Highlighted hair care

Many girls and women at least once in their lives have resorted to such a very popular procedure as highlighting. The process itself consists in bleaching some strands of hair and is not particularly difficult. However, many have encountered some difficulties after carrying out such staining. One of these difficulties is caring for highlighted hair.

As mentioned earlier, highlighting is a partial bleaching of hair. For this purpose, a powerful chemical is used that completely removes all pigments from the hair and destroys its structure.

The harm is done only if the procedure was carried out incorrectly - the chemical lasted too long. Another reason may be the wrong choice of tool.

Possible problems:

• hair destruction after too long a procedure;
• hair that has lost too much water becomes very dry and brittle;
• the appearance of dandruff;
• the appearance of split ends;
• hair becomes unruly, cannot be styled or straightened;
• hair loss.

It is well known that after highlighting it is recommended to use only special shampoos and care balms, but not everyone knows exactly which ones.

Using a moisturizing shampoo and a professional conditioner is a must. Such funds are necessary to restore water balance.

We must not forget about the balm, which, as a rule, is applied every time after washing. It is also extremely important to use masks at least once a week and arrange nourishing treatments using vegetable oils.

The most popular brands that make shampoos and conditioners for highlighted hair are:

• Schwarzkopf;
• L'Oréal;
• Taft;
• Shauma;
• Head & Shoulders and others.

It is very important to take care of your hair after this procedure. It is at this moment that they require more care and attention.

If, after the highlighting, the hair was burned, a number of specific actions should be performed.

1. The first step is to apply a conditioner balm. This tool is necessary in order to restore at least a little the disturbed water balance and preserve color.
2. It will be useful to purchase a special shampoo for highlighted hair. It is very important that it contains keratin, mineral water and as many vitamins as possible. Thus, the hair will become more vibrant and silky.
3. It is important to know that the next staining can be carried out at least 2 months later. During this time, the hair will have time to properly recover. Nevertheless, no one canceled tonics, tint shampoos and other harmless products. But they are also recommended to be used only after a couple of days.
4. It is better to forget about hair dryers, irons and other electrical appliances. Exposure to hot air on weakened hair will bring extremely negative consequences up to hair loss and yellowness.
5. Actions that can damage the hair should also be negated. These include drying with a towel, and combing wet hair, and other damage.
6. If the highlighting procedure was carried out at home, then you should take care of special masks that will help your hair recover as quickly and easily as possible.

In case of hair loss after highlighting, you should also take care of appropriate care.

1. To improve blood circulation, professionals recommend using a special massage. It is best to massage your scalp just before going to bed.
2. The combs used should be natural-bristled, and it is best to use old wooden combs.
3. Many people advise making your own nutritional shakes. However, if this is not possible, then they can be purchased at specialized cosmetic stores.
4. Proper nutrition will also be useful. It is recommended to exclude everything fatty, sweet and harmful, and priority should be given to healthy and natural products - cereals, vegetables, fruits, and so on.
5. You can start using drugs intended for pregnant women or women who have already given birth. Such substances contain many essential elements.

For those girls who remained extremely unhappy after the procedure, there are certain options and methods that can help restore curls.

You can treat them both at home and in salons. However, it is best to seek the help of professionals, although such treatment is not particularly cheap. The average price ranges from 2 to 10 thousand rubles, depending on the complexity and type of procedure.

There are different treatment options.

After highlighting, lamination will be useful. The process itself consists in creating a protective film for the hairline. It is good because for a long time the hair looks lively and shiny.In addition, after lamination, there will be no need to apply masks.

The average price for this procedure is 3-4 thousand rubles.

In this case, special serums with keratin, hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids and other important substances are applied. As a result, hair retains its color and becomes less brittle and shinier.

However, the result does not last long - after two months, the procedure will need to be repeated.

Botox can cost 1,500-3,000 rubles.

Shielding is essential for high volume and lasting gloss. A special agent is applied to the curls, which creates a protective film and protects against mechanical damage. It differs from lamination by a deeper effect and treatment.

Depending on the drugs used, the cost of shielding can vary from 3 to 10 thousand rubles.

At home, restoration will be somewhat more difficult, but much cheaper than in salons.

For such purposes, specialized tools are purchased, such as:

• Lecithin dietary supplements;
• natural wax for UV protection;
• vegetable oils based on coconut or olives;
• shampoos and balms;
• and other means.

If all of the above recipes suddenly turned out to be unavailable or too expensive, then your choice can be tipped in favor of folk remedies that can be easily made at home.
