There are two types of procedures on the market of beauty industry services related to the effect of keratin protein on hair:
- Keratin straightening
- Keratin Recovery
The first product is essentially a type of chemical effect, the opposite of chemistry (instead of curls, hair straightens). To reduce the aggressive effect, the procedure is carried out simultaneously with protein care. Keratin straightening is performed when exposed to smoothing chemical compounds and high temperatures - the hair is “fixed” with a hot iron in a straight form. Some rectifying compounds contain formaldehyde, which can have a negative effect on the client’s and the wizard’s body.
Of course, such a procedure can be very traumatic for the hair, so before and after it is required to restore the hair, returning the lost moisture and protein. Otherwise, after the outer layer is washed, the hair can become brittle and brittle.
Keratin recovery is performed in order to fill the volume of natural keratin that has been lost by the hair cortex. The reasons for this can be many: this is the chemical effect during dyeing, perm or straightening, as well as improperly chosen care. For example, when using only shampoo, without conditioner (balm), the hair cuticle remains open and keratin is washed out more intensively. When combing the bristling cuticle prevents sliding and, as a result, the hair breaks and breaks.
The process of keratin recovery in the L’anza Empathy beauty salon using the L’ANZA Ultimate Treatment Deep Reconstruction procedure involves “reconstructing” the hair by returning protein-related keratin. Keratin amino acids (even smaller particles) penetrate into the hair and restore it from the inside.
Unlike chemical straightening, restoration using keratin does not destroy protein bonds when applied to the hair of a special composition, but on the contrary, fully returns lost keratin to hair, restoring it.
Hair after such treatment looks healthy and shiny. Such exposure is ideal for use after perm, dyeing, perm, straightening or resting at sea.

# keratin recovery or straightening? What? Whom? And where?
Not so long ago, faced with another misunderstanding. No matter how much I wrote: “do not confuse keratin straightening and keratin recovery” - it is useless. Still confused. You need to understand that trying to find a review and entering the request “reviews on keratin recovery” is the same as writing “reviews on moisturizer”. There are a lot of brands that produce such products, and in addition there are fakes. That is why I have to order at exorbitant prices, just to be sure that this product comes from the official suppliers of the manufacturer I need. Here I will try to describe as accurately as possible, what is the difference between the usual keratin recovery (pure keratin from Hipertin) and keratin straightening (cocochoco).
Keratin recovery. This procedure is intended only to restore the structure of the hair, so if your hair was curly - curly they will remain. Keratin, which is applied, fills all cracks and microdamages, returning the hair a healthy look. This is especially noticeable on very hardened hair. I know this by myself - after the third bleaching part of the hair fell off, some remained. And this is the thing that saved my hair from a tow-like condition. I think most people saw my hair now and they are in excellent condition. When I work on this composition, I work without gloves, without a mask. Because the composition that is applied is absolutely harmless to hair, skin and everything else. I did not have a single client who would not like the result. Because a priori, the hair can not become worse. Only a difference in the visibility of the effect. Undoubtedly, over time, keratin is washed out, and to prevent this from happening, you need to use laminating paints (formulations), and repeat the restoration procedure at least once every six months.
Let us turn to the differences.
Keratin straightening. Even in the title itself, the fact that the procedure harms the hair is already laid, it also changes their structure! It is regularly called keratin recovery, which is pretty damn annoying because first of all this procedure is designed for straightening, and to neutralize the effect of straightening from above the hair is covered with keratin (ie, restores), apparently much worse composition than from Hipertin. And it is not surprising that after 3-4 procedures, when you suddenly decided to stop doing it, all the keratin was washed off, the hair begins to look worse. Do you know why? I repeat. BECAUSE THAT IS RECTIFIED. When working on this composition, you have to wear gloves and a mask, because the fumes irritate the eyes to tears and the mucous to the throat. Feel the difference? I hope. In this area, a sufficiently large number of "craftsmen" divorced, therefore, only word of mouth. No photos will help you to understand, a good master or not.
I hope I managed to dispel a huge cloud of prejudices and misunderstandings in this matter. Good luck to you and your hair J
Keratin Recovery vs Keratin Straightening: What is the Difference
Let's see what is the difference between keratin recovery and straightening in order to get what we need.
In the first embodiment, the curls are soaked with a special composition, then straightened under the action of high temperatures. At the same time, it is not an open secret: on many otzovik girls write about an unpleasant smell that they hear while sitting in a hairdresser's chair. The process releases a dangerous carcinogen formaldehyde. But if there are mixtures without such a component in the formula, it is early to exult. To injure the hair shaft is really already at the stage of "soldering" hot. Overheating our shock oh so how does not love.
Keraplasty has nothing of that. It is produced by a completely different technology. On the locks on the strands is applied very useful for the hair composition, aged for a certain amount of time, washed off with water. There are subtleties of application, but now it’s not about them. The bottom line is that we do not heat anything with a hair dryer, do not wrap a head with a towel. No burning degrees are required. Neither formaldehyde nor other harmful elements are released. This option is safe for health. (Of course, we are talking only about quality products).
Masters offering keratin straightening as a “healing” aid will surely tell you that each hair will be covered with a keratin sheath. And this is supposedly useful, cool, and in general, as it was, this was done without prior knowledge. But take off the rose-colored glasses! In fact, the "breathing" of the hair itself is impeded, the natural physiological processes occurring in it are disturbed. In particular, there is no moisture access to the rods. Imagine: they are 2, or even 3 months to spend in "cellophane"! That is why trichologists who advocate for the well-being of curls, criticize this procedure.
When a keraplastic hair shaft "breathes", is in its natural state. And at the same time filled with magical keratin. Plus locks take all the vitamins, oils and other healing substances from cosmetic masks.
After keratin straightening, it is recommended that you wash your head with non-sulfate shampoos, so that the film stays in place longer.
After keratin filling in this cosmetics is not necessary. But, of course, detergents must be of very high quality, with the most gentle surfactants and natural ingredients. Ideally, it makes sense to use cosmetic products of the same company, on the preparation of which the hair reconstruction was performed.
The meaning of keratin straightening is to help girls with wavy curls to realize the cherished dream of straight hair. Remember the eternal: "smooth - curl, curly - straighten"? But keratin filling is not a way to change the image. The kucheryashki after him will not "develop." If you have made a chemical or biowave, be calm: the waves will remain in place.
Despite the many instructions from the Internet, how to straighten curls with keratin at home, it is desirable to hold this event under the supervision of a specialist. Independently quite difficult to sustain the entire process, calculate the desired temperature.
And keratin filling at home is easy to make! This is very convenient if you do not have time to visit the salon or you are in another city, and you need to urgently fix your hair. At the end of the article you will find a video of how this procedure is carried out. And you will understand that it is quite suitable for homework.
In short, it is done like this. For example, for the drug Saryna Key - first my head, in order to open the hair cuticle. Then we apply the composition along the strands. At the same time it is desirable to “mix” the mixture only on the damaged areas. (For example, at the tips or from the middle of the hair-rods). Healthy hair fill keratin makes no sense. Clamp each strand with your palms until foam is released. This means that the process is running and the miraculous transformation of the hair began. Withstand 5 minutes, wash off with water. We end the session with a mask suitable for your type of curls.
Of course, you need to read the instructions before use. And even better to consult a specialist practicing keraplasty. Plus, if you are a platinum blonde, it is advisable to wash your hair with a silver shampoo (yellowing neutralizer) after the “usual” shampoo before the procedure begins. After all, keratin, restoring strands, gives them a sunny shade. But these are nuances that you learn from the master if you are interested in this wonderful technique.
. And the most important thing!
As already mentioned, when keratin straightening worsens the "breathing" of hair rods, they are deprived of access to air and moisture. In addition, trichologists believe: because of the high temperatures there is a trauma to our "natural cap". As a result, we direct damage to the curls and often we observe more weakened and thinned hairs when the coating comes off. That's where the negative consumer reviews about this salon hit. As a blogger of beauty, I will express my opinion: in essence, keratin straightening is “chemistry”, but only for curly strands, so to say, biodevelopment. She will help them to keep straight. Do you do it in order to restore your hair-treasure, having heard a lot of advertising promises? Know: no renaissance in real life is happening.
But after the keraplasty, the curls gain strength and health. Especially if you perform it regularly: once a month or more often, as advised by a specialist. But in fact, the wow effect is already the first time. Even in severely damaged hair, the condition is noticeably improving, it is fascinating with its stunning brilliance, elasticity and beauty. There is a genuine reconstruction of the strands. This is the main difference between the two such procedures.
We found out: in one case we have the decoration, in the other - a real ambulance to the hair. It is the keratin filling that is addressed to the chevelure damaged by chemical perm, paint, blond powder, irons and other "charms of civilization". But I do not want to be a bore mentor and categorically discourage you from keratin straightening. It makes sense, if at night you dream of a graphic car, you want to straighten curly curls. The desire to change the image is so natural! In addition, it is believed that with all its flaws keratin-straightening is more gentle than chemical. However, it should be understood that in this time damage to the strands is not excluded.
By the way, both procedures can be complementary. Keraplasty can be performed before keratin straightening to saturate your precious locks with valuable substances. (But not after, otherwise the hair will not perceive useful components).
And further. If you are offered a keratin restoration in the salon, ask about the technology of implementation in order to get what you are counting on. In other words, make sure that you really make a kuraplasty. It is best carried out on high-quality preparations from a trusted manufacturer with a world name. This is a guarantee that you will get the best possible result and your curls will be perfect!
Here is a link to watch the video, how this innovative procedure is performed. You can also see for yourself that damaged strands are transformed in one session:

Definition
Lamination is the treatment of hair with a special transparent composition followed by coating them with a film that performs a protective function. This is a special mixture, which consists of various oils, dietary supplements and proteins. In the process of lamination, the scales of each hairs stick together and do not have the ability to release moisture, with the result that the strands acquire shine and visually appear much thicker. The advantage of this method of influence on the hair is that it does not become a contraindication when dyeing hair. Even on the contrary - lamination saturates the color and gives the hair perfect smoothness. This procedure is performed in the salons.
Keratin straightening - hair saturation with keratin, a substance that is their component. Thus, getting additional food, the whole hair is healed, and in addition, you can achieve the effect of perfectly smooth strands. During the procedure, the hair follicles are enriched with vitamins and trace elements. As in the previous method, the scales on the hair are closed, the curls become heavier and lose their fluffiness.
The goal of both methods is the same, and the differences are significant. Before you choose one of the ways to straighten hair, you need to know the difference between lamination and keratin straightening.
Effect duration
First of all, it is necessary to note the different duration of the achieved result. After lamination, the protective film is gradually washed off, and within 3-4 weeks there will be no trace of the effect obtained. Consequently, the procedure will have to be repeated every month. And the use of keratin allows you to save the achieved result for at least six months.
Therapeutic effect
The difference between lamination and keratin straightening lies in the fact that the lamination film from the hair structure is washed out unevenly, unlike keratin, and creates only a visual effect of brilliance and smoothness. The impact of external factors (sunlight, curling, dyeing or drying with a hair dryer) adversely affects the condition of the strands: natural keratin, which is part of them, is washed out. As a result, the hair gradually becomes thinner, drained and lose its shine.
Keratin treatment in this case is much more useful: with regular repetitions of the procedure, keratin accumulates in the hair structure, the curls heal, strengthen in the roots themselves.To date, this method is the most effective in the rehabilitation and restoration of damaged strands.
Conducting at home
Both procedures can be done at home, but in this case there are differences. Keratinization requires the use of special cosmetics, the choice of which requires a special approach, as the salons use high-quality raw materials. For self-lamination, you do not need to purchase special preparations. The composition can be made from ordinary gelatin.
In addition, during lamination, the effect is noticeable only after several sessions, although the technique and avoids the use of chemistry. Keratin straightening gives the desired result after the first procedure.
When visiting salons, the difference between these services is also felt in value. In comparison with keratinization, lamination is inferior in price and provides the possibility of dyeing curls.
