Lamination is considered useful for girls with any type of hair, as it improves their condition and gives the curls a healthy look. The procedure requires only a special set, patience and some free time. As can be seen from the descriptions above, whatever tool is chosen, the actions with them are about the same. In addition to each attached detailed instructions for use, precautionary measures and the time during which you need to keep laminating compositions on the head.
But before using it is better to test for an allergic reaction to each component.
However, this process cannot be considered a complete healing of the strands' damage, since the effect, even the longest, is not permanent. If you want to keep the result longer, do not use additional cosmetics for hair.
