Modern industry offers a variety of restorative techniques for damaged hair. One of them is molecular reduction. We will tell you more about what it is, and also consider the technique of this procedure.
The essence of the technique
This method involves the restoration of damaged hair structure at the molecular level through the use of a special substance - keratin. This structural protein is the basis of the formation of the hair shaft. Unfortunately, various impacts can cause damage to this component: temperature drops, frequent staining, chemical perm and many other factors.
Due to the deep penetration of keratin, which is in special preparations used for the procedure of molecular hair restoration, its external properties change inside the hair shaft.
This effect contributes to the fact that the scales that are in the balance, smoothed. Outwardly, this is manifested by the fact that the hair looks smoother and shinier.
Benefits
Molecular recovery is a procedure that allows you to achieve a truly decent result. Already, as a rule, after a single application of this method improves the appearance of the hair. The use of cosmetic products intended for molecular recovery promotes deep moisturizing of hairs.
Amino acids in keratin have a complex effect on the structure of the hair shaft. Saturation of hair with these components contributes to the fact that curls grow faster. The tips at the same time look more well-groomed and break off much less frequently.
Another advantage of this procedure is that It can be carried out both in the beauty salon and at home. Cosmetic products for molecular recovery can, if desired, be purchased in stores of professional hair care products.

However, in order to maintain the achieved result after molecular hair restoration longer, experts on caring for curls recommend the use of special products.
For example, a shampoo that does not contain aggressive chemical components that promote the rapid "washing out" of keratin from the hair shaft is suitable for washing hair.
How is the procedure?
To carry out this method of hair restoration will need iron. It is better to choose a device that has the option of changing the temperature. This procedure requires that the iron can be warmed up. up to 180 degrees. It is in this temperature regime that keratin and other components contained in products for molecular reduction can penetrate well inside the hair shaft.
The treatment begins with shampooing using a special shampoo. Hair care specialists recommend that before starting to wash your hair, you should comb your curls well. This will make it easier for all components to penetrate inside.
After the hair has been washed, an agent for molecular restoration is applied to them with a special brush. Apply it should be strand by strand. You can start applying with any head area (as it will be convenient). Apply the product with keratin should be evenly, so that he could penetrate the entire length of the hair shaft.
Once on the hair will be a means for molecular recovery, strands need to “stretch” with the help of an iron. And each strand, in order for all the components to penetrate the hair, is processed 4-5 times. This "fixing" contributes to the fact that the keratin from the tool begins to fill the inner space of the hair shaft, contributing to a change in its physical properties.
After the hair has been treated in this way, it should be left for a few minutes. During this time, the curls are completely cooled, and all the components contained in the products for molecular recovery, penetrate the hairs. Next, the hair is washed and stacked.

Aftercare
After the restoration, the curls look very beautiful. In order to keep keratin inside the hair shaft longer, you need proper care. So, for washing hair, it is recommended to use shampoos that do not contain sulfate additives.
