We all go through phases when we’re highly bored of the way our hair looks all the time. A little hair experiment never hurt anyone. However, it’s important to understand that the experiment does not leave you with dry or dead locks. If this New Year, you’re looking to give your hair a much-needed upgrade, then read on because we’re going to tell you all about Hair Rebonding and what it does to your hair.
What is hair rebonding?
Voluminous and textured hair looks stunning, but with that comes the task of keeping it tame. Most people get hair rebonding done to save themselves of the trouble of battling with their mane every morning. Hair rebonding is a chemical treatment that makes your hair smooth, shiny and easy to maintain. Your hair is made of amino acids and each type of hair has a natural bond. These proteins are connected by bonds which determine the nature of your hair – wavy, straight or curly. The relaxant present in the rebonding treatment breaks your original hair structure, and a neutraliser bonds the structure again, making your hair sleek. This restructuring process is known as hair rebonding.
How to care for rebonded hair?
Hair rebonding involves the use of harsh chemicals and it’s a process where your hair is exposed to extensive heat. That is why it’s important to take utmost care of your hair after the treatment. Firstly, avoid washing your hair for at least three days as your hair takes time to settle into its new structure. Secondly, to avoid any creases in your newly structured hair, give up on hair ties and never tuck your hair behind your ears. Thirdly, go to bed with straight hair. This might be a little difficult to manage, but to not let your hair lose its shape, it’s important that your hair is mostly straight when you go to bed for the three days before washing it. Fourthly, avoid heat styling. If at all you need to use a blow dryer, use it on the cool setting. Lastly, do not rush into coloring your hair. For at least six months, do not put your hair through any more chemicals.
Is rebonding harmful to your hair?
Any hair treatment that involves chemicals is bound to change the texture and quality of your hair. Excessive use of chemicals tends to make your hair dry and weak. It is, therefore, necessary to pamper your hair post the rebonding treatment.
