Biolamination of hair: what is, means, the essence of the method

Hair biolamination is a procedure aimed at restoring and improving curls. It can be performed in the salon or at home using specialized tools. Consider the features of the procedure, indications and care after it.

Biolamination is a technique by which it is possible to visually change the structure of the hair, make it smoother and shinier. In fact, this procedure is similar to conventional lamination. The difference lies in the means used. Everyone's usual lamination is done using compositions that mainly contain synthetic components. Bioprocessing involves the use of natural products. They contain cellulose, vitamins and minerals that actively nourish the hair shaft.

Thanks to biolamination, a strong film is formed on the hair surface. It helps to "seal" the exfoliated flakes. In addition, the cellulose casing reliably protects the curls from mechanical and thermal damage, as well as other negative influences. The film visually makes the hair thicker and stronger.

Biolamination is of two types - colorless and colored. The first is used only for restorative purposes. With color, coloring agents are used that allow you to change the original color by several tones.

Beautiful and healthy hair is rarely a gift from nature. Often, their luxurious appearance is based on proper daily care, balanced nutrition, and adequate sleep. If one of these factors is absent, there is a high risk of deterioration of the condition of the strands.

In addition, women often like to conduct various experiments on their hair to change their image. This can be dyeing, perm, the use of flat pans, irons, hair dryers for styling. All this negatively affects the health of the strands. Over time, they begin:

• thin out;
• break and split at the ends;
• fall out;
• get electrified or fluffed up.

Biolamination of hair is gaining popularity every day. He is preferred by both young girls and women of age.

There are several main benefits driving the demand for this cosmetic procedure.

1. Visual transformation of the strands. After the very first procedure, the result will be noticeable - the hair will become smooth, elastic, acquire a healthy shine and shine. They will stop electrifying. If brittle strands are split at the ends, the compounds used in biolamination will glue them and eliminate roughness on the injured curls.
2. Long-term color retention of colored strands. Over time, when washing your hair, the coloring pigments are washed off the hair, which makes it dull. The casing formed after biolamination is able to prevent premature washout of the color.
3. Protection of the hair shaft from the effects of various adverse factors (for example, excessively low or high temperatures). Protection is provided by the film formed on each hair.
4. Safety of the procedure. It is allowed during pregnancy and lactation. The fact is that the compositions used do not contain chemically aggressive components and formaldehyde, which are often found in lamination products. As a result, the risk of harm to yourself or the child is minimized. Exceptions are only in case of individual intolerance to one or more components.
5. Uncomplicated execution technology. Biolamination is recommended to be carried out in beauty salons. However, if you want to save money, you can do it at home. Subject to the rules and algorithm of action, the effect will be no worse than the salon one.

The result of biolamination is manageable, straight, shiny and voluminous hair. Many hairdressing and beauty salons receive good income every day from such a procedure. However, some professional craftsmen do not take responsibility and refuse to provide biolamination services, explaining this by the disadvantages of the technique.

It should be said that biolamination is not suitable for all hair. It is not recommended to do it in situations where the hair follicle is too weak. The cellulose film puts stress on the curls. Due to the extra weight hair may fall out with greater intensity. Therefore, it makes sense to refuse this procedure if the strands are thinned and weakened.

Another drawback is considered temporary effect. As already mentioned, a protective sheath forms on the surface of the hair, it prevents the penetration of air oxygen to the hair shaft and interferes with its natural "breathing". As a result, under the film the hair begins to gradually break down. When shampooing, the shell is partially washed off along with peeled scales, which causes excessive brittleness of the hair. Women often complain that their curls looked even healthier before the procedure.

The disadvantages include the expensive cost, especially if the procedure is performed by a salon master. Even if you do biolamination at home yourself, you will have to spend money on professional tools that are not cheap.

Biolamination formulations are available in a wide range of professional hair care stores. The most popular products are produced by the following brands.

• Lebel Is a Japanese company offering a biolamination kit. It includes a laminating compound, a special shampoo and a caring balm. The products are made using grape seeds and nourishing proteins.

• Concept Is a company producing formulations based on keratin, various amino acids and glycerin.

• Kemon offers a four-phase complex, the action of which is aimed at restoring the damaged structure of the hair. The active components of the formulations are extracts from avocado and bamboo. The kit consists of shampoo, laminating mask, lotion and balm cream.

• Estel manufactures a biolamination kit that includes shampoo, gel laminator, lotion and caring serum.

However, there are also "handy" components that are available in every home, for example, gelatin. It can also be used for biolamination. To do this, mix the swollen and melted gelatin with the usual balm or mask and apply the solution to clean and damp hair. The resulting mass is distributed along the entire length of the strands, kept for at least an hour under a bathing cap or towel, then washed off with warm water.

Consider how to independently make biolamination with staining at home. To do this, you will need special two-phase kits, including caring, coloring and laminating agents. Colored biolamination includes the following steps:

• shampooing and applying a coloring composition for 20 minutes;
• distribution of the laminating agent along the entire length, excluding the roots (left on the hair for 10-20 minutes);
• washing off the laminator and applying a caring balm or gel for 10-15 minutes.

The effect after the procedure is wonderful. Hair becomes more voluminous, straight and manageable, and gains shine. Unfortunately, the result is not persistent. When you wash your hair, the protective shell is washed off, and with it, shine and volume disappear. With thinning of the film, the hair will again begin to frizz, break and become thinner.

Basically, the duration of the effect will depend on the correct care. This time can be from 3 weeks to 6. Do not do the procedure too often. Enough once every two months. Otherwise, there is a high risk of further damage to the hair.

In order for the effect of biolamination to persist as long as possible, it is worth listening to the recommendations from experts. Care Tips:

• after the procedure, for 3 days, you should refuse to wash your hair, styling your hair with a hairdryer, curls and styling compounds;
• in the first 24 hours, you do not need to collect strands in a bun or tail;
• do not use shampoos with high acidity (in the ideal case, the pH value should not exceed 7) and means for deep cleaning;
• it is necessary to use masks and conditioners every time after washing.

Opinions about the popular procedure are mixed. Biolamination has both positive and negative responses. According to those who have resorted to this technique, its advantage lies in the immediate result. After the procedure, the hair is visually transformed - it becomes straight, obedient, shiny. The problems with tangling fine strands and the difficulty of combing after washing disappear.

Many are upset that the effect does not last long. You can enjoy the result of biolamination no more than 4 weeks, and on some hair the protective film lasts even less, no more than 7 days. Most women noted that after this period the condition of their hair became noticeably worse than it was. The disadvantages also include the high cost of the procedure, especially if you do it in the salon.
