The modern industry offers various restorative techniques for damaged hair. One of them is molecular reduction. We will tell in more detail what it is, and also consider the technique of this procedure.
The essence of the technique
This method provides for the restoration of damaged hair structures at the molecular level through the use of a special substance - keratin. This structural protein is the basis for the formation of the hair shaft. Unfortunately, various effects can cause damage to this component: temperature changes, frequent staining, perms and many other factors.
Due to the deep penetration of keratin, which is in special preparations used for the molecular hair restoration procedure, its external properties change inside the hair shaft.
This effect helps to ensure that the scales that are on the thread are smoothed out. Outwardly, this is manifested in the fact that the hair looks more smooth and shiny.
Benefits
Molecular recovery is a procedure that allows you to achieve a truly worthy result. Already, as a rule, after a single application of this method, the appearance of the hair improves. The use of cosmetic products designed for molecular recovery promotes deep hydration of the hairs.
The amino acids that make up keratin have a complex effect on the structure of the hair shaft. Saturation of hair with these components helps to make curls grow faster.The tips at the same time look more well-groomed and break off much less frequently.
Another advantage of this procedure is that it can be carried out both in a beauty salon, and at home. Molecular recovery cosmetic products can be purchased at professional hair care products if desired.
Carrying out this method for curls at home helps to save significantly, since you do not need to pay the master for the work.
This procedure contributes to:
- creating a special film on the hair that protects them from various negative influences;
- densification of hairs without overburdening them;
- antistatic curls;
- fluffiness reduction;
- "Soldering" of cut ends;
- facilitation of any styling;
- protection of the dyed hair from quick washing of the pigment
Molecular reconstruction can be performed not only for girls with straight hair. Beauties with wavy curls or curls can also resort to this method to improve the appearance of hair. Curls after this procedure will be saved. In this case, wavy hair will look more textured.
Molecular restoration provides a beautiful appearance for hair for several months. After the procedure, the hair shines beautifully and is easy to comb, as a rule, even without the use of any styling aids. However, in order to maintain the achieved result after molecular hair restoration longer, curl care experts recommend the use of special products.
For example, a shampoo that does not contain aggressive chemical components that contribute to the rapid “washing out” of keratin from the hair shaft is suitable for washing hair.
How is the procedure performed?
To carry out this method of hair restoration, you need an iron. It is better to choose a device that has the option of changing the temperature regime. This procedure requires the iron to warm up. up to 180 degrees. It is under such temperature conditions that keratin and other components contained in molecular reduction products can penetrate well into the hair shaft.
The procedure begins with a head wash using a special shampoo. Hair care experts recommend combing well before washing your hair. This will help ensure that all components penetrate more easily.
After the hair is washed, a molecular recovery agent is applied to them with a special brush. Apply it should be strand by strand. You can start applying from any area of the head (as it will be convenient). Apply the product with keratin evenly so that it can penetrate the entire length of the hair shaft.
Once the hair has a molecular repair agent, the strands need to be “pulled” with the ironing. Moreover, each lock, in order for all components to penetrate well into the hair, is processed 4-5 times. This "fixing" contributes to the fact that keratin from the product begins to fill the inner space of the hair shaft, contributing to a change in its physical properties.
After the hair is processed in this way, they should be left for several minutes. During this time, the curls will completely cool down, and all the components contained in the products for molecular recovery, penetrate into the hairs. Next, the hair is washed and styled.
Limitations
Molecular recovery is a procedure that has virtually no contraindications. The funds that are used with this method have a good composition and favorably affect the condition of the curls. However, in some people, they can provoke the appearance of undesirable manifestations. So, It is recommended to refuse this procedure to people who have various injuries and wounds on the scalp.
Before using any cosmetic product, experts recommend that you do a test for allergies. If during the preliminary testing any allergic manifestations appeared, it is recommended to refuse the use of such a cosmetic product.
And also experts do not recommend conducting this procedure for people suffering from skin diseases of the scalp. In this case, before the molecular hair restoration procedure it is better to consult a dermatologist or trichologist first.
Some girls believe that through this procedure they will be able to cope with dandruff. However, it is not. This procedure mainly contributes to the hydration and nutrition of hairs. On the scalp, however, it has practically no effect.
Follow-up care
After the restoration, the curls look very beautiful. In order for keratin to remain inside the hair shaft longer, proper care is necessary. So, for washing hair, it is recommended to use shampoos that do not contain sulfate additives. These chemical components can contribute to the rapid leaching of keratin, which will lead to an early loss of results.
After molecular restoration, a beautiful volume of hairstyle is preserved. It can persist even up to 1-1.5 months, and in some cases even longer. If you look after curls in the future using special means rich in keratin, then You can save the achieved result for six months.
To maintain a beautiful natural shine of the hair after a molecular recovery, it is recommended to use special conditioners. You can maintain smoothness with caring masks containing keratin.
It is important to remember that abuse with the use of such cosmetic products is not worth it. So, masks with keratin are recommended to be used no more than once a week.
Reviews
Opinions about molecular hair restoration are different. So, some girls note that through this method they were able to significantly improve the appearance of their hair. At the same time, they also note that the curls after molecular recovery became smooth and acquired a natural attractive luster.
There are also negative opinions. Some reviews mention that the procedure performed did not contribute to the improvement of the hair structure. Such negative reviews are found, as a rule, from beauties with blond hair.
Specialists note that it is not possible to restore curls damaged after frequent bleaching by one procedure. In this case, it may be necessary to re-conduct, as well as the use of other techniques.
