Thermokeratin: what is it and how long does it last?

Every woman at any age takes care of the condition of her hair. Exposure to the environment, stress and other negative factors negatively affect the curls - they become thin, dry, brittle, split ends. In addition, the problem is aggravated by popular styling products - a hairdryer, curling iron, iron, curlers. Salon and home restorative procedures will help restore beauty and health to curls. Thermokeratin treatment continues to win love among women - let's take a closer look at it.

Classic keratinization is the application of a special composition to the strands, based on natural keratin. This substance penetrates into the deep layers of the hair, leaving a significant part on its surface. The result is a special protective film with a slight sheen. To enhance the activation of the substances that make up the drug, the hair is treated with a hot iron before starting the procedure - high temperature has a positive effect on the absorption of keratin. Therefore, even during treatment, thermal effects cannot be avoided. Unlike thermokeratin reduction, which does not require additional heating devices.

The reason is in the unique composition. The substance combines with a special thermal activator, as a result, the necessary heat is formed, due to this, deep penetration and rapid assimilation of useful elements occurs.

According to professional hairdressers, thermokeratin is suitable for:

• straightening curly / curly strands;
• restoration of damaged hair after frequent heat exposure, as well as coloring, washing off the coloring pigment;
• the return of shine and radiance;
• getting rid of brittleness, dullness, split ends.

Women note that after the restoration procedure, the hair becomes soft to the touch, a beautiful shine appears, especially in sunny weather. By the way, in this way you can prolong the effect of staining - the color remains saturated and uniform. Hot keratin treatment shows good results both in the salon and at home.

The work of the masters in the salon includes several stages:

• washing the scalp, hair with a deeply cleansing shampoo (it has a strong effect - it removes sebum, dirt, and makeup residues);
• application of the drug;
• washing with a special keratin shampoo;
• drying, styling.

Keratin is essentially a naturally occurring protein that has a beneficial effect on the scalp - especially the hair structure. Already after the first session of the recovery procedure, women notice a positive effect. So, it is worth highlighting the main advantages of hot keratin:

• decrease in electrification, fluffiness;
• fixation, preservation of color after different types of staining;
• deep nutrition, hydration;
• harmless straightening;
• restoration of the structure of damaged hair due to abuse of a hairdryer, curling iron, iron;
• good thermal protection (especially in summer - with strong exposure to UV rays);
• soldering split ends;
• smoothing of scales;
• cumulative effect (preserves the necessary supply of vitamins);
• improving the appearance of curls;
• safe conduct at home;
• in comparison with classic keratin, the cost is much lower.

There are few disadvantages - the following stand out:

• the fat content of the roots increases - as a result of which the hair becomes dirty quickly (with the oily type, the problem can only get worse);
• the action of the drug makes the curls heavier - there is frequent loss (with alopecia and other similar problems, the procedure is contraindicated);
• the risk of an allergic reaction to the constituent components - especially to formaldehyde.

He offers a safe home recovery procedure at an affordable price. In addition, the drugs are absolutely harmless, so you shouldn't worry about “unpredictable results” or “damaged curls”.

Estel's thermokeratin complex includes 3 main components.

• Keratin mask (300 ml) - provides resuscitation to each hair from the inside, gives additional nutrition, saturation with useful substances.
• Thermoactivator (200 ml) - generates the necessary amount of heat for enhanced protein action.
• Keratin water (100 ml) - is the so-called fixer. Promotes the preservation and accumulation of valuable elements.

Before using the Estelle recovery complex at home, be sure to read the instructions that came with the product box. Since the liquids in the bottles are powerful, it will not be superfluous to check your cosmetics for an allergic reaction.

Step by step description of using Estel Thermokeratin at home.

• First of all, it is necessary to cleanse the scalp and hair with a special keratin shampoo of the same brand, rinse with warm water.
• Step back from the roots 1-2 cm, apply the mask (300 ml), lightly massaging the head. It is enough to hold for about 10 minutes. The mask does not require rinsing.
• Use a thermal activator (200 ml) on top of the applied composition for 1 minute.
• Then both components are washed off with warm water. Experts recommend carrying out such a manipulation 2-3 times, after which you may feel some kind of film on the strands - this is normal.
• At the end, keratin water (100 ml) is sprayed without rinsing.

The duration of the effect after the application of Estel hot keratin is about 4 weeks. The result depends not only on the type and condition of the curls, but also on the subsequent care. In addition, work done incorrectly can lead to bad consequences.

Follow-up care is an important step in maintaining the effect of a salon or home recovery procedure. A common mistake - some women continue to use shampoos / balms for daily washing, however, such products can wash out all the protein, as well as destroy the protective film on the surface of the strands. That is why it is important to use special products that contain valuable protein.

Professional masters advise paying attention to shampoos without sulfates and parabens. The assortment of companies often includes a line for care after treatment with thermokeratin. By the way, shampoos are sold in large quantities, so they are consumed slowly.

Reviews for the salon procedure, as well as a set for thermokeratin recovery Estel Thermokeratin very diverse. Most women notice the amazing effect after the first session. So, before the procedure, the salon workers conduct a consultation, where the initial condition and type of hair are determined. An important factor is the type of staining or other thermal manipulations. The higher the degree of damage to the strands, the more keratin services will be needed.

Other clients complain of increased hair loss and oily roots. Similar results, according to hairdressers, are associated with an incorrectly designated type or initial condition of the strands - this service is contraindicated for those suffering from seborrhea, alopecia, increased fat content. As for the home use of the complex, the girls observe very good results - the main thing is to strictly follow the instructions for use, as well as develop follow-up care in advance.
