Many factors can affect the condition and health of hair. One of them is the numerous modern hairdressing services, after which the hair rods are burned. Today, to restore and treat curls, you can use professional formulations and folk remedies, most importantly, find the right complex and use it correctly.
Features
The use of various hair transformation techniques, including expensive hairdressing, hair rods, regardless of length and structure, can be seriously affected. This is especially true for burnt hair when the shaft loses its natural water balance. The result is dull, brittle and split ends that require a whole range of recovery procedures.
The causes of this deterioration in the condition of the hair can be sources of a chemical or thermal type, the main ones directly related to hairdressing procedures.
Among the main causes of such damage, the following should be highlighted:
- painting and lightening curls;
- exposure to chlorine from tap water;
- the use of irons, hair dryers, pads and other electrical appliances for styling hair;
- perm;
- the influence of ultraviolet rays.
As for chlorine and chemical constituents for bleaching, curling or dyeing, as a result of their penetration deep into the hair shaft, its structure is destroyed. The burnt upper layer of the cuticle exfoliates, inside it becomes completely dehydrated.In other cases, the hair becomes burnt out due to high temperature during contact with hair styling and styling devices.
Despite the fact that many experts and the fair sex find the only way out of the situation, cutting off damaged hair, in most cases they can be restored even at home.
A number of main features should be highlighted regarding the subsequent care of burnt curls.
- It is, indeed, better to get rid of the split and dehydrated tips. This is necessary to prevent further delamination of the hair shaft, which can lead to hair loss.
- During recovery measures, you need to refrain from using a hair dryer, ironing machine, hair curlers and other devices and appliances that will affect damaged ringlets at high temperature.
- It is preferable to wash your hair with natural compounds. And this also applies to balms and conditioners, which must have organic components.
- Temporarily avoid hairstyles with tight weaving, as well as the use of rubber bands or hairpins, which will strongly tighten damaged curls. Invisibles, studs and other metal fixtures are best not yet used.
- In cases where the contact of hair with a hairdryer or other device cannot be avoided, the hair must first be treated with thermal protection.
- Staining curls can only be done with natural coloring agents. In this list, it is worth highlighting cinnamon, onion husks, chamomile and so on.
- Burned hair needs to be protected from cold and ultraviolet radiation, so in winter it is imperative to wear a hat. As for the summer months, especially the vacation period, the hair should be hidden from the sun always.
- Restoring and caring for split and dehydrated hair rods implies the rejection of the use of mousses, varnishes and other styling compounds.
And you also need to be patient, because it is not possible to quickly restore the hair burned by ironing, hairdryer or chemistry. For treatment, you will need to conduct a whole range of procedures for a certain period.
Duration will directly depend on the degree of damage to the hair rods.
The best professional cosmetics
Professional hair restoration procedures are quite popular today. Masters of beauty salons offer their customers a wide range of services for the care and reanimation of damaged curls. As a rule, they do not take so much time, but are distinguished by high cost in comparison with traditional methods of treatment. Among the most effective methods of restoring burnt hair, it is worth highlighting several salon procedures.
Lamination
The classic version that has been used by hairdressers for a long time in working with dry and brittle burned hair. As experience shows, in this way it will be possible to externally transform even the most damaged strands.
The essence of the procedure is to treat the hair with a special complex composition based on vitamins, glycerin, trace elements, proteins and amino acids. These substances envelop each core, and also penetrate inside, as a result, a protective film is formed on the curls, which allows you to close the cuticle and also smooth out all defects. At the same time, useful components actively nourish and heal the hair.

However, there are some differences between the two methods of repairing burnt hair rods.First of all, shielding has a cumulative effect, which is why a complex of 3-5 procedures will allow you to restore curls even after chemistry and aggressive bleaching.
And also, before shining, it is not at all necessary to make a haircut, since the composition used reliably seals the hairs along the entire length. This will be relevant for girls who value every inch of their hair.
Keratin straightening
The principle of working with hair involves not only straightening the strands, but also their treatment and protection. This procedure involves application of the amino acid composition to the burned curls, after which the master will process the hair with a special electric device.
The need to use a heating device is due to the characteristics of the used means under thermal influence to penetrate deeper into the structure of the rod, closing all pores and flakes on the cuticle. After the procedure, the hair will become smooth, without sticking and stratified particles. With further hair care with a special shampoo, the result on the hair will remain for a long time.
