Hair shielding procedure: stages, description, effect of use

Send

Adapting to the huge number of different problems and diseases of hair, cosmetology has developed a huge number of ways to care for hair. Lamination as a method has become widespread in the CIS countries, but not in Western countries, where such a procedure name is simply absent.

In domestic salons, marketers have developed many variations of the lamination procedure. Among them, it is worth to separate the screening. Why? Screening is a special procedure that allows you to feed the hair, but not just provide surface elements with useful elements, but to do it from the inside - at least, so do craftsmen and marketers.

Shielding is the procedure of covering a hair with a thin substance from a natural polymer or their mixtures, which have a high susceptibility to hair tissue, which means they can create a film around them that can improve the volume or change its mechanical properties. This implies that the hair will be better styled, and, if required, with the addition of certain additives, they can be made more elastic and resistant. Shielded hairs are more easily manipulated with the shape of the hairstyle.

Screening can be quite successfully combined with conventional lamination, but it is necessary to keep order. The first procedure affects the core of the hair, and the second - on the outer layer, respectively, first you should first apply shielding, and then lamination. In addition, the shielding properties are partly due to the fact that the active polymer is soy protein, which has a much greater susceptibility to hair tissue, at the same time, amino acids are used as additives.

How is screening different from lamination?

Despite the first impression and deceptive similarity of the effects and the procedure itself, the screening is significantly different from lamination. These procedures have different complexity of execution, differ in the means used. The feature of shielding is that during the procedure three main means are used (at the same time, only one is used in lamination):

Air conditioning
Vivifying oil
Oil fixing

The first tool allows you to untangle the hair and distribute it on the strands, and also due to the correction of the pH level it normalizes their condition and makes them susceptible to the effects of subsequent substances. Thus, the conditioner allows you to affect the deep porous structure of the hair - in contrast to the classical lamination, which succumbs to the porous structure. Also, the conditioner smoothes the cuticle, improving the quality of hair, reducing the thickness of the outer covering layer. However, the strands are not weighed down. When adjusting the amount of air conditioning can adjust the size of the film. For thin or sparse hair, a film of greater thickness is suitable than normal, for example.

Vivifying oil (as the main active ingredient) penetrates into the deepest structures of the hair, filling its pores and providing it with necessary nutrition for a long time. The active elements can be both natural plant extracts, animal extracts, bee production products, or synthetic substances (mainly supporting ones). Due to the fact that they penetrate deep into the structure, they are not so much provoke an allergic effect. Moreover, life-giving oils undergo premature testing, which also increases the level of safety.

On the other hand, it should be remembered that the use of certain substances can be very fashionable, but useless. After all, the hair first need protein feed, if that is your goal. Also filling the internal pores of hairs significantly affects their mechanical properties. Shielding increases the elasticity of the curls and makes them vitreous.

Fixative oil can also have nutrients, but nutrition is not its main task. Fixative oil can and should:

To shape
Add volume
To strengthen
Increase the duration of the shielding effect.
Shine

The final oil has two main properties:

Mechanical resistance to water as a solvent, a large hair strength, greater resistance to styling and almost complete, which is typical for lamination, lack of conduction of static electricity.
Optical properties of the outer film: the brilliance and reduction of the action of ultraviolet rays. When shielding, a significant increase in the "glow of hair" is observed. It makes the color more fresh, and also keeps the colored curls well.

The fixation of the latter means occurs by thermal means, in other words (as many masters say) the oil is “sealed”. Thus, the final layer hardens and closes the outlet for water and beneficial substances, but allows air to pass through, so the hair continues to “breathe”.

How often do screenings need to be done

The shielding mode is much more complex than conventional lamination. Procedures should be repeated 5 times at intervals of ten days, a repeated course of procedures will be appropriate in six months. It is noticeable that after shielding there are much fewer complaints about a failed procedure or low resistance than after lamination. The reason can be considered a high susceptibility of hair to active substances, as well as the depth of their penetration.

If the wizard offers a different scenario, for example, to perform a full screening in one go, the effect can be achieved for six to eight weeks.

How to perform hair shielding at home

Unlike biolamination, there are no recipes for home procedures that would correspond to the one that is carried out in the salon. The only way out is to familiarize yourself with the line of funds intended for shielding and perform the procedure at home.

For this you will need:

Actually, the means. Well proven kits for screening firms Kemon, Estel, Paul Mitchell. The price of these funds will be very high, but the quality can be expected from them the best. In any case, it will still be cheaper than carrying out the procedure in the salon.
Warm water. During the procedure, all components will need to be abundantly and frequently washed away, so it is necessary before the procedure begins to take care of access to the right amount of water at a suitable temperature.
Hair dryer and towel to dry and maintain the desired temperature.

Screening actions are performed in the following sequence:

Wash hair, preferably with professional shampoo - do not wash it off for 2-3 minutes.
Apply the conditioner evenly, spreading over the entire length, without missing parts.
Dry your hair with a towel. It is important not to dry, not to wipe, namely, lightly dip the hair so that water does not drip from it, but so that it remains sufficiently moist.
Apply the main tool - life-giving oil. Since it is aggressive in its essence, do not allow it to fall on the skin of the hands, neck, face, as well as eyes and mucous membranes. After ingestion - rinse with plenty of water or take measures indicated in the instructions: apply on the affected skin, not sparing, a layer of fat cream to avoid the formation of burn spots. As a rule, manufacturers together with a kit for one procedure pack a pair of disposable polyethylene gloves. Do not neglect this security measure.
After the end of the holding time, rinse off with plenty of water. It is also necessary to strictly observe the exposure time, as long-term influence can, on the contrary, significantly worsen the condition of the hair, make it dull and brittle.
Intensively dry hair with a hair dryer.
Apply a tonic.
Once again intensively dry the hair with a hair dryer in a gentle way.

As a rule, after the consecutive execution of all points, the effect appears almost immediately. Escaping as a method justifies its high cost and laborious execution of a good result. No wonder they say, beauty requires ... not sacrifice, but patience. Be patient and love your hair!

each hair feeds from the inside, is moistened and regenerated,
naughty strands get a well-groomed look, no longer look disheveled, disheveled,
the color becomes more saturated, bright, retains its brilliance longer,
impact on strands of various mechanical or chemical damage due to dense glossy film is reduced,
laying shielded strands takes less time
Hairstyle appears volumetric appearance.

With each subsequent time, the results are becoming more visible, there is an effect of accumulation of useful properties. However, if the strands are oily, the improvements will not be noticeable.

Drying strands without hair dryer. You can just blot them with a towel.
Spraying oil over the entire length of the strands. Especially carefully it is necessary to put it on the dry ends. The thinner the hair, the less money you need to splash. Keep the composition should be 15 minutes.
Flushing oil, drying with a hot dryer.
Putting oil for gloss, drying with cold air from the hair dryer.

The main thing - to ensure that the funds do not fall into the eyes, on the skin of hands, face. It is better to do everything in gloves with a large mirror or ask for help from girlfriends.

Reviews about salon and home screening

Hair shielding, the photo before and after which differs quite significantly, allows to evaluate the effect of the procedure even with the naked eye. The client does not observe any protruding strands, interfering curls or slick hair for 3-4 weeks. Here, for example, two photos of the client before and after carrying out the shining.

Hair shielding, reviews of which are often positive, gives the hair a healthy shine, volume and smoothness. No matter where they did it - at home or in the cabin - the result is impressive in both cases. Here are a few reviews about this simple technique:

Ira, 18 years old

“The friends made a gift for coming of age - a screening coupon. I absolutely love it. My hair sticking out in all directions became straight and smooth. Now I don’t look like a kikimora, the hairstyle makes me happy all day long with sheen and well-groomed appearance. I will definitely repeat the campaign to the master when the effect disappears. ”

For those who have never used such a technique, it is recommended to watch the training videos with useful tips. The whole procedure in the salon or at home is explained in great detail; after viewing, no questions arise about applying the preparations.

What is the procedure?

Escaping is a medical treatment for hair, which is aimed at saturation of curls with nutrients, restoration of their structure. Strands become hydrated, acquire reliable protection from external factors. The effect of glossy hair is obtained by covering the curl with a thin protective film.

Special tools used for the procedure, contain oils, soy protein, amino acids and other valuable components. The screening is colored and transparent - the composition is selected based on current tasks and the wishes of the client. In the Russian salons most often used tools such brands as Estel and PaulMitchell.

Differences from lamination

Lamination - salon procedure, which involves applying to the hair of professional cosmetics, which create a protective film. The main components of special formulations are soy and wheat proteins, vitamins, bioactive substances.

The mask is evenly distributed over the surface of the curls and left for half an hour, then carefully washed off. This time is enough for each hair to be covered with a resistant coating that protects it from negative external factors and smooths the structure.

Color shielding formulations give the effect of light dyeing, the pigment is washed off within a couple of weeks, but it is completely harmless to the hair. If coloring does not interest you, stop on a transparent composition.

The effect of lamination is as follows.

Beautiful, well-groomed hair, smooth, shiny hair.
A protective film is created on the surface of the curls that blocks the negative impact of external destructive environmental factors.
Disposal of the section, breakage.
Giving volume.
Longer color retention after dyeing (first, the hair is dyed, then laminated).

Resilience results from 4 to 6 weeks, but a lot depends on how often you wash your hair - if often, the composition will be washed faster.

The effects that screening gives are as follows.

Giving smoothness and shine to hair, but to a lesser extent than during lamination.
Improvement of curls from the inside, restoration of their structure.
Weighting the hair, eliminating the effect of puffing.
Increase the volume of hair.

Resilience results - 2-4 weeks (again, it depends on the frequency of washing hair).

The mechanism of influence on the hair structure

The mechanism of action of active drugs in shielding is to create on the surface of the hair a protective oil coat that aligns the structure and performs protective functions. The cuticle is smoothed, which is especially noticeable on heavily damaged hair.

Indications and contraindications to the procedure

Hair shielding is a real salvation:

for dull, lifeless hair,
from hair dryer, thermo tongs, irons,
for melirovannyh, bleached curls.

Any negative external influences, frequent aggressive cosmetic procedures are indications for screening. Hair will be restored from the inside, become strong and shiny.

Do not do the procedure for exacerbations of scalp, alopecia, idiosyncrasy of the active components of the drug. With increased greasiness, shielding is not recommended - otherwise the curls may become even fatter and not well-groomed.

How is the screening in the cabin?

Consider how hair shielding is performed in a beauty salon.

The hair is thoroughly washed with shampoo, then the master applies special preparations to the locks. There are usually three of them, but maybe more (depending on what type of shielding is being done).
The compositions are aged on the hair for an hour to maximize the penetration of nutrients. Then they are washed away.
Curls are slightly dried, shielding mixtures are applied on their surface. Waiting time - up to 30 minutes.
The hair is dried by a hair dryer to speed up the reaction of the drug. The master ensures that the warm air is distributed as evenly as possible.
On the surface of the hair is applied a special balm, fixing the results of the procedure.

That's all - the curls are dried with a hair dryer, and the client, satisfied with the new image, goes home. You can not wash your hair for two days.

Popular tools

To carry out shielding, you will need to purchase a special set - this can be done at any specialized store of professional products for hairdressers. We recommend to pay attention to the drugs from "Estel" - affordable and easy to use.

The kit includes:

conditioner - it is used for the first wash, to unravel the curls and prepare them for the penetration of nutrients,
oil - it is responsible for the results of shielding, penetrates deeply into the structure of the curls, adds shine, moisturizes, creates a protective screen,
masks and lotions for care, fixing effect.

Main steps

The stages of home screening will be the same as during the procedure in the cabin.

Cleansing - apply a special shampoo for deep cleansing on hair, foam it up, rinse it off.
Use a lightly dried clean curls balm. Distribute it to the entire length, after a few minutes, rinse with water.
Apply shielding agent and evenly comb it with a comb with thin broad teeth. Leave on the hair for half an hour.
Rinse the curls and use fixative oil. Oil flush is not required.

Hair care after shielding

For the effect of shielding to last as long as possible, use after the procedure, special care products - shampoo and mask. They are all well-known manufacturers of professional cosmetics for hair. If you wash your hair every day, the screening composition from the curls will take just a couple of weeks.

Pros and cons of screening

In conclusion, consider the strengths and weaknesses of the screening procedure.

The tips are sealed, the strand structure is restored, and the elasticity increases.
Fragile strands receive reliable protection from the effects of negative external factors.
Hair easily and comb hair, almost tangled.
A luxurious three-dimensional effect of radiance appears, the surface of the curls shines beautifully.
The hairstyle becomes strong and voluminous, the effect of voluminous, thick hair is created.
Leaves a fag.

In addition, the shielding can be done at home, which will allow you to save a lot.

The main drawback is the short-term effect, but with each new procedure it will last longer, as valuable substances accumulate in the hair. It also increases the stiffness of the curls that do not like the owners of the already not the most soft hair.

Conclusion

Escaping is a medical procedure that restores the structure of the curls from the inside. It involves the use of special compounds that fill the hair, make it strong and strong, restore the structure, give elasticity and healthy shine.

An inconspicuous protective film is created on the surface of each hair, blocking the destructive effects of environmental factors. Exactly the same is formed during the lamination, but the lamination procedure does not restore the curls, but only gives them volume, softness, elasticity and shine.

The shielding is not suitable for oily, very long, thick and heavy hair - the corresponding manipulations will only worsen the appearance of the hairstyle. They do the procedure most often in the salon, but you can purchase the appropriate formulations and apply them at home by yourself. To keep the effect as long as possible, use special tools after shielding. Over time, nutrients will begin to accumulate in the hair, and repeat the procedure will have much less.

Screening compositions are transparent and colored. Results easy light staining lasts for 2-3 weeks. Sharp transition to several color tones of the coloring composition will not allow you to achieve.

The essence of the method

Escaping is a procedure that has both a cosmetic and a healing effect. During its implementation, due to the deep penetration of nutrients and caring substances, damaged hair shafts are restored, their water balance is normalized. On top of the hairs are covered with a protective glossy layer (film), which gives shine, smoothness and reduces the negative impact of environmental factors: sudden changes in weather, wind, frost, ultraviolet rays, high temperatures. After the procedure, strands become more voluminous, resilient and elastic, easier to style in any hairstyle.

The result of shielding will be noticeable immediately. After the first time, it will last from one to three weeks depending on the initial condition of the hair and the characteristics of their care. Frequent washing of the head contributes to the more rapid disappearance of the applied protective film. A feature of hair shielding is a cumulative effect. Many masters to achieve good results are advised to conduct a course of 5-10 sessions with an interval of 2-3 weeks. Repeated course can be performed in 6-10 months.

The composition of professional tools to perform the procedure includes:

amino acids
squirrels,
natural oils
ceramides
vitamins
plant extracts.

There are two types of shielding. Transparent enhances the shine of the hair, preserving their natural shade. Colored gives shine and at the same time the desired shade with the help of safe dyes that do not contain ammonia, hydrogen peroxide and other aggressive chemical components, although the stability of this toning is lower than with conventional dyeing.

Interesting: According to the visually observed effect, shielding has similarities with lamination. However, during lamination, a protective film is only applied to the hair, but the active components do not fall inside the hair shaft. For the best effect, many hairdressers advise to combine these two procedures.

Considering that shielding is considered primarily as a therapeutic effect, it will suit the fair sex with the following hair problems:

dryness,
damage after frequent dyeing, straightening, curling,
fragility
dullness, deterioration of color,
the deterioration of the appearance due to the constant use of thermal devices for styling (curling iron, tongs, ironing, thermal curlers),
split, thinned tips.

This procedure is not recommended for women with oily scalp, as it can aggravate the situation even more.

Stages of

Screening in a salon or barber shop consists of the following steps:

Washing head.
Alternate application to wet strands of special formulations.
Keeping the active ingredients on the hair for some time.
Flushing applied funds.
Drying hair without the use of a hair dryer.
Putting shielding mixes.
Uniform drying at high temperature for faster absorption of useful substances.
Applying a special fixing balm.

Special preparation for shielding is not required. In the case when the hair is too weak, it falls out strongly, splits, there is a lot of dandruff or problems with the scalp, it is recommended to consult a trichologist and undergo a course of treatment. Before performing the procedure for a couple of days, it is better to correct the shape of the hairstyle or trim the ends of the hair, if necessary.

Home procedure

You can perform the procedure at home if you purchase special professional tools. In this case it is necessary to do hair shielding, strictly adhering to the instructions included in the package for the preparation. For example, when performing its compositions from Estel, you must act in this order:

Carefully wash your hair with shampoo and dry your hair with a towel.
Using a spray gun, apply a two-phase conditioner and distribute it evenly over the entire length of the strands.
Put your hands on strands Oil Q3 Therapy or Q3 Blond, retreating 2-3 cm from the roots, to the tips. The more damaged they are, the more oil they use.
Comb strands for even distribution of the product.
After 15 minutes, apply Q3 Luxury oil shine, spraying it over the entire length of your hair, and carefully comb it.
Perform hot styling with a hair dryer or ironing.

A couple of days after shielding, it is not recommended to wash your hair in order to better absorb the active ingredients. In the further care, you should use alkaline-free shampoos and apply a balm from electrification of hair after each washing of the head.

Advantages and disadvantages

As with any other procedure, screening has pros and cons. The advantages are greater than the disadvantages. The positive effects for hair include:

treatment, hydration and nutrition of the damaged structure of the hair shaft from the inside,
easier combing, obedience in laying or no need to do it at all,
elimination of excessive fluffiness and tangle of strands,
thickening, reducing fragility,
increase the volume of hairstyles by about 1/3,
appearance of healthy natural shine,
the ability to change the shade
protection from the harmful effects of the environment,
the possibility of holding at home.

On the other hand, there is a not very long period of action due to the gradual leaching of the composition, the high cost of the compositions and the procedure in the salon, the electrification of the hair after washing the head. Hair becomes more rigid and heavy due to increase in their durability. Can not be used for oily hair.

Contraindications

Screening is contraindicated in the following cases:

allergic reactions to the ingredients that make up the ingredients used,
fungal and other diseases of the scalp,
injuries and damage to the integrity (sores, scratches, cuts) of the scalp,
severe alopecia.

Also, the procedure is not recommended for at least two weeks after hair bleaching or perm is performed. On initially thick and thick hair, the effect of shielding will be poorly noticeable, in this case, preference should be given to glazing.
