Lamination of hair Estel: features, compositions and their application

Every woman dreams of beautiful hair. Additional shine will help create a salon procedure called lamination. To date, the professional Russian brand Estel has introduced a special kit for laminating at home. Following the instructions for use, it will be possible to achieve a truly high-quality result.

The lamination process is a special type of coating of strands, leaving behind a smooth protective film that betrays an extraordinary shine and radiance. In addition to external indicators, the laminating composition strengthens, nourishes and moisturizes the hair from the inside.

The Russian professional brand Estel presents a special kit, which includes all the necessary components for this procedure.

Key principles of lamination services from Estel experts:

• chemicals do not penetrate into the hair - the effect is only on the outer shell;
• the duration of the effect (with proper care) - up to 5 weeks;
• acts as not only a straightening, but also a treatment;
• preparations include a list of useful substances: wheat proteins, keratin, cellulose, soy.

The full name of the kit is Estel iNeo-Crystal. The complex consists of several components.

• Preparing shampoo (200 ml). In addition to effectively cleansing curls and scalp, it provides the most profound effect of subsequent products.
• 3D gel (normal / weak, severely damaged hair, 200 ml). Penetrating inside, substances exert a restorative, therapeutic effect on the structure of the strand.The protection is the very thin film that forms, filling the damaged curl from the inside.
• 2-phase fixation lotion (100 ml). The active ingredient - chitosan of natural origin - intensively moisturizes and nourishes curls, and also has an antiseptic effect. This lotion provides a firm fixation of the film, without which the procedure will not last even a day.
• Serum (50 ml). It is the final product. It polishes laminating hair, gives instant softness, smoothness and radiance.

According to Estel experts and professional hairdressers, the benefits of this service are as follows:

• solves the problem of dryness and brittleness;
• completely eliminates split ends;
• gives visible volume;
• restores even heavily damaged strands;
• helps to rehabilitate after staining, prolonged use of styling: ironing, hair dryer;
• acts as protection against the harmful effects of UV rays.

However, you should know about contraindications, so as not to harm the hair even more:

• severe hair loss;
• an allergic reaction to the composition;
• thin long curls;
• diseases of the scalp;
• recent illnesses.

Lamination is a suitable service for absolutely all types of hair.

You can also carry out at least high-quality lamination on your own - each set from Estel has detailed instructions for use and important recommendations for obtaining the desired result.

Home lamination includes 4 main stages, which should be performed necessarily step by step.

• First of all, it is necessary to clean the hair and scalp using a special shampoo (the component in the kit is indicated by the number "1"). It should be applied to wet hair, foam thoroughly, then rinse with water. For a better result, experts recommend doing this procedure several times. So your curls will be perfectly clean. Drying is allowed only in a natural way - without any heating appliances.
• 3-D gel is indicated by the number “2”. To start, comb the hair, divide it into 4 parts, fixing it with hairpins. Using a brush, apply the composition first to the lower strands (do not forget to back off about 2 cm from the roots). Hands spread the mixture over the entire head. Now you need to collect the treated hair in a bun and put on a plastic hat. After that, you can start drying with a hairdryer (duration - 20 minutes). When finished, rinse the treated head surface with warm water, dampen with a towel.
• The next step is to apply a special indelible lotion. Be sure to shake the bottles before use! Gently spray the entire length of the curls.
• The serum remains last. Keep in mind: if you have damaged hair - soak it, if not - apply the composition exclusively on dry ends. Thanks to this serum, those same radiance and softness will appear.

Manufacturers of the Russian company Estel promise a rather long-lasting effect - up to 2 months. However, it is worth taking care of subsequent care, which greatly affects the preservation of the result.

Masters recommend observing several rules for caring for hair after lamination:

• try not to wash your hair for 2 days after the service: this time is necessary for full activation and fixing of the film;
• It is forbidden to use styling products such as hair dryers, straighteners, curling irons, etc .;
• it is better to purchase a professional line of products from Estel, designed to care for laminated hair;
• it is necessary to use a protective balm from UV rays;
• scrubbing / peeling of the scalp is prohibited.

Judging by the customer reviews, Estel's home lamination has a number of pluses and minuses.

Advantages:

• smoothness, softness, gloss;
• reduction of split ends;
• locks cease to fluff;
• easy combing;
• locks are better for styling;
• absolutely safe composition;
• ease of use at home;
• protective barrier against harmful environmental influences;
• prolongs the "life" of dyed hair.

Disadvantages:

• poor quality result (in case of non-compliance with all the rules);
• short effect;
• the high cost of the work of specialists;
• subsequent special type of care;
• increased fat content of strands and roots.

First of all, women say that making lamination at home is much easier than contacting professional hairdressers. Of course, the main advantage of the Estel iNeo-Crystal complex is its price: it is much lower than the salon.

In addition to cost, customers noted the restoring effect of damaged strands, the appearance of an unusual shine, especially under sunlight, and an improvement in the overall state. Many in such an unusual way got rid of excessive cross-section, electrification, fluffiness.

In addition, women are satisfied with the volume of bottles with the drug, which, incidentally, is enough for 3 treatments (with an average length of hair), and this is a good saving of money and time. Nevertheless, some complain about a practically zero result after using the professional Estel laminating line. The main reason is improper adherence to recommendations for working with the composition, non-compliance with the temperature regime, ignorance of the type and structure of your own hair.

An important factor is the subsequent care, which is mostly neglected by the fair sex: they continue to use the usual shampoo for daily shampooing, and sometimes they are not refrained from using styling devices. Remember: only with the help of special tools will it be possible to preserve the very laminating film that gives shine and protection to your curls.
