Hair shielding kits from Estel Professional
In order to qualitatively improve the condition of the hair, you can be offered a large number of different popular procedures. Many of them help to restore the appearance of even the most damaged hair in a very short time. Recently, a new procedure has been in great demand - shielding curls from Estel.
Consumer reviews say that shielding qualitatively improves the appearance of the hair, fills it with vitamins and nutrients. The strands become healthier in 1 session. The Estel set can be purchased both for the salon and for independent use at home.
Peculiarities
Shielding is called one of the most effective procedures that are suitable for quick recovery and high-quality treatment of damaged strands from the inside. It differs from other methods in that all the nutritional components present in the product penetrate into almost every damaged hair. This is true most often for blondes. As a result, a thin silicone film appears on the surface of the hairs - it returns a chic shine to dull strands, guarantees protection against the effects of various aggressive environments and, in addition, acts as a permanent thermal protection during the styling process.
Popular lamination, by the way, gives the head of hair only a protective film on the surface of the hair, but it cannot penetrate into their structure, nourish and heal the hair from the inside.
Many experienced craftsmen recommend using both procedures in order to get a more noticeable and lasting effect, since the shielding itself will last about 1-2 months on not very damaged strands and only 2 weeks on rather injured ones.
The procedure is more often offered to be carried out in the salon, but you can also do it at home. To do this, you just need to purchase a set from Estel Professional in a specialized market. This kind of procedure is ideal for blonde hair, as it is most often exposed to aggressive chemical attack and needs special care. The components of the kit will easily restore and provide nourishment to hair with any degree of damage. The complex includes:
- 100% natural oils that will improve the protection of the hair shafts;
- argan oil will make the strands as strong as possible and give them the necessary nutrients;
- macadamia will serve as a good protection against the negative effects of weather factors;
- grape seed oil will restore weakened strands;
- ceramides have a regenerative effect - with them, the care components will better penetrate the hair;
- soy protein, which is called a building block for damaged hair;
- amino acids - for amazing elasticity, great strength, luxurious shine.

It is included in the kit?

- Set for blonde and highlighted hair Q3 Blond. It has the same properties as the above-described composition, in addition, it also removes unwanted yellowness, which often bothers blondes, and allows you to equalize the pH level, which serves for high-quality growth of the strands.
Both kits include 3 products that are applied in strict order:
- two-phase air conditioner, which contains silicone and natural oils - they guarantee easy combing and no tangled strands;
- non-rinse oil with silicone fill in the injured strands and level the surface of the hair;
- spray oil to create a protective film on curls.
Instructions for use
During the procedure at home, you can choose any shampoo, because all screening products need to be applied only to clean hair.In the salons, you will most quickly be offered to choose Estel brand shampoo, its use is desirable, but not at all necessary. He will contribute to obtaining the best result from the technique carried out.
The formulations must be applied one after the other, taking a break for no more than 5 minutes, in a specific order.
- Wash your hair at home, dry it a little with a towel, not a hair dryer. Find the most damaged strands and apply number 1 to them.
- After 2-3 minutes, you need to apply Estel oil, before that slightly heating it in your palms. Particular attention should be paid to the most damaged strands.
- Once the oil is absorbed, you can apply # 3 to the strands and distribute it well using a sparse-toothed comb.
- After the end of the final stage, the strands are straightened with an iron in order to consolidate the effect and "solder" split hairs. It is worth noting that without "sealing" the entire care shielding procedure will lose its meaning. There is no need to fear that you will damage your strands, as the applied Estel compounds will give your hair all the protection it needs from the excessively hot ironing temperature thanks to the care substances.
- After completing the procedure, you will need to use the spray oil again, but in a reduced amount.
Sets from Estel will give your hair not only an extremely luxurious look, but also, in fact, fill its structure disturbed by improper care with the most valuable elements and vitamins.
It should be borne in mind that for the best result, the same procedure is best repeated 4-5 times in a month, so that the cumulative effect begins to take effect.
Usually, the bottles contain funds for another 3-4 procedures of use. Screening will not take you very long, from 30 to 45 minutes. After the care effect, your hair will become even, silky to the touch, the strands will be less injured, which will allow you to cut them much less often and help you grow the desired length. This procedure will not give you a too long-lasting effect, but nevertheless, the shielding will not evaporate from the surface of the hairs, as it happens in the case of lamination.
When the silicone film is washed off your strands, the components that filled the "killed" hair structure will remain in it, and therefore even very injured strands will continue to look much better.
The formulations for shielding will not contain aggressive substances, however, in some cases, this procedure is not recommended. If you have excessively weakened, severely burned out and completely dry strands, it is better to first try to use professional care products for the full treatment of hair, try using useful folk recipes, and after hair restoration, decide whether you will do popular screening or not.
Contraindications:
- individual intolerance to the elements of the composition;
- a large amount of sebum and skin disease;
- severe hair loss;
- the presence of abrasions and wounds on the scalp;
- a combination of elongated curls and completely weakened hair follicles.
Do not forget about the right care. Girls often take photographs before screening, immediately after it, and after a few days. Thanks to these pictures, you can immediately see that the procedure is indeed effective, since the hair actually becomes more manageable, smoothed, and gets a gorgeous shine. But after a couple of shampooing procedures, the situation can change significantly - nothing remains of the previous transformation.
To prevent this from happening to you, this kind of restoration must be carried out in separate courses, as stylists advise. And you also need to properly care for the strands. Experienced craftsmen advise:
- it is advisable to wash your hair only with shampoos that do not contain sulfates;
- after washing your hair, it is imperative to apply a balm and at least once every 5-6 days - masks;
- during the recovery course, you should not dye the curls with dyes with ammonia and you do not need to perm - this will nullify all your efforts.
Reviews
Reviews of the screening procedure can be found different: some women really like the resulting effect, others, on the contrary, complain that the luxurious shine and obedience disappear too quickly.
Many recommend doing the screening procedure for the first time in the salon, so that later they can repeat all the manipulations already when using the composition at home. At the same time, all users note that the effect of the salon procedure is completely identical to the home procedure - an amazing shine of the hair appears, the hair becomes softer and more obedient.
Shielding can be called an excellent substitute for expensive salon procedures. Sets from the Estel brand can be purchased in professional departments of cosmetic stores, they have detailed instructions and are ready to use, you will not need to mix anything yourself.
Each bottle has its own number so that you clearly know in which order to apply the funds.
