The lamination process is a special type of covering the strands, leaving behind a smooth protective film that gives an extraordinary shine and shine. In addition to external indicators, the laminating composition strengthens, nourishes and moisturizes the hair from the inside.

The Russian professional brand Estel presents a special set, which includes all the necessary components for this procedure.

The main principles of the lamination service from the experts of the Estel company:

• the duration of the effect (with proper care) - up to 5 weeks;
• acts as not only a straightening, but also a treatment;
• preparations include a list of useful substances: wheat proteins, keratin, cellulose, soy.

The full name of the set is Estel iNeo-Crystal. The complex consists of several components.

• Preparing shampoo (200 ml). In addition to effectively cleansing curls and scalp, it provides the most profound effect of subsequent products.
• 3D gel (normal / weakened, severely damaged hair, 200 ml). Penetrating inside, the substances have a restorative, therapeutic effect on the structure of the strand.The very thin film formed that fills the damaged curl from the inside becomes protection.
• 2-phase fixing lotion (100 ml). The active ingredient - chitosan of natural origin - intensively moisturizes and nourishes the curls, and also has an antiseptic effect. This lotion provides a strong fixation of the film, without which the procedure will not last even a day.
• Serum (50 ml). Acts as the final product. Polishes lamination hair for instant softness, smoothness and shine.

According to Estel experts and professional hairdressers, the benefits of this service lie in the following points:

• solves the problem of dryness and brittleness;
• completely eliminates split ends;
• gives visible volume;
• restores even heavily damaged strands;
• helps to rehabilitate after staining, prolonged use of styling products: ironing, hair dryer;
• acts as a protection against the harmful effects of UV rays.

However, it is worth knowing about contraindications, so as not to harm the hair even more:

• severe hair loss;
• an allergic reaction to the composition;
• thin long curls;
• diseases of the scalp;
• recent illnesses.

Lamination is a suitable service for absolutely all hair types.

You can also carry out no less high-quality lamination yourself - each set from Estel has detailed instructions for use and important recommendations for obtaining the desired result.

Home lamination includes 4 main steps that must be performed step by step.

• First of all, you need to cleanse your hair and scalp using a special shampoo (the component in the set is marked with the number "1"). It should be applied to damp hair, lather well, then rinse with water. For the best result, experts recommend doing this procedure several times. This will keep your curls perfectly clean. Drying is allowed only in a natural way - without any heating devices.
• The 3-D gel is indicated by the number "2". First, comb your hair, divide it into 4 parts, securing it with hairpins. Using a brush, apply the composition first to the lower strands (do not forget to step back from the roots about 2 cm). Use your hands to spread the mixture all over your head. Now you need to collect the treated hair in a bun and put on a plastic cap. After that, you can start drying with a hair dryer (duration - 20 minutes). When finished, rinse the treated scalp with warm water, pat with a towel.
• The next step is to apply a special leave-in lotion. Be sure to shake the bottle well before use! Spray gently over the entire length of the curls.
• The serum is left to last. Keep in mind: if you have damaged hair - wet it, if not - apply the composition exclusively to dry ends. Thanks to this serum, the very radiance and softness will appear.

Manufacturers of the Russian company Estel promise a fairly long-term effect - up to 2 months. However, it is worth taking care of the subsequent care, which greatly affects the preservation of the result obtained.

Masters recommend following several rules for caring for hair after lamination:

• try not to wash your hair within 2 days after the service: this time is necessary for the full activation and fixing of the film;
• it is forbidden to use styling products such as a hair dryer, straightener, curling iron, etc.;
• it is better to purchase a professional line of products from Estel, designed for the care of laminated hair;
• be sure to use a protective balm from UV rays;
• it is forbidden to scrub / peel the scalp.

Judging by the feedback from the clients, Estel home lamination has a number of pros and cons.

Advantages:

• smoothness, softness, shine;
• reduction of split ends;
• strands stop fluffing;
• easy combing;
• strands lend themselves better to styling;
• absolutely safe composition;
• ease of use at home;
• protective barrier against harmful environmental influences;
• prolongs the "life" of colored hair.

Disadvantages:

• poor quality result (in case of non-compliance with all the rules);
• short-term effect;
• high cost of the work of specialists;
• subsequent special type of care;
• increasing the fat content of strands and roots.

First of all, women note that lamination at home is much easier than contacting professional hairdressers. Of course, the main advantage of the Estel iNeo-Crystal complex is its price: it is much lower than the salon one.

In addition to the cost, customers noted the regenerating effect of damaged strands, the appearance of an unusual shine, especially under sunlight, and an improvement in the overall appearance. Many in such an unusual way got rid of excessive cross-section, electrification, fluffiness.

In addition, women are satisfied with the volume of bottles with the drug, which, by the way, is enough for 3 procedures (with an average length of hair), which is a good saving of money and time. Nevertheless, some complain about almost zero results after using the Estel professional lamination line. The main reason is incorrect adherence to the recommendations for working with the composition, non-observance of the temperature regime, ignorance of the type and structure of one's own hair.

An important factor is follow-up care, which is mostly neglected by the fair sex: they continue to use their usual shampoo for daily shampooing, and sometimes they can not refrain from using styling equipment. Remember: only with the help of special tools it will be possible to preserve the very laminating film that gives shine and protection to your curls.
