How to restore hair after chemistry?

In the modern world with a high pace of life, many working women want to keep their hair and curls as long as possible. And for this you sometimes have to resort to radical measures, such as a perm. It must be admitted that this method has a very unfavorable effect on the condition of the hair and requires restoration, more careful and careful care for them in the future. Fortunately, nowadays there are many remedies, both professional and folk, for maintaining the health and beauty of hair.

First, let's consider what is the essence of perm, what happens to the hair during this procedure.

Normal healthy hair is covered with dense keratin scales. Keratin is a protein made up of various amino acids, and the main one is cysteine, which is the main link. To create curls, the hair is treated with special chemicals that destroy this amino acid, and the hair is easier to deform. The degree of destruction can be different.

An experienced hairdresser will never do chemistry if the client has weakened hair. Even healthy strands undergo significant damage. In any case, after chemistry, the hair needs more gentle care, and sometimes, if the procedure is unsuccessful, and complete restoration.

Basic rules for restoring hair health:

• protect hair from overdrying and hypothermia, that is, it is undesirable to use a hairdryer, walk in hot or cold weather without a hat;
• do not expose your hair to additional chemical and physical influences - do not swim in salty sea or chlorinated water in a pool, comb with a comfortable comb, first lubricate, soften your hair, do not make complex hairstyles using varnishes, do not use metal clips and hairpins, preferably paint during this period;
• use special professional or folk remedies to soften, nourish and moisturize the strands (shampoos, balms, masks, herbal decoctions);
• eat right, so that the diet contains foods containing quite a few amino acids to restore keratin, as well as a sufficient amount of vitamins.

Hair restoration and strengthening must begin with hydration and nutrition. There are a lot of professional and folk remedies and methods for this. This can be done both in the salon and at home. You just need to be patient and persistent. Not the least role in this is played by the diet and the general condition of the body.

Currently, hundreds of manufacturers of cosmetics and medical cosmetics can provide whole lines of products: shampoos, balms, sprays, serums, oils, rinses, hair masks, conditioners.

There are mass products that are offered to consumers in every store, the so-called mass market. And there are professional and medicinal cosmetics that are sold in pharmacies and specialized stores. Such cosmetic preparations have healing properties, as they contain medicinal ingredients (keratin, betaine, panthenol), as well as natural ingredients (plant extracts, oils).

Products from companies such as Vichy, Kerastase, Collistar are sold in pharmacies. These well-known, time-tested manufacturers produce medicinal cosmetics according to recipes that have passed experimental testing, with the strictest adherence to technology and safety.

And also excellent cosmetic professional products are produced by the firms Estel, Wella, L "Oréal and others.

For example, Estel Curex Therapy mask, which contains proteins and collagen, is an excellent regenerating agent. Many manufacturers, for example, L "Oréal, produce a whole line of products for hair regeneration after perm. It includes shampoo, conditioner, hair moisturizer and nourishing oil. In general, in order to achieve a good result during treatment, it is recommended to use the entire cosmetic line of one manufacturer as a whole.

The packaging usually states for what purpose the cosmetic product is intended. In case of unsuccessful chemistry, a remedy for damaged and dry hair is chosen. And also it is worth paying attention to the composition of the product. A self-respecting modern manufacturer will definitely indicate from which components this cosmetic product is made.

Shampoos are chosen according to their personal feelings, it happens that even the most ordinary shampoo from an ordinary store suits better than expensive counterparts. It is also recommended to change them from time to time.

Balms are used to soften and moisturize. For sensitive scalp, only balms can be used instead of shampoos. Serums and conditioners are mostly water-resistant. Hair after all procedures is dried in a natural way, without a hairdryer. Masks and oils should be applied before shampooing every 2-3 days until the hair looks healthy.

Many women prefer affordable and inexpensive, but no less effective methods of hair care - these are folk recipes for masks and herbal decoctions. Sometimes they turn out to be even more effective than all these expensive cosmetics. For this, natural products and all kinds of herbs are used.

Folk healers have long known the healing properties of many plants and herbs, and their experience has been passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, you can be sure that herbal decoctions and natural vegetable oils will not harm your health.

First of all, we can recommend various oils: burdock, olive, coconut, sesame, linseed. Before use, you need to heat the oil a little, rub the scalp and strands to the full length, collect the hair, cover with plastic wrap and wrap with a towel. Hold for 20-30 minutes, then wash off with shampoo.

Masks at home can literally be prepared from everything that is at hand. These are dairy products (kefir, sour cream, whey), and rye bread, and honey, and lemon, and eggs, and mayonnaise. They even use products such as onions, garlic, hot peppers, mustard, as they increase blood flow. Juice is squeezed out of the onion, the scalp is lubricated. Pepper, mustard can be added to masks. Only such masks must be done with care and not kept for a very long time, so as not to irritate the scalp.

With the help of medicinal herbal decoctions, rinses can be prepared. But you need to remember that plants color the hair, for example, a decoction of chamomile, calendula is used only for light hair, onion husks, sage, burdock root give a red hue, and nettle, calamus, rosemary are better for brown and dark hair.

Brewed black and green tea also has beneficial effects on the hair and scalp. It is enough to rinse your head with tea leaves after shampooing.

At home, you can even carry out the lamination procedure, almost like in salons. To do this, 1 sachet of gelatin is diluted in 3 tablespoons of boiled water at room temperature, allowed to brew, then add a tablespoon of balm and apply to clean, damp hair, wrap your head with a towel and stand for an hour. Then you need to rinse your hair and dry it without a hairdryer. This mask does not have a therapeutic effect, but strengthens weak brittle hair, gives it a healthy look.

Before you propose ways to quickly restore hair after unsuccessful chemistry, you need to immediately warn that you will not be able to completely restore your hair right away. But you can urgently cure the burned strands.

• It is best to consult a trichologist. There you can be offered such procedures as mesotherapy (these are injections of medicines and vitamins into the hair follicles), low-intensity laser therapy, plasma-lifting (injection of blood plasma in the form of injections under the scalp).

• And you can also offer a haircut, as the most radical way to save the hairstyle, but the newly growing hair will still have to be carefully looked after.

• At home, you can make express masks from natural products. (egg yolks, burdock, olive oil, honey, cognac, kefir, aloe) for several days.

• In specialized salons, damaged hair can be reanimated in almost one session. The master will select professional nourishing shampoos, masks and serums with a high concentration of active ingredients, which will supply every hair with useful microelements. Then he will massage the head and finish with a conditioner. Other salon services are described in more detail below.

If hair damage is serious, folk remedies and cosmetic preparations do not work, and if financial resources permit, then it is best to turn to the services of a professional specialist. The master will competently assess the condition of the hair and prescribe exactly the procedures that are necessary, select the right drugs and cosmetics.

Here are some of the more well-known types of services.

• Hair cisteing. It is one of the most effective, sustainable and safe hair treatments and is dermatologically approved. It uses a drug that contains the amino acid - cysteine. But it should be noted that this is one of the expensive procedures.

• Glazing. The preparation contains active substances, which fill the porous areas of damaged hair, and also covers the hair surface with a protective film. It may also contain pigments that give the hair a rich tone.

• Ampoule treatment. A special agent in ampoules contains a high concentration of vitamins, amino acids and antioxidants, which have an instant healing effect, but it passes very quickly, and therefore it is necessary to carry out not one session, but a whole course of treatment.

• SPA treatments - one of the most pleasant types of services, includes baths, massage, all kinds of masks, peeling, rinsing with balms and essences, and only natural ingredients are used: salt, clay, oils, fruits, algae and so on.
