Every woman at any age takes care of the condition of her hair. The impact of the environment, stress and other negative factors negatively affect the curls - they become thin, dry, brittle, split ends. In addition, the problem is aggravated by popular styling products - hair dryers, curling irons, irons, curlers. Salon and home restoration procedures will help restore beauty and health to curls. Thermokeratin treatment continues to win love among women - consider it in more detail.
What it is?
Classical keratinization is the application of a special composition to strands, based on natural keratin. This substance penetrates into the deep layers of the hair, leaving a significant part on its surface. The result is a special protective film with a slight sheen. To enhance the activation of the substances included in the preparation, the hair is treated with a hot iron before the procedure starts - high temperature positively affects the absorption of keratin. Therefore, even with treatment can not do without thermal exposure. Unlike thermokeratin reduction, which does not require additional heating appliances.
The reason is in the unique composition. The substance is connected with a special thermal activator, as a result, the necessary heat is generated, due to this, deep penetration and rapid assimilation of useful elements occurs.
Thermokeratin recovery is a medical procedure that compensates for the entire lack of valuable components, saturating the hairs with keratin, amino acids, and vitamins.In addition, the damaged cuticle layer on the outer surface of the curls is restored, the scales are smoothed, and after that a healthy shine and smoothness of the curls appear.
According to professional hairdressers, thermokeratin is suitable for:
- straightening curly / curly locks;
- restoration of damaged hair after frequent thermal exposure, as well as staining, washing off the coloring pigment;
- return of shine and radiance;
- getting rid of brittleness, dullness, split ends.
Women note that after the restoration procedure, the hair becomes soft to the touch, a beautiful shine appears, especially in sunny weather. By the way, in this way you can extend the effect of staining - the color remains saturated and uniform. Hot keratin treatment shows a good result both in the salon and at home.
Modern professional hair kits allow you to conduct a safe, effective procedure at home - the main thing is to act according to the instructions for use.
The work of the masters in the salon includes several stages:
- washing the scalp and hair with a deep cleansing shampoo (it has a strong effect - it removes sebum, dirt, makeup residues);
- application of the drug;
- washing with a special keratin shampoo;
- drying, styling.

A step-by-step description of using Estel Thermokeratin at home.
- First of all, it is necessary to clean the scalp and hair with special keratin shampoo of the same brand, rinse with warm water.
- Stepping back from the roots 1-2 cm, apply a mask (300 ml), gently massaging the head. It is enough to hold for about 10 minutes. The mask does not require rinsing.
- On top of the applied composition, use a thermal activator (200 ml) for 1 minute.
- Further, both components are washed off with warm water. Experts recommend performing this manipulation 2-3 times, after which you can feel a certain film on the strands - this is normal.
- Upon completion, keratin water (100 ml) is sprayed, which does not require rinsing.
How long does it hold?
The duration of the effect after applying Estel brand hot keratin is about 4 weeks. The result depends not only on the type and condition of the curls, but also on subsequent care. In addition, improperly performed work can lead to bad consequences.
Be sure to follow the recommendations from the instructions. You can also use the product on freshly dyed hair.
Aftercare
Subsequent care is an important step in maintaining the effect of a salon or home restoration procedure. A common mistake is that some women continue to use shampoos / balms for daily washing, however, such products can wash out all the protein, as well as destroy the protective film on the surface of the strands. That is why it is important to use special products, which contain valuable protein.
Professional craftsmen advise to pay attention to shampoos without sulfates and parabens. The assortment of companies often has a line for care after treatment with thermokeratin. By the way, shampoos are sold in large volumes, so they are slowly consumed.
In addition to basic funds, a mask in combination with keratin water shows itself perfectly - judging by the reviews of girls, such a duet (2-3 times a week) works real miracles with hair - it does not make it heavier, it makes it soft and silky.
Reviews
Reviews on the salon procedure, as well as a set for thermokeratin recovery Estel thermokeratin very diverse. Most women notice an amazing effect after the first session. So, salon workers before the procedure hold a consultation where the initial condition, type of hair is determined. An important factor is the type of staining or other thermal manipulations. The higher the degree of damage to the strands, the more keratin services will be needed.
Other clients complain of increased hair loss, oily roots. Such results, according to hairdressers, are associated with the wrong type or initial state of the strands - suffering from seborrhea, alopecia, and high fat content, this service is contraindicated. As for the home use of the complex, the girls observe very good results - the main thing is to clearly follow the instructions for use, and also to develop subsequent care in advance.
