Overview and application features of the Estel Keratin tool kit

Improving and restoring damaged hair is an important component in the daily care of almost every woman. Today, beauty salons offer a variety of healing services. The most popular is keratin hair straightening. In addition to restoring, moisturizing, nourishing, the curls receive additional protection from the harmful effects of the environment.

Treatment with liquid keratin is a restorative procedure that needs hair that has suffered from the negative effects of UV rays and thermal styling products. Treatment in this way occurs due to the deep penetration of nutrients into the hair structure: proteins, minerals and vitamins. With its strong action, keratin forms a protective film. This increases the resistance of curls to various external factors. Also, the beneficial properties of keratin are as follows:

• it has a restorative effect;
• saturates with natural protein;
• increases the life of the hair;
• protects from exposure to sunlight;
• gives shine, softness;
• provides easy combing without the use of special balms / gels, strands lend themselves better to styling;
• reduces their electrification;
• prolongs the effect of different types of staining;
• deeply nourishes and moisturizes;
• straightens strands;
• seals split ends;
• has a cumulative effect.

But classic keratinization has a number of disadvantages that you should be familiar with before the procedure.

• The low cost of the work indicates the poor quality of the material used.After its application, hair sticking is possible, which is difficult to get rid of.
• Kerating is not complete without thermal exposure (250 °). As a result, the risk of damage to the curls is quite high.
• Formaldehyde included in the composition is capable of provoking an allergic reaction.
• After the procedure, the hair becomes heavier - it is more difficult for them to stay in the bulb. Therefore, hair loss may increase.

The liquid keratin treatment process lasts an average of 3 hours. Its duration depends on the length of the strands. Experts recommend contacting professional masters, who will first conduct a consultation, determine the type and condition of the hair, and, if necessary, prescribe a special course of treatment. Home keratinization is also effective, but you should strictly follow the instructions for use. Keratin straightening includes several stages.

• The hair is combed with a fine-toothed comb.
• Shampooing is carried out with a special shampoo containing protein. It has a deep cleansing effect, removes dirt, sebum, and makeup residues.
• Then you need to comb the curls again.
• The drug is applied to wet strands, treating each one separately. The amount of keratin is calculated depending on the density and thickness of the hair.
• The product is left to act for 30 minutes. This time is enough to completely saturate the curls.
• After that, using a fine comb, the remnants of the drug are removed.
• Now proceed directly to the straightening process using a hot iron.

Masters note that the result from one session lasts from 3 to 6 months. The duration of the effect is influenced by:

• the initial state of the curls;
• compliance with the technology of the procedure;
• the quality of the substances used;
• follow-up care.
