  2. Lamination allows you to achieve double volume for those young ladies who, by nature, are the owners of thin, prone to hair loss. Thanks to the special composition, a visual volume appears, the composition raises strands at the roots.
  3. The main positive feature of lamination is considered to be the fight against split ends. After 3-5 procedures, improvement is noticed, the hair does not get tangled, and the damaged edges fall off on their own. We can say that the composition for lamination “seals” the damaged ends.
  4. Especially relevant is the lamination in the winter season, when many young ladies suffer from the problem of electrification of hair. Due to the fact that the tool 1/5 contributes to weighting, the statistical effect disappears.
  5. In most cases, girls and women whose hair has a slightly wavy structure resort to the procedure. The laminating agent straightens the strands and smoothes the flakes, contributing to the mirror effect.
  6. Professional craftsmen emphasize that home lamination with gelatin is completely safe. The composition can be called hypoallergenic, it is suitable for pregnant and lactating girls, as well as people with brittle hair. The exception is individual intolerance to the components.

Negative features of lamination

  1. Lamination has a different effect on a particular type of hair. For some women, the procedure will be a salvation from the ends, electrification, dullness. Other young ladies, on the contrary, will aggravate an already deplorable situation. For example, too stiff hair can become even coarser. Also, one cannot exclude the fact that the composition will not work at all.
  2. To carry out the procedure, namely to apply and rinse off the product, is much easier on short or medium hair. Long-haired young ladies will have to resort to the help of a friend who will carry out the treatment of the occipital area.
  3. In rare cases, after home lamination, the hair begins to oily quickly. This is because the composition clogs the pores, causing the glands to work at an accelerated pace. Girls with a fatty type of hair are recommended to be extremely careful.
  4. If you did not split ends before lamination and your hair was soft, the procedure may have the opposite result. Before applying the composition to the entire shock, it is recommended to do a test on a separate curl to prevent possible consequences.
