Highlighted hair care

Many girls and women at least once in their lives have resorted to such a very popular procedure as highlighting. The process itself consists in bleaching some strands of hair and does not differ in particular complexity. Nevertheless, many encountered some difficulties after such staining. One of these difficulties is the care of highlighted hair.

As mentioned earlier, highlighting is a partial bleaching of the hair. For this purpose, the strongest chemical is used that completely removes all pigments from the hair and destroys its structure.

Damage is caused only if the procedure was carried out incorrectly - the chemical lasted too long. Another reason may be the wrong tool.

Possible problems:

• hair destruction after too long a procedure;
• hair that has lost too much water becomes very dry and brittle;
• the appearance of dandruff;
• the appearance of split ends;
• hair becomes naughty, does not lend itself to styling or straightening;
• hair loss.

It is well known that after highlighting it is recommended to use only special shampoos and leaving balms, but which ones are not known to everyone.

Mandatory is the use of moisturizing shampoo and professional conditioner. Such funds are needed to restore water balance.

We must not forget about the balm, which, as a rule, is applied every time after washing. It is also extremely important to use masks at least once a week and arrange nutritious procedures with vegetable oils.

The most popular brands that make shampoos and balms for highlighted hair are:

• Schwarzkopf;
• L'Oréal;
• Taft;
• Shauma;
• Head & Shoulders and others.

It is very important to take care of your hair after such a procedure. It is at this moment that they require greater care and attention.

If, after highlighting, the hair was burned, a number of certain actions should be performed.

1. The first step is to apply a rinse conditioner. This tool is necessary in order to at least slightly restore the disturbed water balance and maintain color.
2. It is worthwhile to purchase a shampoo special for highlighted hair. It is very important that it contains keratin, mineral water and as many vitamins as possible. Thus, the hair will become more vibrant and silky.
3. It is important to know that the next staining can be done at least 2 months later. During this time, the hair will have time to properly recover. Nevertheless, no one has canceled tonics, tinted shampoos and other harmless products. But they are recommended to be used only after a couple of days.
4. It is better to forget about hair dryers, irons and other electrical appliances. The effect of hot air on weakened hair will bring extremely negative consequences up to loss and yellowing.
5. Actions that can damage the hair should also be nullified. These include towel drying, and combing wet hair, other damage.
6. If the highlighting procedure was carried out at home, then you should take care of special masks that will help your hair recover as quickly and easily as possible.

In case of hair loss after highlighting, care should also be taken.

2. Used combs should be with natural pile, and it is best to resort to old wooden scallops.
3. Many are advised to independently prepare nutritious cocktails. However, if this is not possible, then they can be purchased at specialized cosmetic stores.
4. Proper nutrition will also be useful. Everything fatty, sweet and harmful is recommended to be excluded, and priority should be given to healthy and natural products - cereals, vegetables, fruits, and more.
5. You can start using drugs intended for pregnant or already giving birth to women. Such substances contain many necessary elements.

For those girls who were extremely dissatisfied after the procedure, there are certain options and methods that can help restore curls.

You can treat them both at home and in salons. However, it is best to resort to the help of professionals, although such treatment is not particularly cheap. The average price is from 2 to 10 thousand rubles, depending on the complexity and type of procedure.

There are various treatment options.

After highlighting, lamination will be useful. The process itself is to create a protective film for the hairline. It is good in that for a long time the hair looks vibrant and shiny.In addition, after lamination, there will be no need to apply masks.

The average price for this procedure is 3-4 thousand rubles.

In this case, special serums are applied with keratin, hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids and other important substances. As a result, the hair retains its color and becomes less brittle and more shiny.

However, the result remains for a short time - after two months, a second procedure will be required.

Botox can cost 1.5-3 thousand rubles.

Shielding is necessary to create high volume and lasting shine. A special tool is applied to the curls, creating a protective film and protecting against mechanical damage. It is distinguished from lamination by a deeper effect and treatment.

Depending on the drugs used, the price of shielding can vary from 3 to 10 thousand rubles.
