How to straighten your hair at home. We straighten hair with keratin and other methods

Always perfect, smooth hair with a flowing even texture is the dream of many girls, which leads them to long-term hair straightening.

Girls with perfect hairstyles look from glossy magazines.

Of course, it's important to remember that part of this is due to the good processing of photos in Photoshop and not to be upset if the hair does not look like in the pictures.

But there are ways to approach this result.

This can be done with the help of a specialist in the salon, as well as at home.

Beauty salons can offer ways to truly long-term hair straightening. First, it is keratin straightening.

Silky, flowing, they will be for another 2-4 months, depending on the care and the structure of the hair.

Hair straightens for a long time and looks luxurious even after shampooing, without requiring any additional effort.

There are different types of keratin straightening. These are "Brazilian Keratin Straightening" and "American Keratin Straightening".

Basics of drugs and application procedures are almost identical. The difference is that the “Brazilian version” contains a small amount of formaldehyde.

The “American version” is marketed as a safe, formaldehyde-free product that heals hair.

There is another way to straighten strands with a long lasting effect. This is chemical straightening.

Different types of drugs are used on different bases: sodium hydroxide, guanidine hydroxide and ammonium thioglycolate. This is a more traumatic procedure than keratin lining.

These procedures well and for a long time straighten both thin and thickest and most stubborn strands in structure. But these are expensive procedures. Their prices range from 3,000 rubles and up to 15,000 for super long hair.

Not every owner of a long mane is ready to make such expenses on a regular basis, especially since there are many alternative options - how to straighten wavy hair for a long time at home.

Thermal mechanical procedures

At home, you can also carry out effective procedures that permanently straighten even the most stubborn vortices.

There are many special devices that, through thermal action, have a rectifying effect.

It is important to remember that before using them, it is imperative to use thermal protection products, as well as to carry out constant restorative care that will keep the hair healthy and protect it from damage.

For the most stubborn hair, a flat iron is best. It is also called a hair straightener or styler. There are many varieties of such forceps.

They differ in the degree of heating, the number of modes and the width of the plates for capturing the strands. There are also models with "floating platforms" for more comfortable operation.

By quality, they are divided into professional and ordinary for home use.

When using an iron, first apply heat protection products to damp or wet hair, comb the strands and let them dry.

In the process of working with tongs, you should evenly guide them from roots to ends without stopping "for better heating", otherwise you can simply damage your hair.

If the selected curls are too thick, then you should stroke them with a styler several times.

For not very steep curls, align with a hair dryer or curling iron. Working with a curling iron is similar to working with an iron.

Before smoothing the strands with a hair dryer with warm air, you should comb your hair and apply a thermal spray.

Then, with a slight tension, combing the hair from roots to ends, blow them with a hairdryer in the same direction.

This procedure can also be carried out with cold air, which will make it safer, but longer.

After straightening the strands using any of the above methods with thermal action, for better fixing of the result and a longer effect, it is worth using styling products.

These can be varnishes, gels, sprays, mousses and even wax.

It is very important to remember that irons and curling irons should not be used on wet or too damp curls.

The duration of the effect of such products depends on the structure of the strands, on the chosen styling products and other cosmetics that are used (shampoos, balms, masks).

Caring treatments with a smoothing effect

A very interesting way that has the effect of straightening hair is lamination. It can be done both in the salon and at home.

This procedure is popular and satisfied reviews are written about it that it can also help to tame naughty curls for a long time.

The purpose of the lamination is to create the appearance of newly dyed strands of rich color.

But it also has regenerating, leveling and protecting properties.

Its only drawback is that it is not suitable for oily scalp. Greater greasiness may appear and the hair will start to get dirty faster.

For this procedure, you can purchase special cosmetics. Or you can make a mask with a laminating effect yourself at home.

To prepare it, you should mix one tablespoon of gelatin, three tablespoons of water, and a spoonful of conditioner or balm.

All this is heated in a water bath until the gelatin dissolves and becomes a homogeneous mass.

After that, you can apply the mask to your hair, wearing a special hat, and wrapping it over with plastic.

The mask lasts 40 minutes and after that it can be washed off and allowed to dry naturally. For the best effect of strengthening the hair, you can add 1 egg to the mask.

Regular cosmetic procedures that can help straighten hair and make it more manageable include the use of special shampoos, balms and sprays that are developed by cosmetic companies for this very purpose.

These drugs work best when used in combination. It is best to combine cosmetics from the same company.

Regular use of this type of product can straighten light curls and make stubborn, cool curls more pliable.

Folk ways

Apparently the problem of naughty stubborn curls has long occupied the thoughts of girls.

So we also have many popular ways to pacify restless curls at home. The most popular ones can be identified.

Vinegar is found in every home and can be used to straighten strands. After shampooing, rinse your hair with diluted water with vinegar and dry it without rinsing it off.

In this case, they should not be exposed to thermal effects. They must dry themselves. This will not straighten tight curls, but it will make them much more docile and soft.

Hair can be straightened using beer. The effect of styling with beer can last for a week. After shampooing, you should gently brush the beer onto wet strands.

Approximately 0.5 beer is required for this procedure. It is better to start combing from the back of the head, trying to evenly apply the liquid along the entire length from roots to tips.

There will be much less waves and curls.

To straighten the strands, you can use cognac by applying it to your hair with a bandage or gauze.

This mask should be kept for 30 minutes. This method will also help remove excess oiliness and add shine to your hair.

Strongly brewed tea is also suitable for straightening. One glass of tea (average volume 200 mm) needs 1 teaspoon of sugar. Warm liquid is applied to washed and slightly damp hair.

It is important not to overdo it with sugar, otherwise you can get the effect of sticky hair.

There are many ways to make your hair smooth and flowing and do without the services of beauty salons, but do it yourself.

It is important to understand that everything is individual: what helps one person will not work for another.

And out of many ways, through trial and error, everyone can choose something that is most suitable and convenient for themselves personally.

In the morning you have to get up an hour earlier to straighten the strands with an iron - a long procedure! Long-term hair straightening in the salon will help you save time by prolonging your morning sleep.

A couple of centuries ago, straight and smooth strands were worn only by representatives of the lower classes - peasant women, workers, servants. And for ladies (and gentlemen) from high society it was fashionable to appear in the world with carefully curled locks.

If the hair did not give in to curling, I had to use wigs. It remains only to wonder how fashion has changed in such a short period - now, both exquisite curls and straight hair, smooth as silk, are held in high esteem.

Loose straight hair is good because the light is reflected in them more strongly, and due to this, they seem more shiny than "curls". But to straighten your hair to a "mirror" smoothness, you have to style it for hours before going to work.

Do you dream of having straight strands without spending so much time and effort? It is worth paying attention to the existing methods of making hair smooth and straightening it for a long time.

• You should not do the straightening yourself or with a friend who graduated from hairdressing courses a week ago. At best, this will not lead to the desired result. At worst, you run the risk of "burning" your hair if you use the composition incorrectly.
• A competent approach to choosing a salon and a qualified master guarantees you a smooth "mirror" hairstyle that will delight you for a very long time.
• The durability of the effect is due to the effect on the molecular structure of the hair. Various means can be used for the procedure, but the effect is the same - the hair structure changes dramatically. As a result, the strands remain straight even when the composition is completely washed off.
• As the roots grow back, they will curl again. Unfortunately, the procedure for "making" strands straight forever has not yet been invented. If you want to make your hair smooth for a long time, you will have to repeat the straightening session on the regrown roots - such an adjustment will cost you much less than the initial procedure.

Hair straightening methods for a long time

Among the well-known salon methods for smoothing hair, four can be distinguished:

Thermal (hot) hair straightening

Hot straightening only with a great stretch can be called a method of long-term smoothing. Your "every morning" styling with a hairdryer and pulling your hair with an iron - and there is thermal straightening, but in the salon it can be made more durable, using professional products to prolong the smooth effect.

How is thermal straightening performed in salons?

• The hair is thoroughly washed;
• The master rubs in them a serum, developed specifically to improve the durability of styling;
• The last stage is directly smoothing the hair. In some salons, a regular iron is used for this, while in others - a heated metal comb - brass or steel.

As a result, you will be able to show off the "mirror" smoothness of your hair from one to three days. Your strands will turn back into curls after the next wash.

Despite its fragility, hot straightening has pleasant "bonuses" - you will not spoil your hair with harmful chemical compounds, and you will also be able to change your image more often, turning either into a seductive "lady with curls", or into a smooth-haired "girl from shampoo advertising".

Permanent (chemical) hair straightening.

About 10 - 15 years ago, under the name "permanent straightening", the same old-Soviet "chemistry" was hidden, only "on the contrary" - the strands were not wrapped on curlers, but smoothed out.

This procedure was extremely harmful to the hair., as it was carried out using "hard" compounds with a huge amount of chemistry. But the hairdressing industry has long ago released many professional gentle permanent straightening products.

An individual approach to the client before chemical straightening is necessary - the same composition can suit one girl, another will cause allergies, and the third will not see the effect from it.

How is chemical hair straightening performed?

• First, you need to nourish your hair with moisturizers.
• Then the composition itself is applied.
• Ammonium thioglycolate. If your hair is obedient and does not curl violent curls, feel free to choose this remedy - it is the most "gentle" and "harmless".
• Guanidine hydroxide. This tool is also quite gentle, but it can increase the dryness of the hair. But it is more effective and able to cope with the smoothing of "stubborn" curls.
• Sodium hydroxide. Check with the master if this reagent is included in the composition, before starting the session. If there is, it is better to refuse the service. Sodium hydroxide is the most powerful smoothing agent, but the effects on hair can be dire!
• You will have to wait 15-20 minutes for the applied composition to work. Then it is completely washed off.
• Hair is lubricated with a fixing compound designed to enhance the smoothing effect, and then with a neutralizer, thanks to which it will restore its normal structure and receive less damage.
• A few more minutes of waiting, and the master will once again rinse your hair, and then do the styling as usual with a hair dryer and a brush.

By the way, the word "permanent" came to us from the English speech. It translates as "permanent", "unchanging". This means your hair will stay straight forever! The strands growing from the roots will curl again, but those that have been straightened once will not change.

This feature can be called both a plus and a minus of chemical straightening. This is a way out for girls with a type of appearance that curly curls do not decorate. For example, for African women, whose hairstyles, given by nature, leave much to be desired. Therefore, they are frequent guests of salons who buy the service of permanent straightening.

3. Bio-smoothing.

Bio-smoothing is an innovation of its kind for most salons. This procedure, like chemical straightening, changes the molecular structure of the hair, but not forever, but only for 3 to 6 months.

The bio-straightening procedure consists of only three steps, but get ready to spend six hours in the salon if your hair is thick and below the waist.

How is the bio-straightening procedure:

• Each strand is treated with a composition based on amino-cysteic acids;
• After waiting for the necessary reaction, the master washes off the composition and lays down each strand with an iron;
• The finished styling is processed with a special fixative, whose role is to increase the shelf life of your new hairstyle.

Unlike the chemical method, bio-straightening does not harm a single drop of hair. Moreover, it looks healthier and pleases the eye with a glossy shine.

Keratin (Brazilian) straightening.

The effect of a keratin straightening session is similar to the result of bio-smoothing, although they are performed on completely different formulations. You end up leaving the salon with beautiful, healthy, straight and shiny strands for up to five months.

The main stages of Brazilian smoothing:

• From roots to ends, the hair is thoroughly washed with a professional shampoo in order to degrease the scalp and completely get rid of impurities.
• A towel is thrown over the head in order to absorb excess water.
• The master treats your curls with a special agent, the active ingredient of which is keratin. As a result, the hair gets a "shock" dose of protein, which makes them smooth by straightening the cuticle, and also envelops each hair with a protective coating.
• Without washing off the composition, the master dries the head with a hairdryer.
• Then a hot treatment is performed to "imprint" the composition into each hair. To do this, the master divides the hair into many strands, and then processes each of them with an iron. Sometimes it is necessary to pull one strand up to eight times, but they withstand the "attack" thanks to the protein protection.
• Hair is slightly moistened with warm water; a firming mask is applied to them, which is washed off after a minute.
• The final step is to moisturize them with an indelible product, and then to style them with a hair dryer.

Despite the large number of stages, the procedure does not take very long - about an hour and a half.

Why is the straightening procedure dangerous for hair?

Side effects from straightening happen extremely rarely if the approach to choosing a salon, method and means was competent and unhurried.

Among the most common unpleasant consequences of straightening are the following:

• Scalp burns.
  This side effect usually occurs after permanent straightening. But sometimes you can get badly burned with a harmless iron. To avoid such situations, do not use the services of homebrew specialists - contact a trusted master.
• Burnt hair.
  If your straightened hair looks like straw, the master may have overexposed the product on the head for longer than the required period.
• Have increased hair loss.
  Sometimes weakened hairs react with shedding to chemical straightening. If such a misfortune happened to you - eat them with masks for a while and take a course of vitamins - the problem will be solved.
• Allergic reactions.
  Before the session, be sure to tell the master what substances are causing you allergies. Based on these data, the method and composition for the procedure will be selected.
• General harm to health.
  If the amount of harmful substances in the composition of the product used exceeds the permissible limit, you may experience side effects characteristic of this product. For example, if you have nausea and dizziness after Brazilian straightening - most likely the formaldehyde content in the keratin product exceeded the safe dose - 0.2% of the total amount (or your body simply has an increased sensitivity to this substance).
• A blow to the wallet.
  Straightening your hair for a long time is not a cheap pleasure (if, of course, a good salon is chosen). But what an effect!

• Never wash your hair for three to four days after the session. The main thing is to avoid exposure to moisture on the hair altogether. If during this period they accidentally get wet during bathing or slightly damp in rainy weather - you risk getting back at least a "light wave", and even curls.
• Hair pinching, brushing back, braiding, and other hairstyles should be avoided for three days after the smoothing session. Putting them behind the ears is also prohibited on these days.
• As soon as the "untouchable period" for hair expires, it is allowed to wash it, but only with sulfate-free products.
• Don't go to bed with a wet head! Make sure your hair is dry before you go to bed. If not, use a hair dryer.
• Throw out any hairpins and combs made of metal or wood. Replace them with plastic ones.
• If you've done chemical straightening, be sure to hide your hair from direct sunlight. And after shampooing, apply special masks to protect and restore.

Following these tips will help you enjoy straight and shiny hair for a long time without causing any harm to it. Remember, they are the main adornment of a woman, which will give a unique charm even with nondescript facial features.

Feminine fickleness has become simply an inexhaustible topic for jokes, anecdotes, or simply sarcastic remarks. Well, okay, let them laugh, we will go straight to our goal, because all we need is just to look good. And if today we feel comfortable with curls, and tomorrow with perfectly even strands, then we will twist and straighten them at least indefinitely. But the main task is to keep your hair healthy and beautiful.

Every girl knows how to straighten her hair, but if you put aside a hairdryer, a round comb and an iron, the task ceases to seem so simple. Therefore, we decided to talk about ways that will help you forget about daily styling and leveling for a long time.

How to straighten hair without an iron and hairdryer: effective ways

You have already guessed that now we are going to talk about salon procedures. Quickly, effectively, and most importantly, the effect lasts for a long time.

Chemical straightening. It is designed to straighten such curls, which cannot be dealt with by any device. Hard, naughty curls without ironing and without a straightener become completely meek, meek and, lo and behold, smooth! Such a transformation will be expensive, and this is not only about the financial side of the issue. The structure of the hair changes under the influence of sufficiently aggressive chemical components, and this will not go unnoticed for its health. Therefore, this method is recommended only for those who want to get rid of frizz. It is carried out in several stages:

• Preparation. The hair is treated with a special composition that helps to open the hair scales for further penetration of the straightening agent;
• A straightener is applied and the hair is thermally smoothed;
• Flushing;
• Application of a mixture that provides smoothness and shine to the strand;
• Anchoring. Special sprays will protect against external influences.

That's all. Perfectly even and smooth strands will delight for months. A significant disadvantage of the procedure will be far from the most useful composition of the means used. But, the regular thermal effect that our long-suffering hairstyle endures with daily styling no less destructively affects the condition of the curls, so you yourself choose which of the two evils is less

Keratinization or bio straightening. A more gentle method compared to the previous version. But, many are confused by the duration of the procedure, because depending on the length of the strand, it can take up to 4 hours. Only the most purposeful girls can withstand so much in a hairdresser's chair. But the result is worth it! Perfect styling without a hair dryer, curling iron or any other means at hand! Yes, even those who have naturally straight hair dream about it!

Somehow everything turns out too perfect. There is also a second side to the coin - this is the price. As in the previous case, it is quite high, therefore it will be insanely disappointing if keratinization on your hair does not give the desired effect (and this also happens). But if everything goes well, you can forget about naughty curls for almost six months.

How to straighten your hair at home

It would be naive to count on getting rid of annoying curls on your own, without drastic measures, and even quickly. After all, the beauty and well-groomed hair is a huge work that requires no less great patience. But on the other hand, there are many options for how you can straighten your hair without harm to them:

• Oil. You can use any of the options available in your arsenal: burdock, castor, olive. The principle of operation is extremely simple: being distributed along the hair, the oil makes it heavier, and therefore makes it smoother. How to apply? Apply oil slightly warmed in a water bath over the entire length, insulate, wash off after an hour with shampoo. Twice a week will be enough to notice the result quickly enough;
• Acetic rinse. In addition to the main task, it will help fight high fat content. We dilute 2 tablespoons of vinegar in a liter of water and rinse the hair with this mixture after each wash. Let it dry on its own, and comb the slightly damp strands;
• Henna. This method is not for the faint of heart, since you will have to remove the remnants of the product in several approaches. But cooking is simple: we dilute colorless henna with water to a state of gruel and apply along the entire length. We withstand an hour, then wash off. Regular use will give a noticeable effect;
• Sweet tea. It is quite capable of replacing foam or varnish. You don't have to use a hairdryer. Simply put the sweet composition on wet strands and dry with a comb. It is very important not to overdo it, therefore it is better to use a spray bottle to cover the hair with a thin and even layer;
• Gelatin mask. It gives the most lasting effect, but its effect is not always noticeable the first time. The recipe is simple: a tablespoon of gelatin + 1/3 cup of warm water + a spoonful of any hair balm. We mix everything, slightly heat it, apply it to washed hair and wait ¾ hour. wash off with cool water.

Creative girls also offer an original drying method that will allow you to make the strands even without additional effort, although it is only suitable for sufficiently long hair: we wrap the wet strands around the head, creating a kind of hat. We fix each ball with invisible ones. Let the hair dry.

Immediately, we note that this is a rather long process, therefore this option is suitable in cases where you wash your hair before bedtime. When you wake up, you will see not the chaos that is usual for such situations, but quite even and beautiful strands. And so that they are also voluminous, style your hair against the usual direction.

Straightening cosmetics

Let's make a reservation right away, cosmetics can help when working only with light waviness, therefore, owners of thick curls and coarse hair can hardly rely on it exclusively. It can be a finishing touch that will consolidate the effect of previous procedures. But with thin and naughty strands, it is quite possible to cope in such a simple way. Both in pharmacies and in cosmetic stores, you can pick up a series of eminent or budget brands, but we will not dwell on the names, since you can only find the perfect option for yourself by experience. Among the proposed options, it is worth paying attention to the following types of funds:

• Spray. It captivates with the lightness and weightlessness of its texture. Almost imperceptible on the hair, it fulfills its task without sticking or imparting a dirty effect. They are used both on just washed strands and just before leaving. An additional bonus from its use will be a beautiful shine;
• Oil. It not only improves the structure of the hair, but also protects against heat or scorching sun rays. Double benefit: straight strands + burnout protection;
• Serum. Apply to hair after washing. Then they can be dried both naturally and with a hair dryer. Often combined with a spray;
• Creams. A dense enough texture can even out even bouncy curls. Apply to damp hair and spread over the entire length. Minus - shampooing will become a daily routine.

Many girls like chic, bouncy curls that naturally fall over their shoulders, but the owners of naughty hard strands sometimes have a hard time. A watch with a hairdryer and curling iron can significantly damage the structure of the curls.

Leading hairdressers-stylists will tell you how to straighten hair with home remedies without using thermal devices and preserve the result for a long time. They will share their own experience of how the procedure is performed in the salons.

Before we can straighten wavy curls, we need to understand the reasons why they frizz. Every day our curls are exposed to the harmful influence of external factors:

1. Cold.
2. Air pollution.
3. Tight tails and braids.
4. Improper care.
5. Exposure to hair dryers, irons and hairpads.

In order to perfectly straighten your hair for a while, it is not necessary to resort to the services of professionals or to use special devices. You can try folk recipes.

Traditional methods

• Vinegar rinse... This tool is in every kitchen. All that is needed is to apply vinegar diluted with water to the curls after washing your hair and leave it to dry completely. Never speed up this process with a hairdryer or iron. You won't be able to completely straighten the curls, but the effect will be quite impressive. Importantly, the hair will become much softer and more manageable.
• Straightening with beer... After you have washed your hair, you need to take 0.5 liters of beer into a glass and gently apply liquid on wet curls with a comb. It is better to start moisturizing from the back of the head, and massage it in from roots to ends. Thus, the fluffiness will be significantly reduced.

Brazilian keratin straightening

An innovation in the beauty industry is the saturation of hair with keratin for the purpose of straightening it. The procedure is very effective, but also expensive. This is especially good for the structure after chemistry. Keratins saturate the curls with useful substances and give them their former strength.

The effect after this method lasts at least 3 months, depending on the condition of the curls, length, and the density and thickness of the strands plays a significant role.

The benefits of keratin straightening:

1. This method can both straighten hair and heal it.
2. The result looks beautiful and well-groomed.
3. There are no restrictions on lifestyle, daily routine.
4. Hair does not weigh down like lamination and breathes.

Lamination or carving

Taking care of long braids always takes a lot of time and effort. Hair lamination is an equally effective straightening procedure. This method is much cheaper than keratin straightening, and is more available at home, and also works well after curling and dyeing.

We will need one yolk, organic or baby shampoo, quality gelatin, olive or almond oil. The procedure takes place in two stages, so you need to clearly calculate the amount of ingredients.

Photo - perfectly straight hair

Stage one... Mix gelatin with six tablespoons of warm water, dissolve it. Divide this liquid in half and mix one half in equal proportions with shampoo. Next, you need to apply the mixture to your hair for 30-40 minutes and cover your head with plastic and a towel. If the curls are very thick, then stand a little longer.

Stage two... Mix the other half of the gelatinous liquid with the yolk and add one spoonful of the selected cosmetic oil there. You will get a mask for a hairstyle not of a steep consistency. It should be spread over its entire length and left for 2 hours. At the end, just rinse off with warm water without shampoo. This is one of the most popular methods for straightening your hair without a straightener yourself. The lamination procedure should be repeated every two weeks, then it will appear that the curls have straightened out forever.

After lamination stylists not recommended:

1. Straighten the strands with an iron. Withstand at least a few days after the procedure, although with high-quality work, additional alignment is not needed.
2. Wash your hair earlier than the third day after lamination.
3. Do a chemical or bio-wave directly on laminated braids. After carving, the hair is still damaged, not as badly as chemically, but still. Lamination works not only to improve the appearance, but also to nourish the curls. In the event of direct physical impact, all work will be in vain.

Hairdryer and iron

Photo - Girls with curly girls

According to the opinion of reputable hairdressers, there is no way to permanently straighten curly strands. The cheapest and most affordable method is straightening with an iron or hairdryer. If you do not do this styling too often and alternate the effect with, then the structure will not suffer much, and the hairstyle will be neat every day.

In order to straighten hair yourself, you need a certain skill and good massage comb, preferably made from natural materials with soft bristles, round shape. The only drawback: during rain or fog, the strands will quickly start curling again, in this case, an old friend will help - styling varnish.

It is the same with the hair iron, but here the material of the plate and the quality of the unit itself play a very important role. Do not set the maximum temperature when leveling and do not repeat the procedure more than every two days.

Special means

Many brands specializing in the production of vitamins for hair growth and care products began to develop special straighteners for curls. These can be shampoos, balms, masks or essences. In order to get the result, you need to select products that are strictly suitable for the hair structure, and use them regularly, preferably in combination. The curls will not be perfectly even, but they will be much more obedient.

Long-term hair straightening - is it possible? Whether it is worth subjecting your head of hair to such tests and what are their consequences - this is what we will talk about in this article. I would like to start with the fact that the modern beauty industry offers many ways that will help turn even the most naughty curls into smooth and even strands. Let's take a closer look at each of them.

Brazilian straightening

It is also known as keratin. As part of the product applied to the hair during the straightening procedure, this protein-rich substance is used. In addition to processing hair, each strand is also heated with an iron. This is done in order to speed up and improve the absorption of the mixture into the hair. The entire procedure, despite its complexity, will take a specialist in the salon no more than two hours. The keratin method provides long lasting. For at least five months, you will enjoy obedient and smooth hair.

Smoothing hair with amino-cysteic acids

Bio-straightening is an extremely long and meticulous procedure. If you are the owner of long and thick hair, then get ready to spend half a day in the beauty salon. As in the first case, a special composition will be applied to the hair, after which the specialist will perform a hot treatment. The result will be fixed with a specialized fixation tool. Long-lasting hair straightening is guaranteed if you use the bio-smoothing procedure. Hair will delight you from three to six months (the duration depends on the nature of the hair).

Straightening using chemicals

This method of smoothing curls is extremely harmful to the hair, but very effective when it comes to curls of African origin. It consists in changing the structure of the hair by exposure to several chemicals. A striking advantage of this type of straightening is immutability, that is, once smoothed hair will remain so forever. Not everyone can use it, and it is advisable to consult with a specialist and make sure that you will not be left without hair. Below you can see a photo of "hair straightening" by this method.

Thermal smoothing

This is the most short-lived method. It is perfect if your goal is to attend an event or to have a wedding. Its meaning lies in fixing the standard styling with specialized means. The result of the specialist's work will last no more than three days.

Conclusion

What is the best hair straightening, it is impossible to answer unequivocally. You need to take into account a number of factors, for example, for how long do you need, how much you are willing to pay for this procedure, what is the condition of the hair at the moment. The most gentle and effective procedure is bio-hair straightening and keratin smoothing. They gently affect the structure of your hair and change it only for a short time. Hair straightening for a long time is also possible with the help of chemicals, however, only people with healthy and intact hair need to resort to this method.
