Most girls strive to improve their visual appearance by regularly visiting cosmetology centers or performing restorative procedures at home. The problem with a figure, the grace of which is hidden behind extra pounds, is not inferior to another pressing dilemma - over time, the hair structure invariably deteriorates. Throughout their lives, women carry out an incredible amount of manipulation with their curls - perms and dyeing, extensions of artificial strands and irradiation with ultraviolet waves. It is not surprising that such procedures do not go unnoticed - the hair begins to fluff and become brittle, the ends of the curls split, and the growth of strands slows down significantly. The only rational solution in this situation is to restore damaged bulbs and cuticles.

Asking a pressing question, some girls find the cherished answer in lamination - a short-term but effective procedure that allows you to improve the condition of your native curls. A practically proven advantage of such a service is the long-term preservation of the brightness, shine and saturation of colored strands. It is important to note that natural hair becomes more manageable, making it easier for a girl to style her curls and create the desired hairstyle. After such manipulation, the strands are not electrified, becoming much thicker and more voluminous.

Lamination is designed for a period of 7 to 30 days, providing hair protection from mechanical damage and eliminating the risk of negative effects on curls from atmospheric phenomena. Styled curls retain their shape much longer at high levels of humidity, wind and sub-zero temperatures - this is a powerful argument for every representative of the fair sex.

Indications and contraindications for hair lamination

Having thought about the need for a procedure, you should first familiarize yourself with the structural composition of the components included in restorative shampoos and decide on the type of manipulation to improve curls. In the 21st century, hairdressers can offer clients the following services - biolamination and phytolamination, the classic method and glazing of strands, glossing and eluminating curls. It is important to take into account that the preparations used to restore hair texture are rich in biologically active substances and do not contain oxidizing agents or other “aggressive” elements. The following factors are considered common indications for lamination:

split ends and frizzy strands;
thin, brittle and dry curls;
hair treatment, which involves applying restorative preparations to the texture of the strand (lamination does not allow the medicinal substances to be washed off and evaporated before the allotted time);
early protection of hair before traveling to other climatic conditions;
prolongation of the effect after dyeing, perming or bleaching curls.

However, recovery is not possible in all cases. Professional hairdressers identify a whole range of contraindications that prohibit girls from carrying out the lamination procedure in a beauty salon or at home:

the woman has skin diseases;
the girl has long and thin hair, which after lamination will acquire additional weight (the bulbs will not be able to hold heavy curls);
damage and open wounds on the skin of the head;
observation of problems with regular and profuse hair loss.

Hairdressers' contraindications should not be ignored so as not to deteriorate the quality of your natural hair. Some restorative procedures can exclusively harm the owner of damaged curls, having only a negative effect. Even at home, it is recommended to apply after consultation with a specialist who is able to correctly diagnose the structure of the cuticle, corrosion of the bulbs and assess the actual condition of the strands.

Features of caring for curls after lamination

The main feature of lamination is the proper care of restored hair. If you neglect the advice of professionals, the result becomes minimal. In some cases, instead of a positive effect, a girl will be able to observe an exclusively negative effect of the procedure on the structure of her curls. Useful recommendations from hairdressers:

do not wash your hair after lamination for 1–2 days;
avoid creating hairstyles using irons, curling irons and other equipment operating at high temperatures (for 24 hours);
choose “harmless” hair washing products that have a low concentration of alkalis in their structural composition;
use restorative preparations with ultraviolet filtration of components;
Massage your scalp with olive oil extract several times over 7 days;
forget for a while about health applications for hair, which will not have a positive effect due to the protective layer of the laminate;
choose cosmetics for damaged and colored curls;

use laminated hair care products of the same brand as the product with which you carried out a similar procedure;
do not use scrubs and peels on the scalp;
Avoid medications that contain alcohol;
do not dry your hair too aggressively, prefer to gently pat your curls after washing your hair;
comb your strands using accessories made from natural materials;
systematically massage the skin of the head;
It is recommended to dry your hair with a hair dryer, keeping a distance of at least 30 cm from the head;
do not color your curls before washing off the laminating composition;
It is recommended to create hairstyles using an iron or curling iron, observing a temperature regime of 120oC;
do not overdry the strands;
a second course is possible only a month after completion of the previous procedure.

Hair lamination is an effective way to improve the condition of your curls for a short period of time, restoring their shine and volume. However, it is important to first familiarize yourself with the complex of indications and contraindications by consulting a professional. If the hairdresser approves of such a procedure, then properly care for your curls by reading the recommendations above.

It is worth noting that the choice of cosmetic products and restorative preparations for lamination should be made together with the master who will carry out the specialized hair improvement procedure. Only a professional can competently assess the structural composition of balms and shampoos and recommend the optimal products.

Most salons encourage clients to do the Lamination of Curls procedure, but caring for laminated hair at home is often not commented on in any way, but it has its own characteristics.

What is hair lamination?

So what is lamination? This is a procedure as a result of which each hair is sealed in a thin, breathable microfilm to prevent damage, make it thicker, denser, and most importantly, to retain all the nutrients from restoration procedures inside this film. In other words, laminate, that is, a preparation applied to the surface of the cuticle during the lamination procedure, creates a kind of incubator on the surface of the cuticle, which allows you to comfortably recover without coming into contact with external aggressors, but at the same time receive useful nutrients from the outside (like a filter).

Many types of these procedures have been created, each brand provides its own schemes and recipes. But the main thing to remember is that lamination and coloring services (glazing, color baths and other procedures related to pigments) are technically DIFFERENT services.

Important advice from the editors!

If you want to improve the condition of your hair, you should pay special attention to the shampoos you use. A frightening figure - 97% of shampoos from well-known brands contain substances that poison our body. The main components due to which all the troubles on the labels are designated as sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, coco sulfate. These chemicals destroy the structure of the curls, the hair becomes brittle, loses elasticity and strength, and the color fades. But the worst thing is that this nasty stuff gets into the liver, heart, lungs, accumulates in organs and can cause cancer. We advise you not to use products that contain these substances. Recently, experts from our editorial team conducted an analysis of sulfate-free shampoos, where products from Mulsan Cosmetic took first place. The only manufacturer of completely natural cosmetics. All products are manufactured under strict quality control and certification systems. We recommend visiting the official online store mulsan.ru. If you doubt the naturalness of your cosmetics, check the expiration date; it should not exceed one year of storage.

There are several differences:

• firstly, the coloring procedure starts only after mixing the dye and hydrogen peroxide (oxidizing agent, oxygenant and many other names); lamination does not need such a start, because the drug is a product already ready for application,
• secondly, coloring is a process based on chemical laws, where penetration into the structure to different depths is mandatory, while lamination is based on physical laws and there is no need for it to penetrate into depth, because laminate works on the surface

TYPES OF HAIR LAMINATION

There are many names for lamination procedures, and there are also recommendations for care after the procedure. Let's take it in order.

What types of lamination are there:

1. Colored and colorless. Lamination is often used not only as a restoration, but also to create or emphasize the color, beauty of the canvas, shine, gloss. In the case of color lamination, a small amount of pigment is introduced into the composition, so a light shade is obtained
2. Various brands. Depending on the brand that produces the product, the name of the procedures may change - elumination, phytolamination, cementing, bio-lamination, glazing, shielding and others.
3. Hot and cold lamination. Rarely, but still there are hot lamination procedures, where each step must be thermally supported. Here we just need to make a reservation - a thermal mask and lamination are NOT the same thing. When heated, the mask goes deeper and more completely into the structure, without remaining on the surface, so the cuticle scales must be additionally covered with balm. The laminate, when exposed to heat, creates greater surface tension and thus covers the shaft over the cuticle, filling the voids. The mask is an independent product, and the laminate is always applied after care or deep restoration of the structure

Here, for example, is a video telling about the difference between glazing and laminating services in a salon: https://youtu.be/_dkLGUz14sQ

• grow long, strong curls without split ends,
• avoid hair dyeing to restore while maintaining color,
• keep the color you received from your favorite stylist for a long time. In this case, lamination is carried out immediately after the coloring procedure,
• preserve curls on trips to the sea - where the aggressive external environment (water, sun, sand, salt) affects it, deteriorating the quality,
• compact the curl by smoothing its surface,
• restore shine and elasticity,
• repair damage

HAIR LAMINATION PROCEDURE IN THE SALON AND AT HOME

The scheme for carrying out the lamination procedure in salons in its most general form looks like this:

• deep cleansing of the hair and scalp with a special high pH shampoo to open the cuticle scales,
• carrying out a deep reconstruction program. There are as many techniques for performing this step as there are brands on the market, you need to choose the one that is most suitable for you,
• applying the laminating composition with or without heat exposure (depending on the type of lamination and brand) for a certain time,
• washing and final drying of the length. IMPORTANT - styling after the care and lamination procedure is not carried out, because excessive mechanical stress with combs, thermal effects with hair dryers and, finally, chemical effects with styling products can destroy the laminate on the surface of the cuticle

For example, here are some types of lamination in different brands: https://youtu.be/O6ViLvEp6Uc, https://youtu.be/ZX__HPPAamI

The lamination procedure at home can be carried out in several ways:

1. The simplest and most effective is to purchase products for the procedure in professional stores.
2. Express laminates, sprays or masks with a lamination effect. Less durable, but easier to use.
3. Gelatin mask

LAMINATION AT HOME

1. Make the composition: 1 part wishing and 3 parts water. Choose the amount of product to use at home based on your hair length. Leave to swell
2. Preparation: while the gelatin is swelling, wash your hair with daily shampoo 2 times, then squeeze it thoroughly so that the water does not run out of it. Can be dried with a towel (gently rinsing) 80%
3. Mix the swollen gelatin with the mask (for colored hair or according to your care plan - for restoration or just to maintain quality) to the consistency of not liquid sour cream.
4. We retreat 1-1.5 cm from the root and quickly distribute the mixture along the length. We put on a plastic cap, wrap it in a towel and heat it with a hairdryer for 10-15 minutes. Next, let it cool, leaving the preparation for about 60 minutes. Sometimes it is first recommended to put on a hat, warm it with a hairdryer, and only then put on a towel. But there is a certain risk of overheating the scalp and burning it

When performing hair lamination at home, you must always remember:

• For durability and visibility of the effect, the procedure should be repeated at least 3 times each time you wash your hair.
• Before laminating your hair at home, be sure to consult a specialist. After all, not all curls are suitable for such masks, and it is often impossible to correct the result.

FEATURES OF HAIR CARE AFTER BIO-LAMINATION

Caring for laminated hair is very important; often it is the wrong selection that deprives the hair of its beauty and aesthetics. Proper care of curls at home after the lamination procedure is quite simple.

It is important to follow several rules:

1. The most important for the final completion of the lamination process are the first three to four days after the care procedure, so it is important:

• Avoid washing your hair for the first two days after care and lamination so that the film is better attached to the cuticle
• During the first two to three days after bio-lamination, it is necessary to avoid excessive thermal exposure - irons, hair dryers, walking without a hat.

2. Competent selection of care for laminated hair at home:

• Shampoo – a mild cleansing shampoo is required. Do not use aggressive shampoos (for example, deep cleaning, high pH)
• Products containing large amounts of acids and alcohols (aggressive styling or peeling) should be avoided. After the lamination procedure, the curls become more pliable and styling becomes easier, so the use of styling products is required in a minimal amount, sometimes you can even do without them at all
• Scrubs and various peelings for the scalp should be put aside - mechanical stress can also destroy the thin film of the laminate

CORRECT CARE OF LAMINED HAIR

1. Handle your curls gently and carefully, do not tug or pull them. Comb, wash, dry gently and very carefully. It is advisable to keep combs with natural bristles in your home first aid kit for hair care after bio-lamination; they allow you to smooth the cuticle more gently, comb it easier and more delicately sort out tangled curls
2. Use balms, conditioners, and care products with high sun protection properties
3. Use mild detergent shampoos - most often these are sulfate-free shampoos or special products recommended by brands on which lamination is performed. For the correct selection of hair care after lamination, it is better to seek the help of professionals
4. Change all home hair care after the lamination procedure to care products for colored hair. This greatly helps not only to preserve the film for a long time, but also to maintain hair color, because lines for colored hair have an acidic pH. This environment is very beloved by our hair; it allows us to maintain normal microflora.
5. The use of masks in the care of laminated hair is not required, because the laminate is like a filter that allows only small particles of care and oxygen to pass inside, to the cuticle itself, and a mask is a drug with large molecules and its penetration inside is simply not possible. Therefore, there is simply no point in wearing masks.
6. Aggressive external environment - water, frequency of washing, sun, sea salt, sand, frost, excessive dryness or humidity, etc. - all this thins and destroys the laminate film, so about once every one to two months it is necessary to restore it through maintenance and hair lamination
7. Working with hair dryers, straightening irons, curling irons - ideally the temperature should not exceed 100-120 degrees, otherwise the film will be destroyed. When drying, it is better to place the hairdryer at a distance of at least 20 cm from the head and choose a medium temperature for drying. Some brands advise avoiding drying altogether, this is understandable, because beauties often like to dry out their curls. In the case of laminated hair, this is simply not acceptable.
8. To properly care for laminated hair, you should remember that you cannot repeat the lamination procedure often, so every six months, give your gorgeous length a break from the laminate. It’s even better if the laminate will be like an ambulance for you when traveling, where the aggressiveness of the external environment changes greatly, and the rest of the time your care will include masks, leave-in creams and thermal waters for hair growth and nourishment of roots
9. Observe the condition of your hair with the help of a professional stylist and remember that laminate is only an aesthetic support program (giving it vitality, shine, gloss), but if the structure is too damaged, then you must first restore it and only then complete the care with laminating compounds
10. Hair coloring should be done before the care and lamination procedure. The protective film on the surface of the cuticle can distort the penetration of pigment into the hair, which will change the final color and damage the laminate.

Recently, a salon procedure has become especially popular -. Its main task is to make the strands perfectly smooth, even and silky. The essence of the procedure is to apply a certain composition to the strands, which gently envelops each hair, covering them with an invisible protective film. Thanks to this modern technique, you can very quickly transform dry, brittle and curly strands.

Features of the procedure

This restoration technique is suitable for any hair type; a special effect is obtained on porous strands. If you often dye your hair, blow-dry it, style it with curling irons and flat irons, then lamination is what you need!

Hair care after lamination

When laminating hair, care after the procedure must be of high quality and safe, otherwise the curls will quickly lose their strength and beauty.

1. The specialist who performed the technique must tell you how to care for your hair after lamination. After it is carried out, it is forbidden to wash your hair for the first couple of days so that the film is well attached to the curls.
2. During the first 24 hours, you should not use tongs, straighteners, or hair dryers.
3. As a basic care should be. Manufacturers of professional cosmetics know exactly which shampoo to choose after lamination.
4. After cleansing, be sure to apply conditioner with protective filters from the sun's rays.
5. Do not dry your hair after washing, only pat dry with a soft towel.
6. Scrubs and peelings should not be used on the scalp.
7. After the procedure, it is forbidden to dye the curls; this must be done before lamination.
8. To nourish the hair follicles, you need to make a mask based on vegetable oils 1-2 times a week.
9. Care products should not contain alcohol or chemical components.
10. The procedure should be repeated after a month.

What shampoo to wash your hair after lamination of hair

Some girls believe that it is enough to go to a good specialist who will perform lamination with high-quality products, but at home, ordinary products are quite suitable for care. This is actually a misconception. The appearance and health of your hair directly depends on what shampoo you use after lamination. Those products that can be easily purchased in nearby stores are not suitable for quality care. Mass-market cosmetics are intended only to cleanse strands of dust and dirt, but they cannot restore, cure, nourish or moisturize curls. Shampoo, like other hair cosmetics, must be of high quality, made from natural ingredients, such as professional products from well-known brands.

The most popular cosmetics for strands after lamination

1. Keraplastic shampoo and conditioner - suitable for sensitive skin, as well as dry, brittle and damaged strands. The shampoo gently cleanses the hair and scalp, saturates the curls along the entire length with nutrients, making them smooth, strong and elastic. The conditioner of this brand fills the porous parts of the hair, smoothes it, gives strength and shine.
2. Sulfate-free shampoo Big Volume Shampoo Sexy Hair is suitable for all hair types, cleanses efficiently and adds volume to fine strands. It contains proteins and panthenol, which carefully care for and restore curls from the inside.

It is possible to get beautiful hair without much effort with the procedure (some women felt the consequences of this procedure on their hair in the form of thinning and split strands) information about this technique varies. Some ladies are completely satisfied with it; the procedure did not cause any damage to their hair. Others, on the contrary, did not notice the difference between laminated and natural curls, and the strands after this care technology became lifeless.

What is hair lamination

Nothing transforms strands as much as Reviews (the consequences of this procedure are not as sad as a certain part of women claim, and the hair subsequently takes on its previous appearance) ladies note that this method allows you to restore curls after extensions and removes split ends. This is a special hair care technology where a laminate (a special product consisting of biologically active additives and vitamin B12) is applied to the hair and then washed off. After which the hair is transformed both from the inside and the outside. Covered with a breathable film, the strands become protected from the negative effects of the external environment and premature loss of moisture.

Cosmetologists believe that lamination does not harm the hair, but, on the contrary, has only a positive effect. Makes them elastic, shiny, obedient and more voluminous. The procedure smoothes out frizz. Protects colored strands from color loss.

Types of lamination

There are different techniques and types of hair lamination. Reviews (the consequences, as ladies who have done this procedure more than once say, completely depend on the professionalism of the master) claim that this event thickens the curls and makes them stronger.

Lamination happens:

• transparent and colored;
• hot and cold;
• regular and bio.

Transparent creates the impression of gloss. Suitable for any type of hair. Color gives your curls not only shine, but also shade. In this case, coloring pigments are used. The resulting effect of beautiful and healthy hair is also called ion lamination. It is more durable than transparent.

There are no significant differences between hot and cold lamination. In the first case, the curls are heated with an iron with a thermostat function. This application allows the components to penetrate into the deeper layers of the hair. In the second, the composition is applied to washed but unheated strands.

In conventional lamination, unlike bio lamination, non-natural components may be present, while in bio lamination only organic substances are used. Each of these types has its own characteristics.

Salon lamination

Hair lamination in the salon (the consequences depend on the condition of the strands before the procedure) takes place in several stages and lasts about an hour. The effect lasts for 4-6 weeks, over time the film is washed off, and the curls become the same. They lose shine, extra volume, chic.

First, the hair is cleaned of dirt and styling products. Then a nourishing mask is applied, and after it is washed off, a laminate is applied for thirty minutes. Finally, the hair is washed with water.

Lamination at home

Hair lamination can also be done at home. For these purposes, you need to purchase a special kit from a professional store. This includes: shampoo, restorer, hair lamination product, spray and caring oil for split ends.

Home lamination includes several stages:

1. Hair is cleansed with shampoo.
2. When color laminating, a tinting agent is applied.
3. Use a nourishing hair mask.
4. Apply lamination agent for half an hour.
5. The hair is heated with a hairdryer. The air stream should be heated to medium temperature.
6. The laminate is washed off with water.

Homemade has become especially popular lately; it requires minimal costs, and the result is sometimes not inferior to the salon one.

Hair care after the procedure

Hair becomes truly chic with a procedure such as hair lamination. The secrets of beauty consist not only in a correctly performed procedure, a good specialist and quality products, but also in proper care of the strands after a cosmetic event.

After lamination, you should follow some rules:

• do not wash your hair for two days after the procedure;
• over the next 24 hours, do not use a curling iron, straightener or hair dryer to care for your hair;
• use only mild detergent;
• use conditioner;
• lubricate the scalp with any vegetable oil twice a week;
• do not apply hair masks, since nutrients do not penetrate through the film that envelops the curl;
• do not use cosmetic products containing alcohol;
• do not use scrubs and peels on the scalp;
• comb your hair with a comb with natural bristles;
• do a head massage;
• do not overdry your curls;
• do not dye your hair.

It will maintain the lamination effect for a long period and will not cause negative consequences.

Positive aspects of the procedure

Experts have different opinions about such a procedure as hair lamination. Women themselves speak out for and against this event. Among the positive aspects, they highlight health improvement, which occurs due to the content of nutrients and vitamin B12 in the applied composition. Also, when the curls are covered with a film, they become less vulnerable to mechanical stress. Shine and additional volume appear. The shade lasts longer on colored hair. Light gray hair is hidden. Hair follicles are strengthened. Split ends disappear. Hair combs well. The hair becomes chic. Cosmetologists say that this procedure will only benefit your hair.

Harm of hair lamination

Despite the advantages of lamination, trichologists agree and claim that the procedure is not as harmless as it seems at first glance.

Firstly, the sheath that envelops each hair can disrupt the water-alkaline balance. This is due to the fact that the curls absorb some of the moisture from the atmosphere, and the film in this case does not allow water to pass through. This situation entails an imbalance of metabolism and can lead to cell dehydration, making the strands dull and lifeless. Slow down their growth.

Secondly, the natural breathing of the hair cuticle is disrupted, and the shell allows only a small portion of oxygen to pass through. There is a violation of metabolic processes, depletion of hair follicles. The condition of the strands becomes unsatisfactory.

Thirdly, lamination of hair negates the effect of all medicinal and cosmetic products. The active ingredients cannot penetrate the film. Therefore, unhealthy curls should not be subjected to this procedure; it will only worsen their condition.

Fourthly, the film increases the load on the strands, and not every hair can bear it. As a result, hair loss and breakage occurs on the scalp.

Fifthly, lamination cannot be removed with simple shampoos. To remove it, fairly aggressive agents are used that destroy the structure of the keratin scales of the hair cuticle.

In addition, the procedure is expensive, and the hair retains its attractiveness only for a month. In the future, their appearance becomes less impressive. The procedure must be repeated or using natural means to bring the hair to a similar look.

Contraindications

They say that it does not always give the desired effect. The consequences for the hair cannot be predicted, especially if the preliminary assessment of the condition of the hair was not thorough. This event has no direct contraindications, but there is no point in doing it if the lady is going to grow her curls. You should not expose lifeless and brittle curls to laminate, as they must first be treated, and the active substances do not penetrate through the film. You cannot dye laminated strands; you need to wait until the composition is completely removed from the hair.

How to minimize harm from the procedure

The negative consequences of hair lamination can be negated if you take into account the following nuances:

• Use only high-quality cosmetics for the procedure.
• Apply the laminating composition at a distance of 1-2 cm from the scalp, otherwise it will not breathe. Hair loss, skin itching and peeling will begin.
• Before a cosmetic session, curls need to be “pampered”, that is, saturated with nutrients, moisturized, strengthened and restored damaged structure. This should be done both a few weeks before lamination and before a cosmetic session.
• After the next lamination, you need to let your hair rest for 2-3 months before doing it again.
• To remove the composition from your hair, you need to use products specially designed for this purpose.
• If your hair is in poor condition, you should avoid this activity.

To use this procedure, you need to carefully weigh everything, otherwise the result may not live up to expectations.

Price

The price for hair lamination in a beauty salon ranges from 2-7 thousand rubles. The cost depends on the length of the strands and their condition. The price is influenced by the quality of the laminate, the type of procedure, the professionalism of the specialist and the prestige of the institution. A set for home lamination can be purchased for 1200-2300 rubles.

Hair lamination: reviews, opinions

Hair care is not limited to shampooing, masks and balm. Some women add strand lamination to it. Reviews about the procedure are very different. Someone is delighted with this event. He says that the hairs have become thicker. We purchased additional volume. Look smooth and shiny. They comb well. A certain part of the ladies claim that they did not experience any discomfort after the laminate came off their hair. The condition of the strands was the same, and in some cases improved.

There are negative opinions about lamination. They claim that after the procedure, the curls began to break and looked lifeless and dull. Some did not see any changes at all in the condition of their hair before and after the procedure.

Basically, every woman, satisfied with the result, strives not only to brag to her friends, but also to leave a review. Hair lamination in a beauty salon, performed by professionals, causes virtually no negative consequences and is strikingly different from home lamination. The appearance of such strands is luxurious. They flow and shimmer. They look healthy and shiny.

Hair care specialists strongly do not recommend washing your hair for two days after the procedure. The effect of the use of restorative agents used for the procedure should be permanent. Studies have shown that the protective layer will be fully formed within 48 hours.

Attention! At first, you should not be in the sun without a hat that completely protects your hair from ultraviolet radiation. This is especially true in the summer months, when exposure to the sun is especially aggressive.

What should you remember during daily care?

After lamination, you will have to exclude some usual actions from your daily hair care, which will now negatively affect the condition of your hair or weaken the effect of the procedure.

For example, you will have to stop using peelings(especially if they have a salt base) and scrubs. The fact is that the action of such products, even the most gentle ones, will inevitably lead to the appearance of microscopic damage on the scalp. And this is one of the main contraindications for lamination, and ignoring it means facing unpleasant health consequences.

In addition, you should refrain from highlighting and dyeing your hair.

It would be wiser to forget for a while about creating hairstyles using hair dryers, curling irons, and straightening irons that create high temperatures.

How to properly care for your hair after the procedure?

The result of lamination directly depends on proper care of restored hair. It is worth listening to the advice of professionals to prolong the restorative effect and eliminate unpleasant consequences.

Important! Repeated testing is possible only after 30–60 days (after consultation with a specialist).

Comb

Products made from natural materials are best suited for combing restored curls. Accessories with soft natural bristles are ideal for this purpose.

You need to treat laminated hair very carefully. You cannot pull tangled strands.

Wash

When washing, you must handle your hair very delicately. otherwise there is a risk of damage. It is not recommended to rub, squeeze or twist them intensively. It will be enough to gently massage your hair with detergent, rinse with not very hot water, and then blot with a soft towel to collect excess moisture.

The frequency of hygiene procedures is regulated by necessity: hair is cleansed as it becomes dirty.

To wash laminated hair, you should choose products that contain few alkaline compounds. Shampoos and conditioners used after hair coloring are quite suitable for this purpose.

Dry

Drying laminated hair with a hair dryer is performed at the lowest power. In this case, the device must be located at least thirty centimeters from the head, otherwise there is a risk of damage to the hair structure. In addition, the use of high temperatures burns out the protective layer formed on the strands, which means it negates the result of the procedure itself.

When curling, you should avoid using a curling iron. and use the good old method - curl your curls with hot rollers.

Using a straightener to create a hairstyle after lamination is quite dangerous for the same reason as blow-drying your hair: the strands inevitably become dry and damaged, and the effect of the restoration procedure approaches zero.

Important! To maximize the effect of lamination, it is best to dry your hair naturally.

Well, those women who cannot do without using an iron can be advised to observe the temperature regime (do not heat above 120 degrees).

What means can you choose?

Experts say that after the procedure, it is advisable to care for your hair using cosmetics manufactured by the same company that produced the restoration composition. This is the perfect solution to the problem. If this is not an option, there are many other options.

Let's consider hair washing products that will help your hair look well-groomed after visiting a beauty salon.

Professional hair care lines have many positive reviews:

1. ESTEL offers a well-proven series of special products for laminated hair OTIUMi Neo-Crystal.
2. Paul Mitchell laminated hair care products are enriched with wheat protein, which is the strongest natural antioxidant.

These shampoos have many advantages and only one drawback - they are not affordable for everyone.

In this case, you should not despair, because on the market for hair care products there are a considerable number of affordable and at the same time quite high-quality products. Here are just a few of them:

• Aubrey Organics offers a whole series of wonderful shampoos that are gentle on hair.
• Among the products of the domestic brand “Natura Siberica” you can choose neutral shampoos or take products from the series for colored and damaged hair.
• An option available to absolutely everyone from “Grandmother Agafya’s Recipes” is a hair washing composition based on soap root that strengthens hair.

For a good cleanser, you need to choose a suitable conditioner, paying attention to whether it contains components that protect hair from ultraviolet radiation. Among the expensive products, the brands “BES SOLAIRE”, “Silken Hipertin” and “Estel Professional Curex Sun Flower” have proven themselves very well.

For those who are temporarily limited in cash expenses, we can advise using balms - rinses for colored and damaged hair, which can be bought in any supermarket. There will be a positive effect from them, although not as pronounced as from professional products.

Attention! Products containing alcohol are contraindicated for laminated hair. Therefore, you will have to carefully re-read the labels on all cosmetic products available at home. If it is present among the components, then for one to two months it is better not to use them, but to replace them with alcohol-free analogues.

The use of hair masks after the lamination procedure becomes impractical, since the caring components of the mask are not able to overcome the protective film on the hair.

There is only one requirement for various sprays, mousses and gels that facilitate styling and fix hairstyles - they should not contain alcohol.

Hair lamination is a real godsend for those women who dream of restoring the structure of their hair, exhausted by an endless series of curls, styling and dyeing. This is a really effective method for preserving the shine and volume of curls, making it much easier to style hair without electrification and allowing you to create a variety of hairstyles. Proper care of laminated hair will allow its owner to always look impressive and be the center of attention.
