How long does it take to straighten your hair?

Hair straightening and styling usually takes three to four hours, from shampoo drying to drug straightening to styling. Of course, these steps take about three hours, depending on the length of an individual's hair. So if you want to go to the barber shop to straighten your hair, you can obviously see that it is not easy to stimulate split ends, and the effect is also very good. The barber will ask customers not to wash their hair for three days, because after the barber pulls out the customer's hair, there will be styling water to keep the hair straight and supple.

The process of straightening hair

The first step: first soften the hair, the purpose of softening is to cut off the links in the hair by potion, so that the hair structure is relaxed;

Step 2: Straighten the softened hair with a high-temperature splint. The purpose of straightening is to change the angle and arrangement order of links in hair and force hair to straighten;

Step 3: Set the straightened hair. The purpose of modeling is to reassemble the cutting links.

Small details of straightening hair

Softening is an important step of ion perm. The accuracy of softening control determines the elasticity and texture of hair, and softening is also the most likely link to damage hair quality. Good control can not only get the best straight hair effect, but also minimize the damage. Softening is divided into two parts: daubing softening and testing softening.

When softening, keep a distance of 1~2 cm from the hair root. Apply healthy hair first, and then apply the dry part below when it softens to 50%.

According to the hair quality, test the softening degree at any time. When the hair can be stretched for three times, fine ripples will appear after springback, which is the standard of softening. If the hair is stiff when stretched, or it breaks when pulled, it means that the softening is not up to standard. If the hair is easy to stretch and does not rebound, it means that the hair is excessively softened.

When the softening reaches the standard, rinse the hair with shampoo to remove the softening, and then use the skin care products or water-soluble proteins in the perm to carry out acid-base balance, fill the holes in the hair, supplement nutrition and discharge the residual alkaline components.

pull straight

After washing your hair, blow dry it first. Hair must be kept dry when straightening. If the hair is wet, it will generate steam when straightened, which will easily burn the scalp and cause serious high temperature damage to the hair.

Softened hair has a drooping feeling after drying, but the smoothness and gloss at this time are still much worse. The picture above shows that there is no straightening effect after softening and drying. It looks straight, but it still lacks toughness and elasticity.

When straightening, pull your hair layer by layer from bottom to top. The hair piece should not be too thick, and the temperature of the splint should be set according to the hair quality and softening. Normal splint temperature should be controlled at 180~200 degrees, moderately damaged splint temperature should be controlled at 160~ 180 degrees, and damaged splint temperature should be controlled at 140~ 160 degrees.

When pulling hair, you need to choose the angle and speed of pulling hair according to the position. It should not be too slow. Too slow hair absorbs too much heat, which will damage hair quality. It's too fast to achieve the stereotyped effect, so straightening hair also requires professional training, which is not as simple as you understand.

finalize the design

You can set your hair after straightening it. Styling is to apply the second agent of ion perm to the hair, also called styling agent. The role of modeling is to recombine the softened and cut links into straight hair after straightening. The setting agent is pasty. Evenly spread it on the straightened hair and leave it for 10 minute. Some products don't need to be shaped, and they can be shaped without smearing.

Apply styling agent, comb your hair straight, keep your head vertical and don't move. Just stick to 10 minute, because when modeling, if the hair is not vertical, it will affect the modeling effect and cause the hair to be straight after modeling.

Precautions for straightening hair

First: Don't wash your hair within three days after straight hair, because washing your hair too early will easily deform your straight hair.

Second: don't push your hair down when you sleep, straighten your hair before going to bed and lay it flat on both sides of your head. At the same time, try to reduce the chance of turning over, so as to keep the hairstyle longer.

Third: Never tie up your straightened hair again. Many girls are used to tying up their hair when washing their faces, but it is easy to tie it up with elastic labels. If you don't want to get your hair wet, you can choose to wear a shower cap.

Fourth: wash your hair properly after straightening, not too often or too little. It is generally best to wash your hair every 2-3 days. At the same time, you should choose shampoo for repairing and caring after perm, because straightening your hair will do great damage to your hair. Try not to blow it with a hair dryer after washing, and try to dry it naturally. When washing your hair, you must cooperate with conditioner to protect your hair.

Fifth: If it's convenient, try to go to a professional hairdresser regularly for post-perm repair care.

Sixth: after a period of time, the hair will probably not be as straight as it was when it was just straightened. Even in this case, don't clamp your hair with a splint. Because straightening hair itself has caused damage to hair quality, clamping hair with splint is equivalent to secondary damage to hair. At that time, the damaged hair is likely to be difficult to repair.
