Women have been striving for beauty for centuries. And this desire sometimes leads to quite the opposite result. A large number of girls come to beauty salons today with the same problem: their hair looks dull, sick, exhausted by numerous colors, perms and straightenings.
Are there ways to restore lifeless hair to its former elasticity, he althy shine and silkiness? Of course! Care technologies have taken a big step in their development, and today hairdressers and stylists from all over the world have in their arsenal a we alth of knowledge, experience and methods for restoring even the most neglected hair.
What is hair reconstruction?
This is a procedure for restoring the outer and inner layers of hair, which consists in filling them with all the necessary vitamins, minerals and amino acids. The whole secret is in the composition of the "cocktail" that affects the strands. Regardless of the type of restoration and composition, this mixture contains proteins, ceramides and oligominerals that have a beneficial effect on the hair. Perhaps this is one of the few procedures that really treat, and do not disguise a hard, dull “washcloth” under a speciousappearance.
Types of reconstruction
Beauty salons offer many types of hair reconstruction. As a rule, the names of the procedure are given based on the names of cosmetic preparations used in the restoration. However, the main types can be distinguished:
- Keratin hair reconstruction. Restores the cuticle and strengthens the keratin structure, giving the hair special softness, strength, brightness and smoothness. This type of restoration is usually used as a preparation before dyeing or perm. This will protect your hair from future exposure to chemicals.
- Lipid hair reconstruction. With a lack of lipids, the curls become dry, damaged, susceptible to external aggressive factors. Thanks to the reconstruction, the missing lipid level is achieved while reducing the porosity of the hair by smoothing the scales. As a result, the strands are strengthened, their smoothness and elasticity are increased. Hair "breathe" with he alth, they are elastic and obedient. In addition, lipid hair restoration is a great way to prevent split ends.
- Reconstruction of the ends of the hair is a great alternative to a haircut. If your goal is only to restore the ends, then the Brazilian Blowout procedure is ideal. The product used is based on red algae, when heated, they shrink, soldering the ends of the hair, making them beautiful and even. The procedure lasts about 40 minutes, the effect lasts for a month.
What products are used for hair reconstruction?
1. Keratin Recovery:
- JOICO K-PAK Professional (USA) - the secret of the agent is in an artificially created keratin molecule, identical to the natural one, consisting of 19 amino acids. The difference is only in its size: due to its lower molecular weight, it is able to restore hair up to the medulla (the central part of the hair shaft). Full recovery is achieved after 2-4 treatments at intervals no more than once a month.

The tool does not contain sulfates, is aimed at restoring the protein structure, nutrition, mineralization and moisturizing of the hair. The strands become perfectly smooth, protected from destruction and external influences.

The treatment will require from 2 to 6 procedures, the effect is visible after the first session and persists for a long time.
- Nouvelle (Italy). A feature of this reconstruction is the presence of hop extract and hydrolyzed keratin in the composition, due to which the hair is strengthened and the hydro-mineral composition of the skin is restored.

Hair reconstruction reviews
There is no unequivocal opinion on how effective this or that method of hair restoration is. Someone is delighted with the result, but someone was completely disappointed and convinced that the procedure was a waste of money. What does it depend on? No matter how trite it may sound, everything is individual and depends on the structure of the hair, on the degree of damage, on previous procedures and subsequent care.
I would like to wish every girl beauty and he alth. Love yourself, take care of yourself - and then the reflection in the mirror will delight you every day!
