Yesterday - curly, and today - the owner of smart smooth strands? Easily! There are many ways to straighten disobedient curls. One of the most modern methods of action is keratin. How to straighten hair with keratin and how safe is it?
Keratin hair straightening: harm or benefit
Indeed, the arguments that arise about the harm of this method have some basis. Despite the fact that keratin is a natural protein, the composition for keratin straightening of hair originally included formaldehyde. As you know, this substance is able to accumulate in the body, especially in the liver, and cause cancer. But it was a mixture of the first generation. Today's composition of a modern and high-quality keratin mixture is absolutely safe. It does not contain formaldehyde. Or the number of them is negligible enough to somehow harm those who use such a product. Information on the formaldehyde content in the keratin mixture should be present on the package. The origin of the protein is also important. Synthetic keratin is certainly cheaper, but worse than natural. So, to protect yourself from the influence of harmful chemicals is very easy: you just need to be careful when choosing such a tool. Several are confused by the effect of high temperature during the fixation of keratin. But the infrequent use of such thermal regimes will not harm the hair. In addition, most keratin mixtures include hair protection products from high temperatures.
Nanokeratin straightening of hair
How does keratin straightening take place? It's no secret that our hair is more than 95% composed of keratin. As a result of these or other damages, the structure of the hair can break down, it becomes porous. To resume the hair structure, a method of keratin treatment was invented. Hair after keratin straightening get healthy shine and easily fit, strands become thicker and stronger, and the waves and curls are smoothed. Keratin restoration and hair straightening is a salon procedure, lasting several hours. The effect of it lasts from 2 to 4 months, depending on the initial degree of damage to the hair, the quality of the keratin mixture and the work of the master. With repeated keratin treatment, the effect can last longer, since even a washable keratin still has a beneficial effect on the processed curls. Straightening of the hair with keratin is carried out by applying a keratin mixture to carefully cleaned hair with a special shampoo. Fix the protein with an iron to straighten the hair at a temperature of 230 ° C.
Recently, the keratin mixture has been perfected by Israeli producers. They split the keratin molecules into separate nano-particles. Nanokeratin is so small that it can penetrate the interior of the hair, filling all its pores. Thus, an amazing effect of recovery and straightening is achieved.
