What is keratin hair straightening

Keratin molecules, vitamins, nutrients entering into keratin - everything that makes up natural human hair, penetrates into it during the procedure. This has an intensive beneficial effect on the structure: the membrane, the rod, the stratum corneum, the bulb. The protein keratin itself is considerably compacted in the composition of the hairs.

To whom is suitable

Since keratin strongly weights strands and significantly reduces them in volume, then with a large shock it will only lead the head in order. If the hair, on the contrary, is very brittle, thin and weakened, then it is wrong to expect keratin to cure them. Although the composition is necessary for restoring the structure, after washing it, the state of the hairstyle is many times worse.

I do not see anything terrible in keratizing. The first time I did it in the salon. The effect lasted 3 months. Then I decided to do it myself at home. For this, the main thing is to have a good ironing, otherwise it will not work. My hair is up to my shoulders, so it's easy for me to do myself. Everything worked out. The result is satisfied, and the kit for keratation is enough for another 3-4 procedures.

I have two opinions. On the one hand, the curls are really smooth, they do not crumble, they lie beautifully without daily styling with a plate and during the wind, they do not need to be shaped any more during drying. But the volume was gone, because I almost did not have it. I guess I should have applied keratin only to the top of my head to give it a general appearance.

My hair is very curvy, strongly curly. The hair after keratin straightening was perfectly straight, but not for long, only three weeks. After that, they started to puff up a little, light waves appeared, but the appearance is well-groomed, silky, easy to comb after washing. I like my new hair style. In a couple of months I'll repeat the procedure.
