The extension allows you to quickly achieve not only the desired volume, but also the length of the hair, so it enjoys such popularity. Despite the large number of benefits from the procedure, it adversely affects the overall condition of the hair, so subsequent recovery is required.
Why does hair suffer?
Damage, which is a consequence of extension, that is, mechanical and chemical effects, is the cause of the violation of the structural integrity of the hair. As a result, cut ends appear, hair looks untidy, it is difficult to give shape.
Hair needs a solid foundation, a building block called protein keratin. Bleaches and solutions, temperature and mechanical effects damage them, destroying the bonds between amino acids in the keratin structure. If the procedure is performed on a regular basis, such damage is an unintended side effect.
The cuticle is a window into the deeper structure of the bark that holds moisture where it is needed to protect it from the negative influence of the environment. When it is damaged, our curls quickly lose moisture and become porous.
Damage to the cuticle can also cause the hair to be dry and coarse, cut to the ends. The cuticle can not be replaced, but you can easily cope with a similar condition, if properly care for your hair. Protection can be provided through the use of high-quality whey. A good smoothing agent will cover the hair shaft, trapping moisture and fixing it where necessary.
