 One of things we can boast and be pride today is the
incredible progress in the chemistry, extension of the scope of knowledge which
is widely applied by chemists to contribute to the matter of beauty, the beauty
of women. Today women are welcome to visit any beauty salon and have their hair
extended, permed or dyed instead of sitting at home and doing all the
procedures by themselves. This is a good tool to save the time. The procedures
available and offered to women at beauty salons today help them to lose their
curls allowing hair staying healthy instead of using tough procedures at home
and save significant time spent for brushing hair and drying and curling.
Hair relaxation
Chemical hair straightening is also called relaxation. The
effect from hair relaxation is obviously visual and it is extremely comfortable
for the daily care and time saving doing regular straightening. When the hair
is straightened at home with the help of ordinary procedures, it is fairly
difficult to keep it glossy and shiny when it rains or there is high humidity
in the ambient air while the chemical hair relaxation is easy to cope with such
problems.
Hair relaxation makes it straightened slightly or strongly
for two to three months and after a certain period the visit to beauty salon is
required again. The point is that hair roots grow which are curly and such a
hairdo will look incredibly ridiculous if not corrected properly at the proper
time. When the hair relaxation is done again, the specialist applies the
special protective substance to the length of the hair while the hair roots
will be exposed to the relaxing lotion.
The substance with straightening effect
Hair straightening is done when the chemical components
destroy the disulfide chains inside the hair pole and the curl is relaxed
getting straight. The lotion components can vary and it is up to the master to
choose the appropriate one for your hair.
Major components used in relaxing products include sodium
hydroxide and ammonium thioglycolat. Sodium hydroxide is the strong
alkali
reagent that seriously destroys the structure of the hair follicle and
thus, it
is applied for the strongly curled hair. With thepurpose to have it
safe for hair, the scalp is spread with the layer of vaseline before
theproduct is applied on the base of sodium hydroxide and ammonium
thioglycolat. Thioglycolic relaxant is made on creamy
base which work gently and carefully in spite of consisting chemicals
to
destroy the hair structure. It is used for thin hair or when the
radical hair
straightening is not required.
When the hair
is treated by the chemical agents, the effect of the latter is neutralized and
then the hair conditioner is applied to moisturize and fix the effect.
The hair
straightening procedure should be done in beauty salons only since the strong
chemicals are used.
Reasons to
do hair straightening
The stylists
state that all women with curly hair are recommended hair straightening
procedure if they wish to spend less time and efforts to care after their hair.
The extent to which women have curls varies, from the slight wavy hair to the
actually tough African-like springs. When the hair is not silky for any
reasons, the hair relaxation is done to make the tough curls less strong. The hair
is not straight completely though the care is less labor-and time-consuming and
the hair modeling is easier.
Reasons not
to use hair relaxation
There is
nothing to talk about the medical contraindications when the medication is the
treat to health and life of a human being. However, when we care of health and beauty
of our hair we’d better consider all pros and cons and refuse from such a
trendy cosmetic procedure to avoid hair loss.
Chemical hair
straightening is prohibited for bleached hair, the hair dyed with dying agent
with metals, when the locks are damaged and needed in thorough restoration. When
you expose your hair to the particular chemicals, you risk destroying your head
of hair which is then needed to cut with scissors.
Special
instructions
After your
hair is exposed to chemicals, you’d better take a through care of it. You’d
better avoid hair drying or curling or straightening in home conditions. Hair should
be combed carefully without mechanical damage. The hair can be dyed in two to
three weeks after it is straightened.
