Our hair is affected by negative factors as much as the skin. It is they who feel the consequences of all our experiments. As a result, the hair becomes brittle, loses its shine and looks like dry straw. In such a situation, it seems that nothing can be done, and the former brilliance and beauty cannot be returned. But growing hair, dreaming of well-groomed curls, is not the only way out. Desperate beauties come to the aid of keratin. Reviews about him are good, and this contributes to the fact that ladies decide on keratinization. But what is it? What is the procedure? Thermokeratin gets different reviews.
Is it right to go for a procedure based only on reviews, and without imagining what kind of substance is keratin? Let's try to answer this question. Thermokeratin - what is it? The solution to all problems or a temporary measure?
General information
Keratin is a natural component of the hair. As a result of the impact"chemistry", hot air drying and other factors natural keratin is destroyed. Hair becomes lifeless and brittle, lose their attractive appearance and pleasant shine. Thermokeratin can fill this deficiency. Reviews of hairdressers boil down to the fact that the vast majority of girls after the procedure, the hair looks much better. This is natural, since keratin, which is part of the complex for the procedure, penetrates into the hair structure, smoothes the scales and envelops the hair shaft with a protective layer. It prevents further destruction of keratin. Thanks to this, the hair begins to shine again and look he althy and beautiful. The name "thermokeratin" comes from the mechanism of the procedure, which is carried out at an elevated temperature of the working material.
Who really needs it?
Reviews of girls who have tried the procedure can be a reason to go to the salon. However, it will be useful to know in advance who needs this procedure. So, keratinization returns a he althy and well-groomed appearance to hair that has suffered as a result of perm, dyeing using ammonia-containing paints, as well as curls that have lost their former shine due to frequent styling. After the procedure, the hair, saturated with keratin and amino acids, becomes alive, soft and manageable. To maintain the achieved result, it is recommended to use the set of the Estel Thermokeratin series.
So the effect will last as long as possible.
Set contents
The set is designed with all the features of the hair in mind. Three-step care ensures long-term preservation of the effect of the procedure.
Estel thermokeratin mask, reviews of which are almost all positive, helps to restore the hair structure from the inside due to the fact that keratin in its composition penetrates faster and better into the deeper layers of the hair shaft.
Thermoactivator that starts the procedure is the second component of the kit. Due to the effect of temperature, keratin penetrates into the hair much faster, smoothes it from the inside and out, "gluing" the hair scales. The nutrition of the hair is restored, the scales are smoothed, the split ends are connected back. It is due to this that natural shine and silkiness of curls are achieved.
The final stage of the procedure is the application of keratin water. It moisturizes the hair, fixes the effect of the procedure, additionally soldering the ends and giving the hair elasticity.
If coloring was performed in parallel with the procedure, then keratin water contributes to the long-term preservation of color.
Result of procedure
The need for three-phase care is based on the property of keratin to accumulate in the hair, optimally integrating into it. Using all three components of the kit guarantees your hair:
- fix color;
- moisturizing;
- elasticity increase;
- UV protection;
- high temperature protection;
- smoothing naughty curls;
- anti-static effect;
- "bonding" split ends.
This is not all that the Estel set does. Shielding thermokeratin also provides. In particular, due to the protective layer on the surface of the hair, it becomes less susceptible to aggressive environmental factors. Girls vying to praise the resulting effect.
When can the procedure be done
Due to the unique formula and the innovative mechanism of action, keratin treatment can be carried out at various times, for example, immediately after hair coloring to fix the color. It also prevents fading, subsequent deformation and destruction of the hair. Carrying out the procedure in the intervals after dyeing will prevent damage to the hair shaft during application and exposure to paint and coloring pigments. Uncolored hair can also be keratinized to enhance natural shine, softness and elasticity. After the salon procedure, to consolidate the effect and prolong the action of keratin, it is recommended to do everything at home.
Due to the fact that keratin accumulates in the hair, this will significantly prolong the effect.
Shielding as a way to protect hair
Shielding is a relatively new service that is provided in salons. Products for these purposes are produced by the domestic manufacturer Estel.
Shielding (thermokeratin) affects not only the outer part of the hair, as, for example, lamination. Mainthe difference is that when shielding, the hair is protected from the inside, receiving additional nutrients. Due to the high activity of the components included in the shielding coating, they penetrate into the very core of the rod. Some hairdressers say that maximum results can be achieved with simultaneous shielding and lamination.
Effect duration
The duration of the protective coating can vary from a week to a month. It all depends on how damaged the hair is and how often you wash your hair. Each time the protective film will become thinner, so the effect will last longer if you continue to take care of your hair at home after visiting the salon. Damaged, weak and dull curls will very quickly absorb the substances that make up the shielding composition, in particular if thermokeratin was used for this. That is, the worse the condition of the hair, the faster the effect will disappear. Thermokeratin for hair, reviews of which indicate no he alth risk, are true. The procedure is non-traumatic, so you can repeat it as many times as you like.
As long as the effect remains on the hair, the color will not fade after dyeing.
Composition of the series
Many active natural ingredients in hair care products provide long-lasting effect and care. For example, soy protein restores hair from the inside, and amino acids increase resistance to environmental factors. Herbal Ingredients - Optionala power source that helps restore metabolic processes. If they do not flow properly, the hair becomes dull and falls out. The penetration of substances into the hair is due to ceramides, which accelerate the transplantation of active ingredients into the hair structure. The procedure can be done not only in the salon, but also at home. Below we consider the mechanism of its implementation.
Stage 1: preparation
Thermokeratin, reviews of which may form an opinion about the procedure as a panacea, is rather a preventive measure, and not a cure for all problems. If the hair falls out and dandruff overcomes, then you first need to cure the underlying problem. Keratinizing and shielding only keeps the hair in good condition, not all problems. Although the procedure can help "glue" split ends, it is better to cut them all the same.
Protective film will disappear sooner or later, and split ends will return to their original state. Wash your hair before the procedure. The ideal option is the shampoo that comes with the kit. Next, we use a deep nourishing balm, and after it we apply a mask and keep it on the hair for about 10 minutes to achieve the best effect. Can this step be skipped? You can, but it provides a longer effect of the procedure.
Stage 2: application of thermokeratin and activator
The hair is slightly dried, and then the product for the procedure is applied to them. It can be either colored or colorless. In the first case, consider preventing stainingskin. The solution to the problem is a greasy cream that is applied along the hairline. Remember that the product should never be applied to the roots. Therefore, both in the salon and at home, a centimeter retreat is made.
After applying keratin, a thermal activator is used.
Step 3: Rinse
Means "Estel thermokeratin", reviews of which indicate the duration of the procedure, after application, it is kept on the hair for some time, and then washed off. It is best to use running water at a comfortable temperature. It should not be too cold or hot. It is better to wash off the composition several times. As a result, a light weightless film will remain on the hair, and the product will be completely washed off.
Stage 4: Consolidation
The last step is fixing. Washed hair is dried with a hot hairdryer, and then a product is applied to them to fix the effect of the procedure and hot drying is repeated.
Now the procedure is complete.
Cons
"Estel Thermokeratin" (we reviewed the reviews and the effect of the application above) has some drawbacks. The opinions of girls who have tried the salon procedure or carried it out at home include information that not everything is as good as it might seem. For example, you have to wash your hair more often. The reason is that the protective film of keratin collects dust, and the sebum on it is much more noticeable. As a result, the hair quickly begins to appear dirty and unkempt. Regular washing solves this problem.
Due to the fact that keratin makes the hair heavier, the load on the bulb increases, which can provoke increased hair loss. Not all substances that make up the product are natural. Therefore, before the procedure, you need to check if any of the components cause allergies. A careful study of the composition and a preliminary test will help to avoid this problem. Keratin is a natural substance, but it is quickly destroyed by water. Therefore, winter and autumn with high humidity are not suitable for the procedure, because the effect will fade away very quickly, and you will have to visit the salon again.
Contact the experts
Due to the fact that thermokeratinization is a complicated procedure, many people prefer to do it in the salon rather than at home. This is justified, since the master will be able to make it at the highest level. You will have to spend two hours on everything and pay from two thousand rubles.
The hairdresser will wash the hair first, even if the head is clean. Professional shampoos not only completely remove sebum and styling residues, but also nourish the hair from roots to ends. Next, a keratin composition and a thermal activator are applied. Thanks to this, keratin penetrates deeper into the hair, restoring it from the inside. The composition is applied along the entire length, it is necessary to retreat 10-15 mm from the skin.
At the end, after washing off the composition, the hairdresser runs through each strand with an iron. This is done not only for straightening, but also so that the keratin better connects with the hair and smoothes the scales on the surface. The procedure "thermokeratin Estel", reviews of which are mainlyenthusiastic, more effective when exposed to high temperature.
After the master finishes the work, it is strictly forbidden to wash your hair for the first three days. To maintain the shape of the hairstyle, it is recommended to avoid changing the parting as long as the keratin film remains on the hair. It is recommended to use shampoos and balms of a special series. Subject to these conditions, the effect of the Estel thermokeratin procedure (reviews, price - all this is discussed above) will last quite a long time.
