The scope of hairdressing services is regularly updated with various new techniques and techniques for working with hair. Today, professional masters can offer customers beauty salons new-fashioned haircut by fire, which causes a lot of ambiguous opinions about their specificity and benefits for the hair.

In the light of the rapid introduction of new methods of working with hair is quite difficult to keep track of the emergence of ultra-modern hairdressing services related to the creation of haircuts. Today, in the arsenal of beauty industry professionals present haircut by fire. Despite the rather frightening name, such a technique does not pose a threat to humans. In addition, the manipulation of curls with the help of fire are rooted in antiquity, when the existence of scissors was not even a question.

Today, a significantly upgraded fire service has become quite popular throughout Europe. Gradually, this trend began to spread in the post-Soviet space. The appearance of such a technique in the field of hairdressing services is due to the Russian hair stylist Olga Kurbanova, who suggested cutting this option, focusing on improving the hair shafts, specifically the tips, as well as giving the hairstyle attractiveness.

According to experts, this version of the haircut allows not only to give the external attractiveness to the hair shafts, but also to improve them. The principle of working with open fire involves a certain step-by-step work algorithm, during which the hairdresser will use a specially selected set of tools. These compounds have a restorative effect on the curls, due to its natural composition.

A special feature of trimming is the preliminary treatment of hair with a special shampoo on a natural basis. This process is carried out as thoroughly as possible, since the main task of the master in this case is the uniform processing of all hair rods, so that the unused hairs do not become distorted by their appearance from the total mass in the future.

The next tool that is necessarily treated hair before cutting with fire, will be air conditioning. In some salons, instead of this composition, with locks work with the help of ampoules with certain nutrients. The choice of a product is carried out individually for each client or client.

At the final stage with special preparatory preparations for hair, the treatment of hair rods will be carried out with the help of a special spray. In its composition there is a protein and an extract from wheat, which together provide additional nourishment to the curls, and also play the role of a protective layer during the subsequent contact of the hair with fire.

With fire master works as carefully as possible, which eliminates the ignition of the strands. During the shearing, the strands come into contact with fire, but their length remains unchanged.At the end of the trimming, you can observe the result of the sealed tips, which over the next few days will need careful care. If there is a desire to change the length or shape of the haircut, it is necessary to tell the hairdresser about this in advance. Working with hair rods is done in a normal salon chair in front of a mirror. The master will work from behind using a cotton swab dipped in alcohol with a clip and a rubber brush without using any instruments or devices.

Work with fire is carried out progressively, the master selects from the total mass one by one strand, pulls it away, separating the hair from the rest, checks its moisture. And only after that it holds in the horizontal direction next to it with a burning tampon, avoiding contact with the hair rods in the process.

The burning of one tampon lasts no more than 2-3 minutes, so about 6-7 products will be required for medium-length hair. The procedure itself takes about a quarter of an hour, but the time is largely dependent on the skill of the barber, the length and density of the hair. But on this manipulation of the hair does not end. After all the curls are processed, the entire length must be applied a special composition, which should be dried naturally with a towel.

This remedy is necessary in order to remove faded flakes from the tips of the hair shafts.which can adversely affect the appearance of the hairstyle. Then, at the request of the client, the wizard performs the styling, thus completing the image created.

Despite the fact that this service in beauty salons is held not so long ago, today it is already possible to highlight its positive and negative sides. The advantages of cutting with fire should include some positive results after the procedure.

• This effect on the hair allows you to get rid for some time of split ends. After the procedure, the hair shafts will lie one to one, without getting out of the common lines and borders of the existing haircut.
• As a result, the hairstyle acquires additional volume and grooming. Hair becomes much thicker.
• The appearance of the hair will be more well-groomed.
• Hair becomes shiny, in addition, the formulations used suggest some improvement in the hair shafts.
• Curls electrify much less, which is especially important in the winter.

However, new-fangled hairdressing service is not without some minuses.

• First of all, it concerns the temporary effect on the hair, so cutting with fire to maintain an attractive look will need to be carried out with a certain frequency. As a rule, one trip to the salon every 2-3 months will be enough. Otherwise, the split ends will appear on the hair again.
• Fire haircut stands out for its high cost.
• The result of the procedure will largely depend on the skill and professionalism of the master. The absence of any result after the work of the hairdresser will indicate that he made gross mistakes in the process of treating the hair or used low-quality care products.

Today, a haircut by fire is classified into two types of procedures for healing hair, which will involve fire.

The first type of work, called pyrophoresis, involves sealing the ends of the hair shafts, which were previously fed with various vitamins and proteins contained in the formulations used.Before this procedure is recommended to make a haircut and perform staining if necessary. The algorithm works with the hair during pyrophoresis involves pre-washing the head with a massage. After that, the curls are treated with a special serum. Over time, the product is washed off the hair, and, instead, the strands are treated with a special compound for subsequent safe work with fire. As a rule, it is this product that feeds hair rods with natural substances.

After completing work with the compositions, the master moistens the tampon with alcohol and sets it on fire. Further, with the help of a clip or long scissors, the barber will alternately work out each strand from the top of the head, moving to the ends. Perform pyrophoresis can be no more than once every three months, and immediately after the procedure to refrain from washing the head for 4 days.

This technique also provides for working with fire, but unlike the first version, the master performs hair processing a little differently. In this case, the hair is divided into strands, which are twisted into small bundles of small thickness, under which the master will carry out the flame from a candle. The result of this procedure is the burning of protruding cut ends, due to which the haircut and hair in general become smoother and shiny. And also the difference between pyrophoresis and velotherapy is the use of nutrient and regenerating compounds in the second case only after finishing work with fire.

There are certain recommendations for cutting with fire:

• the procedure will be useful for dull hair lacking volume;
• fire exposure is indicated when there are a large number of split hair rods;
• achieve an attractive appearance on thinned hair;
• to restore the hair structure by cutting with fire will be obtained after chemistry or dyeing and bleaching of curls;
• haircut for hair that is frequently styled with hair dryers, irons and curls will be useful.

There are a number of helpful tips. allowing to extend the effect of haircuts.

• After going to the salon, it is necessary to refrain from washing the head for 3-4 days in order to consolidate the obtained effect of adhesion of the hair shaft structure.
• Immediately after cutting with fire, it is better to refrain from dyeing hair. It would be better to do this before the recovery procedure.
• Drying hair should be carried out naturally to the maximum. If this is not possible, then the dryer should be used in the mode of blowing cold air.
• It will be useful to perform a regular massage of the head, as well as to do weekly nourishing and regenerating masks.
• Drink plenty of clean water so that the hair shafts are saturated with moisture in proper volume.

Haircut by fire has rather contradictory responses from clients of beauty salons. In most cases, the girls have a positive effect, which manifests itself in the form of smooth and docile hair with no split ends.

The disadvantages of the procedure for the girls include the short-term result of cutting with fire, which can end immediately after the first head mass at home. Of course, the compositions used before pyrophoresis and velotherapy have a positive and strengthening effect on the hair shafts, and the process of getting rid of dead and split scales will only benefit the hair.
