But sometimes it does not give the desired results. Below we will consider the reasons why keratin does not equalize hair well.
Advantages of keratin and the duration of the effect
The uniqueness of keratin for hair is in the ability to straighten curls of any type for a long time. This is achieved through the treatment of curls with keratin composition, which fills the voids in the hair shaft gives the hair evenness, smoothness. What is the effect of keratin for the first time? If the technique of the procedure is followed, the strands become perfectly even, smooth, shiny and silky, and the result with proper home care can last up to 5 months.

The disadvantages of keratin for hair - in the high cost, as well as the lack of a recovery effect. In fact, it simply improves the appearance of strands, and there is no recovery of the structure.
Why does not work keratin
The reasons for the lack of effect after the procedure can be several:
-
Incorrect diagnosis of the hair, including its elasticity, ethnicity.
-
Incorrect selection of the composition due to the wrong diagnosis of the hair type. So, without recognizing afrohair, the master can pick up an insufficiently strong composition, which will not give the desired effect of straightening.
-
Failure to observe the technique when applying the composition to the strands. The preparation should be evenly applied to the curls, in sufficient quantity to penetrate the cortex and give the desired effect.
-
Duration of exposure on the strands. Depending on the structure of the hair and its type, the formula is held for different times to achieve the effect of straightening, but at the same time do not allow damage.
-
Drying the hair. It is important to dry the strands so that there is no moisture left in them: otherwise, after the procedure, the hair will not become perfectly straight and will generally curl faster.
-
Using the wrong iron. Pulling strands with an iron, the heating temperature of which does not meet the specified temperature, will turn out to be insufficient sealing of the cuticle, because of which keratin is not kept inside the hair and quickly washed out.
-
Washing off the composition before the time. The effect of dirty hair after keratin often becomes the reason that girls wash off the composition before time, not keeping it for a sufficient period. Because of this, keratin does not give the desired effect.
-
Lack of proper care after keratin. To keep the effect of straightening for 5 months, you need to use sulfate shampoos and conditioners, as well as keratin hair masks, which prolong the result and keep the protein in the curls.
-
Violation of hair care techniques immediately after straightening. Pinning strands, tying bundles contributes to the formation of creases that form curls, and because of this, the hair after keratinizing looks non-ideal. Therefore, it is important for the master to instruct the client how to properly care for curls, so that keratin works.
