Professional remedies

To start the procedure, you need to pick up funds in a specialized center or hairdresser. This can be, for example, the formulations that the Estelle cosmetics company offers. Remember that any set of tools is accompanied by detailed instructions with pictures, in which the whole procedure is signed in stages.

Note that in the case of using professional products, the effect of hair lamination will last much longer than in the case of home mixes.

• hair tonic (if provided by the manufacturer).

Stages of the procedure:

1. Rinse your hair with the deep cleanser included in the kit. This is necessary to remove residual fat, styling products.

3. Apply a nourishing mask to the entire hair volume, evenly distributing the composition.
4. Apply the laminate and keep it on for at least 30 minutes if the instructions do not indicate the exact time.
5. To warm up, use a hair dryer turned on at an average heating rate. This is necessary for better penetration of the product into the hair structure.
6. Rinse the strands with plain water without using shampoo.
7. Dry, comb and style the curls.

If you have colored hair, we recommend using a mask before the procedure. It has a slight toning effect. The shade of the strands will become more saturated and, due to lamination, it will be washed out more slowly.

The essence of the procedure

Home lamination of hair with masks without gelatin involves the application of a specially prepared mixture. She covers each strand with a protective film, saturates it with useful substances and seals the ends.

As a result, the curls not only acquire a well-groomed look. They will also be protected from external factors and ultraviolet radiation.

This procedure is suitable for those who have:

• thin and weakened strands;
• ends split;
• hairs fall out and do not grow;
• curls deteriorate due to perm, low-quality dyes or frequent use of a hair dryer.

Useful Tips

By following our little tips, you can easily carry out lamination of your hair at home and achieve results that are no worse than a salon:

1. You should pamper yourself with such masks 1-2 times a week.
2. For masks, use natural oils, preferably unrefined.
3. For the best penetration of funds, it is necessary to warm up the head as best as possible.

Contraindications

Masks based on natural ingredients - oils or coconut milk - do not cause allergic reactions, but if you find that your hair becomes excessively coarse or “crispy” after the procedure, gently rinse it again to make sure that the mask has been completely removed, then Wash your curls with your regular conditioner or diluted apple cider vinegar.

Application rules

1. Do not rub masks into your scalp as this can cause itching and dandruff.
2. When preparing a solution in a water bath (for example, when melting honey or heating an essential oil), make sure that the essence does not boil in water. Otherwise, it will lose all its beneficial properties.
3. Try to completely dissolve all the ingredients in the mixtures - use a blender or mixer. It is best not to mix with chunks as they will stick together your hair.
4. If the effect of lamination does not appear even after several procedures for an undefined reason, you may need to consult a trichologist and check for possible health problems.
5. Any hair lamination mask should be applied 1 time / 2 weeks. Usage time - at least 35-45 minutes.

What can replace gelatin?

One of the most famous methods of hair lamination is a gelatin mask. You probably most often associate gelatin with cakes and other sweets, but the product is able to protect hair from almost all types of meteorological conditions, such as freezing weather in winter and strong sun in summer, which in most cases destroys our hair, especially if it is not protected.

Gelatin is mainly composed of the aminoethane (glycine) and pyrrolidine amino acids, which most people do not consume in sufficient amounts for health, as they are found in bones, cartilage, fibrous tissues and organs of animals.

These organic compounds are essential not only for proper hair and nail growth, but also for optimal immune function and weight balance. Aminoethane, which makes up about 1/3 of the amino acids in gelatin powder, is anti-inflammatory and evidence suggests it may help speed up wound healing.

The glycine in gelatin can also help improve sleep comfort and quality.

Gelatin masks essentially create the illusion of straight and “glossy” hair, although the effect on the hair structure is quite pronounced. Also, it is not recommended to use too much gelatin, otherwise they will take a long time to rehabilitate.

So what can replace gelatin?

Coconut milk is a liquid extracted from shredded coconut. Don't confuse it with coconut water! After all, the latter is obtained from the shell of a coconut. Due to its rich and creamy consistency, coconut milk can be used as a gelatin substitute.

There are different varieties of coconut milk depending on how thick it is.

Thick milk contains 20 to 22% fat, while light milk has 5 to 7% fat. Most of this fat is saturated fat, so coconut milk is completely safe. It is rich in vitamins C, E, B1, B3, B5 and B6, as well as iron, selenium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus.

Thus, this sweet, creamy liquid is an excellent option for those who are either allergic to gelatin or have no desire to “injure” their curls with gelatin.

• Substitute olive oil for gelatin to restore a healthy and shiny appearance. Rich in vitamins A, E and antioxidants, olive oil helps to accumulate keratin in hair and gives it the necessary hydration.
• Olive oil can stop excess sebum accumulation, which prevents the formation of new hair follicles and thus hair growth.
• Essential oils are the essence of plants that have a number of medicinal properties. There are essential oils for treating certain hair problems such as dandruff, premature gray hair, or hair loss.
• They can improve circulation to the scalp and promote hair growth by stimulating hair follicles, and can also be a healthy substitute for gelatin. Different essential oils have different properties. Some are good for dry hair, while others help remove excess sebum.

Things to Consider When Self-Laminating

Not all women have the means and time to regularly visit beauty salons. The lamination procedure is quite possible to carry out at home, given some of the nuances:

The positive effect is entirely due to the correctness of your actions.

For the first time, lamination is still recommended to be done in the salon in order to get acquainted with the technology in practice, ask questions that interest you. Also, the master will recommend the composition that is most suitable for your hair, taking into account their type and condition.

When starting the procedure at home, first study the instructions available, make sure that you understand everything.

Folk remedies often give a weak effect or do not give it at all. The condition of the hair may even worsen - the strands become heavy, hard to the touch or dry, like straw. It depends on the structure of the hair.

You may have to try several formulations to achieve the desired result.

Possibility of allergies. This is especially true when using folk remedies. Knowing that you have a tendency to such reactions, be sure to first conduct a test by applying a little of the composition to the wrist, the inner bend of the elbow, the skin on the temple or behind the ear.

If after 15–20 minutes there are no negative changes, the remedy is safe for you.

The composition is difficult to apply evenly, especially if you have long hair. It is better to first enlist someone's help. Unevenly processed strands then look unnatural - this is the most common mistake when performing the procedure yourself.

After using folk remedies, the hair will get dirty faster than usual. More frequent washing is required to keep them from looking greasy. This shortens the duration of the effect.

The procedure has contraindications. Lamination should not be carried out in the presence of any unhealed mechanical damage on the scalp, any dermatological diseases, especially in the acute stage, a general weakening of the immune system and the body due to a recent illness, surgery.

For the procedure you will need:

1. two types of shampoo - intensively cleansing and more gentle;
2. balm or hair conditioner;
3. spray that makes combing easier and prevents electrification;
4. composition for lamination;
5. a brush with which professional hairdressers apply paint to the hair, and a comb with frequent teeth;
6. foil strips of suitable length (such that they can wrap curls);
7. iron or hair dryer;
8. bathing cap and towel;
9. a weak solution of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar in clean water or a decoction of any medicinal herbs (2-3 drops per 0.5 l).
