Procedures for treatment and recovery

• Happiness for hair – a multi-stage procedure, which involves the step-by-step application of restorative compounds. Often used as a means of restoring curls after repeated dyeing and bleaching. To achieve a lasting effect, a course of 5-6 procedures is required.
• Biolamination – protects hair from damage and negative environmental impact. Fills the resulting structural voids. Each hair is covered with a protective film based on natural materials.
• Keratinization – hair treatment with a compound enriched with keratin. Thanks to its action, the scales are smoothed, and the rods are saturated with the necessary moisture. Facilitates combing of porous and brittle hair.
• Cryomassage – this is an effect on the scalp using liquid nitrogen, which awakens the body"s internal reserves. Hair is saturated with moisture and comes to life.
• Screening – a therapeutic procedure that is often unfairly confused with lamination. Despite the fact that the execution techniques are identical – screening deeply nourishes the hair, making it healthy, and not only gives it a well-groomed look, as lamination does.

Against split ends

• Polishing– this is the treatment of hair along the entire length using a special attachment put on a hair clipper. Only the sloppy protruding split ends are cut off.
• Hot scissors haircut– the essence of the procedure is clear from the name. Before cutting, the blades of the scissors are heated and serve as a kind of "soldering iron" for the ends of the hair. The temperature is selected depending on the structure of the curls and their thickness.

Kindly take note! The ideal temperature is lower for thinner hair.

• Bio-sealing– the procedure is the treatment of hair with a special protein composition that glues the split ends and restores the structure along the length.
• Hot wrapis carried out with the help of nourishing oils. When heated, they penetrate the hair structure and scalp better. The ends are sealed, and the hair itself becomes shiny and silky.
• Pyrophoresis– also known as fire burning. A special keratin cocktail is applied to the hair, after which the hair is carefully treated with an open flame. Split ends disappear and do not form for a long time, thanks to the compaction of the hair structure.

For thickening fine hair

• Biolamination– has a positive effect on the hair structure, making the shafts denser and smoother.
• Glazing– a procedure that combines thickening of the hair shaft with coloring, however, there is also a colorless option. A protective keratin layer is created on each hair, which compacts the hair, making it more elastic.
• Kerathermy – straightening and compacting hair using a special keratin-containing product and high temperatures.

For thin hair

• Cold (nitrogen) mask – affects the scalp with low temperatures, alternately narrowing and expanding blood vessels, thereby providing an influx of nutrients to dormant hair follicles.
• Ampule effect. Concentrated vitamin and mineral compositions based on herbs and medicinal plants are applied to the scalp. They replenish the deficiency of nutrients, promoting the growth of new hair.
• Ozone therapy. A special ozone-oxygen mixture is applied to the scalp. Reduces hair loss and promotes the restoration of lost volume.

For hair growth

• Mesotherapy– injections into the root zone (to a depth of 2-4 mm), the injection composition of which is selected individually, depending on the specific problem of the client. Promotes acceleration of hair growth and awakens dormant follicles.
• Darsonvalization – effect on the scalp with low currents. Normalizes metabolic processes, promoting rapid hair growth and their thickness.
• Laser therapy– deep heating of the scalp with a laser. Under the influence of heat, blood flow occurs and metabolic processes improve.
• Plasmolifting – injections with the patient"s blood plasma, administered into the scalp. Improves metabolic processes, thereby promoting active hair growth.
• Carboxytherapy– in many ways similar to mesotherapy, with one difference – not nutritious vitamin cocktails are injected under the patient"s skin, but carbon dioxide. It activates regenerative processes in the skin, thereby promoting accelerated hair growth.

For hair shine

• Lamination– perhaps the most famous, and therefore the most popular procedure for giving hair a mirror shine. A fairly dense film is created on each hair shaft, which makes the hair shine in the light.

Crucial! Despite what many people think, lamination doesn’t treat hair! It only enhances their aesthetic appeal.

• Elumination– This is a gentle hair dyeing, as a result of which each hair is covered with a pigmented film. Thanks to the procedure, curls acquire beautiful color overflows and shine.
• Glazingoften make models before catwalk shows or photo shoot. Hair gets a glossy shine and visually appears more voluminous. However, the effect lasts no more than two weeks.

From hair loss

• Myostimulation – a procedure, like darsonvalization, is an effect on the scalp with pulsed current. Strengthens hair follicles, preventing hair loss.
• Iontophoresis – introduction of drugs under the skin using galvanic current. Prevents hair loss and weakening of hair follicles.
• Mesotherapy– shows good results in the fight against increased or seasonal hair loss. The composition is selected stronger than in the case of naturally rare hair.
• Plasma lifting– in case of hair loss, plasma is injected zonally – into bald spots and thinning partings.
• Ozone therapy– exposure of problem areas to oxygen, which penetrates into the deep layers of the epidermis, strengthening hair follicles and hair shafts.

Against dryness

• Keratin care (keratin masks) – replenishes lost moisture when the hair shaft is dehydrated, and also restores the structure of the hair, making it more nourished and smooth.
• Biolamination– a protective film created on the hair during biolamination prevents moisture evaporation from the hair shafts and, accordingly, prevents them from drying out.
• Nanoemulsions – a relatively new procedure, the essence of which is treating hair with vitamin and mineral cocktails selected depending on the problem – including dryness.

For straightening and smoothness

• Chemical straighteningis a classic procedure for making hair smooth for a long time. A special straightening chemical compound is applied to the curls, which slightly modifies the structure of the hair shaft. Currently, chemical straightening is somewhat outdated. Moreover, it is quite harmful to the health of the hair.
• Keratin straightening– hair treatment with a keratin compound, which, by filling structural voids, makes the hair straight and smooth.
• Brazilian straightening– differs from keratin in its more natural composition. According to the manufacturers, in addition to straightening, they are deeply nourished and restored.
• Japanese straightening– the most effective, safe and most expensive straightening procedure at the moment. During Japanese straightening, the hair structure changes at the molecular level. They are saturated with moisture, compacted and become smooth and straight.

Kindly take note! The process of Japanese straightening is laborious and can take up to eight hours.

Procedures for increasing volume

• BoostUp – gives hair noticeable root volume, using harmless cosmetics applied to the roots of the hair. Despite the fact that the procedure is classified as a perm, the hair after Boost Up remains straight – only volume is acquired at the root.
• Biowave– ​​hair perm using a special composition, more than 60% consisting of natural components. With the help of biowave, you can get both small curls and large Hollywood curls.
• Chemical perm – our grandmothers used this procedure to create crazy volume on their heads. However, the procedure is somewhat outdated, since it is exclusively cosmetic – the hair after it is greatly damaged and dried out.

Safe during pregnancy

• Haircut, polishing, processing with hot scissors. There is a widespread myth among women that hair cannot be cut during pregnancy, however, there is absolutely no scientific basis for this. Perhaps this misconception originates from folk signs. You can get a haircut during pregnancy in any of the listed ways.
• Hair coloring with henna/ammonia-free dyes, tint balms. The main condition for coloring during pregnancy is the absence of aggressive chemicals in the composition.

Regarding other processes, product makers frequently include a disclaimer stating that the item is safe to use while pregnant and has no negative effects on the developing fetus. You shouldn’t believe what they say. Make sure you discuss your concerns regarding the drug’s chemical makeup with your doctor prior to the procedure. Although the majority of them are safe for health, the chemical makeup of cosmetic fragrances can make some people sick or exacerbate toxicosis.

Overview of the most popular procedures

The majority of these techniques have already been covered in previous discussions, and some of them can handle multiple issues at once. They are on the list of the most well-liked and sought-after precisely because of their multifunctionality.

Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy is a therapeutic injection technique used to nourish and restore the hair and scalp. Many issues are resolved by the procedure, including dry scalp, slow growth, and falling hair. If you find injections intolerable, there is a laser method available.

Cost starts at 2000 rubles.

Lamination

Lamination is the process of applying a unique film to hair rods to transform sparkles and lifeless hair into a dazzling, mirror-like surface, similar to what you might see in a shampoo commercial. But this effect is purely decorative. After lamination, hair does not grow stronger or healthier.

Cost: starting at 1500 rubles

Darsonval

The process suggests that a low-power, high-frequency electric current will have an impact on the scalp. One benefit of this technique is that it eliminates the need for additional makeup. Following darsonvalization, hair stops falling out, grows more quickly, and the issue of dandruff and excessive scalp oiliness is resolved.

Kindly take note! Purchasing a darsonval device for your home can result in significant cost savings. The most important thing is to do as the manufacturer directs.

Cost: 300 rubles and up.

Plasmolifting

An additional injectable technique for hair and scalp restoration. Platelet-rich plasma is injected beneath the skin. Using a specialized centrifuge, the patient’s blood is extracted and divided into constituent parts. For the same reason, allergies and other adverse bodily reactions are avoided. (Further details on the process)

Starting at 8,000 rubles

Polishing

A focused haircut done with a specialized machine and an attachment is called hair polishing. It only removes split and broken hairs, leaving healthy hairs unaltered. For girls who are actively growing their hair but are self-conscious about their appearance and health, the procedure is great.

Beginning at 1200 rubles.

Glossing

The procedure is aimed at internal and external (or only external) restoration of the hair structure. There are two types of glossing:

• Molecular – nourishes the hair from roots to ends, restoring its structure from the inside.
• Cuticular – works only on the surface layer of the hair – the cuticle, smoothing the scales.

Hair gets silky, controllable, and style-friendly. The impact lasts for roughly three weeks. The procedure’s incompatibility with coloring is its primary drawback.

Starting price: 2,500 rubles.

Screening

Screening simultaneously addresses multiple flaws, including porosity, split ends, dryness, and lifelessness.

The process is comparable to lamination in many aspects, but it has a therapeutic impact instead of just being lamination.

Citation! Hairdressers advise alternating or combining screening and lamination to increase shine and smoothness.

Starting price: 1700 rubles.

Illumination

The simultaneous coloring and restoration of every hair, from roots to tips, is called illumination. Coloring and therapy have an instant impact that lasts for at least two months.

Cost starts at 1000 rubles.

Glazing

The process gets its name from the fact that each hair is coated in a "glaze" of strengthening agents and nutrients. Purchasing specialized tools will enable you to perform glazing tasks at home. Glazing does not weigh down the hair, unlike lamination and biolamination, which are frequently confused with the process.

Cost starts at 1000 rubles.

Carving

One type of chemical curling that is more delicate and safe is carving. Rather than curls as in the classic version, the procedure recreates light, romantic curls on the head.

Cost starts at 2000 rubles.

Botox

Except for the rejuvenating appearance, the process is completely different from beauty injections, despite the name. The application of specific masks and serums to the hair results in smoother, more nourished, and more elastic hair.

Cost: starting at 1,500 rubles.

Amino acids

This is a relatively new technique for straightening hair that smoothes over 95% of hair, even the most curly and coarse. The procedure’s effects can last for up to six months.

Cost: starting at 1,500 rubles.

Hair reconstruction

In an emergency, reconstruction is used to give hair that has been repeatedly dyed, permed, or straightened its luster, vitality, and smoothness. Products for hair reconstruction are fortified with vitamins, ceramides, and minerals to make up for the nutrients that have been lost. The procedure gives the curls new life and makes them look healthy, shiny, and smooth.

Cost: starting at 2,000 rubles.

Cautery

The process of smoothing hair scales with a specific makeup formula is called cautery. Nutrients fill the hair shaft to overflow, and the scales, going back to their original position, firmly retain them there.

Cost: starting at 1000 rubles

Milanese chic

Milan is a fashion, gloss, and luxury city. This is the result of the "Milanese chic" procedure: hair with opulent shine, volume, and smoothness. The combination of keratin and the vegetable oils of macadamia and argan produces this effect. The ideal level of keratin is attained and the hair cortex is reinforced.

Starting at 2200 rubles

Collagen

Technique-wise, collagenization is identical to lamination; however, its effects on hair are medicinal rather than cosmetic. The process eliminates split ends, creases, and the dryness and brittleness of the strands.

Cost: 1500 rubles and up.

Boost up

A girl with oily curls at the roots or straight, thin, and volumeless hair will find true redemption with this product. A "boost up" involves lifting the root zone and producing amazing volume without growing long curls. The procedure’s effects can last for up to six months!

Kindly take note! Boost UP is a laborious process that can take up to four hours to complete!

Cost: starting at 1,500 rubles.

Thermokeratin

A multipurpose process that addresses stiffness, dryness, tangling, and porosity all at once. Curls are treated with a unique keratin composition that, when exposed to temperature changes, penetrates the hair and repairs it internally.

Cost: starting at 1,500 rubles.

Nanoplasty

It is evident from the prefix "nano" that hair nanoplasty is a molecular structural restoration of curls. Nutritional components are added to nanoplasty products along with chemical activators that are safe for human health.

With nanoplasty, long-term problems with bleaching, coloring, and care can be fixed.

Cost: starting at 2,000 rubles.

Happiness for hair

The "Happiness for Hair" procedure first surfaced in Japan, and after receiving a lot of favorable feedback, it eventually spread around the globe. And it makes sense—you can strengthen, hydrate, soften, and nourish your hair and scalp in just one session! It takes five to six sessions to achieve a lasting effect. The product’s rich composition, which includes lipids, minerals, proteins, and active ingredients derived from plants, explains why it has such a multi-profile effect.

Cost: starting at 1,500 rubles.

Hair treatments with keratin. Why keratin?

Keratin has only been used in practical hair treatments recently, but it is somehow connected to most modern hair treatments. What is it, then, and why is it employed?

The unique protein compound known as keratin is what gives the human body its nails, skin, and hair shafts. Keratin-enriched compositions fill in the gaps and improve the condition of the hair shaft.

Salon treatments

• Coloring – this is a way to temporarily or long-term change their natural color to a new one. This happens due to the replacement of natural color pigment with artificial.
• Building – this is an opportunity to give your hair additional length and thickness by extension of strands. The material can be either artificial or natural.
• Toning – surface coloring of the hair shaft, in which the pigment is attached to the scales of the hair, and not under them.
• Coloring – a technique for dyeing strands of hair in different colors. Can be either single-color or multi-colored.
• Highlighting – lightening or dyeing individual strands using special auxiliary tools – a cap, comb, foil, etc. D.
• Biocurling– changing the natural structure of the hair to curls, using a special biochemical composition.
• Chemical perm – curling hair with chemicals. The effect lasts for six months or more, however, the hair structure is greatly damaged.

Numerous advantages come with salon hair treatments, such as deep hydration, damaged hair repair, and enhanced natural shine. The best treatments, like deep conditioning masks, keratin therapy, and scalp detoxification, are made to specifically target needs like strengthening, hydration, and frizz control. By using these treatments on a regular basis, hair health can be greatly enhanced, becoming more manageable and radiant.
