Keratin straightening has been one of the leaders in the list of the most trending salon procedures for many years. And it's no wonder. It allows you to achieve an incredibly cool effect in just a couple of hours. Keratin makes curls perfectly straight, shiny and smooth. And the effect of this procedure lasts for several months. And all this time you can safely do not use the iron, and of all styling procedures - only dry hair with a hair dryer. However, despite the long history of keratin straightening, it still raises many questions among girls. And one of them concerns the compatibility of keratin with other procedures.
Keratin straightening: description of the procedure
The main purpose of keratin straightening, as is already clear from the name of this procedure, is to equalize the strands. Keratin straightens curly strands, and it can cope with both slight waviness and dense curls, which are difficult to style and control. The procedure takes several stages. First, the curls are washed with a deep-cleaning agent, then the strands are impregnated with keratin composition, which remains on them for a clearly defined time, and then there is a sealing of the means inside the hair with a high-power iron.
To achieve a visually appealing effect, smoothness and shine curls are impregnated with a special composition containing keratin. This substance is essentially a fibrillar protein of animal origin, which is characterized by increased strength characteristics. In the human body, keratin is the basis of the horny components of epithelial tissue - it forms the basis of nails and hair. Due to the increased concentration of disulfide bonds such protein gives curls increased strength, excellent elasticity and elasticity.
It is important to note that keratin straightening is not an easy procedure. And in order for it to give a lasting excellent result, it is important to adhere to many rules. Therefore, trust such a procedure is worth only an experienced master. And all questions about the possibility of combining keratin with other procedures should also be discussed with a specialist.
Keratin and other procedures: simple tips
Many girls experience the need to smooth curls together with parallel coloring or other procedures. But how are they compatible? There are a few rules and recommendations:
- Hair coloring. Experienced masters advise to carry out coloring not earlier than a week after straightening, and better - in 2 weeks. In one day to carry out such procedures is not recommended, since such an impact will be a very strong stress for curls. And if on the contrary to carry out equalization after coloring, there is a risk that the strands will lighten by a couple of tones. Such a procedure, however, can seal the paint inside the hair, but the tone may not be uniform. Therefore, only a clear interval will help to avoid disappointment and an unexpected effect.
- Melting. In the case of melting, all the same rules apply as in the case of coloring. For both keratin and melting gave the expected result, it is very important to keep a clear interval between them.
- The use of natural colorants. A huge number of people color strands with henna or basma. These procedures bring an excellent effect, and the curls after them often look healthier, get well-groomed. However, not all masters know whether you can do keratin straightening after natural coloring. And experienced experts do not advise to straighten strands colored with henna, and paint curls that have been straightened with keratin. Everything is explained very simply: in the case of natural dyes, no one can predict the final effect of such combinations - the hair can suddenly get an unusual shade or completely change its structure. Therefore, coloring with natural dyes and keratin straightening is better not to combine at all.
- Bio perm. Often after perming girls find that curls do not suit them. Or it turns out that curls do not look the way we would like. And in this situation keratin straightening can be a real salvation. First of all, keratin will really even out the curls. And secondly, it will help the strands to recover after curling, filling in the damaged areas on the strands.
- Hair extensions. No one forbids to carry out extensions after keratin straightening. However, the possibility of straightening strands after extensions is discussed only individually with an experienced master.
And coloring, and straightening, and other manipulations with hair is better to carry out in the salon, which has a well-deserved reputation. Experienced masters will explain all the nuances of care for curls and give practical advice on the possibility of combining these or other procedures.
