Everything you need to know before going to the master so as not to accidentally ruin your hair.
Keratin hair straightening is one of the most popular procedures in beauty salons. The number of fans of keratinization is growing every day, which is not surprising. Many girls dream of well-groomed and perfectly smooth hair. But is this procedure for everyone? Let's figure it out!
With keratin treatment, your hair can be in almost any condition to make keratin straightening. There is no risk of further damage, but it does keep your hair healthy by getting treatment. Most people find that your hair is straight and healthy while at the same time appropriate. Not only does formaldehyde in keratin treatment increase a person's risk of developing leukemia or leukemia, but it can also cause allergies (via Healthline). The CDC warns that exposure to formaldehyde can cause skin, throat, lungs, and even irritation of the eyes.
How keratin affects hair?
Keratin is a protein found in our hair, nails, and skin. As part of a keratinizing agent, it is the main component. During the procedure, the hair is enveloped with a solution, and then dried and straightened with an iron. Thanks to thermal action, each hair is smoothed and sealed, and keratin strengthens the hair and prevents it from breaking. The beauty treatment works well in most cases, and the result can last anywhere from three to six months depending on the type of hair. Despite all the advantages, the procedure has contraindications. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with them.
Short hair:
Keratin straightening is not recommended for owners of short hair. After keratinization, fluffiness disappears, due to which the volume of the hair visually decreases, and the styling will not look spectacular.
Curly hair:
We do not recommend doing keratinization if you have very curly hair. Regrown roots will look ugly with straight hair. Washing the keratin is quite problematic, so you have to wait for your hair to grow back. It's best to use a flat iron and straighten your hair or find a safe alternative to straightening with a hot styler.
Allergies:
In addition to keratin, the product contains other chemicals. Particular attention should be paid to formaldehyde: this preservative is likely to provoke allergies. If you are going to do the procedure, it is better to check if you are allergic to chemical components.
Severe hair loss:
Keratin creates a protective sheath around each hair, thereby thickening it. Weakened hair follicles will not withstand this weight, and the loss will only worsen. If you are faced with such a problem as hair loss, be sure to contact a trichologist: it is always important to start treatment on time.
Skin lesions:
If there are injuries or wounds on the scalp, albeit small ones, you will have to give up the idea of doing keratinization for a while. Chemicals entering the wound will not only corrode it but also negatively affect the state of the whole organism. This can lead to serious health problems, so make sure you don't have even the smallest scratches before going to the master.
