Those who are tired of the endless use of ironing for straightening hair, repeatedly came to mind the idea of once and for all to change curly hair into straight locks. What is the method of straightening? The problem of choice is how much effort and time you are willing to spend on changing the image. And, of course, the factors of procedure safety, duration and durability of the effect from it are no less important.
Hair straightening
Among all the ways to straighten disobedient curls, chemical hair straightening is one of the most modern methods, allowing you to forget about curly hair until the wavy ringlets grow back. To achieve a stable effect of straightening with the help of chemical effects on the structure of the hair can be in the cabin. Permanent straightening consists in changing the structure of the hair itself. Namely - the destruction of disulfide bonds under the influence of the chemical component included in the mixture for rectification. It is known that the structure of the curling hair has an oval shape. The smaller the length of the oval of the hair tube, the smoother the hair looks. Ideally straight curls in a cut - this is the perfect circle. The purpose of chemical straightening - this is the achievement of the most correct round form of the hair shaft. The procedure for chemical hair straightening is carried out as follows:
- On carefully washed damp hair, a compound is applied for the chemical straightening of the hair. The duration of the composition depends on the thickness of the hair. On average, this is 15-20 minutes.
- After washing the chemical mixture on the strands, a protective spray is applied and the ironing procedure is carried out. The moment of ironing the strands is important. It is necessary to act very carefully and carefully, so as not to damage the softened hair.
- On the straightened locks put fixative. It is washed off after 5 minutes after application.
- Then the hair is dried with a hair dryer.
To fix the effect, the hair after the treatment can not be washed for 3 days. After a few days, the retainer can be applied again.
Chemical hair straightening at home
The main component of the chemical mixture is either sodium hydroxide or ammonium trioglycollate. The first substance is more aggressive in its effect. It is used to straighten strongly curly or very hard hair. The second is less effective. A mixture based on ammonium trioglycolate is suitable for wavy and soft hair. Accordingly, the means for chemical hair straightening are of two kinds. After the decision to conduct the procedure at home, you need to carefully choose the right mixture. If a formulation based on sodium hydroxide is chosen, it is important to calculate the amount of the substance. The more such a mixture is applied to the hair, the smoother they will be as a result. But it is important to remember the risk that this active component carries in itself. To avoid undesirable damage (at home, without the attention of a specialist, a chemical burn is possible), you need to apply a cream on the scalp. It is better if it is a natural remedy, for example, petroleum jelly. The procedure itself should be carried out with great care. Do not forget about the time of the chemical mixture. It should not exceed 10 minutes for slightly wavy thin hair, and 20 minutes for harsh curls.
Biochemical hair straightening
The aggressive impact of the chemical components of the mixture for straightening can be avoided by using a softer way to straighten the hair - biochemical rectification. The principle of action of such a composition is almost the same, but its components are softer. They do not affect the scalp, do not burn thin hair. The composition of biochemical mixtures include natural oils and ceramides, restoring damaged hair. As a result of using such a composition, the hair is not only aligned, but also easier to care.
