Hair glazing is considered a luxury service in hairdressing. Many Hollywood and domestic stars have long fallen in love with her for her incredible miraculous properties, instantly refreshing and turning her hair into a real masterpiece. And all because the product contains a large amount of ceramides and other moisturizing components. It should also be noted that there are color and colorless techniques. But let's not get ahead of ourselves, about everything in order.

How it works?
This technique, according to the principle of operation, has many similarities with biolamination. The only difference is that in this case the hair is not covered with a thin film, but each cell is filled with ceramides. Penetrating into the structure, they solder the scales, which becomes the natural protection of women's strands from the harmful effects of the environment. These substances are lipid molecules that fill all the free space in the outer layers of the cuticle, making the hair smoother and more silky. The result of such manipulations is a luxurious hairstyle, characterized by silkiness, elasticity and lack of fragility.
Advice! Glazing is considered a decorative cosmetic procedure aimed at increasing the visual volume and density. And if your hair does not need a complete treatment, you can do it partially.
Who is it recommended for?
As you already understood, only those women who are disappointed in their own appearance pay for such experiments. This happens very often. Nowadays, many factors can affect the condition of curls: environmental pollution, constant staining, unhealthy diet, stress, the use of hair dryers, curls and irons, and much more. Therefore, it is necessary to highlight the following reasons for visiting a beauty salon in order to transform the initial data:
- The presence of a large number of split ends.
- Dryness and thinning.
- Strengthening the existing tone.
- Giving a color more brightness and changing it into several shades.
- Protection against harmful environmental influences.
As in any other case, this technique has a number of contraindications, namely:
- Alopecia;
- Various diseases of the scalp;
- Abrasions, hematomas and other injuries of the integument.
Advantages and disadvantages
Naturally, we will start with obvious advantages. Below is a list of the main positives:
- The composition, with the help of which the stylist will give your hair shine and volume, is completely harmless. It does not contain ammonia and other harmful chemical compounds. In addition, ceramides, which we often talk about today, thicken and strengthen each hair by restoring the strength of the protective layer of the cuticle.
- Some procedures for owners of long thin curls are simply not available due to their strong weight from the applied drugs. Experts say that glazing has no such side effects. Hence the statement that every modern fashionista can afford this procedure.
- Having done such manipulations, you can forget about coloring, because the master will change the existing color, if you wish, by two tones.
- You can easily mix any palettes you want.
- Hair is combed very easily, and styling is performed many times faster.
- The strands look more luxurious than those of Hollywood celebrities. It acquires incredible shine, silkiness, smoothness and volume.
- Ceramides do an excellent job of protecting against aggressive environmental conditions.
Now let's talk about the negative aspects:
- Glazing does not tolerate the neighborhood with staining, therefore, after the procedure, you cannot change the color of the curls with the help of harmful chemical products.
- The effect is not durable and durable. You will see the changes already from the first shampooing.
- As mentioned earlier, this technique has no healing and healing properties. It is considered a decorative cosmetic "operation" with little benefit.
Moving on to the process
You have probably already guessed that in this case, as in any other, there are subtleties and peculiarities. Therefore, if you have never encountered this method of processing hair, we advise you to carefully read this section.
Advice!Beginners who do not have certain skills and knowledge run the risk of making many mistakes. Therefore, experts recommend performing such manipulations exclusively in a beauty salon under the strict supervision of a real professional in his field. Before signing up for a specific day, read the information on women's forums and beauty blogs. Perhaps the girls who have already experienced this procedure on themselves will recommend the masters to you.
So let's move on to the main features. After you sit down in an easy chair and relax, ready to trust the hands of an experienced specialist, at the initial stage he must assess the current state of affairs. A good stylist will definitely examine your hair for split ends, pay attention to the thickness and porosity of your hair. Next, he will ask questions about how long ago the dyeing was done, whether there was a perm, and he will certainly ask how quickly a fat layer appears on the tips and at the roots. After the analysis, he will offer you two options: colored or colorless glazing. Let's talk first about the second:
- First, you need to thoroughly cleanse your scalp. This is done with a special shampoo specially formulated for this purpose.
- The curls dry out, and if there are areas with weakened and thin hair, it is necessary to "straighten" them by applying an indelible restoring compound.
- Then the glaze is applied. In this case, the head should already be completely dry.
- After 15-20 minutes, you can repeat the previous step. Only your master can talk about the required number of layers, for this he examined the condition of your curls.
- The next step is to rinse your head without using shampoos or balms.
- The entire area to be treated is sprayed with a foam stabilizer to help consolidate the result.
- After five minutes, we again send our head under a stream of warm water.
- Apply conditioner and style your hair.
Transformation in color
We have already described the essence of this technique earlier, so you already have a rough understanding of what will happen in the process of processing your hair. The stages of this option have similar features to the previous one, a distinctive feature is only the fact that coloring pigments and an oxidizing agent will be added to the mixture.
Exposure time:
- When lightening, the duration is 10-15 minutes;
- With permanent curling - 15-30 minutes;
- At the first signs of gray hair - 30-40 m;
- With a large number of gray strands - 35-40 m.
Advice! It is possible to use a hair dryer, but be prepared for the glazing effect to last for only 2-3 weeks.
Home experiments
As you already understood, the process is not difficult, even an inexperienced woman can do it. But be prepared for the fact that you cannot do without professional cosmetics. And remember: no irons or hair dryers, everything should dry naturally!
Today, the most popular are the products of Matrix and Estelle. The first package includes the following:
- Cream paint (safe and gentle, without ammonia and other harmful substances). It can be transparent or colored. The choice is yours.
- Activator cream.
In the packaging from Estel Professional you will find:
- Chromoenergy complex;
- Care paint (colorless or with pigments);
- Activator 1.5%.
Advice! Strictly follow all recommendations in the instructions. Otherwise, the result can only disappoint you.
By the way, in the same cosmetic store you need to purchase a professional shampoo. You will use it during the first step on the path to transformation - deep cleansing of the scalp. Some stylists argue that this is not a requirement, so you can save money on the purchase of the above product.
Cost in the salon
Unlike lamination, shielding and biolamination popular today, the procedure does not cost more than 2,000 rubles. If your hair barely comes down to your shoulders, you will not spend more than 1200 rubles.
Reviews of women
All modern women of fashion who have already tried this manipulation often write laudatory reviews. There are very few negative opinions, and they are formed solely due to a lack of understanding of the intricacies of technology. But we'll talk about this later, but for now one important fact should be noted: girls continue to perform such procedures from time to time, because the effect from them is simply stunning!
But why are there negative characteristics from bloggers and ordinary lovers of newfangled salon services? And all because some of them are very unhappy with the duration of the effect. But few people understand that it entirely depends on the initial parameters and care for the hair.
As you know, keratin begins to wash out already during the first shampooing. Therefore, you need to purchase special gentle shampoos and balms so that the result will please you for a longer period. Also, curls that are too thin and lifeless can quickly lose visible shine. For owners of such hair, stylists recommend doing a correction every four weeks.
Advice! Try to wash your hair as little as possible. Some are accustomed to doing this every morning before work, which is completely unnecessary.
Concluding this article, I would like to remind you of the following important aspects: glazing is not a medical, but a cosmetic "operation", therefore, with the help of it, you will not be able to solve the problems associated with cutting, thinning and other defects. You will have to fight them on your own. All kinds of masks will be excellent helpers in this matter. By the way, you can cook them yourself: products such as honey, lemon, mustard powder, vinegar, kefir and an egg are always in the refrigerator of any self-respecting housewife.
