There are several salon procedures that help maintain the hair in a well-groomed condition, make the curls smooth, shiny, docile. These include hair lamination. It does not cure the strands, but reliably protects them from further damage and the influence of various negative factors. Lamination is of several types. To choose the best option, you need to know how they differ from each other. We will tell you in detail about all the nuances of the popular procedure, teach you the budget method of lamination of hair at home and explain the rules for further care of hair.
Features of the procedure
Luxurious hair - not only the gift of nature, but also the result of the right attitude to their curls. Too frequent blow-drying, styling with a curling iron or ironing, dyeing, curling, stress, poor health and even poor nutrition.
All this gradually destroys the structure of hairs, provokes a loss of moisture, leads to a separation of the tips and fragility of the hair along the entire length. Lamination makes it possible to prevent the destructive processes that occur inside and outside the strands.
During the procedure, a special composition is applied to the curls - a laminate. He covers the hair with a protective film and fills the voids in the hairs. The hair becomes smooth, radiant, supple, because lamination:
- fights dry strands
- reduces their fragility, split ends,
- prevents hair from electrifying
- improves the loose structure of curls,
- makes the color more saturated, especially after highlighting or coloring,
- gives the hair a healthy shine
- makes her obedient
- increases volume
- makes combing easier
- and if the composition is enriched with plant extracts and other beneficial substances, it nourishes the curls additionally.
Attention! Lamination is a cosmetic, not a medical procedure. However, thanks to a protective film, hair gets an opportunity to recover and rest from the influence of aggressive factors (paint, high temperature, chemicals, etc.).
Effect on different hair types
This procedure can be called almost universal. It is suitable for owners of hair of different lengths and thicknesses. The only caveat: the longer the strands, the longer it takes to apply the composition of the laminate, and the higher the cost of services in the barber shop.
As a rule, very short hair does not need lamination, so the masters often perform the procedure on haircuts on the square, curls of medium and considerable length.
There are no restrictions on the color of the hair either: a blonde or a brown-haired woman or a brunette, as well as a red-haired lady can laminate strands. To emphasize the beauty of a natural or artificial shade, a transparent cream laminate will suit (it is often chosen for bleached hair).
Those who like experiments will be delighted by multi-colored compositions that are good for dark and light strands.
Making hair smooth and manageable, lamination does not straighten it. This means that women can use the salon service, whose curls curl by nature or after a perm. After the procedure, the curls will become more alive, elastic, easier to fit. Also, laminating compounds will help in part to cope with the fluffiness of hair caused by different reasons. However, they do not completely eliminate the problem. Find out what are the features of the application of laminates for curly and fluffy strands, and what effect can be achieved in these cases.
Types of procedure
The purpose of lamination is always the same, but it can be achieved in different ways. There are several types of this procedure, which differ in the technology of implementation and the quality of the drug used. For example, cold lamination does not involve the use of additional tools, and the hot is carried out exclusively with the help of thermal devices (including ironing).
The silk variety is not only a restoration, but also a hair treatment. It does not even have contraindications. We will help you understand these and other variants of lamination, tell you about the advantages and differences from each other.

However, it is possible to protect strands from negative environmental factors and make them shine at home, and the result will not disappoint even fastidious beauties.
Professional hair lamination at home
First of all, you need to figure out what the procedure is. The structure of the hair is porous, on top of it cover the smallest scales. Under the influence of negative factors (weather conditions, the use of a hair dryer, ironing for styling) they exfoliate, which leads to lifelessness, dullness of strands, intersecting ends.
How is hair laminated and how much does this procedure cost?
Lamination protects hair from destruction by ultraviolet light, salty sea water and retains moisture even in hot and windy weather.

Lamination will fix the effect after a course of moisturizing and nourishing hair masks, since all valuable substances and moisture are permanently stored in the hair, continuing their healing effect.
Is it harmful to laminate hair?
The composition of hair lamination products is hypoallergenic, it does not contain silicone and its components, as well as preservatives, ammonia and hydrogen peroxide. The film on the hair is formed due to the temperature effect on the protein component of the means for lamination, and therefore it is harmless to the hair.
Hair Laminating Compounds

How to laminate hair?
Before lamination scrubs are used for the scalp, moisturizing and nourishing hair masks, wash the hair with deep-cleaning shampoo.
A lamination agent is applied along the entire length of the moistened hair.
A polyethylene cap is put on the head and kept and heated for 25-30min under a sushiuar.

After lamination, the hair is dried with a hairdryer. The whole procedure takes about 1 hour.
How often do you need to laminate hair?
Hair laminated once every 4-6 weeks. Lamination can be done more often, it will not bring harm, since the molecules of the lamination agent are strengthened only on the hair, and not on the film covering them, and therefore take only places in the loose hair segments and areas where the protective film has washed off.
Very chlorinated water quickly washes away the protective lamination film. Therefore, when visiting the pool, be sure to hide the hair under the swimming cap or you will have to laminate your hair more often (once every 3-4 weeks).

Advantages and disadvantages
The main advantages of lamination can be estimated with the naked eye:
- hair becomes more well-groomed, smooth, supple, shiny and silky,
- easier to lay,
- the hair gets protection from high temperatures, aggressive chemicals, ultraviolet radiation,
- You can choose a natural composition with nutritional ingredients,
- as well as independently laminating strands at home,
- allowed to perform the procedure after dyeing and curling,
- She has few contraindications and is suitable for many girls.
In addition to the benefits Lamination also has disadvantages:
- the fragility of the result - to maintain it, you must regularly repeat the procedure,
- high cost of service in the salon,
- the duration of the process
- the absence of a pronounced therapeutic effect is rather a cosmetic procedure, although it is used for restoring formulations,
- the need to follow the recommendations for hair care after lamination,
- the inability to do the staining while the film is holding up on the head of hair,
- the presence of restrictions.
Hairdressers assure that due to the absence of aggressive components in the laminating preparations, the procedure is not harmful to the hair. Because of this, you can perform it several times a year.
And if you choose a solution with a natural composition, it will be possible not only to protect the curls, but also to saturate them with nutrients.
However, lamination causes mixed reviews among doctors. Experts believe that the film spoils the strands and does not give them the opportunity to fully breathe.
Also, some doctors believe that the protective coating eventually destroys the hair shaft, taking the cuticles with it. Hair loses shine and becomes brittle, and this forces women to repeat the procedure again.
Attention! One of the negative effects of lamination - loss of curls. Owners of weakened, thick, heavy and too long strands, for which the protective coating becomes an additional burden, are more often affected by it.
Reflecting on the question of whether to care for hair in a similar way, stick to the golden mean. Do not abuse laminating solutions and refuse the procedure if there are contraindications. If you turn to an experienced master, choose a high-quality natural composition and properly care for your hair, you can get from lamination not minuses, but pluses.

- What is best for hair? shielding or lamination?
Means for shielding penetrate deep into the hair, aligning existing flaws. Lamination only affects the outer layer. To achieve the best effect, both procedures can be combined.
