Care and restoration of hair after highlighting

Currently, highlighting is still relevant. Beautiful sun glare, contrasting strands on the hair, illuminating and coloring the tips are the trend of the current season. But after the staining procedure you need to follow your hair with particular zeal, because she was influenced by chemical reagents. How to care for melirovanny hair? In this article, we explore the best ways to care for bleached strands and give practical advice on restoring the structure of curls.

Care for melirovanny hair

Immediately after the highlighting procedure, you need to revise the jars and bottles in your bathroom. Among hair care products, there must be moisturizing, non-sulphated shampoos, conditioners, restoring balms and nourishing masks. Shop masks should not be used with every shampooing, but once a week is enough.

If you apply a mask, then it should be noted that some percentage of it will linger between the hair scales. You should not clog them with balm or conditioner.

In ordinary hair washing, it is important to use conditioner or a regenerating balm. 2 in 1 products are not recommended, as they have a weakening regenerating effect.

Another important rule is to wash your hair with lukewarm water. Hot will cause enormous harm, and cold will simply be very hard on the scalp. Choose a temperature around 30 ° С. But it is ideal, in practice, choose so that it was comfortable.

We must not forget the tips. After staining, they are particularly prone to strong cross-section. They need to be moistened with oils, serums, fluids suitable for the type of hair.

Also recommended 2 times a month make homemade masks. They are prepared on the basis of citrus juice with the addition of honey. You can combine any vegetable oils with this composition.

Rinse with a decoction of medicinal herbs will have a good effect in the care of melirovanny hair. You can use mint, chamomile, oregano, rosehip, hawthorn. Do not recommend a decoction of nettle, as it slightly dims the light color.

It is not recommended to use a hairdryer, as well as tongs, curling irons, and other styling tools. It is necessary to purchase a comb from natural materials, best of all - wood, and to monitor its cleanliness.

Hair restoration after highlighting

After such a procedure as highlighting, the hair becomes noticeably dimmer and drier. It is necessary to apply a complex of “therapeutic” measures in order to further enjoy the luxury of curls.

Professional tools can intensively restore the structure of damaged curls. There is a wide selection on the market, but According to reviews, the best are:

• Estel Curex Therapy.
• Estel Haute Color & Revive.
• Estel Otium Miracle.
• Biotene H-24 shampoo, balsam, serum.

All of these products contain silicones or parabens, which is important for many girls. True, in this case they are more good than harm. Also these preparations contain natural oils and extracts.

But if you are an adherent of completely organic cosmetics, then it is worth resorting to the use of homemade masks, in which the main role is played by oils: cocoa butter, coconut, sea buckthorn, apricot kernel, jojoba, olive, coconut, burdock, castor. They are applied to the hair individually, mixing with each other, or as part of other masks.

Also, homemade masks can be prepared based on the following ingredients:

• Banana + sour cream.
• Egg + honey.
• Kiwi + butter + honey.
• Vitamins + oils + honey.
• Kefir.
• Egg yolk + gelatin.

The duration of treatment depends only on how badly the hair has been damaged. These masks should be used every 3 days for two months before washing your hair.

For the transition to your color, it is recommended to carry out gradual toning in order to damage less overdried curls.

Recovery is required not only from the outside, but also from the inside. Need to regularly drink vitamins and fish oil. After frequent staining and lightening, hair can fall out intensively. This problem is easier to prevent than to deal with it.

Consequences of highlighting

Highlighting is the bleaching of hair with oxygenating agent (perohydrol). As a rule, a strong chemical is selected in 6–9%, which, when applied, penetrates deep into each hair, destroying its structure and bringing its inherent pigment.

The wrong time of exposure can harm your curls - more than the time stated by the manufacturer, or the wrong percentage of oxygenating agent, - for example, you have thin light-blond curls, and you take a clarifier of 6–9%.

In addition, very often after dyeing resorted to toning hair resistant dyes, which include ill-fated ammonia. This component of permanent dyes can significantly harm your strands. How and how to tint the hair after highlighting, about the benefits of the procedure, read on our website.

Effects after using perohydrol and ammonia:

• burning the hair and the appearance of unpleasant yellow or copper shades,
• the curls lose water, therefore they become dry and lifeless,
• dandruff appears on the scalp,
• you notice a lot of broken hair
• the curls are poorly styling,
• there is too much hair left on the comb and after washing in the bathroom
• the effect of "spider", when with a strong humidity of air on the head is formed as if the mesh of the upper layers of the hair.

For many girls, after highlighting, hair becomes like straw, - dull and inanimate strands greatly disappoint their owners.

Council of Professionals. To minimize the detrimental effects of the dye, purchase not dyed paint, but tint balsams or tonics. Of course, they linger on the hair for a short time (2-3 weeks), but they do not have such a negative impact.

To avoid all the above unpleasant effects of discoloration, professionals in the hairdressing industry unanimously declare the need for hair care after highlighting.

How to care for hair after

Burned hair highlighting? Do not despair, because the beauty and health of your curls will help return care for melirovannyh hair at home. For this:

1. Immediately after the procedure, use a balsam conditioner or conditioner (they are included in the set to the dye). This mandatory measure is necessary to restore the water balance, since after bleaching the hairs lose water.
2. It is also recommended to purchase a special shampoo from the series "For melirovanny hair" or tint balm, which consists of vitamins, trace elements, keratin and mineral water. The first tool will make the curls silky, crumbly and allow for a long time to fix the result of painting. The second, in addition, is designed to eliminate yellowing, since it consists of purple particles that neutralize the unpleasant color.
3. The following dyeing procedure can be carried out at least in 2 months, because the curls should be properly restored. The only exceptions are tint balsams and shampoos, which can tint the head after a couple of days after bleaching.
4. Minimize blow-dry and styling with thermo-devices and fixtures. The fact is that hot air can adversely affect the already weak hair. If, however, you can’t do without a hair dryer, then try to use only cold windmills, which should be directed from top to bottom along the hairline (so that the scales stick together and make a smooth surface).
5. We eliminate all methods of mechanical damage: combing wet hair, rubbing the movement of curls on a towel in the process of drying, which almost every woman has sinned. If you go outside in the summer, do not forget about the hat.
6. After highlighting at home it is recommended to make special masks that will ensure the restoration of curls. They are prepared on the basis of fruit, honey, kefir, egg yolk and various oils.

Many women do not understand why balms and masks for melirovanny hair act weakly. Perhaps the problem lies in their composition or incompatibility with your curls. But in most cases they are simply incorrectly applied.

An important point! Balms and masks for melirovanny hair need to be distributed not on wet, but on slightly damp hair. This means that after washing, be sure to dry curls.

If after highlighting hair falls out, then take active measures:

• Massage the scalp with massages, especially at bedtime (this is done to improve blood supply),
• choose natural hairbrushes or wooden combs,
• make nutritious cocktails (you can buy special vitamin supplements, keratin in a professional hair cosmetics shop),
• start eating properly (foods containing calcium, phosphorus, protein, fiber, vitamin E and tannins should be in the diet),
• Start taking vitamins for pregnant or lactating mothers, for example "Elevit".

How to restore hair

The question of how to cure hair after highlighting, asks each of the three women, resorted to the procedure of dyeing. The factors that provoke negative consequences can be:

• wrong bleach or dye,
• failure to comply with the exposure time
• too aggressive effect on perohydrol curls, which leads to unpleasant yellowness or copper tint,
• mechanical damage to hair
• additional destruction of the curl structure due to constant exposure to the sun,
• too frequent staining
• lack of vitamins and minerals.

So how to restore bleached hair?

It is possible to treat hair after highlighting at home or by applying salon procedures. It should be noted that the cost of the latter varies in the range of 1,500–9,000 thousand rubles, depending on:

• type of procedure
• prestige salon,
• length of hair.

At home, hair treatment after highlighting will cost you much cheaper.

Lamination curls

Experts recommend immediately after highlighting to carry out the procedure of lamination of the hair, but only with a colorless composition.

Lamination is the sealing of hair, that is, the application of special products that completely envelop each hair, creating a protective film. According to the girls, until the lamination has exhausted its resources, the hair is well combed, glistening and look like “5 points”. Especially true for long hair, which is strongly confused during sleep.

The advantages of lamination hair:

• the hair shines
• the hair is perfectly smooth because the scales stick to the rod,
• color is preserved
• no need to make masks and regenerating cocktails.

The cost of the procedure is 2500–5600.

Botox after highlighting

Botox for hair has nothing to do with the acupuncture procedure. The procedure involves the application of special serums, which include keratin, elastin, hyaluronic acid, vitamins, amino acids and vegetable oils. Thanks to their valuable properties it is provided:

• shine and friability,
• color preservation
• improvement of the scalp,
• brittleness and shallowness of hair decreases.

Attention! As with the lamination procedure, the effect will be short - a maximum of 2 months. Each serum manufacturer recommends fixing the result with a balm or blow-dry.

The cost of the procedure is about 1500-3500 rubles.

How to organize the correct care for bleached hair at home?

With properly organized care for bleached hair, it is necessary to prevent the deterioration of the quality of the hair, to prevent them from breaking and falling.

• In no case do not use a hair dryer and forceps.

Since the natural coloring of hair is destroyed during highlighting, women with naturally blond hair and girls with highlighted strands should look after them differently.

When caring for melirovannyh hair the main thing - do not let them dry out and break. Experienced hair care professionals advise that after bleaching for a period of time, do not use hair dryers, irons, tongs and other hair care appliances.

If you want to improve the condition of your hair, special attention should be paid to shampoos that you use. A frightening figure - in 97% of shampoos of famous brands are substances that poison our body. The main components, due to which all the troubles, on the labels are designated as sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, coco sulfate. These chemicals destroy the structure of the hair, the hair becomes brittle, lose elasticity and strength, the color fades. But the worst thing is that this filth enters the liver, heart, lungs, accumulates in the organs and can cause cancer. We advise against using the means in which these substances are located. Recently, experts of our editorial staff conducted an analysis of sulfate-free shampoos, where the first place was taken by funds from the company Mulsan Cosmetic. The only manufacturer of all-natural cosmetics. All products are manufactured under strict quality control and certification systems. We recommend to visit the official online store mulsan.ru. If you doubt the naturalness of your cosmetics, check the expiration date, it should not exceed one year of storage.

• Do not use cosmetics that cause hair drying.

When caring for discolored strands, try not to use varnishes, foams and gels for normal hair care. It is better to replace them with natural serums and oils used for the tips of the strands.

The problem is that foams, lacquers form a film on the surface of the hair, which prevents their breathing. In some cases, it is possible, if necessary, to cover the hair with a thin layer of varnish with weak fixation, but its regular use should be excluded.

• Avoid exposure to sunlight on hair.

After finishing the process of highlighting, try to be as little as possible in the sun. Hair contains a small amount of natural moisture, and therefore it is necessary to pay special attention to the reproduction of fluid balance.

UV rays do not allow the balance to be restored. Refrain from visiting beach places and tanning beds. When you leave the house on a sunny day, do not forget to wear caps, hats, hats that protect your strands. You can also use specially designed sprays to protect your hair.

• How to massage the head?

To prevent damage to bleached hair, try to regularly perform massage of the skin, which contains the roots of melirovannyh hair. Massage is a way to induce new hair growth and restore weakened strands. For massage, you can use brushes made from natural bristles and specially designed for skin massage.

Wash your head in warm water.

For washing bleached strands of great importance is the temperature of the water. Strands went through a complicated procedure, and therefore they need to be protected from irritation.Highly heated water qualitatively eliminates contamination of the hair, but it also cleans the hair strands from the protective layer and destroys the natural moisture. Hair should be rinsed with a little heated water.

• What cosmetic products are needed to care for bleached strands?

Careful care for bleached hair is possible only if you use only high quality products. After highlighting in the hair remains alkali, which worsens the condition of the hair. Therefore, during the first two weeks after highlighting, it is advisable to wash your head with a special shampoo for bleached hair.

This shampoo differs from other detergents in a more acidic environment and neutralizing the effects of alkalis, and the protein components allow the reproduction of the irritated structure of the hair. Shampoo enhances the effectiveness of staining strands, giving them a more healthy and beautiful look.

• How to comb hair after highlighting procedure?

Of great importance is what comb hair.

It is better to exclude the use of plastic combs, even branded production. A more suitable option is a comb made of wood with large teeth or made of soft silicone.

How to choose a home mask to strengthen the condition of hair after bleaching?

For hair care after bleaching the right approach will use folk remedies, including protective masks of different types:

1. Made from egg yolk. Take two egg yolks and process bleached hair with them. Wrap them in cellophane from above and tie them with a kerchief. Wait 20-30 minutes and wash your hair with a mild shampoo.
2. Mask of fruit acids. Thoroughly chop and mix the halves of a banana, kiwi, mandarin or grapefruit. Apply the mixture to the streaked strands and wait 15 minutes, then wash your head from the mixture.
3. Mask of kefir. Take half a cup of kefir and one spoonful of olive oil, mix thoroughly. Cover the hair with this mixture, hold for half an hour. Then rinse with shampoo in warm water.
4. Mask of germinated cereals. To prepare it, find the oil from the germinated cereals. Rub it into the skin of the head with gentle movements, wait 20-30 minutes, then wash off the mask.

Now it should be clear to you that the care of the scalp after bleaching is not so difficult, but must be carefully thought out and properly performed.

We protect the streaked curls from the sun

Summer is coming, and your hair will be exposed to additional ultraviolet radiation. Try to stay less in the sun with your head uncovered. Leaving after highlighting involves a series of tools designed specifically for this.

In most cases, hair without styling can not be perfect. Using hair dryers, ironing, curling and other devices, we again create additional damage to our curls. Reviews reveal several secrets for styling after highlighting, which will allow you to make a hairstyle without heat exposure.

How does highlighting affect hair condition?

Highlighting is a procedure for lightening or dyeing individual strands of hair. Highlighting is a hairdresser's procedure for lightening or dyeing individual strands of hair with the help of special chemicals. Depending on the desired effect, the percentage of harmful chemicals varies from 2 to 12%. That is, highlighting has a more negative than a positive effect on the hair structure. Despite the fact that only a part of the strands is colored, the overall condition of the hair becomes worse.

After the highlighting procedure, the hair loses its former appearance, becomes weakened, dull. In order to restore them, you have to spend a lot of strength and energy. Do not be discouraged, because everything is reversible, and the power to the hair follicles is required in any case. The main thing is to carry out all the necessary procedures for treatment.

Proper hair care after highlighting

Damaged hair requires more careful care. Buy a number of important specialized products in advance in the form of shampoos, balsams, as well as masks. Remember that they should be marked on the use of melirovannyh hair.

To restore the structure is best to use burdock oil. It is applied to the entire length of the streaked hair. You need to walk with him for at least an hour, then wash your hair thoroughly. Oil should be used thrice a week. It contributes to the speedy recovery and rapid hair growth.

As a conditioner, it is better to use professional products, and then apply chamomile or nettle decoctions. Chamomile is better to use if the hair is blond, and nettle is used in the presence of dark strands. The decoction is done very simply: a tablespoon of dry chamomile powder or nettle, you need to boil a liter of water, let it brew until it cools, drain and rinse the hair after the main balm. Healing herbs contribute to the closure of hair flakes, which will make them stronger.

1. recovery. You can buy it at any professional cosmetics store. You can evaluate the effectiveness of the product after a week of use.
2. It is strictly forbidden to dry the hair with the hair dryer for the first two weeks, because the strands are already dried out. In the future, the use of hair dryer is possible only with the use of thermoprotective sprays, gels or mousses.
3. To restore the structure of the hair follicles will help vitamins that need to be taken orally. Preparations of calcium, magnesium, zinc contribute to the rapid recovery.
4. Exterior application of vitamins A, B1, B12, E by rubbing one hour before washing your hair will also strengthen your weakened strands.
5. Nutritious masks for the weakened melirovanny locks promote filling of hair with the moistening substances.
6. Keratin-based tip sprays contribute to their gluing and sealing.
7. Combing the straightened strands while they are wet is not advised, because they are already weakened, and the comb hurts them even more.
8. The head massage after washing contributes to the activation of blood circulation, which enhances the nutrition of the follicles.
9. Very useful masks, which are based on fruit. Thanks to them, your strands will have a luxurious look and shine. To prepare the mask, it is enough to grind kiwi and honey in the same proportions. The mixture should stay on the hair for no more than twenty minutes. After applying the mask, rinse hair thoroughly.
10. Egg yolks have a restorative function. One yolk should be mixed with 75 grams of burdock oil. In the resulting composition, you can add half a banana (suppress it in advance) and two or three drops of lemon juice. On the hair mask should stay at least thirty minutes. After rinsing, you will experience an extraordinary brightness of color and brilliance.
11. As a rule, highlighting is not a one-time procedure, since hair grows quickly and the difference in color becomes noticeable. In order to protect the already dyed strands, do the highlighting procedure only on the grown roots.
12. Professional products in the form of liquid keratins, which strengthen the hair along its entire length, enveloping it in a special case, have a very good influence. At the same time, hair becomes less sensitive to thermal styling with a hairdryer or iron.

Special care

Since the strands are partly traumatized by discoloration, timely care for the hair after highlighting must be carefully and sparingly.

1. Wash the washed hair must be under warm water. You can finish washing with a small cold shower for your hair - this will give them a healthy shine and strength.
2. Head massage is a good tool to accelerate hair growth, use a massage brush for at least ten minutes a day.
3. You can not comb too wet, wet hair, you must definitely wait until they dry out, because when wet they are more prone to loss.
4. Hair should be protected from excessive sun exposure, as well as water with bleach, so after highlighting, it is better to limit sunbathing and swimming. If you go out in the sun, then in advance, take care to wear a hat, or apply a special spray on your hair to protect it from the sun. After visiting the pool, the hair should be thoroughly rinsed, as bleached strands may turn green from bleach.
5. It is advisable to avoid using curling irons or curling irons, as they additionally injure hair. Frequent blow-drying is also not recommended, it is best to try not to dry your hair at all in a similar way.

Screening

If you often dye, color or curl strands, shielding will help to bring your hair in perfect order. It is carried out with the aim of achieving a large volume and giving a model shine.

The composition of special tools include natural oils that feed the curls from the inside. In addition, a screen (protective surface) is formed on the hair, which takes on mechanical damage and the destructive impact of the environment.

In contrast to lamination, not only the cosmetic effect of the film is achieved along the entire length of the curls, but also their treatment takes place. The cost of the procedure is 2500–9000 rubles, depending on the qualifications of the master and the composition of cosmetic preparations.

Care products

There are many brands of professional cosmetics, which will make the curls more beautiful and well-groomed. The most popular among cosmetic products for the care of curls:

• Botox serums from L'Oreal, Callos and Honma Tokyo (the latter does not have formaldehydes in composition),

• Supplements with lecithin, extracts from plants,
• vegetable oils (olive, coconut, burdock), which can be purchased at any pharmacy or even a grocery store.

An important point! If you want to preserve the hair color after highlighting for a long time, it is better not to use deep-acting preparations on the curl structure. Therefore, we recommend discarding burdock and olive oil at first after clarification.

If you break, split curls, it is imperative to apply repair agents, namely hair masks after highlighting. They feed every hair from the inside, allow you to adjust the lipid balance and add shine. But you don’t have to buy masks at a professional cosmetics store, because you can easily make them at home.

Firming mask based on beer and clay

You will need:

• blue clay (available at any cosmetics store),
• beer,
• 1 egg yolk,
• a few drops of burdock oil.

Cooking: At the very beginning you should combine a pair of clay spoons with egg yolk. Be sure to rub the clay in the yolk well with a regular fork. Add 1 tbsp. a spoonful of beer and a few drops of burdock oil.

Application: The product is distributed on the scalp and hair. The hair is wrapped first with cellophane and then with a towel. Hold a composition of about 30 minutes. Washed with lukewarm water to prevent the yolk from starting to curl on the hair.

Fruit Honey Mask

What to do if you have dry hair? Of course, provide them with proper hydration. The next version of the mask will be able to restore the water balance at the expense of fruits and feed the curls with useful components that are part of honey.

You will need:

• 1 small grapefruit without a crust,
• 1 kiwi,
• 1 tbsp. l liquid honey (necessarily natural).

The preparation of the mask is very simple. It is enough to grind citrus and kiwi in a blender to a state of homogeneous gruel (the juice does not need to be poured). Now in the resulting fruit cocktail pour a spoonful of viscous honey. Mix well.

Application: put on the hair for 15 minutes, then washed with warm water.

Night mask based on herbal decoction

The beauty of your curls and healthy shine will provide a decoction based on chamomile flowers and sage. Remember, a decoction of burdock, oak bark, nettle, onion peel, you can simply rinse your hair after each washing procedure (no restrictions!).

You will need:

• a handful of crushed sage leaves,
• 1 tbsp. l chamomile flowers
• 1 egg yolk.

Cooking: mix herbs and steam them with boiling water. Leave to infuse and cool for an hour. Add yolk and whisk well (you can use an ordinary whisk). Distribute the product throughout the hair, wrap your head with a plastic bag and quietly go to sleep. In the morning, wash the curls with warm water.

Nutritious masks need to be done 1 time per week. Moisturizers try to apply after each shampooing. Do not be permanent in the repairing ingredients, because the hair gets used to it very quickly and the effect will not be noticed.

As you can see, it is not necessary to empty the wallet to ensure the silkiness and shine of the curls, because homemade hair masks for hair are not worse than store counterparts. But, if you are not a supporter of independent hair care, then order the procedure of lamination, screening or Botox in the salon.

It is important to remember that after highlighting it is worth as little as possible to use curling iron, hair dryer, ironing and not to overheat the curls. They are very fragile at this time, the additional thermal load will have a very bad service.

Where to start recovery: practical tips

Of course, to restore and heal hair after highlighting, you will have to resort to "Internal" tactics. That is, you need to switch to a healthy diet and take multivitamin complexes, especially if the curls have ceased to grow and greatly disappoint you with their current length.

This can happen if you are painted with poor-quality paint, or the master did not have the proper competence, "Overdoing" with time keeping the composition on the curls. If the problem is very pronounced and neglected, you will have to visit a qualified trichologist to help you reconstruct your hair and return it to more or less "Living" condition

But an important stage of hair restoration after highlighting is local care.

Oils for the restoration of streaked hair

Many women who have tried the effect of basic vegetable oils on themselves recommend to others just such an approach. Oil compresses are suitable after dyeing hair of any type.

Hair care with oils is quite effective. Especially if you use it constantly, and provide it on a regular basis. Unfortunately, the oils that your curls soak up have a cumulative effect, and therefore the hair should Get used to to oil care, which traditionally occurs within one month.

But if you apply the oil correctly and often, you will be able to achieve truly amazing results not only after highlighting, but also after full bleaching.

Which oil to choose?

Maintain oil on the hair should be a certain amount of time, depending on its fat content and penetrating ability.

• Oils with high density and low penetrating power are aged on curls for at least 8-10 hours (it is most convenient to perform the procedure in the evening before bedtime). This category should include olive, sunflower, burdock and castor oil. The exception in this regard is the use of these tools as part of multicomponent masks,
• Oils with an average density and penetrating power are held on the head for 3-4 hours, again, if they are applied purely pure. This type of oil includes cocoa butter, shi, wheat germ, argan and macadamia,
• Oils with low density and high penetrating power are absorbed into the cortex almost instantly - just half an hour is enough for the product to start efficiently. "work". Therefore, they can withstand no more than one and a half hours. This type of oil includes seed oil (grape, apricot, peach), jojoba, sesame, avocado, broccoli. By the way, the last product is proudly styled "Natural silicone", because it really provides an instant beauty effect, coupled with a delicate and effective internal care.

If you are quite conservative in your choice, and plan to use good old oils from the first category to reconstruct curls, you can slightly reduce their density and fat content by diluting the composition with a few drops of essential oils. In addition to the fact that the effect of the base oil itself will be significantly enhanced, it will intensify due to the action of tannins and organic acids that make up the essential concentrates.

We recommend trying oils as ether:

1. Lavender
2. Cinnamon,
3. Grapefruit
4. Bitter orange,
5. Tea tree,
6. Palmarozy,
7. Ylang Ylang,

How else to restore bleached hair?

In principle, oil care will be quite enough. But if you want to deliberately enhance the intended action, try to supplement this treatment with rinsing after washing your hair.

Oily compress

The compress from oil does not assume any special difficulties in the execution.

To make it, it is enough to perform a few simple actions:

• Purchase basic vegetable oil (it is advisable to buy oils for purely cosmetic purposes, although edible oils are suitable for this procedure, they do not have sufficient penetrating power and often leave greasy traces on their locks, which is extremely unacceptable for most women)
• Pour a few tablespoons of the product into heat-resistant containers (if you use several oils
  at the same time, you need to mix them in equal proportion, for example, one tablespoon each),
• Put a mug or another selected dish with oil on the steam bath. Warm up to a warm state (remember - oils do not work at all if they are applied at a temperature lower than your body temperature!),
• Slightly moisten the curls with ordinary warm water from a spray bottle (it is not recommended to wet the curls under running water plentifully in this case),
• Apply the oil to the hair along the entire length, paying special attention to the damaged tips,
• Wrap your head with plastic wrap or a cap to ensure the hair greenhouse effect,
• Knit a warm towel over the film or cap (you can warm it up by ironing it with a hot iron).

Herbal decoctions and rinse infusions

What else can be treated hair after highlighting?

In this regard, you will help phytotherapeutic decoctions and infusions that need to be used as a conditioner, or a liquid hair conditioner.

Along with oils, their use will help you:

• Stop hair loss,
• Strengthen the bulbs and roots of curls,
• Smooth the structure over the entire length,
• "Solder" split ends
• Increase natural density and volume
• Awaken sleeping follicles,
• Give curls shine, elasticity and "Friability".

As a base for the manufacture of decoctions and infusions can be used a variety of plants, herbs and flowers.

• Peppermint,
• Stinging nettle,
• Hypericum
• Hop cones,
• Calendula flowers,

1. Take a tablespoon of several plants (pre-dried and shredded),
2. Fill the resulting composition with half liter boiling water,

Attention: rinse needles should be used only when the head is completely cleared of shampoo and conditioner!

Of course, you can resort to salon services to restore curls after chemical damage. But do not forget that the vast majority of professional procedures do not carry any therapeutic effect. Their action is directed only on instant "Cinderella effect", that is, purely visual reconstruction. And some services do not even carry such a result, being a simple deception and advertising.

Be irresistible in any situation!

Highlighting: what is its danger?

Highlighting is the procedure for clarifying or coloring individual strands. To achieve the desired effect mixtures of paint or lightening powder with oxygenates of different saturation are used. The percentage of the active substance depends on the original hair color and can vary from 1.9 to 12%.

The softer the composition, the less it is harmful to the hair, but a weak oxygenator gives only a slight brightening. Those who want to get the lightest shade will have to use a more concentrated oxygenator and repeat the procedure 2-3 times.

The oxygenator penetrates the rod, lifting keratin flakes and neutralizing the natural color pigment. The more of it, the longer the procedure lasts.

Eventually:

• hair becomes dry, dehydrated, and porous,
• injured rods split (the disturbed keratin layer makes them fragile and dull),
• dark strands that have been brightened acquire a persistent straw yellow shade that looks unaesthetic.

To get rid of it, curls are subjected to staining or toning.

A single highlighting with lightening for 3-4 tones has almost no effect on the appearance and health of the hair. But re-treatment, which is carried out after 3 months or even earlier, worsens the condition of the strands already affected by the primary bleaching.

Particularly affected are hair that undergo frequent highlighting with strong lightening (up to level 10), as well as curls that constantly discolor at the roots. Strands become lifeless, they are difficult to comb, after washing, hair is strayed into a shapeless lump.

Hair Care Tips

For many years, women around the world dye their hair in different colors. Fashion for a particular color changes with enviable regularity, so you should pay attention to high-quality expensive dyes, so as not to harm the hair during the next color change.

Highlighting became fashionable relatively recently, but very quickly gained popularity among the majority of the fair sex. Many women and girls prefer this type of coloring, because this is an opportunity to refresh their hair, and to diversify the usual way. With the help of highlighting you can make the strands brighter and add interesting shades.

If in the past natural paints, such as basma or henna, were used in coloring, today, in pursuit of fashion, it is simply impossible to do without more active agents. After any hair dyeing, careful restoration is necessary so that the hair becomes healthy and shiny again. Even fair-haired girls who want to add blond strands to their hairstyle will have to risk the health of their hair, because highlighting is always done with the help of strong dyes.

If you are a brunette, the “blow” to your hair will be twice as strong. Of course, coloring can significantly spoil your hair, but if you want to look great regardless of the complexity of the procedure, then correctly select the appropriate care.

Some tips from professional hairdressers on hair care.

1. For a while, give up the hairdryer and the iron to align the strands after highlighting. Your hair has already gone through stress, so it is better to put aside ideas of various creative hairstyles for a while. If you cannot walk with hair sticking out in all directions, then for the first couple of months, tie them in a bun or braid them. Thus, you will look stylish and give your hair time to recover after highlighting. If, immediately after highlighting, you begin to regularly make yourself complex hairstyles and styling, then only aggravate the problem of damaged hair. Be sure to tie at night is not a tight braid, so that hair is not injured on the bedding.
2. After highlighting the hair, exclude foams, varnishes and styling gels from your daily care. At the time of hair restoration after highlighting, your best friends should be natural oils and hair care serums. Varnishes and foams create a layer that prevents your hair from breathing. Of course, if you have an important event or a meeting, then apply a little lacquer with weak fixation, but for every day use only means to care for damaged hair.
3. After highlighting the hair exclude a long stay in the sun. Immediately after dyeing, your hair has lost almost all natural moisture, so it is very important to restore the water balance in order to look great again. Ultraviolet rays not only give a luxurious tan to our body, but also dry the strands. It is better to refuse to visit the beaches and tanning a couple of months after staining. Try to highlight hair during the cold seasonso that even in the city the hair is not exposed to the destructive power of the sun's rays. If the situation develops in such a way that a long stay under the sun cannot be avoided, get a hat, cap or hat to protect your hair. Additionally apply a protective spray with a high level of SPF.
4. Try to expose less straightened hair hard water from the tap. To do this, pre-boil and cool the water to wash your hair, discard for a while from visiting the pool and the beach. Salt water also has a detrimental effect on your hair, so limit yourself to just washing your head with warm water a couple of times a week. If you have the opportunity, be sure to use spring water to wash your hair, because it is soft and perfectly cleans the strands.
