2. Blotting your hair with a towel can remove excess moisture from it.
3. Then they start special treatment of curls and strands with a special tool based on such a component as keratin, which is so useful for hair.
4. Smoothness is achieved due to the sufficient presence of protein in the hair structure - a special composition envelops each strand.
5. After treatment, the head must be dried with a hairdryer, while it is important not to rinse off the composition first.
6. Now you can start hot working to give your hair the desired effect. To do this, the hair is divided into strands, and each of them is processed with an iron (7-8 times in a row). At the same time, there is no need to worry about the condition of the hair, since it is already reliably protected by the protein sheath.
7. For convenience, the strands can be slightly moistened with warm water, after which you need to walk on them a couple of times with a strengthening mask. Rinse off after a minute.
8. At the final stage, it is enough to moisten the strands with a special leave-in composition.

With prolonged exposure to hair in order to straighten it for a long time, several nuances should be taken into account. Treatment of strands with special moisturizing and nourishing compositions is quite a useful activity that gives the hair the desired effect, makes it more flexible. Keratin is able not only to nourish the hairline, but also to change its structure, usually for the better. However, there are some concerns about the harm to hairstyles in the process of regular smoothing.

Here, the way the master resorts to when performing the procedure (or when self-smoothing) is of great importance. The greatest harm is possible when using more aggressive techniques. The danger can lie in the composition of the straightening agents. Do not forget about the risks leading to allergic reactions, damage to the scalp. There are compounds that have a detrimental effect on the hair structure as a whole.

If this is a heat treatment, then the hair will be constantly exposed to direct high temperatures. A measure is needed here so as not only not to damage the hairstyle, but also not to worsen the condition of the follicles. If you carelessly, you can burn the hair so that it will take a very long time to restore it (moreover, it will be difficult to achieve the initial effect). It is also important to remember that there is no universal method or way to straighten hair for a long time with minimal impact on it. It remains to choose the most suitable method for yourself.

There are several hair straightening options that you can use at home. Smoothing time depends on the type and length of the hair and how curly it is in nature. The process uses the most common tools:

• hairdryer;
• curling iron;
• masks;

Devices for smoothing are best suited for the home, they are convenient to use for self-styling.You can quickly learn how to create a long hairstyle with an iron. However, the choice of adaptation will be of paramount importance. You should not resort to models of cheap brands with metal plates. Better to choose - with a ceramic, tourmaline or other protective coating.

An electric comb will work instead of ironing. It is perfect for hassle-free styling: the brush is connected to the mains, the strands are combed consistently and do not electrify. The quality of the device will depend on the number of teeth, the frequency of their location. A special role is given to the quality of heating, and the processing time is also taken into account.

From folk remedies for smoothing and straightening, gelatin is worth mentioning. This is a natural collagen that envelops each strand and creates a protective film on it. Gelatin can be added to shampoos or balms - then the curls will become more pliable, smooth, obedient and shiny.

Among the professional straightening products, it is worth mentioning the bioprotein method of hair smoothing, the chemical method of influencing the structure, ceramic, collagen and molecular straightening methods.

Each method has supporters and opponents, since the individual tolerance of the components of the compositions, the ability to handle the tools, affects here. After chemical exposure, you may need to take a break. Many immediately decide to perform bio-straightening or combine it with folk remedies.

The straightening procedure cannot be attributed to some radical methods of influencing the entire hair structure. In the salons, all work is done carefully and accurately. At the same time, clients will be sure to advise proper care after the procedure. For example, it is advisable to wash your hair after four days after smoothing (this is especially true for chemical and thermal methods). Water can destroy all efforts, lead to an unexpected effect. It is better to use hairpins for hairstyles after three days, moreover, it is better to take plastic ones.
