest fan ... In addition, it is worth reading the reviews of those who have already tried to straighten hair in this way and consider the photo. Also, do not use cosmetics brands know, and trust trusted companies, otherwise, you are unlikely to enjoy the lessons learned, the price of which is too high.

• After completing the course of keratin masks, the hair allegedly becomes much worse.

Except for the few exceptions, women who do keratin treatment and hair straightening, by nature have not the most luxurious head of hair. They may have fluffy, curly hair that does not shine by nature and have a slurred shape. After the keratin mask is made, the hair becomes smooth, shiny and docile, and even straight, because it is a curling and not just keratin means. And then for some reason they want to interrupt the course and their hair returns to its original state. The well-known truth that you get used to good things quickly becomes more true than ever.Girls for such a long period of time, for which keratin oil is washed out from the hair, forget about what they were before and begin to blame the technology itself for not arranging it in its hair from the very beginning. And again, it is worth reading the reviews of people who really objectively look at themselves and also evaluate what is happening. For example, on the Internet there is a huge amount of various videos and photos, where similar results are shown, and also there is a photo where you can see the condition of girls' hair before and after the procedure.

• If I want to return the curls, after keratin the curl will not be available to me.

This is not the case; after keratin hair restoration, the wave is quite possible, the only thing that this wave will be short-lived: during rainy weather, the hair will tend to return to its original straightened state, so if you plan to do the styling, and then go outside in the rain, remember that all perm can go down the drain.

Reviews keratin recovery

• spring_illusion

Good day to all! Today I will talk about such a procedure as “keratin recovery”, what it has in common with keratin straightening, and what risks it has for your hair.

First of all, there is a terrible confusion about this procedure. Under the guise of "restoration of keratin" in the salons of which they just don’t try to sell to clients.

Manufacturers of home care products keep up with the salons, calling “keratin” and “keratin-based” even those products in which the keratin sought is smaller than the dust that the mole flies past.

So, what is keratin and why is everyone so obsessed with it?

Keratin - a type of protein (protein), the main element of the hair.

It is from keratin that the inner structure of the hair is composed, it is he who forms keratin chains, the bundles of which make up what we used to call hair.

These chains are fastened together by special types of bonds that hold keratin fibers together:

- Hydrogen bonds. This is about a third of all "couplings" inside the hair. They are very unstable and collapse under the action of even water, which, however, is not terrible - after drying, they self-repair. That is why if you wind wet hair with curlers, curls appear in a dried form on straight hair, and the next time you get wet, they will disappear again.

- Ionic (salt) communication. Also not particularly resistant. This kind of "coupling" is usually destroyed when the normal pH of the hair is shifted to too acidic or too alkaline side (and this happens with any persistent hair dye, using soap for washing the head, etc.).

- Disulfide (sulfur) bridges - the most durable, such a "hitch" is not broken by water or when washing the head. Such links can be broken in 2 ways:

- using aggressive chemical procedures - dyeing hair with durable dyes (OUTSIDE DEPENDING ON THAT, ammonia dye or not, if the manufacturer has promised you to firmly dye your hair, parts of connections are definitely the end), or perm (straightening),

- exposure to high temperatures (over 130-150 degrees Celsius).

And now let's see what happens during such a procedure as “keratin recovery” - it is also - hair straightening (using the example of COCOCHOCO Keratin Treatment). Promises of the manufacturer and scheme of application:

COCOCHOCO Keratin Treatment - A unique procedure that restores hair keratin, lost as a result of staining, other chemical and thermal effects. Using the Keratin Treatment method is a salon procedure performed by professional stylists. During the procedure, the product is applied to the prepared hair, absorbed into them, dried and drawn out.

During the procedure, a one-component composition is used - Mask for hair restoration and straightening “Working composition”. After applying the mask, the hair is dried and drawn out with ironing tongs, passing each strand 5-7 times. Temperature 230⁰С.

Here you have all the “wonders” of straightening - yes, disulfide bonds of the hair are “killed” not by chemical composition. They are killed by exposure to ultra-high temperature!

By the way, the same thing happens when using aggressive dyes or when lightening hair (for example, after blondoran powder), which is why a washcloth instead of hair is such a frequent attribute in blondes.

Hair with the loss of the necessary "couplings" just break up. Hence, numerous complaints of brittleness and cross-section of hair after keratin straightening (this becomes noticeable not immediately, but after a few months, because many of the sad state of hair do not bind with keratin).

Of course, not all hair definitely comes to an end after such events. Some types of hair (thick, hard and durable) can survive such a mockery not even once, but several times. But thin and weak (or already painted), as a rule, receive critical damage after the first time.

It does not matter that the rectifier contains keratin. Keratin (even if it is in the right concentration and has the right size of the molecule) does not restore the hair bond. One may “saturate” hair with protein as much as possible - if he does not keep himself inside the hair, there is no point in this.

The main conclusion: KERATIN RESTORATION has nothing to do with KERATIN RECTIFICATION, since they have completely different tasks.

If after the “recovery” procedure you were promised that the hair will change its structure (stop curling, the waves will disappear, etc.) - you will not see a recovery event at all, but an exercise to straighten them!

What is keratin (protein) recovery?

This use on hair products containing keratin.

But not every keratin is good for hair. And not any hair, it is useful.

First, to provide the desired effect, keratin (protein) in the composition must be sufficient. And if you see in the mask (for example, the so popular L’oreal Absolute Repair) the required protein in the tail of the list is already behind preservatives and perfume fragrance, it will not bring any benefit to your hair.

Secondly, to penetrate the cuticle into the inner layer of hair, keratin must have the desired size of the molecule.

“Normal” keratin does not penetrate inside the hair, it simply sticks on top, acting like silicones or a lamination film. The most striking example is the Dikson Ristrutturante ampoule:

The same thing happens with hair when using homemade “firming” masks - proteins neither from eggs, nor from sour cream, nor from gelatin are absorbed by hair. For the reason of the same size of the molecule.

To keratin (protein) could penetrate into the hair, its molecules must be artificially fragmented (hydrolyzed). Only hydrolyzed (or fragmented to an even smaller state - amino acids) are able to integrate into the hair structure and provide local repair, filling the damaged areas.

The combination of the right size and the right amount of proteins is usually found only in professional restoration programs or intensive masks, for example, in L’anza keratin prosthetics.

Due to the competent composition, keratin prosthetics can significantly improve the structure of damaged hair.

There are other keratin (protein) based repair programs from other professional brands:

• 4-step hair restoration JOICO K-PAK
• Happiness for hair LEBEL
• Redken chemistry
• Olaplex

As well as effective products for home use, for example, tools of the Schwarzkopf Bonacure Fiber Force line:

After reading advertising, you can imagine that keratin wonders are useful to all hair, without exception. But actually it is not.

Means with decent doses of keratin (proteins) are needed only for one type of hair - damaged. Not dry, not dry or naughty. Damaged And badly damaged - usually chemically (perm, persistent dyeing, brightening).

The use of keratin on undamaged (poorly damaged) hair will lead to the opposite result - glutting keratin will make hair stiff, tangled and unmanaged.

I learned about the procedure of keratin hair restoration (not straightening, namely restoration) from my master, who was flooded with nightingale, describing her charms.

At that moment I was sitting in his chair and doing my blackout hair (removing split ends), and I thought, what would please myself even more.

* I constantly care for hair and try not to run. Thanks to home care, I managed to turn hair into something decent from a washcloth, so I constantly do various supporting procedures.

The master was clearly on fire and was able to captivate with his promises :)

“What is hair?”, He said, “these are keratin scales, under which chlorine, dust, dirt, clogs, smog, remnants of cosmetics, in the end. "" And what do we have in this bottle? "- he put the object of advertising to me with meaning, -" KE-RA – TIN, in other words, liquid hair! "

My critical thinking was frightened and went underground, crushed by the enthusiasm and iron arguments of this brilliant marketer :)))

He continued: “We will apply keratin cream, but at low temperatures it is useless, so forget about the purchased keratin preparations and seal it into the hair with high temperatures. Just imagine, a new keratin will join your keratin, and you will have several times more keratin !! ”

I can’t listen to this anymore, I gave up :) Only clarified the price and whether it is a formaldehyde straightening. Having made sure that the procedure has no relation to formaldehyde, I relaxed and whatever happens :)

Price - 3500 rubles for long hair.

In the cabin there were materials for Keune and Bes keratin recovery, and if I understood correctly, I was done with the help of BES (I looked at the technology on the Internet - everything seemed to fit together)

The main thing I want to say is that the procedure is very long (about 2 hours) and very fragrant. I felt different smells: a banana, and almonds, and still different fruits ... Not everyone will like it, their head can ache.

First, I got a deep cleansing shampoo. What was surprised - the master did not touch the scalp at all. Washed hair, starting almost from the middle. It is rather strange, usually everyone rinses the skin until it squeaks, but not in this case. Skin got quite a bit of attention at the end.

Already at home, looking at the technique, I realized that this is a feature of the procedure. Apparently, it is very vigorous shampoo.

In addition, the hair was first rinsed with hot, then ice water.

The effect of temperature shock (which just will not come up)

Next came the time of tedious contracting hair treatment. Everything is so slow that you can fall asleep. I read magazines and drank coffee ... tired - no strength.

Then it was time for several more tools:

Apply-rinse, apply-rinse. I have grown into this sink and my neck has become numb .... ((I will remember the ceiling for a long time, as well as the temperature shock that accompanied all the manipulations :)

Well, it seems to be the moment for the final chord - the means of washing-out, and I went home. I didn’t have something to ask the master of forces anymore, I was really tired of directing beauty, I wanted to go home and sleep as soon as possible :)

The effect, of course, was notable: everything shines, everything flows. Not hair - a fairy tale!

But the next day, all the beauty under the gusts of wind and a hat was no longer so impressive, and even more so after the first shampooing. No, the effect of grooming kept still some time, but it was not something extraordinary, for what I want to run to the salon again and give the next 3.5 thousand.

Do I recommend the procedure?

Before important events - certainly! The result is there, it does not hide)

Wedding, birthday, fateful date ... But just for the day or the day of the event. Otherwise, you may remain disappointed, because the effect is not lasting, but “on the way out”.

I certainly will recommend Keratin recovery, since I didn’t make my hair worse, but are you ready to give a good enough amount for a short time, you decide :)

You have probably heard more than once about such a procedure as a KERATIN TREATMENT-STRAIGHTENING hair? Not yet? And thank God. And don't even think about dreaming about it.

I am telling you this as a seasoned hairdresser-over 7 years experience. I myself worked on all sorts of keratins.

Here it is the real truth:

A couple of years ago I worked in one of the beauty salons in Moscow. They just started working on these keratins. This keratisation is done for everyone, because This procedure is considered therapeutic!

DO NOT BELIEVE. THIS IS NOT TRUE.

CERATING KILLS YOUR HAIR.

Yes, many advantages:

- do not get confused when wet combing

All that promise you further - this is complete nonsense!

They promise that the hair will not fall out - why?

Yes, because when they are pulled by an iron, all weak hair is pulled out by the roots!

No keratin in the hair is soldered. This is by nature IMPOSSIBLE.

Your hair from this procedure will never be cured! And to all this - your hair is carried 7-15 times with an iron. The hair becomes brittle and thin! And the smell? This is formaldehyde! When they are inhaled, a change in DNA cells occurs, possibly poisoning! The mucous membrane of the respiratory, digestive and other organs is injured.

I, too, fell for this bait! Well, I decided - since this is a medical procedure, why not try it. WOW. Hair will be like the model! But I was very wrong! I made myself keratin every 2 months for a year. When I realized that I had done a tantrum I had!

While keratin is on the hair, yes, your hair is TYPE in excellent condition, but as soon as it gets out of it, it is necessary for this to take about 3-5 months and here it is SURPRISE. Hair split, lifeless, dull, terribly brittle, the state is more like tow!

BUT, how so? After all, Keratisation was created to cure your hair!

GIRLS. BEAUTIFUL, GOOD, THIS IS NOT SO.

TRUST ME I DURING 2.5 YEARS CERTAINED myself!

TESTED THIS ON YOURSELF!

HOW the hairdresser can tell you for sure: There is nothing worse than this, such as a restoring procedure. Who got into the same situation - Hair can be saved with natural natural masks.

And for myself, as an alternative, I chose lamination.

My hair is very dry and porous, flowed along the entire length. Push down. And I want to like silk flowed and glittered.

Even after staining shine a whole week. I already had a most amusing experience with a keratin straightening on a coupon, it turned out to be lame, or you wouldn't look without tears — how. But as time passed and I wanted to try something like that, hope is dying last.

Of course, a hairdresser is always ready to offer anything, just pay money. I suggested keratin recovery with the comment “That you, I do not do keratin straightening at all, it’s fu!” It cost only 500 r (at a discount for the first time), promises “quickly, harmlessly and effectively” and I decided.

The wizard works with the Kapous Magic Keratin line. In particular, they worked with me with lotion. In the composition of alcohol and hydrolyzed keratin.

What the manufacturer promises

Due to the high concentration of keratin, which penetrates deep into the hair structure, weakened keratinous compounds are strengthened at the molecular level, the hair follicles are additionally supplied with nutrients. The Panthenol part of it has a regenerating effect, enhances shine, restores elasticity, and facilitates combing.Sunflower extract includes in its composition saturated fatty acids and a significant amount of vitamin E, which smooth the cuticle and restore the integrity of the hair. The harmonious combination of natural components in the lotion helps to improve skin tone, the hair becomes strong, silky and docile.

How was the procedure

After staining, I was dealt a lotion, shook my head with a towel and sent to wait 15 minutes. There was no sharp smell, the scalp did not burn and sting. After 15 minutes, the lotion was washed off, the hair was blow-dried, even without ironing. There was no smell again!))

Given the simplicity of the procedure, I didn’t particularly believe in the effect. I was pulled by a hairdryer and a round brush, all as usual after dyeing. They showed the result is not bad, but very similar to the usual final staining and stretching with a hair dryer)

It is not necessary to look at the effect of such procedures immediately, but after washing, I already know that))) After 3 days I washed my hair, immediately noticed what kind of hair became ... fluid))) Slithering and almost no need for balm (put a drop instead of a handful). Dried with a towel and they immediately lay on the shoulders of a disheveled and straight, smooth (usually tangled lump).

They dried out ... The same as immediately after the procedure. (nearly )

The tips of the hair barely split.

I'm shocked))) From the 20-minute procedure for 500 rubles this effect.

The effect lasted 2 months completely, for the third month everything went to nothing.

By the way, I don't wash my head very often, once every three or four days, maybe if the soap more often the effect would have been less.

In general, I really liked everything. I'll try to do the procedure at home. Although the master certainly said that keratin will fall only on the “hot hair” in the sense immediately after dyeing.

Do I need keratin recovery

As experts of beauty salons assure, after the procedure such problems as split ends, tousledness and loss disappear. Not to mention the glossy beautiful hair shine, from which it is impossible to take your eyes off.

For a similar procedure and the price is not small, and in time it takes several hours: from two to five. Despite the impressive effect, some women or girls who have undergone salon keratin hair treatment are not advised.

Before you accumulate the necessary amount of money and go to the salon, let's see what this technique is and why patient reviews differ widely from each other: from enthusiastically positive to sharply negative.

Where does keratin come from

Our hair is almost 90% composed of keratin, a protein that affects its elasticity and strength. It forms in the bulb and then enters the base of the hair. Very gentle at “birth” keratin, as it grows, becomes strong and strong.

With a sufficient amount of keratin, hair is not brittle, does not fall out more than is permissible per day, and do not suffer from dehydration. People whose “keratinous” state of the body is normal are distinguished by a healthy shine, silkiness and durability of the hair.

Keratin does not appear anywhere. The body requires protein, which a person gets from food, for example, from fish, meat, vegetables, fruits, cheese, soy. Proper nutrition with the inclusion in the diet of necessary products affects the structure and hair growth. Once in the body, the protein begins to break down into amino acids, and then with the blood enters all organs, including the scalp and hair follicles.

Doctors say that the combination of acidic fruits and foods with protein content helps to digest it best, since pepsin contained in gastric juice breaks down protein molecules. Accelerates protein metabolism and vitamin B6, which is in nuts, liver, soybeans, wheat or oat sprouts. As for the shine of the hair, it provides bioacid with a sulfur content - cystine. It is in meat, cheese, vegetables and soy.

Keratin production is reduced by such factors as:

• alcohol abuse
• stress,
• protein-free diet,
• exposure to hair chemicals: dyeing, bleaching, etc.

"Liquid" hair

It is possible to provide additional hair care with the help of cosmetics that the domestic and import industry is so rich with today. Manufacturers of cosmetics and hair care products offer not only keratin-containing shampoos, but also masks, complexes, and balms.

Through the use of these tools, the hair structure is enriched and restored, because the follicles receive additional nutrients. According to reviews of the most demanding patients, the most disobedient strands become silky, strong, easily fit into the hair. Additional “keratin” enrichment is necessary for damaged hair with permanent coloring or thin and brittle by nature.

Artificial keratin is obtained from sheep wool. It is believed that the New Zealand wool is the most environmentally friendly and high quality. Keratin form, extracted from the wool of sheep, has the necessary biopolymer dimensions, so that its molecules easily penetrate into the base of the hair, restoring and strengthening it from the inside.

That is why keratin treatment has become so popular in just a few years: damaged and weakened hair can be “healed” and give it a healthy shine, strength and elasticity.

During recovery, keratin envelops every hair of the patient, so the hair becomes fluffy, bulky, thick, as if doubled or tripled. For this unique ability, keratin is called jokingly "liquid" hair.

Who needs kerosene hair restoration?

Cosmetologists say that such a procedure as keratin treatment and restoration makes sense not to be carried out to everyone first, but only to those whose strands are dry, thin, brittle, damaged by the constant impact of thermal rollers, hair dryer, curls and dyeing.

ATTENTION: Who is naturally greasy hair or prone to fat, do not use keratin: it will not bring the desired effect.

Why? It's simple - fat interferes. He creates a "film" that does not allow keratin to get inside the hair, which means that the substance will not have a beneficial effect. But for women, reviews of which speak in favor of dyeing, highlighting, the use of styling products, including aggressive chemicals, keratin will help a lot.

You can get a noticeable effect using keratin - a tool that is sold in pharmacies and in specialized stores. Independent procedure is quite possible, for example, as a mask. And keratin is added when washing the head - in shampoo, conditioner or balm. And yet, the desired result can be expected only when it falls into the hands of a specialist.

How to treat and restore hair

What is the keratin treatment of hair, when they are restored and shine with a new healthy shine. For the procedure, use only those products that contain natural ingredients: protein, keratin and others. Thanks to these substances, negative external factors "recede", which means that the hair can be easily placed into the hair, for at least 2-3 months.

By the way, today, manufacturing companies can please their consumers: produce products for the treatment, straightening and hair restoration without a hint of formaldehyde - a toxic colorless gas that smells very unpleasant. The price of such products, of course, higher, but it is safe, high-quality and effective. Isn’t this what the consumer first needs?

The procedure - keratin hair treatment - is carried out in several stages.

1. Thorough washing of hair from fat and from environmental influences: dust, exhaust gases, harmful substances in the atmosphere, tobacco smoke and others.
2. A special compound containing keratin is applied to each thin strand.
3. Then the hair is dried with a hairdryer, smoothing them with a brush.
4. When smoothing strands straighten special “ironing”, heated to a certain temperature. The iron is needed for "sealing" of keratin inside the hair.

After the procedure, you should not wash, comb, pin up, wind up your ears, put on headgear. After three days, the keratin substance must be washed off with a special shampoo on its own or come to the same specialist who will bring the treatment to its logical conclusion.

Three days is long? But the reviews of many patients are such that some inconvenience can be endured, but then in a few months to spend a minimum of time on styling or hair.

Keratin remedy for straightening curls

In order not only to restore, but also to straighten the disobedient strands, the Brazilian keratin restoration is used in the salons, after which the curls become streaming and silky.

So, the keratin effect works well in the case of damaged straight from the nature of the hair and curly. The main advantage of the technique is the fact that there are simply no aggressive chemicals in the reducing composition.

Many girls and women claim that keratin straightening and hair restoration has a “cumulative” effect. After each subsequent session, the strands become smoother and shine lasts longer.

Important recommendations

We restore hair at home

So, with all the nuances you have already read, it's time to go to the description of the procedure itself, which can be done at home:

1. First, prepare all the necessary fixtures: a comb with frequent teeth, an iron with ceramic plates that heat up to 200–230 degrees, a measuring cup, a bowl, a wide silicone brush, and several clips or pins.
2. Then wash your hair with a special shampoo for deep cleaning. It washes away not only dirt and residues of styling, but also a protective layer, because of which the strands may look lifeless. Do not worry, such deep cleaning helps to make keratin curls better.
3. Next, let the hair dry naturally.
4. You can proceed with the application of the product: divide the hair into 3-4 parts and apply the composition to strands no more than a centimeter thick, retreating from the roots all the same centimeter. Carefully distribute the composition over the entire length of the hair, paying special attention to the tips.
5. On the area near the roots, apply the agent at the end, after application, comb the strands, removing excess composition.
6. Leave the product on the hair for 30 minutes. Be this time indoors.
7. Dry your hair with a hair dryer at medium or low temperature.
8. Then proceed to straightening strands ironing. Iron the small strands 5–7 times, while not keeping the instrument plates in one place, move them smoothly.
9. The procedure is completed, it remains only to properly wash the tool. When and how to do this, read below.

What's next?

It seems that the procedure has come to an end, but do not relax, in front - one of the most important stages.

Most keratin straightening products must be kept on the hair for two to three days. At the same time, it is important not to take hair with hairpins or rubber bands, not to hide them behind the ears and not to hide them under headdresses. Curls should be in direct condition.

The most important thing: you can not wash off the tool. By the end of the first day after the procedure, they may become dirty and greasy, but the end result is worth a day to suffer.

Washing the composition and further hair care should be done with a special shampoo without sulfates, which will not wash the keratin from the strands. The use of balms and conditioners will also contribute to maintaining the effect for a long time.

Where it is better to carry out the procedure

It is preferable to salon conducting keratin treatment. An experienced master will determine whether you should even do such a procedure, select the right tool and apply the optimal amount.

The cost of the procedure in the salon is usually rather big, but this is often due to the fact that the institutions that value their reputation choose quality products with the addition of extracts of medicinal plants. Before the procedure, be sure to ask the master what means he will carry out the treatment, and ask him to acquaint him with his composition.

Home procedure, most likely, will be carried out with the help of preparations containing formaldehyde, they are cheaper, and therefore more common. Their impact on the hair can not be called extremely negative, but they negatively affect the respiratory organs, therefore during and after the procedure (especially when straightening the iron) the room should be aired. But it is better to think twice whether the desired effect is worth such a risk.

Alternative to keratin straightening

Lovers of folk hair treatment methods will surely appreciate ways to add shine and silkiness to a head of hair due to the use of natural components: honey masks, olive oil, gelatin, eggs can fill hair with health and shine no worse than keratin treatment, but the effect will last until the next shampooing.

The procedure for keratin hair treatment is quite widespread, because it brings very good results. The right choice of means for restoring the strands, contacting an experienced master or strict adherence to the instructions when carrying out the procedure on your own will allow you to enjoy healthy and beautiful hair for a long time.

Features salon care

The result of treatment depends largely on the professionalism of the stylist: adherence to technology and the correct application of the reducing composition.

In the salon, saturation of curls with nutrients takes place in several stages:

1. The master washes the strands in a few steps using special tools designed for deep cleaning,
2. In the next step, the hair is dried with a hairdryer,
3. A reducing agent is applied to each curl and is evenly distributed along the entire length of the strands,
4. The curative composition remains on the head of hair for 40 minutes, so that it absorbs useful substances and dries,
5. Curls are completely dried by a hair dryer,
6. Next, keratin care involves sealing each strand with an iron. Depending on the damage will require from 2 to 5 stretching. Clarified and damaged porous curls require less heat exposure, and curly, elastic rigid ones will require additional pulling.

Hair ready you can enjoy the result!

Ironing - the main part of professional care. As a result of heating, the main active substance crystallizes and is reliably sealed, which provides the coating with durability and long-term effect.
