The gains are many: healthier hair, free from dryness and moisturized with a product that makes the difference in the look of the yarn, especially for those who have hair that suffer from chemicals such as coloring and straightening.
COST X BENEFIT CAN BE THE KEY OF HAIR HYDRATION
The main advantage of doing hair hydration at home is the cost benefit.
The hairdresser Aline Santanna explains: "One 34oz Jar of hair Hydration Mask can last up to 40 applications for those who have medium size hair, that is, neither too full nor too large. It is an advantage for price and quality, they have a great cost x benefit".
In addition, they are practical and save time in the day-to-day, as they avoid constant trips to pharmacies and perfumeries in search of specific products for hydration, and are also economical, since the result in the threads is similar to the procedure done by professionals .
HOW TO MAKE A PROFESSIONAL HYDRATION AT HOME
Moisturizing hair at home is not just about applying the hair mask on the wires and then rinsing.
Many people complain that home hair treatments are not as good as those in the salon, and that they do not have the same effects as one made by a professional, but with the proper application, it is possible to leave the locks beautiful and healthy without having to spend more money at the hairdresser.
The first secret of hairdressers is to begin treatment from the deep cleansing shampoo, which leave the hair clean and ready to receive hydration. This shampoo will leave the cuticles of the yarns more open to absorb the active ingredients from the hair mask from your preference.
But, be careful and do note use deep cleansing shampoo for more than once a week, especially if hair is chemically colored, as deep cleansing shampoo gradually removes hair chemistry and decreases the length of procedures - like straightening - in the locks.
SPECIAL TECHNIQUE FOR HYDRATION GUARANTEES GOOD RESULTS
Before applying the moisturizing mask on the threads, remove excess water and comb the hair with wide teeth, which prevents the fiber, more sensitive when wet, split while it is combed. Removing moisture is important because water can disrupt the effect of the cream, which may not be absorbed properly.
To apply hydration, a special technique is also required. aply the product from ear level down, avoiding the root, wick to wick, massaging the hair parts so that the hair fiber absorbs the active moisturizing mask. After massaging the hair, choose a source of heat, such as thermal caps, foil or hot towel, because with heat, the scales of the thread open, facilitating the penetration of the cream into the hair.
SOME CARE TIPS FOR A POWERFUL HYDRATION
After respecting the time of the treatment, which depends on the manufacturer and the chosen product, rinse well, until removing all the waste, as Aline explains: "Rinsing well is a precious tip for those who make hair hydration at home. Sometimes you may blame the product for leaving a heavy sensation on the hair, but the problem, in fact, may be the residue that stay in the wires, so the mistake may be not having the hair rinsed corectly. "
Use cold water to rinse the hair, because at this temperature the hair cuticules will close quickly and retain the moisturizer for longer. Take advantage of this time to massage the scalp, which stimulates the renewal of the cells and nourishment of the locks. Another advantage of the cold water is to brighten the locks, which will become more evident after drying. Then, just go to the usual finalization. If you choose a brush, it is important to use thermal protection to avoid damaging the newly hydrated wires.
OTHER USES FOR HAIR HYDRATION MASKS
The hair hydration masks are also versatile and can accumulate other functions, such as replacing the conditioner, assist in baths of brightness or potentiate a nutritious hydration with oils and vitamins, explains the hairdresser Lela Athanasio: "Today there is a Incredible variety of oils that can be used along with moisturizing to complement the treatment.It is possible to mix the oil in the cream and take advantage of benefit from both together, or use the oil as a finisher, only at the hair tips" taught the hair stylist.
