Women have long been striving for beauty. And this desire sometimes leads to a completely 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, curls and straightening.
Are there any ways to restore lifeless hair to its former elasticity, healthy shine and silkiness? Of course! Care technologies have taken a big step in their development, and today hairdressers and stylists from around the world have in their arsenal a large store 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” acting on the strands. Regardless of the type of recovery 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, rather than mask, a hard, dull "washcloth" under a specious appearance.
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 the cosmetic preparations used in the restoration. However, you can distinguish the main types:
- Keratin hair reconstruction. It restores the cuticle and strengthens the keratin structure, giving the hair special softness, strength, brightness and smoothness. This type of recovery is usually used as a preparation before staining or perm. This will protect the hair from the upcoming 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, it is possible to replenish the deficient level of lipids with a simultaneous decrease in the porosity of the hair by smoothing the scales. As a result, strands are strengthened, their smoothness and elasticity increase. Hair “breathes” health, they are elastic and obedient. In addition, lipid hair restoration is a great way to prevent the ends from being cut.
- Reconstruction of the ends of the hair is a great alternative to a haircut. If your goal is only to restore the tips, then the Brazilian Blowout procedure is ideal. The basis of the used product is red algae, when heated, they are pulled together, soldering the ends of the hair, making them beautiful and even. The procedure lasts about 40 minutes, the effect lasts a month.
What products are used for hair reconstruction?
1. Keratin recovery:
- JOICO K-PAK Professional (USA) is the secret of the drug 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 (central part of the hair shaft). Full recovery is achieved after 2-4 procedures with an interval of no more than once a month.
- LANZA (USA). It neutralizes the chemical compounds remaining in the hair after dyeing and curling. The product does not contain sulfates, aimed at restoring the protein structure, nutrition, mineralization and hydration of the hair. The strands become perfectly smooth, protected from damage and external influences.
- Green Light (Italy). The main advantage of the series is the absence of silicone in the composition, due to which such restoration can be fearlessly applied to chemically weary hair. For treatment, from 2 to 6 procedures are required, 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 and hydrolyzed keratin in the extract , which helps to strengthen the hair and restore the hydromineral composition of the skin. In addition, the tool has a powerful antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effect.
2. Lipid reduction:
- The professional series of Loreal Professionel Absolut Repair Lipidium products is a salon treatment that allows you to achieve instant results. The procedure is carried out in 4 stages: hair cleansing, applying a unique restoring lipid concentrate, moisturizing and, finally, applying two-phase serum to the ends of the hair.
Hair reconstruction: reviews
There is no unequivocal opinion of 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 previously transferred procedures and subsequent care.
I would like to wish each girl beauty and health. Love yourself, take care of yourself - and then the reflection in the mirror will delight you daily!
