Why is my hair oily after keratin straightening?

Keratin is a protein that is part of the hair structure. Its deficiency causes brittleness and loss of shine in curls. Over time they fall out. You can restore it using keratin straightening. These procedures have healing and healing properties. Even if the strands are curly, you can still make them straight. After this, you can give your hair the desired volume. Essential oil helps you recover. It is advisable not to dye your curls for a while. To keep them looking good, it is recommended not to curl them.

Hair restoration can be performed using two methods: “Brazilian” and “American”. It is better to have them done in a professional salon. Their difference is that the second method is performed without the use of formaldehyde (components that destroy the condition of the strands).

Purpose of the procedure

Straightening can be done in the following cases:

• Procedures are required if hair is curly. This applies to thick curls, and when styling is difficult. As a result, volume will appear, and this will make it easier to create different hairstyles. And essential oil is used for restoration. It is advisable to dye your hair after a recovery course.
• The procedures are suitable for all hair types. All curls, including oily ones, are noticeably transformed. The strands will become noticeably shiny. To give volume and a healthy look, you need to do this procedure.

Features of the procedure

The procedure takes 2 hours and includes several stages:

1. A special shampoo allows you to cleanse your hair of dirt and other products.
2. Then you can apply the protein-keratin product. Cosmetics should not be applied close to the roots.
3. After this, the strands should be dried with a hairdryer.
4. The iron is heated to 230 degrees, after which it processes the hair.

During work, you should not dye the strands; this work should be done after restoration procedures. Hair care after keratin straightening should be carried out constantly using medicinal products.

Pros and cons of keratin straightening

Despite the certain risk caused by inhaling formaldehyde fumes, the procedure has several advantages:

1. The result of straightening is a healthy appearance of curls. They are protected from tangling and are easier to style. Even rainy weather does not cause fluffiness.
2. Long-term preservation of the effect of smooth hair - up to six months.
3. Application of the composition will provide your hair with reliable protection from the harmful effects of weather factors and temperature fluctuations.
4. The hair is not electrified, and the styling is maintained even under a hat, which is especially important in winter.

Important! Curls dyed before keratin straightening retain their color longer, but the original shade becomes 1-2 shades lighter.

If you look at photographs of clients before and after the procedure, it is difficult to realize that the effect was achieved through harmful effects on the hair. Hairdressers rarely talk about such disadvantages:

1. Hair treated with formaldehyde will become too heavy for follicles damaged by dyeing or other external factors. Excessive load will cause it to fall out.
2. Under conditions of heaviness, the strands will straighten and the volume will decrease.
3. Owners of thin curls should abandon keratin styling, as the result will upset them with an even greater decrease in the density of their hair.
4. After treatment, the impregnation will intensify under the influence of sebum. The hair washing interval will be reduced to 1-2 days. Frequent exposure to shampoo does not have the best effect on the health of the hair and root zone.
5. Denaturation of liquid protein requires intense thermal exposure, which is provided by the straightener at an operating mode of 230 degrees, and this causes serious damage.
6. The use of formaldehyde mixtures is accompanied by side effects such as intoxication and dizziness due to inhalation of vapors when heated.

The harm from keratin preparations is undeniable. Whether the beauty of hair is worth such sacrifices is up to the client to decide. Of no small importance is the qualifications of the hairdresser and the quality of the product used in the processing process.

You should not try to repeat the procedure at home, as incorrectly chosen temperature conditions or the slightest deviations from the instructions can worsen your hair. The possibility of poisoning due to inhalation of formaldehyde vapor cannot be excluded.

The disadvantages of the procedure include

In some cases, curls can fall out quickly. This can happen with home and professional treatments. The reasons for this phenomenon may be a violation of the procedure and the wrong choice of protein composition.

The result of the work depends on the condition of the hair. If they were constantly dyed, the result may be unpredictable. This also applies to improper care, after which the hair began to fall out. To keep the negative consequences to a minimum, you need to follow simple recommendations:

1. During the procedure, the keratin composition can be kept for 30 minutes.
2. When using the iron, it is necessary not to overheat it more than 230 degrees.
3. You need to take proper care of your hair after straightening. For keratin restoration, it is necessary to choose products in which formaldehyde contains no more than 0.2%. In this case, the consequences will not be negative.

How I found my ideal hair growth product

Hello dear! I want to share with you my solution to the sensitive problem of hair loss . The problems are very serious, at least for me. I would never have thought that this misfortune would touch me, especially at the age of 29 (read more...)

1. weakening of the bulb: it becomes difficult to hold very heavy hair;
2. the product applied to the hair contains chemical compounds, such as the carcinogen formaldehyde, which over time destroys the hair’s own keratin layer, causing it to become depleted;
3. improper care, in particular, too frequent washing (more than once a week) with sulfate-containing shampoos, the use of “brute force” - curling irons and flat irons, elastic bands, hair clips, visiting a bathhouse;
4. ending up with an unqualified specialist who burns your hair with an iron and uses cheap products. A high-quality product should contain at least 40% sheep wool protein, which can saturate and strengthen hair, while inexpensive analogues include artificial keratin, which dries hair, and even then in tiny quantities - 5-10%, but they are replete with chemicals;
5. hair fell out initially;
6. The patient had scalp diseases.

This article examines why this can happen, how to deal with this heavy price for temporary beauty, and also how folk remedies and the hands of a master can help.

• ceramic iron.

First you need to wash your hair using a special shampoo that contains keratin molecules. Then the head must be dried with a towel and a hairdryer. The curls should become completely dry. Then they should be collected at the back of the head, divided into strands and updated with the help of a straightening agent. The composition must be placed in a spray bottle in advance. After this, the strands must be combed, which is necessary for deep penetration of the composition into the shaft.

The product should be on the hair for about 15 minutes. Then they are dried with a hairdryer, and brushing is used for this. The hair must be separated into strands, after which they are treated with keratin serum. After this the procedure is completed.

Customer Reviews

Any procedure has positive and negative sides. Reviews about the consequences of keratin hair straightening are also different. This can easily be explained by the individual characteristics of the structure of the curl, which leads to different consequences of the use of smoothing compounds.

Julia, Voronezh

Pros:

• wonderful effect;
• intensive nutrition;
• hair looks well-groomed.

Cons: none found.

I have long wanted to try this procedure for myself. I found all the details on the Internet and studied the list of the most popular drugs, as well as the duration of the effect of their use. After consulting with a qualified professional, I decided I was ready to give it a try.

The process took considerable time, about four hours. I washed my hair with shampoo three times; on the last application, the product was left for about 15 minutes to absorb. Afterwards, a keratin composition is applied and each strand is pulled out very carefully so as not to burn the curls. The temperature setting of the iron is different for each hair type.

Then the applied mixture is thoroughly washed off. Hair is treated with balm. The product is left for 15-20 minutes. Next, the mask is washed off and the hair is dried with a hairdryer. The effect of perfectly smooth strands, even and shiny, like the models in magazines, simply shocked me. I used to always straighten my long, dyed hair with an iron to make it look more attractive and well-groomed.

I was even more surprised that after the first wash with shampoo without conditioner, the effect did not evaporate. The strands remained straight and looked healthier than before. Compared to lamination, the result was not even close! Even after 3 months, my curls delight me with their smoothness. As soon as the composition is washed off, I will definitely do the procedure again. I really like her.

Christina, Samara

Pros: perfect smoothness.

Minuses:

• the result does not last long;
• high cost of the procedure;
• unsafe process;
• the hair is ruined.

The wavy strands on my head resemble afro curls. This causes a lot of inconvenience: it is difficult to comb, and styling is simply impossible. On a cloudy day, your hair becomes like a ball. I have always envied girls with beautiful flowing locks. I can only make a bun. This is very disappointing.

One day I came across an advertisement for keratin straightening on the Internet. The bad reviews from those who have already tried this hairdressing service did not bother me. The procedure seemed like a way out of the situation, I was very happy that I had found a solution. I didn’t have to look for a specialist for a long time, nor did I have to make an appointment. The cost of smoothing for hair of my length turned out to be very high - 4,500 rubles.

I knew that the effect of not all drugs is good; there was especially a lot of negativity about Coco Choco cosmetics. The master used a mixture from a Japanese manufacturer, I don’t remember the exact name. Most reviews about the product were positive.

In the salon, the hairdresser washed the hair with a special shampoo, and then prepared a bowl and poured the composition into it. The smell was pungent but pleasant. The strands were divided into zones and each was coated with a keratin preparation. After complete treatment, it was necessary to wait from 40 minutes to an hour.

Then the specialist went over each curl with an iron and combed it with a comb. There was an unbearably pungent odor coming from the straightener. How the girl was able to withstand the entire process without a special mask is unclear. However, there was nowhere to go and we had to endure it, inhaling harmful fumes from the chemicals.

The result made me happy. The effect cannot be compared with what a hairdryer gives. The specialist told me about the taboos of washing, stabbing and exposure to water. In the morning I was afraid to leave the house—it felt like a bucket of grease had been poured on my hair. They hung like icicles, the volume evaporated. It looked terrible.

So I had to go to school. I couldn't wait until the evening to wash my hair. Immediately after the shower, curls appeared at the roots, and after the third use of shampoo, the strands returned to their natural state.

There was no limit to disappointment. At the salon they explained to me that the effect of the keratin product accumulates, and for such curly curls you need to re-treat it 2 more times.

I agreed. I was straightened three times with a break of 4 months. Only later did the mistake become so obvious. I had to spend a lot of money on treating my hair, but for a year now it has led to nothing. Now it became clear to me that natural beauty is given for a reason, and curls look very original.

Shampoo application

Often, a special shampoo is used for keratin straightening. It must be used regularly, because without it, full recovery cannot take place. Even if its price is high, the recovery of curls occurs quickly. Therefore, it is important to choose the appropriate shampoo and use it consistently.

You can learn how care is performed from a professional. You will need to use conditioners and other means to improve the health of the strands. The main thing is that they do not contain sodium chloride and sulfates. In summer it is difficult to refuse swimming in the river or sea. Therefore, it is necessary to treat your hair with a medicinal balm. After swimming in the sea, you need to rinse your hair with fresh water. It is important that care is delicate. If you follow all the recommendations, your hair will look healthy and beautiful. If more than 72 hours have passed since keratin straightening, then you can create any hairstyle using accessories and styling products.

After this, you must follow all the same care rules as for regular hair. They should be combed before washing. Styling tools should be used rarely, as well as tight elastic bands and hairpins. The strands should be combed after they are completely dry. Care is constantly required, and for this you should use natural masks and high-quality cosmetics. Only with constant care will your hair always be in order, which means your appearance will always be neat.

Reviews of keratin hair straightening

Elena, 23 years old: “Every girl dreams of well-groomed and healthy hair, and I am no exception. I started doing keratin straightening even before there were a lot of reviews about it.

I perform hair restoration procedures with keratin at home using the CocoChoco composition. My hair began to look much better and stopped being frizzy. They are easy to style and I was able to avoid using an iron.”

Marina, 30 years old : “I liked the composition of Brazilian Blowout.
Many girls complain that keratin is quickly washed out of their hair. It lasts for me at least 3 months, I repeat the procedure, even though it’s not cheap.” Irina, 27 years old : “They burned my hair at the salon.
I don’t know what composition they used, but I can’t recommend hair straightening with keratin to anyone. It costs a lot, but the result is only negative. Now I'm cutting my hair and won't straighten it anymore. The consequences are terrible, so my review is negative.” Anastasia, 25 years old : “I straighten my hair in the salon once every 3 months. The result justifies the price. I have thick, strong hair, which after the procedure began to look even better.”
