• allergic reaction to the composition;
• thin long curls;
• diseases of the skin of the head;
• recent illness.

Lamination is a suitable service for absolutely all hair types.

You can also carry out at least high-quality lamination yourself - each Estel kit has detailed instructions for use and important recommendations for obtaining the desired result.

Home lamination includes 4 basic steps that should be performed necessarily step by step.

• The first step is to clean the hair and scalp with a special shampoo (the component in the kit is marked with the number “1”). It should be applied to wet hair, lather thoroughly, after - rinse with water. For best results, experts recommend doing this procedure several times. So your curls will be perfectly clean. Allowed drying only by natural means - without any heating devices.
• 3-D gel is indicated by the number "2". To begin, comb your hair, divide them into 4 parts, fixing with hairpins. Using a brush, apply the composition first on the lower strands (do not forget to retreat about 2 cm from the roots). Hands spread the mixture over the entire head. Now you need to collect the treated hair in a bun and put on a plastic cap. After that, you can start drying with a hair dryer (duration - 20 minutes). Upon completion, rinse the treated surface of the head with warm water, dip it with a towel.
• The next step is to apply a special indelible lotion. Be sure to shake the bottle before use! Spray gently over the entire length of the curls.
• Serum remains at last. Keep in mind: if you have damaged hair - wet them, if not - apply the composition only on dry tips. Thanks to this serum, the same radiance and softness will appear.

The producers of the Russian company Estel promise a rather long-lasting effect - up to 2 months. However, you should take care of the subsequent care, which greatly affects the preservation of the result.

Masters recommend to follow a few rules for the care of hair after lamination:

• try not to wash your hair for 2 days after the service: this time is necessary for full activation and fixing of the film;
• It is forbidden to use styling products such as a hair dryer, a rectifier, a curling iron, etc .;
• better to buy a professional line of products from Estel, designed for the care of laminated hair;
• Be sure to use a protective balm from UV rays;
• It is forbidden to scrub / peel the scalp.

Judging by the reviews of clients, Estel's home lamination has a number of pros and cons.

Advantages:

• smoothness, softness, shine;
• split ends;
• strands cease to push;
• easy combing;
• strands are better placed;
• absolutely safe composition;
• ease of use at home;
• protective barrier against the harmful effects of the environment;
• prolongs the "life" of dyed hair.

Disadvantages:

• poor quality result (in case of non-compliance with all the rules);
• short effect;
• the high cost of the work of specialists;
• subsequent special type of care;
• increase the fat content of the strands and roots.

First of all, women point out that it is much easier to do lamination at home than to turn to professional hairdressers. Of course, the main advantage of the Estel iNeo-Crystal complex is its price: it is significantly lower than the salon.

In addition to the cost, customers noted the regenerative effect of damaged strands, the appearance of an unusual shine, especially under sunlight, and an improvement in the external state as a whole. Many in such an unusual way got rid of excessive section, electrification, fluffiness.

In addition, women are satisfied with the volume of bottles with the drug, which, by the way, is enough for 3 procedures (with an average length of hair), and this is a good saving of money and time. Nevertheless, some complain about the almost zero result after applying a professional Estel lamination line. The main reason is improper adherence to recommendations for working with the composition, failure to comply with the temperature regime, ignorance of the type and structure of your own hair.

An important factor is the subsequent care, which is largely neglected by the fair sex: they continue to use the usual shampoo for daily washing of the head, and sometimes they are not deterred from using styling devices. Remember: only with the help of special tools you will be able to save the very laminating film that gives shine and protection to your curls.
