How to restore hair after chemistry?

In today's world with a high pace of life, many working women want to keep their hair and curls as long as possible. And for this, sometimes you have to resort to radical measures, such as chemical perm. It is necessary to recognize that this method adversely affects the condition of the hair and requires restoration, more careful and thorough care of them in the future. Fortunately, at the present time there are many tools, both professional and folk, to preserve the health and beauty of hair.

First, consider the essence of perm, what happens to the hair during this procedure.

Normal healthy hair is covered with dense keratin scales. Keratin is a protein consisting of various amino acids, and the main one is cysteine, which is the main link. To create curls, hair is treated with special chemicals that destroy this amino acid, and the hair is more easily deformed. The degree of destruction may be different.

An experienced hairdresser will never do chemistry if the client has weak hair. Even healthy strands experience significant damage. In any case, after the chemistry, the hair needs more careful care, and sometimes with an unsuccessful procedure and full restoration.

The basic rules for the restoration of healthy hair:

• protect the hair from drying out and hypothermia, that is, it is undesirable to use a hairdryer, to walk in hot or cold weather without a hat;
• Do not expose the hair to additional chemical and physical impacts - do not bathe in salty sea water or in chlorinated water in the pool, comb with a comfortable comb, pre-lubricate it beforehand, soften hair, do not do complex hairstyles using lacquers, do not use metal clips and hairpins, preferably paint during this period;
• use special professional or folk remedies to soften, nourish and moisturize the strands (shampoos, balms, masks, herbal decoctions);
• eat right, so that the diet contains foods that contain quite a lot of amino acids to restore keratin, as well as enough vitamins.

Restoration and strengthening of hair must begin with moisturizing and nutrition. For this there is a mass of professional and folk remedies and methods. This can be done both in the cabin and at home. You just need patience and perseverance. Not the last role in this is played by the diet and the general condition of the body.

At present, hundreds of manufacturers of cosmetics and medical cosmetics can provide whole product lines: shampoos, balms, sprays, serums, oils, conditioners, hair masks, conditioners.

There are mass products that are offered to consumers in every store, the so-called mass market. And there is a professional and medical cosmetics, which is sold in pharmacies and specialty stores. Such cosmetic products have healing properties, as they contain medicinal ingredients (keratin, betaine, panthenol), as well as natural ingredients (plant extracts, oils).

Products of such companies as Vichy, Kerastase, Collistar, are sold in pharmacies. These well-known time-tested manufacturers make medical cosmetics according to experimental recipes, with the strictest observance of technology and safety.

As well as excellent cosmetic professional products produced by Estel, Wella, L »Oréal and others.

For example, an Estel Curex Therapy mask containing proteins and collagen is an excellent regenerating agent. Many manufacturers, for example, the company L »Oréal, produce a whole line of products for hair regeneration after a chemical perm. This includes shampoo, conditioner, moisturizer and nourishing oil. In general, to achieve a good result in the treatment, it is recommended to use the entire cosmetic line of one manufacturer as a whole.

On the packaging it is usually prescribed for what purpose the cosmetic product is intended. In case of unsuccessful chemistry means is chosen for damaged and dry hair. And also pay attention to the composition of the product. A modern manufacturer who respects himself will surely indicate what components this cosmetic product is made of.

Shampoos are selected according to their personal feelings, it happens that even the most ordinary shampoo from an ordinary store fits better than expensive counterparts. And they are recommended to change from time to time.

Balms are used to soften and moisturize. For sensitive scalp, only balsams can be used instead of shampoos. Serums and conditioners are mostly not washable with water. Hair after all procedures is dried in a natural way, without a hair dryer. Masks and oils should be applied before shampooing every 2-3 days until the hair becomes healthy.

Many women prefer affordable and inexpensive, but no less effective ways to care for their hair - these are folk recipes of masks and herbal decoctions. Sometimes they turn out to be even more effective than all these expensive cosmetics. For this, natural products and various herbs are used.

Folk healers have long known the healing properties of many plants and herbs, and their experience was passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, you can be sure that herbal teas and natural vegetable oils will not cause harm to health.

First of all, you can advise a variety of oils: burdock, olive, coconut, sesame, flaxseed. Before using the oil, heat it up a little, rub the scalp and the whole length of the hair, collect the hair, cover it with plastic wrap and wrap it with a towel. Hold for 20-30 minutes, then rinse with shampoo.

Masks at home can be prepared in the literal sense of all that is at hand. This includes dairy products (kefir, sour cream, whey), rye bread, honey, lemon, eggs, and mayonnaise. Even products such as onions, garlic, hot peppers, and mustard are used, as they increase blood flow. Squeeze juice from onions, lubricate the scalp. Pepper, mustard can be added to the mask. Only such masks should be done with caution and not kept for a very long time, so as not to get scalp irritation.

With the help of medicinal decoctions of herbs you can prepare rinses. But you need to remember that plants dye their hair, for example, chamomile decoction, calendula is used only for blond hair, onion peel, sage, burdock root give a red tint, and nettle, calamus, rosemary are better for chestnut and dark hair.

Brewed black and green tea also has a beneficial effect on the hair and scalp.Brewing enough to rinse your head every time after shampooing.

At home, you can even carry out the procedure of lamination, almost like in the salons. To do this, 1 bag of gelatin is diluted in 3 tablespoons of boiled water at room temperature, allowed to brew, then add a tablespoon of balm and put on clean damp hair, wrap the head with a towel and incubate for an hour. Then you need to rinse your hair and dry without a hairdryer. This mask has no therapeutic effect, but strengthens weak brittle hair, gives them a healthy look.
