All You Need to Know About Brazilian Hair Straightening
Brazilian hair straightening is known for turning frizzy and curly hair into straight and silky hair with deep volume and shine. It is surely unique and different,as conventional or regular straightening services tend to break the protein bonds within the structure of hair, which causes every strand to reform into a permanently straight shape.
This method is the newest one available to eliminate curls and frizz, and it is also considered completely revolutionary by a plethora of people.The reason behind its popularity is that unlike other chemical hair straightening processes available, the results stay for more time and it is temporary. The effect gradually washes away,leaving you with your Natural Hair texture.
In addition to this, it does not reflect any damage to the hair and can also be done on the hair that has been chemically treated. The process is relatively cheaper than permanent hair straightening and takes far less time. What do you think,too good to be true? Well, let’s see.
A solution with protein is applied to the hair and the protein helps form the structure of the hair.After applying the solution, it is fused onto the outer layer of every hair strand using a flat iron. This strengthens the hair and seals in moisture, which results in silky,shiny,smooth hair. Typically, the results last for 3 months (on non-virgin hair). In fact, it actually works best on chemically treated hair. Virgin hair have closed and flat cuticle layer and it should be open for the Brazilian Hair Straightening treatment to work properly. But there are good chances that even with open cuticle on virgin hair, the results won’t last long as on non-virgin hair.
If you use color in your hair, then it is best to color them right before the treatment. This will help to equalize the hair porosity right from roots to ends,resulting in the most uniform effect possible. As the solution does not penetrate into the inner cortex of the hair, it doesn’t damage the min the way that permanent hair straightening does.
Some pretty stringent rules must be followed for the after-care of a Brazilian hair straightening treatment. Let’s take a look at those:
• Hair must not be washed or tied back in any way for at least 4 complete days. No hair products to be used. In case the hair kinks during that time, use a flat iron to make it smooth.
• In order to maintain the look for longer time, wash hair less frequently. Also, remember that this is a temporary, wash-out treatment. Use a shampoo with no Sodium Chloride. A hair product with UV protection is also important.
• Contact with chlorinated or salt water and excessive sun exposure will reduce the life span of the treatment.
• If you need to take a haircut, it is better to have it after the treatment.
