Formalin-free keratin hair straightening
What is formalin-free keratin hair straightening and for whom is it intended?
Formalin-free keratin hair straightening also gives damaged hair a smooth and shiny look. Many women whose hair is curled or damaged due to unsuccessful hair straightening treatments want to restore their hair and give it the beautiful and healthy look that keratin hair straightening allows, but as with all hair straightening, keratin hair straightening sometimes includes different formulas some of which must be avoided because they contain substances that can be harmful to the health of the hair. When it comes to the dangerous components of keratin smoothies, the reference is to formaldehyde (formalin) which, when heated by the hair using a straightener or other hot hair straightening device, is absorbed into the skin and its vapors are absorbed in the respiratory system. Because formalin is a substance that actively smooths the hair, hair straightening that contain the dangerous substance are still used. Formalin-free keratin hair straightening includes products that contain formalin-free keratin. Although a more aggressive substance is needed than the keratin that envelops the hair , formaldehyde is not recommended in any case because it is proven to be harmful to health.
Parada hair straightening products, for example, contain pure keratin and are made exclusively from organic minerals and do not contain formalin or other chemicals.
Why is it important that the keratin formula does not contain formalin?
It is recommended to choose a keratin hair straightening that does not contain formalin. There are a variety of products that smooth and restore the hair without the health hazard that the substance poses. Formalin is a toxic and carcinogenic substance that irritates the skin and respiratory system. It is a substance that was used in the past for cleaning and disinfection, but today, because it is considered a dangerous substance, it is used less. Formalin (formaldehyde)with heating the smoothing compound using a hair straightener causes destruction of the sulfur bonds and allows the hair to be straightened for a long period of several months. The Ministry of Health allows the use of formalin for hair straightening products in a minimal amount only. Too much formalin can be detected by a characteristic strong odor. Once the substance is dispersed on the hair, it is absorbed into the scalp and causes inflammation and burns and the vapors absorbed in the respiratory system cause serious damage to the mucous membranes.
How keratin works on hair?
Keratin restores hair and gives it a healthy shine and is an essential ingredient in many hair straightenings, from Brazilian straightening to silk straightening. It is suitable for treating damaged or frizzy hair for hair that has undergone chemical treatments such as straightening, coloring and toning. Keratin protein is the main raw material that makes up the core of the hair and its shell. The protein in the smoothing formula combines with the protein in the hair shell, filling in the cracks created due to dryness and harmful treatments. Filling the hair shell allows the natural and healthy shine to be restored. Most formulas contain, in addition to keratin, substances that nourish and help maintain hair health.
Keratin hair straightening for the first time
Before any keratin straightening it is important to consult a specialist hair stylist for the purpose of diagnosing the hair and adjusting it to the treatment. In the past, keratin straightening was not suitable for 'virgin' hair (which has not undergone chemical treatments) because in healthy hair, there are no cracks that are created due to chemical changes in the hair shell, but today there are improved keratin formulas. Keratin straightening, also called "restorative straightening", is suitable for many hair types, but in some cases (for example, brittle hair or after many chemical treatments), standard keratin straightening will not be suitable. In such cases the hair stylist can offer treatment with a keratin straightening product designed for particularly damaged hair.
Advantages and disadvantages of keratin hair straightening
Keratin straightening has many benefits, it gives the hair shine, maximum radiance and elasticity, smoothes it with a natural look and gives it volume, unlike other types of straightening that create an overly smooth appearance of the hair.
In addition, the compounds of quality keratin preparations include nourishing products that allow to repair damaged hair. But, as with any cosmetic product, keratin products have advantages but also disadvantages. In many cases it is possible to avoid damaging the hair by using the products properly.
Repeat hair straightening:
Unlike chemical hair straighteners, keratin does not change the structure of the hair but only envelops it. Since the material does not combine with the hair, it is washed from the hair during the overlap. Because of this the treatment should be repeated every three to six months.
Keratin Hair Straightening - Side Effects (Rare):
The formula should not cause any special problems when used properly. But, sometimes there are unexpected side effects that are caused by hypersensitivity of the scalp or allergy. In cases where sensitivity is known it is recommended not to use hair straighteners without consulting a specialist as with any cosmetic product a sensitivity test should be done.
Keratin hair straightening to treat hair loss:
The keratin formula envelops and protects the hair, intended for anti-hair loss treatments. If there is a problem with hair loss, it is recommended to avoid using the product without consulting.
Types of Keratin Hair Straightening
The known types of hair straightening are Brazilian straightening and restorative straightening, in both, a formula containing keratin is used to straighten hair that has undergone chemical treatments, but while Brazilian straightening is primarily aesthetic, restorative straightening strengthens the hair fiber, treats split ends and instantly restores hair.
The benefits of Brazilian hair straightening are the natural look of straight hair. It is especially suitable for dyed hair or hair that has undergone Japanese straightening.
This type of hair straightening is considered to be beneficial and restorative of hair.
Restorative hair straightening is a process that uses the properties of keratin to provide protection and nourishment for dry or damaged hair. Combining keratin with substances that help restore hair nourishes it and gives it a smooth and healthy look.
After restorative hair straightening it is recommended to treat the hair with overlapping and grooming products that contain keratin for hair protection.
