Hair shielding is a cosmetic and therapeutic procedure aimed at restoring damaged hair, giving it a shiny protective layer. The dream of any girl who wants to have the same beautiful, lush, shiny hair like models and actresses on TV screens can come true today.
Having learned about the existence of screening, not every woman will dare to do this. It can be harmful, dangerous, and negative consequences can occur.
What is the essence of the method
Shielding, or shining (translated as “shine”) is a complex hair care procedure, after which it gains shine and strengthens from the inside. The secret to obtaining radiant beauty is the use of products based on essential oils of plants. Nutrients penetrate into each hair, eliminate structural disturbances, and strengthen them. The oils used create a thin surface film – a screen that gives a radiant effect.
When performing shining, the hair is sequentially impregnated with special compounds. Some are needed for the disclosure of hair scales. Others feed them with healthy cocktails. And still others create spectacular shining protection.
Kinds
Depending on the materials used, the following types of shielding are distinguished: transparent and colored. When transparent, the hair is nourished, restored, shine, emphasizing the existing shade. During color screening, in addition to all of the above, a tint is given parallel to the hair. But it should be noted that the stability of toning is much lower than when coloring.
In terms of its result, the lamination procedure is very similar to shielding. Only in the first case, the effect is achieved not only external, but also therapeutic, and in the second – exclusively cosmetic.
What is the effect of shielding
When screening, thanks to the penetration of nutrients deep into the hair, it is restored and the water balance normalized. Women should consider screening if:
- there is damage to the hair with styling products;
- in the past there were exposure to aggressive media (dyeing, perm);
- the hair became dull and brittle.
The shielding procedure creates not only a radiant appearance. The useful substances used also have a therapeutic effect. Eventually:
- damaged structures are restored;
- dryness and split ends disappear;
- color screening gently tones the hair without damaging it;
- the volume increases;
- the process of combing and styling is facilitated;
- hair protection from the negative influence of weather factors appears.
The result of the procedure is visible immediately. Usually it lasts 1-3 weeks, but this is individual. From daily shampooing, the protective layer gradually disappears. But the effect of shielding is cumulative, so the masters advise taking a course of 5-8 sessions. You can do shielding with an interval of 2 weeks, then repeat the course in 8-10 months.
Contraindications and consequences
Having decided to treat your hair, it should be borne in mind that not everyone can do this by screening. Such a treatment procedure has certain contraindications:
- alopecia;
- oily hair type;
- skin diseases on the head;
- trauma and open wounds;
- allergic reaction.
If there are contraindications that do not allow shielding, you can choose another procedure with a specialist. After all, this is not the only way to make your hairstyle attractive.
The procedure also has negative sides.
- hair begins to become highly electrified;
- strands become heavier and get dirty faster;
- the result from one procedure is short-lived.
The effect of shielding is invisible on thick, long and healthy hair.
