Lamination is carried out in one step. The procedure affects more the appearance of the hair, although it gives grooming and elasticity.
Keratin restoration changes the structure of the hair. This is especially noticeable on curly hair, which becomes smooth and even.
Glazing is similar to lamination, but the hair is not weighed down, since the hair shaft does notcompacted. Hair is given shine and softness, curls acquire a well-groomed appeal.

Which hair is suitable for shielding
Shielding damaged hair is a godsend for those who are dissatisfied with the state of their hair. Styling, weather, insufficient moisture of the hair make them look very sad. After such salon care, you will get an excellent effect. Shielding will be a panacea for many hair, especially if:
- hair is naturally capricious and naughty. They are difficult to lay down, fluffy, tangled and broken.
- hair has lost its luster and elasticity due to styling and chemical exposure (dyes, perms)
- living conditions. For example, the sun and s alt water on vacation can damage your hair more in a couple of weeks than in a month at home.
- hair lacks volume. By compacting each hair, the total volume of the entire mass of hair becomes noticeably larger.
- hair is long. Rapunzel girls often face the overwhelming task of maintaining a well-groomed look of long curls, and it is shielding that will help the appearance of the hairstyle, significantly improving the structure, filling the voids in the hair shaft.
Who should refrain from the procedure
Whateverexcellent shielding, there are some limiting conditions for the procedure even in the cabin. Features of the body and physical factors can stop those who wish in cases:
- Excessive hair loss. If the hair falls out, then the hair follicles are weakened, they do not hold the load in the form of the natural length of the hair. Shielding fills the hair shaft where there are voids, making it heavier and denser. This process can aggravate the prolapse.
- Skin lesions on the scalp. Hair shielding - active care with the help of various formulations in several stages. Such manipulations with the scalp with unhealed scratches, wounds or cuts can cause infections to penetrate.
- Allergies, dandruff and skin lesions. The body is different, and there is no guarantee that the ingredients in the product will not create difficulties when applied to problem skin.
- Oily hair will become even more oily as sebum secretion increases.
- Some components may cause individual intolerance.
- Too thick hair can also be a reason to refuse shielding, as the effect will be hardly noticeable on this type of hair
- Expectant or nursing mothers should refrain from the procedure for the duration of their position, as the substances included in the composition may affect the body in an unusual way.
When to do shielding
If you come to the salon immediately after a perm or a very aggressive coloring, the master professional will refuse to provide the service. The thing isthat despite the improvement in the quality of the hair shaft as a whole, shielding is carried out with the use of certain drugs that can aggravate the withering effect of previous procedures.
Wait 10-14 days, and only then carry out the procedure. This time is needed to prepare the hair for any procedure where drugs and special equipment are used.
The essence of shielding and the main stages
The simplest description of the procedure for shielding damaged hair is the treatment of the structure of the hair shaft, filling it with nutrients, and then coating with a protective composition that envelops each hair with a film, protecting it from washing out of color and therapeutic components.
Steps:
- The head is cleansed with a special shampoo to fully prepare the skin and hair, remove styling residue and pollution, open the hair cuticles to increase penetration.
- Recovery and treatment. At this stage, the hair undergoes a deep healing procedure. Active healing preparations or masks are used.
- Processing with a shielding agent. If desired, you can give your hair a different shade at this stage, as some hair shielding products contain coloring pigments.
- Washing, styling.
An added benefit of hair shielding is the cumulative long-term effect. If you systematically, with a frequency of 4-6 weeks, do 10-15 procedures in a course, then the result will be amazing.
Types of shielding
Strand care can be made colored or transparent. It is better not to do hair shielding at home for the first time, especially if you want to add a different shade. Only the master will be able to correctly select the color gradation, otherwise there is a risk of ruining the hair with an unexpected effect.
Color shielding is perfect for blondes who are always fighting for the absence of yellowness. The noble cool shade, so beloved and so quickly washed out, will last noticeably longer.
It's not just blondes who need color screening. You can experiment with other shades, give yourself a little color change, noticeably improve the condition of your hair.
Colorless screening will not give a difference in shade, but this procedure is no less effective. The chic shine and beauty of the hair will become even more noticeable.
