Do no harm: procedures that kill the beauty of your hair

To warn its readers against mistakes, inform.com.de has collected harmful hair treatments that promise to transform the image and drastically change the appearance of curls, but actually kill their beauty.

There are many hair treatments that cause heated debate among beauty experts, stylists, and regular girls looking to get the curls of their dreams with minimal effort. Each woman comes to the salon with her own problem and need – someone needs to straighten naughty curls for a long time, someone lacks volume at the roots, and someone wants to wake up every day with a ready-made wrap and not waste time styling.

These procedures include Botox, lamination, keratin alignment and others. And they really help out. True, temporarily. After a few weeks or months, the effect disappears, and the girls begin to complain about the deterioration of the hair, changes in their structure, brittleness, dullness, and even heavy loss. Therefore, in the pursuit of beauty, one should not forget about a reasonable approach. Before you try out a new, even the most popular procedure, you should carefully study it.

We will talk about three such procedures in this article. Please remember that all hair is different and will respond differently to care. Perhaps your experience was successful, and you do not see anything harmful in them. Our task is only to warn about the risks associated with some modern procedures.

Perm

For many years, perm hair has been very popular. In pursuit of elastic curls, easy styling without unnecessary hassle and luxurious volume for several months, some girls forget to study the issue and may not attach importance to the fact that the active ingredients of the applied composition change the structure of the hair. The more often you do a perm, the more it collapses. Subsequently, the strands lose their healthy appearance and shine, it will be almost impossible to restore their elasticity. 

If you still decide on the procedure, trust a professional who will select a gentle composition that suits your hair type and tell you how to care for curls after that in order to get out with the least loss.

Long-term styling

The trendy treatment, also called carving, promises to create extra basal volume for a long time and helps to create neat curls that create a blow-dry effect. Carving technology involves applying a special composition to the hair and winding it on curlers. The content of this substance is very similar to a perm preparation. Owners of sensitive scalp should be especially careful: the product comes into contact with the skin during the work of the master, so the risk of allergic reactions and itching is very high.

After long-term styling, hair loses elasticity, becomes more brittle and damaged. When choosing this procedure, consult a specialist in advance and choose a good care to maintain a healthy looking hair.

Hair extension

Getting the lush mane and length of your dreams in just a few hours is real magic. However, this procedure also has its pitfalls. Many women who naturally have thin hair resort to extensions not only before an important event, but do it on a regular basis. Thus, the problem is only exacerbated: under the weight of the extended strands, native hair becomes even weaker and thinner, and begins to fall out intensively. 

The same applies to afro hair extensions (weaving artificial or donor braids that resemble dreadlocks and allow you to increase not only the length of the curls, but also the volume of the hairstyle). If you are seduced by a procedure that is not the most useful, take care of the quality restoration of your curls.
