How to laminate hair at home

Lamination of hair is a restorative procedure that suits the owners of dry, brittle and unruly hair. Laminating softens the hair, makes it more alive and well-groomed, gives a natural and healthy shine. This is an expensive salon procedure, but it can be done at home on your own using professional tools.

Shampoo and other means for lamination

For laminating hair at home, we need a special chelating shampoo that deeply cleanses the hair not only from dirt and dust, but also from traces of stowage. But if you could not buy one, then you can use your usual shampoo instead.

The means for laminating themselves are different. There are single-phase, high-speed, rapid lamination and so on. In this case, we used a two-phase complex of the brand Concept. This brand is well suited for home laminating, as it is quite budgetary and easy to use. We also need oil or a caring agent for the tips of the hair.

   Then wrap it in a warm towel and periodically warm it with a hairdryer. The composition on the hair is left for 15-20 minutes, depending on the degree of damage to the hair.

Masks made of gelatin for lamination

Lamination of hair is a procedure for the care and restoration of damaged hair structure. However, it is not always possible to use professional salon facilities. In this case, regular table gelatin will come to the rescue. Gelatin contains natural protein collagen, which helps strengthen and restore damaged and split hair. It covers the hair with a thin film, giving them a natural sheen and protection from the effects of laying agents and the environment.

Recipes for gelatin masks at home

There are many types of folk recipes for masks containing gelatin.

The simplest recipe includes only water and gelatin. It must be dissolved in water and applied to the hair for 40 minutes. Then rinse well with water.

If you add oil, such as burdock oil, to such a mask, it will also promote hair growth, since burdock oil has a beneficial effect on the roots of the head and awakens dormant hair follicles. However, do not abuse this mask, otherwise there is a risk of making hair too greasy and heavy.

You can add honey to the gelatin mask. It has nutritious and moisturizing properties. For short hair, one spoonful of honey will suffice, for long ones - two or three.

Also a mask with lemon juice is good. This mask is suitable for owners of fatty hair. Lemon restores normal work of sebaceous glands and reduces the production of sebum.
