Hair lamination products: professional preparations and folk recipes

To attract the attention of men, it is sometimes just enough to be the owner of beautiful, well-groomed and healthy hair. For every woman, professional stylists can choose a whole series of special procedures that will allow even heavily damaged hair to become strong and attractive again. One of these procedures is hair lamination.

Hair lamination is a cosmetic procedure, thanks to which you can heal and strengthen the hair structure. It is possible to make the curls attractive with the help of special professional lamination products. They contribute to the formation of a special protective film on each hair. It is the film that prevents damage to the strands from the effects of negative external factors.

There are many types of hair lamination procedures that are performed in salons. However, their disadvantages and advantages, as a rule, are reduced to a general list with the exception of some aspects. So, the following factors can be attributed to the positive effects of the lamination process:

• ensuring an attractive appearance of curls;
• enveloping with a special protective layer, which prevents the destruction of the hair structure from the effects of various negative factors;
• giving elasticity and shine to curls;
• safety of the procedure;
• giving extra volume to the hair;
• possible harmless coloring of the strands during the lamination process.

As for the disadvantages, they are as follows:

• hairs with a too destroyed structure do not lend themselves well to one-time lamination;
• after the session, hair coloring becomes impossible (including the use of tint balms);
• the laminate is gradually washed out from the curls (the process can last up to one month);
• the high cost of the procedure due to the components and care products for curls after lamination.

Not all manufacturers can be called conscientious, since some of them produce low-quality products. In order not to make a mistake when choosing special preparations, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the rating of the best professional cosmetics.

Sometimes, for preventive purposes, it is better to resort to folk remedies. Some mask recipes have a lamination effect and are capable of making your curls shiny and strong again, just as expensive professional counterparts. For a long period of time, everyone has known the recipe for a home remedy based on gelatin.

However, in this article we will describe masks without using it. They can also cope with the task set before them as well as gelatin or professional cosmetic products.

This lamination option is best used for those whose hair is fairly dry in structure. It is coconut milk, thanks to its composition rich in nutrients, that helps to strengthen and smooth the hair structure. In particular, this process is carried out due to the high percentage of lauric acid content.

The preparation method consists in the following steps.

1. You need to mix 100 ml of coconut milk and 4 tsp. olive oil. The milk-oil mixture is put on low heat.
2. Juice is squeezed out of one lemon and starch is diluted with it (3 tbsp. L.). The resulting mixture is added to the one that is already on low heat.
3. The composition must be constantly stirred until the solution thickens.

For proper application of the mask, adhere to the following recommendations:

1. the resulting composition should be applied in a uniform thin layer along the entire length of clean and pre-dried hair;
2. it is necessary to put on a warm cap for 60-90 minutes;
3. after that, the mask is washed off either with warm water or with shampoo.

In combination, these two components of the mask can work wonders with your strands and make them unusually beautiful and strong. One of the main features of this recipe is that this composition can even be applied to the hair roots.

To prepare such a mask, you will need to mix one chicken egg with 3 tbsp. l. mayonnaise, 5 tbsp. l. kefir and 1 tbsp. l. castor oil. The resulting mixture should be infused for 10-15 minutes. After that, the mask will be completely ready for use.

The composition is used as follows.

1. The resulting mixture should be applied in an even layer along the entire length of the hair, including the roots.
2. Next, the treated strands are covered with a plastic bag and a towel (the cap is removed after one hour).
3. The mask is washed off under the pressure of warm water. Do not use shampoos or other hair care products.

This recipe for a homemade mask with a lamination effect is popular among many cosmetologists. Flax seeds contain many vitamins and acids useful for hair, which help to smooth and nourish the strands. To prepare a flaxseed mask, you will need to pour 4 tsp. seeds 200 ml of boiling water and let them brew for 30 minutes. Then add 1 tsp. burdock oil. The resulting solution should be mixed well.

Before using the composition, you must wash your hair. Then the composition is applied in stages (separately for each strand). If desired, you can apply the mask to the hair roots. After this procedure, you should insulate your hair for 1.5-2 hours. The mask is washed off without shampoo, only with warm water.

The duration and strength of the effect itself will depend on the choice of lamination products and hair care products after this procedure. Professional stylists propose to be guided by some criteria during the selection of lamination products and the subsequent care of their curls.

First of all, it is worth considering the fact that any cosmetic product is intended for a specific type of hair (dry, brittle, colored, and so on).

In order not to accidentally purchase a fake product, due to which problems may arise after a strand lamination session, you should make purchases only in specialized stores or order drugs on the manufacturer's website. The most famous manufacturers with a good name are companies from the USA, Japan and Germany.

Do not neglect the study of the composition of all drugs that you are going to use. Look out for sulfates in shampoos and other curl care products. They contribute to the destruction of the protective film.

A high-quality laminating agent contributes to the maximum possible protection effect. On average, the result after one session can stay on the hair from 3 to 6 weeks.

The quality of lamination will directly depend on the density of the product, since a thicker liquid will allow each hair to be properly processed and create a stronger protective film compared to a liquid product. Also, the economy of the consumption of funds will depend on this factor, which also plays an important role, for example, if you have long hair.
