To give the image freshness, the fair sex is ready for the most daring experiments, but it does not hurt to think not only about temporary attractiveness, but also about the health of the hair. That is why the question is so relevant, is it possible to combine such hairdressing processes as dyeing and lamination.
Health technology: advantages and disadvantages
You can carry out this procedure yourself, but then you should use high-quality compounds and carefully study the main requirements. But from the experience of many women it is always preferable to use the services of a professional.
The technology has undoubted advantages.
- For enveloping hair, natural plant cellulose compounds, vitamins, natural proteins and keratin are used, while the protective film is able to pass air. Such a shell fills the porous sections of the hair shaft, seals its irregularities, so that the curls become smooth.
- The laminated coating retains the color obtained after staining until it is washed off, and it is washed out after 1-2 months.
- Hair during the procedure thickens by approximately 10%, which is very important if it is thin by nature.
- The film formed on the strands has moisture repellent properties. This ensures the styling in wet weather, even if the hair is permed.
There are also disadvantages to be aware of.
- If the hair is very dehydrated and damaged, the result may be unsatisfactory - the procedure will have to be repeated.
- The process takes a fairly long time - about 2-3 hours.But it depends on the density and length of the strands.
- When painting after restoration, a new tone may fall unevenly due to the fact that all the hairs are sealed.
In addition, lamination is an expensive procedure, and despite the fact that sometimes it takes once a month and a half, this service is not affordable for everyone. The high cost is due to the fact that high-quality compositions can not be cheap, and the work of the master is also added to this.
How are the procedures different?
Two procedures are designed for different purposes. Dyeing is a change in the tone and color of the hair, in which the chemical composition of the paint affects the hair shaft. And, of course, it is desirable that he is not too aggressive. The efficiency of this process in the cabin is almost one hundred percent, which cannot be said about its safety.
Lamination is the diametrically opposite effect on the hairstyle: it is the regeneration of curls by enveloping them with the thinnest protective layer of natural cellulose, so you can not be afraid of the harmful effects of the sun, wind and other negative external factors that worsen the hair structure.
At the same time, the strands look much better externally, acquiring a natural volume, shine, even their color becomes deeper.
In either case, when ordering such services, a woman seeks to look updated, but not everyone knows that these procedures can be combined, supporting the vitality, health and beauty of her hair. It remains only to find out in what order you need to "optimize" your appearance.
Painting after coating
In combining the two technologies, there are nuances. Even an experienced specialist is hard to determine without a hint what the result will be - it all depends on the particular hair of a particular woman. Therefore, you should initially prepare for two mutually exclusive options.
If restoration has been performed before and the laminated strands look great, have natural firmness and elasticity, then staining after this is permissible. However, you still have to wait for the cellulose layer to come off the hair. Meanwhile, over time, not only the protective film is washed out, but also the scales of the hair shaft, as a result, it is thinning.
It also happens that the hair loses its healthy appearance after lamination - they begin to crumble. Accordingly, staining can not be done immediately - it will take some time to heal the strands, and To do this, you can use specialized lotions, shampoos, serums and masks (preferably professional).
Along with this, it is necessary to abandon instruments that traumatize the hair (tongs, plaques, and hair curlers), to dry only in a natural way, excluding hot air when using a hair dryer.
If the hair has retained its beauty and strength, then dyeing should be carried out using dyes in the form of a balm or cream, since such products have a milder effect.
Staining before recovery
Lamination after staining is considered quite natural and even recommended.
It is enough to recall that the indications for this procedure are:
- violation of the hair structure and their unsatisfactory appearance due to the use of certain drugs;
- strong hair electrification;
- increased dryness and porosity, cross-section and splitting of the tips;
- recently made perm;
- painting over the entire length.
In this case, a microfilm will protect each hair from further destructive processes, give it a natural shine, make it smoother, more obedient and strong, so applying a laminating composition after staining is always preferable.
Who doesn’t fit?
However, there are contraindications to this procedure, which make it impossible for some fashionistas.
- Hair is weak, lifeless, thin. Despite the fact that inevitably their weighting occurs during lamination, they can begin to fall out.
- For the same reason, the procedure is not recommended to the owners thick hairbecause the hairstyle will be too heavy.
- Despite assurances of hypoallergenicity of the laminating compounds, with a predisposition to allergy this technology is also not suitable, because previously various bioactive plant substances are applied to the hair.
- You can not conduct recovery sessions in the presence of various injuries on the scalp, even as small as scratches and abrasions, they must first be healed.
You also need to keep in mind that after a couple of months the lamination process will need to be repeated. As for the rumors that once the procedure should be repeated constantly, this is a myth. It is not recommended to abuse it, especially with weakened roots.
How is it done?
Lamination of hair after dyeing is the only correct option, which makes it possible to neutralize the effect of chemical dyes. The procedure is carried out using temperature or the cold method.
Those who decide to use this service need to know what stages this process includes.
- First, the master must study the type, structure and condition of the hair. Based on this, choose the appropriate type of recovery, involving gentle, surface or deeper ionic penetration of the protective composition.
- At the second stage, hair and epidermis are cleansed with a special shampoo.
- A glue-like polymer composition is applied to the dried hair with a brush.
- After that, using a climazone, the strands are heated with warm air for 15–20 minutes.
- Subsequent actions - washing with a shampoo with a nutritious composition, applying a moisturizing balm.
- Finally, the hair is dried and styled depending on the preferences of the client.
In order to produce lamination, specialized kits are used, which include shampoo, balm, special oils, serums, spray, a booster to enhance the effect, lotion and means for collagen wrapping. The highest quality branded products include kits. Matrix, L'Oreal and Kerastase, Goldwell, Lebel Cosmetics for bio-lamination.
The main advantage of such compounds is their harmlessness and effectiveness, but such professional preparations are not cheap.
By the way, a simple one-time lamination can be carried out independently at home, using the usual products: olive oil, natural honey, castor oil, flaxseed decoction, gelatin diluted in water or coconut milk.
After the procedure, proper care of the hairstyle is necessary, excluding the use of shampoos with an alkaline composition, aggressive styling and cosmetics. It is also undesirable to use alcohol compounds, hair dryers, thermal tools for styling.
