Biolamination of hair: what is the means, the essence of the method
Hair biolamination is a procedure aimed at restoring and revitalizing curls. It can be performed in the cabin or at home using specialized tools. Consider the features of the procedure, indications and care after it.
What it is?
Biolamination is a technique with which it is possible to visually change the structure of the hair, make it smoother and shinier. In fact, this procedure is similar to conventional lamination. The difference lies in the means used. All the usual lamination is done using compounds that mostly contain synthetic components. Bioprocedure involves the use of funds on a natural basis. They contain cellulose, vitamins and trace elements that actively nourish the hair shaft.
Due to biolamination, a strong film is formed on the surface of the hair. It contributes to the "soldering" of exfoliated scales. In addition, the cellulose casing reliably protects the curls from mechanical and thermal damage, as well as other negative effects. The film visually makes hair thicker and stronger.
Biolamination is of two types - colorless and color. The first is used only for restoration purposes. In color, coloring agents are used to change the original color to several tones.
It is worth considering that with the help of this procedure it will not be possible to turn from a blonde into a brown-haired, red-haired or brunette. In the composition of coloring agents there are no aggressive chemical components that can dramatically change the color of the curls.
Who is suitable?
Beautiful and healthy hair is extremely rarely a gift of nature. Often, for their luxurious views are the daily proper care, balanced nutrition, good sleep. If one of these factors is missing, the risk of strand deterioration is high.
In addition, women often like to carry out various experiments on their hair to change their image. These can be dyeing, perm, use of ploek, ironing, hair dryer for styling. All this has a negative impact on the health of the strands. In time, they begin:
- thin out;
- break and split at the tips;
- fall out;
- electrify or push.
Biolamination is suitable for anyone who has encountered these problems. It can be used both to restore and to prevent problems with curls with their frequent coloring, highlighting, blow-drying, straightening irons.
Advantages and disadvantages
Biolamination of hair is gaining popularity every day. He is preferred by both young girls and women of age.
Benefits
There are several main advantages that drive the demand for this cosmetic procedure.
- Visual transformation of the strands. After the first procedure, the result will be noticeable - the hair will become smooth, elastic, acquire a healthy shine and radiance. They will stop electrifying. If brittle strands are cut at the ends, the compositions used for biolamination will glue them and eliminate roughness on the injured curls.
- Long preservation of color of the painted locks. Over time, when washing the head, the coloring pigments are washed away from the hair, which makes them dull. The shell formed after biolamination, can prevent premature "washing" of color.
- Protection of the hair shaft from the effects of various adverse factors (for example, excessively low or high temperatures). The protection is provided by the film formed on each hair.
- Safety procedure. Her conduct is allowed during pregnancy and lactation. The fact is that in the compositions used there are no chemically aggressive components and formaldehyde, which are often found in the means for lamination. As a result, the risk of harming yourself or your child is minimized. Exceptions are only in the case of individual intolerance of one or several components.
- Simple execution technology. Biolamination is recommended in beauty salons. However, if you want to save it you can do at home. Subject to the rules and the algorithm of the effect will be no worse than the salon.
The result of biolamination is docile, straight, shiny and voluminous hair. Many hairdressers and beauty salons every day get a good income on such a procedure. However, some professional masters do not take responsibility and refuse biolamination service, explaining it to the shortcomings of the technique.
Minuses
It is worth saying that biolamination is not suitable for all hair. It is not recommended to do in those situations when the hair follicle is too weak. Cellulose film creates stress on curls. Due to the extra weight hair can fall out with more intensity. Therefore, it makes sense to abandon the procedure, if the strands are thinned and weakened.
Another disadvantage is considered temporary effect. As already mentioned, a protective sheath is formed on the surface of the hair, it prevents the penetration of air oxygen to the hair shaft and interferes with its natural “breathing”. As a result, under the film of hair begins to gradually deteriorate. When washing the head, the casing is partially washed off with peeling scales, which causes excessive fragility of the hair. Often women complain that before the procedure their curls looked even more healthy.
You should not discount these consequences and resort to biolamination too often.
The disadvantages include expensive cost, especially if the procedure is performed salon salon. Even if you do biolamination at home alone, you have to spend money on professional tools that are expensive.
To save money, you can resort to recipes with henna, gelatin or other natural ingredients. However, such natural remedies will not be able to give the desired result the first time. In this case, the effect will be cumulative, because of which it will be possible to notice the changes only after 3-4 procedures.

The effect after the procedure is wonderful. Hair becomes more voluminous, straight and obedient, get shine. Unfortunately, the result is not very durable. When washing the head, the protective shell is washed off, and with it the brilliance and volume disappear. With the thinning of the film, the hair will once again start to push, break and become thinner.

Problems with the entanglement of thin strands and the difficulty of combing after washing disappear.
