Owners of perky curls are looking for any way to somehow tame their unruly hair. The easiest way at first glance to straighten wavy strands is to use a special iron. But along with the advantages, the iron has a number of certain disadvantages. The most basic of them is damage to the hair structure. This becomes especially noticeable if you have to straighten wavy curls with an iron more than twice a week. And rare use of it is also not a solution, over time, the hair will still lose its healthy appearance, and then you will have to work hard to restore its elasticity and shine. Therefore, very often curly girls think about how to straighten hair without an iron and maintain its health. There are several methods that you can use yourself or seek help from a beauty salon specialist.

How to straighten hair without ironing with a regular hair dryer?

Straighten unruly hair with the most ordinaryIt is not as impossible to straighten your hair with a hairdryer as it may seem at first glance. It is important to observe the temperature regime. Very hot air can cause the same damage to your hair as using a flat iron. Before straightening your hair, you need to wash your hair with a suitable shampoo and then apply a conditioner that makes combing easier. Rinse your hair thoroughly from these products and dry it slightly with a warm towel. Next, you need to very carefully and gently comb your hair with a wooden comb with rare teeth, and then apply a special cosmetic product to smooth out curls. As an additional care, you can use a product that protects against thermal effects. For convenience, you can use several hairpins, with which you can easily distribute your hair into separate strands and separate the area for straightening. Each separate strand needs to be lifted and a round comb with small bristles should be placed under it. The diameter of the comb depends on the length of the hair. For long hair, you will need a large diameter, for short hair - a minimum. Straighten the hair with a warm stream of air from a hair dryer while simultaneously moving the comb from top to bottom along the entire length of the strand (Fig. 1). For the best result, these movements must be repeated several times for each strand. The final touch will be fixing the result with hairspray. It should be distributed at a distance of 20 cm from the head. If desired, you can add a shine spray. You do not need to comb your hair after this. This simplest and most accessible method has a significant drawback: rain, dampness and air humidity can negate all efforts. Therefore, it is best to straighten hair with a hair dryer in dry, sunny weather.

Straightening of hair with cosmetics

Almost any company that produceshair care cosmetics, has a line of products for straightening unruly curls in its arsenal. These are all kinds of creams, sprays, serums, balms, gels. Such products cope well with slightly curly hair, but it is unlikely that you will be able to straighten stubborn curls with their help. However, it is worth keeping in mind the products of those manufacturers who have proven themselves well:

• Gel Straight Works, Super Skinny balm and Super Skinny Serum Serum from Paul Mitchell, designed specifically to "tame" disobedient locks;
• Oleo-Relax liquid for smoothing from Kerastase;
• cream nourishing Hair Mix, cream smoothing Texture Expert and serum Liss Control + Tecni.art for different types of hair from the brand L'Oreal take control of soft waves;
• Mousse Control Freak from Tigi with different degrees of fixation;
• Special oil for the smoothness of hair from the brand Green Light;
• Special lotion and Bamboo Smooth spray with a smoothing effect from Alterna.

Select one tool from the huge varietythe number of cosmetic novelties is practically impossible. You will have to choose the right and effective brand individually. And, as a rule, for the best final result you have to use several products at once. Of course, it is desirable that they are from the same line.

How to straighten hair without ironing in beauty salons?

Today, many salons offer very usefulservice - hair straightening with keratin-containing products. It is believed that this method has two effects at once: it makes hair smooth and gives it a healthy, well-groomed appearance (Fig. 2). Hair is filled with keratin, becomes more elastic, strong, shiny. The porosity of the structure of each hair disappears, and, accordingly, its fluffiness. The procedure consists of the fact that first the hair is thoroughly cleaned, and then, starting almost from the very roots, a special keratin composition is applied along the entire length of the hair. Then, together with this composition, the hair is dried using a comb and a hair dryer. The duration of the entire procedure takes about three hours. Upon completion, a special keratin mask and shampoo are given. They can be used at home only three days after visiting the salon. The first time after the procedure, the hair must be very protected - do not braid it, do not use elastic bands and hairpins, do not wear headbands and headbands. The effect after straightening with creatine, if all the recommendations of the master are followed, lasts for 3-4 months. The process is very individual and depends on the type of hair, as well as the composition that was applied to it.

Straightening ringlets with chemical preparations

There are few todayspecial chemicals that can be used to straighten hair. All of these products contain sodium hydroxide (for very curly strands) and ammonium thioglycolate (for slightly curly hair). It is almost impossible to straighten your hair at home using this chemical method. In a beauty salon, the following steps are taken:

• The master tests one small curl for its ability to be exposed to a certain chemical attack;
• then he applies a special protective cream on the scalp;
• then distributes the selected chemical agent through the hair;
• after a certain time, it flushes it;
• after that it applies a neutralizing agent;
• ends with a hair treatment with a special conditioner.

This procedure takes quite a long time -about five hours. The selection of all the products for this method of hair straightening and the optimal exposure time for maximum effect are always different. Everything depends on the condition of the hair and its structure. Only a highly qualified specialist can take into account all the nuances and reduce the negative impact of each chemical preparation to zero, so this procedure can be performed not in all salons, but only where there are good professionals and the necessary equipment. Prices for chemical hair straightening vary and range from 1,000 to 10,000 rubles. This amount is understandable, because the duration of the procedure itself, the professionalism of its implementation, as well as the individual composition of the products turn it into an expensive pleasure. Chemical hair straightening is the most effective means in the fight against stubborn curls. It is important to remember that this method is not suitable for those who have just had a perm and now, for various reasons, dream of getting rid of it. After the salon, hair needs very careful care. Even drying it can now only be done naturally, you will have to forget about a hair dryer.
