Straight hair is easy to style and manage and most of all, it looks beautiful. But not everyone has naturally straight hair. So, they have to resort to semi and permanent hair straightening techniques. This is where hair rebonding comes in. If you haven\u2019t got one done before, then here is what you can expect when visiting a hair straightening salon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hair Rebonding \u2013 What Happens In It?<\/h1>\n

Rebonding is a hair straightening treatment that pretty much turns your mane permanently straight until your hair grows out. It\u2019s similar to Japanese hair straightening<\/em>. The rebonding process can seem daunting especially if you don\u2019t know how it goes down, so here is what you can expect to happen.<\/p>\n

Washing The Hair<\/h3>\n

This is the preliminary step in almost all hair straightening and smoothening processes and that\u2019s to wash and dry the hair. There are two reasons why it\u2019s done. First is to get the scalp nice and clean<\/strong> and free from any oils and sebum. Secondly, it\u2019s done to evaluate your hair\u2019s natural texture, so that the next step can be catered to your needs.<\/p>\n

Applying A Hair Relaxer<\/h3>\n

Next comes the application of a hair relaxer. A hair relaxer is essentially the star of the show. This treatment breaks down the natural texture of your hair and makes it pin-straight. But before applying the treatment, the hair is sectioned into thin strands for the relaxer to work effectively.<\/p>\n

The relaxer is applied liberally on the hair and it is left for about 30 minutes<\/em>\u00a0while the stylist monitors the hair every few minutes or so to ensure that there isn\u2019t any apparent damage to the scalp.<\/p>\n

Steaming Hair<\/h3>\n

Once the 30 minutes are up, the stylist steams your hair using a special heat tool that’s specifically for rebonding. You will see that your hair is straight from this point on. The steam fuses the relaxer so that it\u2019s ready to be washed.<\/p>\n

Washing The Hair<\/h3>\n

Now, your hair will be washed and the relaxer will be removed. Your hair is also blow-dried to prep it for the next step.<\/p>\n

Sealing The Treatment<\/h3>\n

A keratin lotion is applied to seal the straight hair in place. Think of it as hair spray but brimmed with protein, meant to seal the strands. On top of the lotion, a neutralizer<\/strong> is applied to help the bonds settle and let the new hair be straight and not react to things like humidity, heat, and sweat. This combo is left in your hair for about 30 minutes or so.<\/p>\n

Washing The Hair<\/h3>\n

After the waiting game, your hair is washed for the last time and it is blow-dried and styled and that\u2019s pretty much it.<\/p>\n

Things To Know About Hair Rebonding<\/h2>\n

After understanding the process of hair rebonding treatment, here are some other things that you can expect or are good to keep in mind whilst going through the process of permanently straightening your hair.<\/p>\n

Hair Looks Glossy<\/h3>\n

One of the biggest selling points of a hair rebonding treatment is the fact that it makes your hair look shiny, smooth, and glossy<\/em>. It doesn\u2019t look damaged in the least and it makes your hair look extremely healthy. This fact, alone, makes people want to go for this treatment.<\/p>\n

It Is Damaging<\/h3>\n

All that glitters isn\u2019t gold and a hair rebonding treatment is no exception. Even though it\u2019s a permanent hair straightening treatment and it makes your hair look healthy and gorgeous, it will still damage your hair.<\/p>\n

Your hair might be prone to breakage and hair growth<\/a> might also halt. That\u2019s scary if you think about it. The chemicals used in the hair relaxer treatment are anything but healthy because they contain formaldehyde and aldehyde<\/strong>. They are the things that break down the hair protein and make it straight. However, some studies show that these chemicals can cause harmful health effects.<\/p>\n

It Is Expensive<\/h3>\n

Hair rebonding, since it\u2019s pretty much a permanent hair straightening treatment and there are a lot of steps involved in it, is quite expensive as far as hair straightening treatments are concerned. Depending on your hair length and the curliness, it can range anywhere between $200 to $50 when you add the service charges to it as well.<\/p>\n

This is quite a lot for a hair treatment, but it\u2019s also no surprise that it\u2019s one of the most popular treatments that women tend to go for, to sate their inner straight hair lover.<\/p>\n

It Needs Maintenance<\/h3>\n

You can\u2019t just get your hair rebonded and forget about it. Turns out, there is a lot of maintenance involved in making sure that the mane looks perfect at all times. Since your hair is on the brink of damage, you need to switch out your regular hair care products<\/em> for things that cater to straight and damaged hair. So, products with protein and keratin are what you want to bag.<\/p>\n

Also, you\u2019ll need to limit washing your hair to about once a week and you can\u2019t wash your hair for 3 days straight after the treatment is done.<\/p>\n

Results Are Better On Virgin Hair<\/h3>\n

This is something that a lot of women ask about and it\u2019s: Can colored or treated hair be rebonded? The answer is yes and no. That\u2019s because the results are better on natural and virgin hair that hasn\u2019t been treated with chemicals or has never been dyed before.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not to say that you can\u2019t get your colored hair<\/strong> rebonded, but since it\u2019s a damaging treatment and treated hair is already at risk of damage, it\u2019s better not to test the limits because your hair might get completely wrecked from the chemicals in the rebonding treatment and that\u2019s the last thing you need. Moreover, if do hair rebonding on dyed hair, it might also fade your dyed hair color.<\/p>\n

You Can\u2019t Use Hair Accessories<\/h3>\n

At least for a few months into the rebonding treatment, you should not tug on the hair too much and use Bobby pins or clips to hold the hair in place. You should even avoid putting your hair up too tightly in a ponytail because it\u2019s going to create a lot of tension in the locks and frizz will be a nightmare.<\/p>\n

So, for a few months, try to lay off on styling the hair<\/strong> and let your hair loose. You won\u2019t regret it and it will make your straight hair look more prim and proper.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Not A Regular Thing<\/h3>\n

You can\u2019t get a rebonding treatment now and then, like a keratin treatment or protein treatment. It\u2019s typically a one-time thing and it will leave your hair permanently straight for a solid 8 months<\/em>.<\/p>\n

You need to go back in for another rebonding treatment when your roots grow more than 3 to 4 inches and it makes the hair look irregular. That usually happens around the 8-month mark, so you\u2019re good to go until then. Don\u2019t make hair rebonding a regular thing because damage will follow suit.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h4>\n

Hair rebonding has made all of our straight hair dreams come true. It\u2019s seriously a treatment sent from hair heaven to cater to everyone who wants straight hair for more than a span of a few weeks. However, you should also understand the risks. If you have concerns, don\u2019t hesitate to consult the stylists at Japanese hair straightening salons Rockville<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
