Today, beauty salons offer a wide range of hair care services. One of the newfangled procedures is lamination. It allows you to make the hair smooth and shiny in just a couple of hours.

Consider the main aspects of the procedure, we select the main thing.

Positive lamination features

3. The main positive feature of lamination is considered to be the fight against the split ends. After 3-5 procedures, an improvement is noticed, the hair does not get tangled, and the damaged edges disappear on their own. It can be said that the lamination compound “seals” the damaged ends.
4. Lamination in the winter season, when many young ladies suffer from the problem of electrifying their hair, is considered to be particularly relevant. Due to the fact that the tool at 1/5 contributes to the weighting, the statistical effect disappears.
5. In most cases, the procedure is resorted to by girls and women whose hair has a slightly wavy structure. Means for lamination straightens and smoothes the scales, contributing to the mirror effect.
6. Professional masters emphasize that home lamination with gelatin is completely safe. The composition can be called hypoallergenic, it is suitable for pregnant and lactating girls, as well as people with brittle hair. The exception is individual intolerance to the components.

Negative features of lamination

1. Lamination affects different types of hair in different ways. For some women, the procedure will be a salvation from the split ends, electrification, dullness. Other ladies, on the contrary, exacerbate the already deplorable situation. For example, too hard hair can become even coarser. It is also impossible to exclude the fact that the composition does not work at all.
2. To carry out the procedure, namely, to apply and rinse off the product, it is much easier on short or medium hair. Long-haired young ladies will have to resort to the help of a friend who will treat the occipital zone.
3. In rare cases, after home lamination, hair begins to quickly turn fat. This is because the composition clogs the pores, causing the glands to work at an accelerated rate. Girls with bold type of hair are advised to be extremely cautious.
4. If the tips are not broken before lamination and the hair is soft, the procedure can have the opposite result. Before applying the composition to the entire mound, it is recommended to make a test on a separate curl to prevent possible consequences.
