Hair dryer
The first alternative method of hair straightening is the use of a hair dryer. In order not to injure the head of hear, it is desirable to switch it to the cold air flow regime and dry the strands in the direction from the roots to the tips using a special round comb.
Drying with a hair dryer takes a lot of time and effort than ironing, but this method is more gentle and able to protect the hair from the negative effects of high temperature and mechanical damage. Before you start straightening hair with a hair dryer, you need to use a thermal spray.
Professional tools
A good way to straighten hair without using ironing is to use chemical agents for styling.
to the table of contents ^Keratin straightening
Salon cosmetic procedure in which the keratin composition is applied for the alignment and restoration of hair. The essence of keratation is that the microparticles of the main component penetrate into the structure of the hair, enrich it and protect it.
To begin with, the hair is washed with a deep cleaning shampoo. The protein-keratin composition is applied abundantly on strands and dried with a hair dryer. Then they divide the hair on small strands and draw out with a hot iron. Under the influence of high temperature, the protein folds, and the scales of the hair close. As a result, you get elastic, smooth, shiny and obedient hair, which do not need daily straightening.
Keratin rectification has no age restrictions and any contraindications. If desired, it can be carried out regularly. With proper care, the result can be preserved up to 3 months.
Laminating
The lamination process is that the hair is covered with a special tool that, whendrying creates a protective film on them. It not only prevents the loss of moisture and nutrients, but also saturates the curls with oxygen, beneficial bioactive additives and natural protein.
The method is an ideal option for straightening hair of normal thickness and any length. Thin problem hair after the procedure will temporarily look better, but when the protective layer is washed off, they will become even weaker. Therefore, immediately before lamination it is necessary to carry out treatment and restoration of damaged strands.
This color helps to preserve the color longer. For transparent lamination, it is enough to hold a special mask on your hair for about 30 minutes and then wash it off. Also for the lamination, color means are produced, with which you can give the desired color to the hair.
Depending on further care, the effect after such a straightening lasts from 3 to 6 weeks.
to table of contents ^Cream
Smoothing cream impregnates hair, making it heavy and thus straightening. They are able to protect curls from the effects of ultraviolet and high temperature, and also feed them with useful substances.
However, the oily components of some creams contribute to the rapid contamination of hair, and to avoid this effect, the cream can be used as an air conditioner.
It's worth remembering that such tools practically do not give any results on hair stained with chemical paints.
