Hair Straightening
Author: Kristy Klien
Brazilian hair straightening is rapidly becoming wide spread,
moving from its home in brazil salons are adopting the
techniques far and wide. The technique is known as Escova
Progressiva or in English translation progressive blowdry. How
does the technique work and what are the benefits of using for
your hair.
The basic concept is the heat is used to seal in the hair
cuticle with keratin, for those who are not aware keratin is the
natural protein that is found in human hair. What are the
benefits of this for your hair? Do you have wavy, curly or
kinky hair, well this new technique is now all the rage with the
celebrities. The process is said to take around 2 hours and the
results are set to transform your hair and straighten your hair,
want to hear the best part……for up to 4 months! No need for
endless revisits to the salon your hair is straight and stays
straight.
The technique used does not use chemicals to open the hair
cuticle to achieve the results; the process uses keratin which
is a protein that is found in your hair naturally, keratin is
the protein that will make your hair tough, elastic and durable.
If you want to have straight hair then you need to have
keratin. The technique is a natural treatment and once it has
worn off there will be no chemical imbalance and your hair will
be back to the original state. The general process will allow
the natural negative irons that are produced to break down the
water molecule clusters into micro particles which in turn will
allow the mixture to penetrate deep into the hair shaft and
begin the straightening process naturally. The process can cost
anywhere between two hundred to three hundred dollars and this
will depend on the type of hair you have and the length of the
hair.
The Brazilian hair straightening process is fine for anybody to
have and any hair type, there are a number of precautionary
steps that you can take to make sure you get the best possible
results. Firstly make sure you keep your hair down for at least
the first four days after you have had the procedure done. If
you do get your hair wet within the first four days even though
it Is not recommended then make sure you dry the hair as quickly
as possible with a blow dryer. Keep the hair away from your
face as much as possible to avoid damage. After you have
undergone the process then you may want to wait a few days,
normally recommended 4 days until you undertake some certain
activities in order that you do not affect the results. Some
things that you should avoid include, washing your hair, using
hair clips, putting your hair up or into pony tails, excessive
exercise or sweating, hair bands or any types of gel, moose or
sprays. Of course you could do any of these activities but this
could effect how long the procedure lasts on your hair.
