Of course, there are happy endings, but in practice, every third request in my Direct is about restoring hair after experiments. Hair is brittle, damaged, and it is impossible to restore it without scissors. So, before making a decision, familiarize yourself with the possible consequences.
Perm.
It often contains formaldehyde, which mercilessly destroys the structure of the hair and can cause a burn on the scalp and, as a result, skin problems and hair loss.
Build-up
In short, constant hair tension leads to the development of traction alopecia. As a result, after removing strands, girls lose 30% of their hair.
Lamination.
Remember - this procedure gives only a cosmetic effect that lasts until washing off. The composition covers the hair with a film, through which the components from your care cease to penetrate. And the hair becomes denser, which weighs it down and provokes hair loss, as the load on the hair follicles increases many times.
Botox.
It also gives a temporary effect in the form of shiny and smooth hair. After each wash, the condition of the hair worsens: it dries and breaks. Especially if your hair was thin and porous.
Keratin straightening.
Yes, hair mainly consists of keratin, and it is this that makes it luxurious after the procedure. But the composition also contains formaldehyde, which destroys the hair structure and increases the sensitivity of the skin. And when heated with an iron, the composition emits vapors that immediately enter the body and have a harmful effect on it. ☝ Formaldehyde is sometimes hidden under another name. ⠀
Long-term styling (carving)
These toxic substances in the mixture for the procedure destroy disulfide bonds, and without them, hair loses its elasticity and strength. It is more easily injured and broken. ⠀
Is it worth it? Only you decide! Personally, I am in favor of comprehensive natural care with a cumulative effect.
