Among modern salon services, hair lamination is very popular. With the help of the procedure, you can make your hair shiny, smooth and obedient. Since the technology is simple, you can laminate strands not only in the salon, but even at home.

What is hair lamination

The procedure involves covering the strands with a special mixture, the components of which envelop each hair with an inconspicuous thin film. It provides protection from the negative effects of the external environment, hair styling products and equipment. The effect of the procedure is similar to hot keratin straightening or restoration: the curls become smooth, beautiful, shiny, however, hair lamination is a service that is not only therapeutic, but also protective.

With the help of the procedure, each hair is covered with a breathable film that evens out its surface by gluing the scales. Unlike lamination, hair keratinization at home involves saturating them with keratin, so that the strands become obedient and even, however, this substance is quickly washed out. Another fundamental difference is that the kerating agent contains formaldehydes, which can adversely affect the health of the hair if the procedure is carried out frequently.

What gives hair lamination

The lamination gel will be useful for those who have recently dyed the strands, as well as for girls with highlighted, curly, curly hair who want to even out, moisturize and protect them from the harmful effects of styling products. What other lamination effect should be expected:

• combing is greatly facilitated;
• volume is added (lamination agent lifts the hairs from the roots);
• split ends become invisible (if you do hair biolamination at home systematically, then over time, the damaged ends fall off on their own);
• laminated hairs cease to be electrified;
• the hairs become more flexible, strong and healthy (if hair lamination is carried out folk remedies, then there will be no allergic reaction).

Comparison of lamination with other hair straightening methods

Which is better: lamination or keratin straightening

Lamination and keratin straightening serve to restore the hairline, but these procedures are completely different.

Lamination is the process of coating the hair with a colorless substance that does not contain acids or oxidizing agents. It is thanks to this that the curls are covered with a transparent film.

The composition is attached to the hair due to the ionic effect of drugs or high temperature. The procedure promises to make hair healthier and more beautiful, remove dryness and brittleness.

The lamination method is aimed at straightening the hair, while toeratin straightening is more intended for healing and restoring curls

Keratin, which is contained in the composition, enters the hair and restores it from the inside.The effect of this procedure can last up to 6 months. Keratin straightening gives a cumulative effect of the procedure. Thanks to this, after a while the hair will be restored completely.

Which is better: lamination or shielding

Experts advise to combine these procedures. This is not a cheap pleasure, but worth the money spent.

The shielding procedure protects the hair from the inside, nourishes and restores. And lamination hides external problems, stops injury and hair destruction at the same level.

At the same time, lamination delays nutrients from shielding inside.Both procedures allow you to restore hair in several sessions. Curls become healthier, shinier and smoother.

Can be used separately, depending on the funds.

Botox or lamination

There is an opinion that Botox is better than lamination. All due to the fact that keratin is present in Botox, the effect lasts up to 6 months, and the procedure can be performed at home.

Botox helps hair to look healthy, make them stronger and thicker. But it also has disadvantages, namely that Botox makes hair more brittle. He also has contraindications, the procedure is contraindicated for pregnant and lactating women, as well as if there are wounds on the head.
