Chemical straightening
This method resembles a chemical wave only with the opposite effect. To straighten hair, chemicals are used: ammonium thioglycollate and sodium hydroxide. The first drug deeply penetrates deep into the hair, so that the curls become straight and obedient. But since hydroxide changes the structure of the hair, accordingly, it damages it. Another substance, ammonium thioglycollate, is a more "gentle" option, but it is not suitable for too steep curls.
After applying the drug distribute the comb along the entire length of the hair, the action is stopped with specially neutralizing preparations. Before using strong substances, it is necessary to apply a base, for example, Vaseline cream, to avoid scalp burns.
After chemical straightening by this method, neither washing the head, nor high humidity, nor styling in the evening hair, nor heat-nothing can change the structure of the straightened hair. Only with time will become a problem overgrown roots. This trouble can be eliminated with the help of chemical rectification of overgrown roots.
Thermal Rectification
Thermal straightening is based on the effect of heat on the hair. Straighten hair at home with a hair dryer , a particularly suitable option for this procedure is a hair dryer. If you are afraid of hair drying, then give preference to models with ionization.
Before you start straightening, comb your hair well with a comb with wide teeth. Straighten your hair while it is wet, for best results use a round brush. Curly hair should be wound on a round comb in the opposite direction from twisting. Pulling the comb through the strands of hair, blow dry with the hair dryer the same strand. Manipulation must be repeated several times with each strand of hair until they become straight. After you apply an indelible conditioner on your hair, your hair will look smooth.
The next device for straightening are ironing . They also come with plates of metal and ceramics. The first kindle the hair, which leads to the formation of split ends. The second has improved the temperature control function, which helps to prevent damage to the hair. From professional irons, irons with an ion-ceramic coating are in demand. What are they good? And the fact that the composition of the plates is characterized by the presence of charged particles, which have a beneficial effect on the hair, restore it and give shine.
I would like to give some more tips on the use of hair iron:
• Styling should be done on clean hair;
• The hair must be completely dry before straightening;
• if possible, apply a hair protector that will protect curls from external influences;
• Periodically cut your hair to avoid split ends;
• for long hair, use a wide iron, for short hair - narrow;
• Using regular ironing with chemicals is not recommended, this also applies to hair dye.
• the same hair area can not be ironed for a long time;
• Do not use the iron more than twice a week.
The result of using both a hair dryer and ironing will last until the next hair wash.
Bio-straightening of hair is another method of straightening curls for a long time. The procedure is based on the use of natural types of amino acids. For example, such as cysteine. In our case, an improved cysteine (without an acid group) is used. This substance does much less harm to our hair. Herewith hair straightens almost perfectly.
Creams, conditioners and other preparations
If the above hair straightening methods are not to your liking, then there is one more. Buy a special product for hair straightening. In this case, smoothing spray, straightening lotion and whey for straightening hair will help. Do not confuse them with protective means, which are used when straightening hair ironing. The straightening agent is applied to wet hair and distributed over the entire length. Keep it until it dries completely, then comb your hair. The effect also lasts until the next wash of the head.
But cosmetic means alone can not be avoided if your hair is too strongly curly. In the case of wavy, damaged, slightly curly hair, cosmetic preparations are the best option for temporary hair straightening. The plus of this method is that it can be done at home at any time, while the hair does not suffer so much.
