Creative hair straightening: what is it and how to make it?

Many have probably encountered on the Internet with the incomprehensible name of one very popular hairdressing procedure - creative hair straightening. If you think about the meaning of the adjective, it must be some very unusual straightening, which no one has done before.

What types are

In the modern hairdresser's art, under the creative straightening understand several techniques at once. The two most famous are the Brazilian and Japanese. What is it, you can find out how the hairdressers in the cabin, and find information on our website. Perhaps, they were called "creative" because both are performed not by traditional "ironing", but by stronger products.

Brazilian straightening occurs by applying a special composition to the hair, including keratin and some medicinal components. This is, first and foremost, a curative procedure for replenishing hair with keratin, and straightening is a side effect, which accidentally became the main bait for girls wishing to perform such a procedure on their hair. As a rule, the price for this procedure in the salons is quite high.

Japanese hair straightening is carried out with the help of sodium hydroxide, guanidine hydroxide or ammonium thioglycollate. Unlike the Brazilian technology, straight hair is not straightened out along the entire length, but only by the hair at the roots. This procedure takes about 6 hours, but the effect lasts longer than with the Brazilian straightening. In any case, both these techniques are used on hair not without the involvement of special means with chemicals, so straightening is called chemical.

Reviews of people

And this is what the ladies say who tried an unusual type of hair straightening:

Anonymous wrote on one of the women's websites: "I did 3 months ago and was very pleased with the result: the split ends disappeared, my hair stopped" pouring ".I myself am blushing with a blonde for 15 years, and even on my dyed hair the result of keratinizing lasts a long time.

I use the most common shampoos, and not non-sulfated, as recommended. Now drying the hair takes less time, no need for oils and different masks. The only downside is that the procedure does not add volume to the hair. "

Alisa writes: "The question is, of course, complicated, but we, women, are the same - we want to be beautiful at all costs. I've been doing keratin straightening myself for four years. The first time was a stunning effect, which lasted 4 months. The second time, the hair was just "killed."Apparently, they overexposed the composition, and everything flew away in shreds. Conclusion: it all depends on the composition, professionalism of the master, the temperature of ironing and the structure of the hair itself. If you have thick hair, everything will be fine, but for thin ones it's better to look for a more gentle procedure. "

But the user of luivitonovna did herself a Japanese straightening with Goldwell and was satisfied with the result:" The procedure looked like this: first I was washed my head, then dried my hairand applied the first composition( selected individually, based on the condition of the hair).When the hair begins to break sulfate bonds, the composition is washed off, and the hair is dried, and then straightened "ironing".

After this, the neutralizer is applied and left for a while. Then wash it off, and the hair is again dried with a hair dryer. The result is smooth and shiny hair.

The nuances I have noticed: the colored hair lightens 1-2 colors, the method is not suitable for discolored and streaked hair. But on the whole, straightening justifies itself, it's only a very harmful procedure for thin and "tortured" hair. "In the photo - hair before and after the procedure.

Self-Straightening Hair

Both Brazilian and Japanese - any creative straightening of strands can be done at home, but you need to remember that in this case the result is not always positive from the first time.

In addition, recently a lot of negative reviews about home keratinization attempts have appeared on the web. Nonprofessionalism of beginners, cheap keratin, banal inability to use "ironing", overstretch of the composition on the hair - the reasons for the negative result may be mass. Of course, a negative result will never be shown in the photo, but it has a place to be.
