Hair realignment: what it is, how it works and advantages of the procedure

Looking for ease in everyday life to tame unruly hair, with frizz and don’t have time for it? Well, know that there is a solution: capillary realignment. A procedure that promises volume reduction, shine, softness and hair straightening or curl definition, without formaldehyde.

What is hair realignment?

Hair realignment is a procedure for straightening the hair without the use of harmful chemicals, such as formaldehyde. The amino acids present in its composition are similar to those that naturally make up the hair fiber, so the product can also be used to define and nourish curls. Compared to progressive, which contains formaldehyde in its composition and only straightens the hair, realignment has excellent benefits. Botox, on the other hand, works in a similar way to realignment, by proposing volume reduction and hair nutrition, however, the duration of the product on the wires is shorter, only 1 month.

How it works

For straightening, hair feedback shapes curly hair into a straight shape by breaking molecular bonds in the hair, while for curl definition, it orders the hair to take shape. Check out how to apply the product step by step:

1. Wash your hair with anti-residue shampoo to ensure a deep cleaning of the strands and the opening of the cuticles to receive the product;
2. Dry the wires well and remove all excess water;
3. Apply the product by strands throughout the hair;
4. Then, dry the hair with the hairdryer and flat iron, to seal the product and straighten the hair. If you just wanted to define cases, skip to the next step;
5. Rinse your hair and remove all excess product, use moisturizing shampoo and conditioner;
6. Let it dry naturally or finish with the dryer.

However, this procedure is not permanent, it only lasts for 2 to 3 months. And although there are no contraindications, it is recommended to do a strand test before applying the product to check if you have any type of allergy or sensitivity to any component.

6 benefits of hair realignment

Shoo frizz, goodbye rebelliousness and bye dry wires! Welcome soft, shiny and straight hair. Check out the benefits that hair realignment can provide to your hair:

1. No formaldehyde: formaldehyde widely used in straightening, such as progressive, was replaced by serine nanoparticles, an amino acid extracted from the protein sericin, derived from the silkworm. This extract brings nutrition, shine and malleability to the hair.
2. Straightening or definition: you choose! The product contains amino acids in its formulation that nourish the hair, so you can use it for straight or curly realignment.
3. Nanoparticles in its formulation: the nanoparticles have great affinity with other proteins already existing in the threads such as keratin, which provides even more health to your hair.
4. Compatibility with other chemicals: the simultaneous application of products such as dyeing and bleaching are allowed, as the realignment provides nourishing assets to the hair.
5. Quick finish: the application process and product result is faster, compared to progressive, as you don’t have to wait days to wash or tie your hair.
6. Conserving the structure of the thread: the amino acids present in the concentration promote nutrition, at the same time that they smooth, therefore, they do not wear out the threads.

Pay close attention to the label of the products you will use in the application, and if you find it necessary, look for a professional to help you and ensure the desired effect on the wires.
