How to restore hair after chemistry?

In today's world with a high pace of life, many working women want to keep their hair and curls as long as possible. And for this, you sometimes have to resort to radical measures, such as perms. It must be recognized that this method has a very adverse effect on the condition of the hair and requires restoration, more gentle and thorough care for them in the future. Fortunately, currently there are many means, both professional and folk, for maintaining the health and beauty of hair.

First, consider what the essence of perm is, what happens to the hair during this procedure.

Normal healthy hair is covered with dense keratin scales. Keratin is a protein consisting of various amino acids, and the main one is cysteine, which is the main connecting link. To create curls, the hair is treated with special chemicals that destroy this amino acid, and the hair is more easily deformed. The degree of destruction may vary.

An experienced hairdresser will in no case do chemistry if the client has loose hair. Even healthy strands experience significant damage. In any case, after chemistry, the hair needs more gentle care, and sometimes with an unsuccessful procedure and in full recovery.

Basic rules for restoring hair health:

• protect the hair from overdrying and hypothermia, that is, it is undesirable to use a hairdryer, walk in hot or cold weather without a hat;
• do not expose the hair to additional chemical and physical influences - do not bathe in salty sea or chlorinated water in the pool, comb it with a comfortable comb, before doing this, lubricate, soften hair, do not do complex hairstyles using varnishes, do not use metal clips and hairpins, preferably not paint during this period;
• use special professional or folk remedies to soften, nourish and moisturize the strands (shampoos, balms, masks, herbal decoctions);
• eat right so that there are foods in the diet that contain quite a few amino acids to restore keratin, as well as enough vitamins.

Restoring and strengthening hair must begin with hydration and nutrition. There are a lot of professional and folk remedies and methods for this. This can be done both in the cabin and at home. It is only necessary to stock up on patience and perseverance. Not the least role in this is played by the diet and general condition of the body.

Currently, hundreds of manufacturers of cosmetics and therapeutic cosmetics can provide whole lines of products: shampoos, balms, sprays, serums, oils, rinses, hair masks, conditioners.

There are mass products that are offered to consumers in each store, the so-called mass market. And there is professional and medical cosmetics, which are sold in pharmacies and specialized stores. Such cosmetic preparations have healing properties, as they contain medicinal ingredients (keratin, betaine, panthenol), as well as natural ingredients (plant extracts, oils).

The products of such companies as Vichy, Kerastase, Collistar are sold in pharmacies. These well-known time-tested manufacturers make medical cosmetics according to recipes that have undergone experimental testing, with strict observance of technology and safety.

And also excellent cosmetic professional products are produced by Estel, Wella, L »Oréal and others.

For example, the Estel Curex Therapy mask, which contains proteins and collagen, is an excellent regenerative. Many manufacturers, for example, the company L »Oréal, produce a whole line of hair regeneration products after perms. It includes shampoo, conditioner, moisturizer for hair and nourishing oil. In general, to achieve a good result during treatment, it is recommended to use the entire cosmetic line of one manufacturer as a whole.

The packaging usually prescribes for what purpose the cosmetic product is intended. In case of unsuccessful chemistry, a remedy is selected for damaged and dry hair. And also pay attention to the composition of the product. A self-respecting modern manufacturer will definitely indicate from which components this cosmetic product is made.

Shampoos are chosen according to their personal feelings, it happens that even the most ordinary shampoo from an ordinary store is better than expensive analogues. And it is recommended to change them from time to time.

Balms are used to soften and moisturize. With sensitive scalp, you can use only balms, instead of shampoos. Serums and conditioners for the most part are not washed off with water. Hair after all procedures is dried in a natural way, without a hairdryer. Masks and oils must be applied before shampooing every 2-3 days until the hair becomes healthy.

Many women prefer affordable and inexpensive, but no less effective methods of hair care - these are folk recipes for masks and herbal decoctions. Sometimes they turn out to be even more effective than all these expensive cosmetics. For this, natural products and all kinds of herbs are used.

From time immemorial, folk healers have known the healing properties of many plants and herbs, and their experience has been passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, you can be sure that herbal decoctions and natural vegetable oils will not cause harm to health.

First of all, you can advise various oils: burdock, olive, coconut, sesame, linseed. Before use, heat the oil a little, rub the scalp and strands in full length, collect the hair, cover with plastic wrap and wrap with a towel. Hold for 20-30 minutes, then rinse with shampoo.

Masks at home can be prepared in the literal sense of everything that is at hand. These are dairy products (kefir, sour cream, whey), and rye bread, and honey, and lemon, and eggs, and mayonnaise. They even use products such as onions, garlic, hot pepper, mustard, as they increase blood flow. Squeeze juice from onions, lubricate the scalp. Pepper, mustard can be added to masks. Only such masks must be done with caution and not kept for a very long time so as not to get irritation of the scalp.

With the help of medicinal decoctions of herbs, you can prepare rinses. But you need to remember that plants dye hair, for example, a decoction of chamomile, calendula is used only for fair hair, onion peel, sage, burdock root give a red tint, and nettle, calamus, rosemary are better for brown and dark hair.

Brewed black and green tea also has a beneficial effect on the hair and scalp. With tea leaves, it is enough to rinse your head every time after washing with shampoo.

At home, you can even carry out the lamination procedure, almost like in salons. To do this, 1 sachet of gelatin is diluted in 3 tablespoons of boiled water at room temperature, allowed to brew, then add a tablespoon of balm and applied to clean, damp hair, wrap your head with a towel and stand for an hour. Then you need to rinse your hair and dry it without a hair dryer. Such a mask does not have a therapeutic effect, but strengthens weak brittle hair, gives them a healthy look.

Before suggesting ways to quickly restore hair after an unsuccessful chemistry, you need to immediately warn that it will not work immediately to completely restore the hair. But it is urgent to cure the burned strands.
