What is the name of the root. Permed hair perm: to do or not? Hair care after the procedure

The experience of the boost-up procedure is sad for me. Now, every time I see my hair in the mirror, I get annoyed to such an extent that I even decided to leave a review.

What a procedure: ordinary chemistry (20 years ago my mother did this, however, it was called not boost up, but "root chemistry"). And the composition for chemistry is used, there are no "special compositions" for the boost up. The know-how of Mrs. Glinka lies in the fact that she came up with the idea of \u200b\u200bcurling the hair roots on metal hairpins, thus creating a corrugation as a result. So, not all chemical compounds can interact with metal, therefore a "special composition for boost up" is a composition for the chemistry of some manufacturers that does not react with metal.

What is "perm" and what harm it does to hair, I think everyone understands. The consequences are also known to everyone, no matter how they talk about sparing modern compounds and natural ingredients, chemistry - it is chemistry.

About my case. I tried on this procedure for a long time, they began to do it in the salon, which I have been visiting for 10 years, that is, I know all the masters well, we have friendly relations. My hair is thin, not bulky in itself, but healthy enough (was). The procedure is very long, 5 hours, but for the sake of beauty, you can be patient. As a result - yes, there is volume, no doubt. The volume is ... In the form of comb or African hair after straightening. In the salon, of course, they pulled my hair with a brush in order to straighten it as much as possible, at home I got used to treating my hair in a more gentle way.

As a result, I got chemically dried, broken hair. The difference with the ends is very visible (if you have straight hair like mine). the dye was washed with chemistry on the top of the head, and dyeing your hair immediately after a perm ... You understand, it's not very good. Although I always paint with ammonia-free dyes (they say, I took care of my hair ..

After the procedure a month is still nothing, the volume is not bad, you really have to wash your hair less often. And now, after a month and a half .. The roots have grown, and the head has become just square! The hair doesn’t just climb, it’s just broken, it splits strongly, no masks and creams in huge quantities help. Constant drying, drawing with a brush, tongs .. From the outside it may look good, but the condition of the hair is terrible.

And yet - when washing, the crown rolls into a roller, on wet hair you can clearly see the corrugation. This I mean that if you, for example, are going to the sea and still like to dive (like me), then after swimming on your head there will be a terrible uncombed nest of corrugated hair and strands. Also on vacation in countries with a humid climate, you will not have straight hair on the crown

In general, you need to think 100 times before such a procedure. Moreover, the need for volume, usually in people with not "very chic" hair.

Well, about the price - it is not very cheap, but it is also worth adding here a few keratin straightenings, treatments or "hair happiness". It is impossible to cope with the result of growing chemistry at home.

Although, my friend, who works in this salon (and, according to the specifics of the work, does all kinds of treatments for hair 2 times a week there) is happy, she is only going to do it again, she says, I’ll go on vacation, otherwise the vidocq on wet hair is not very good. So, choosing this procedure, evaluate all the pros and cons for yourself.

How to make hair voluminous? At the ends it is quite simple - just screw it on curlers or curling iron. But the root volume is much more difficult to make. There are a lot of ways, from simple brushing to salon procedures, but they are not universal, and they should be selected based on the type and condition of the hair, as well as the time and money that you are willing to spend on it.

I have coarse and porous hair that only has one advantage - volume. And when I try to smooth them out and “tame” them (for example, with the help), they acquire shine and silkiness, but the volume goes away. It is especially lacking at the roots, where the hair simply "sticks" to the head. With a flat back of the head, it looks especially ugly, so I tried many ways to create root volume in this area.

Method 1 - regular fleece

This is the simplest and oldest method for root volume, which was used by our grandmothers. It only needs hairspray and a comb. You can use a regular, frequent comb or a special brush for combing:

How to scratch the occipital area:

1. We separate the strands of the occipital zone, which we will comb, and pin on the top of the head.
2. Starting from the bottom, separate the layer of hair with a horizontal parting, spray a little with varnish and comb.
3. After combing the entire area in layers, leave the top layer without a fleece and close the previous ones with it. We spray the entire "structure" with varnish.

Who is this method suitable for?: only for owners of thick hair. Sparse hair will not cover the fleece, and it will be visible. With oily, thick hair, this method is also not very good, since the root volume will not last long. On dry hair, the fleece will hold up very well, the main thing is not to go over the styling products, which can also contribute to drying.

Advantages of fleece:

• done very simply, any girl can handle it
• does not require expensive tools, appliances and electricity, the fleece can be done anywhere, even on a hike

disadvantages:

• when combing, the hair is very tangled, and it is very difficult to comb it later, you can even damage it when combing
• if you comb too hard, then this "nest" can be noticeable from under the top layer, especially in windy weather

Method 2 - shirring

It is done a little more difficult, but also quite doable at home. Due to small zigzag bends, the strands are superimposed on each other with "gaps", which creates a root volume, or even full volume, if you make a corrugation for the entire length. I have a corrugation with Aliexpress, it copes with the task:

This method is similar to the previous one in execution:

1. I separate the zone where I will make the root volume, stab it.
2. Starting from the bottom, I separate thin layers of hair with horizontal parting and corrugate them with special tongs at the roots. In this case, an indent of about 1 cm is made from the roots so as not to damage them and burn the skin. The length of the corrugation itself can be any - from a few centimeters to the entire length. But the more the corrugation is done, the more noticeable it will be. For the root volume, 5-7 cm is enough.
3. I corrugate all the layers of the selected zone, except for the last one, and, as with the brushing, I put the last layer on top to hide the previous ones.

Who is shirring suitable for:to everyone who would not be suitable for fleece. That is, it will look good on sparse hair, even if it is visible. It will dry the oily hair a little and due to the heat styling, the root volume will last longer. But the owners of dry hair should not get carried away with the corrugation, so as not to spoil them completely.

Advantages of corrugation:

• hair does not get tangled, it will be easy to comb
• does not require hair styling products
• even if the wind suddenly blows, and from under the smooth layer of hair, a corrugated one "looks out", it will look much nicer than a matted mat of fleece.

disadvantages:

• corrugation, like an iron with a curling iron, is harmful to hair due to high temperature
• non-moisture resistant effect. Hair will straighten in the rain

Advice: in order not to spoil the hair, do crimping after shampooing on carefully dried hair, and do not repeat it until the next wash. Even if during this time the root volume decreases slightly, it is better to lift the strands and sprinkle with varnish at the roots.

Method 3 - hair powder

A styling product that has appeared relatively recently. It is a fine white powder and in use is very similar to ... baby powder!

Powder for root volume is applied to the roots and rubbed into the hair, after which it becomes tough and literally "stakes". This tool (professional line) is often used in the creation of holiday and wedding hairstyles. Combined with shirring and fleece, this is what happens:

The effect of such a powder from the mass market is much less bright and persistent:

A post shared by Olga Lisa (@okosmeo) on Mar 20, 2017 at 2:59 am PDT

Who is suitable for root volume powder: owners of oily roots! In effect, it is very similar to dry shampoo, only plus fixation.

Advantages of hair powder:

• ease of use
• reducing the fat content of the roots
• long-term fixation (with professional products)

Disadvantages:

• cheap powders give the effect of dirty hair
• good powder for root volume is quite expensive

Method 4 - Bust-Up procedure

This is a perm-based salon procedure. Its scheme of action is the same as with shirring, only the effect lasts for a long time - until it grows back.

How it is done (I did not dare, so the photo is someone else's):

On the selected zone, a root chemical or boiswave is made on very thin bobbins. The length of the curled section of the hair is about 5 cm. The top layer of the hair remains without curling, and no curls are visible under it.

Who is Bust-Up suitable for?: owners of oily roots. This procedure will dry them out. In general, hair for Boost-Up, as well as for chemistry, should be healthy, preferably not bleached or overdried.

Boost-Up advantages:

• long-term effect that will last for 4-5 months. It is recommended to repeat the procedure every six months.

disadvantages:

• harmful to hair. This is the same perm, especially for a small diameter of the bobbin, which makes the creases on the curls more fragile. When repeating the procedure, the curling is partially layered on the previous one, which after several times can lead to fragility.
• growing back, root chemistry does not disappear anywhere. The curls will remain in the same place, only they will be more and more away from the roots.
• Not cheap. Like any salon procedure, Boost-Up is quite expensive.

Method 5 - braiding or twisting at the roots

If the root volume with fleece, corrugation or chemistry does not suit you because of the insecurity of these methods, then you can try this method, which is absolutely harmless for hair, but it will take quite a lot of time.

It is better to do this before bed:

1. We select the zone for creating the root volume in the same way as in the previous methods.
2. Divide hair into small strands
3. We braid each strand at the roots into a short pigtail (4-5 cm) or wind it on a thin bobbin.

The effect is the same as in the previous methods.

Who is it suitable for: those who have a lot of time and patience. Weaving so many small, even short, braids is a painstaking business, and personally I have never been able to complete it. And sleeping on bobbins is very uncomfortable.

Advantages of weaving or winding:

• completely harmless to hair
• good effect comparable to professional

Disadvantages:

• hard to do by myself
• takes much time
• makes it uncomfortable while sleeping
• the effect is unstable, since there is no heat wave or chemistry

Method 6 - special inserts: rollers and hairpins

Now there are a lot of accessories with which you can make the root volume at home. They are inexpensive in stores, but on the Internet (for example, on Aliexpress) they can be bought for a penny at all.

They are used in about the same way:

1. Separate the top layer of hair with a horizontal parting from the temples to the back of the head and pin it at the crown.
2. Under this layer on the back of the head we make a small bundle and tie it tight with an elastic band.
3. We insert a roller or a hairpin over the bundle so that the teeth hit the gum.
4. We dissolve the top layer of hair over the roller and tie it again in the form of a "malvinka"

It turns out the root volume due to the insert.

Who are the inserts suitable for: everyone, except for those with rare hair, in which these rollers will be visible. They are also not suitable for lovers of loose hair, because without the "malvinka" they will not hold, or at the first gust of wind they will become noticeable. But a ponytail, braid and any tall hairstyle with a root volume on the roller will look great

Advantages:

• quick, simple, easy to do at home
• harmless to hair

disadvantages:

• not suitable for loose hair, such rollers are worn only under the hairstyle
• when you loose your hair and remove the roller, there is no trace of root volume

Method 7 - shampoos and masks for hair volume

Theoretically, the scheme of their action is to envelop each hair with a composition containing silicone, due to which the hair becomes thicker and more voluminous. But I never found a shampoo or mask that would give a real, noticeable result. Therefore, I will not recommend it, because I consider this to be another deception of money from us, gullible consumers.

Such means can be used, as they say, to calm the soul. But if there is really not enough root volume, then it is better to look for something else.

The only exception is dry shampoowhich dries and lifts the hair at the roots. And although it was created not at all for the root volume, but for an emergency head wash, its effect is often much better than many professional products:

In the modern world, almost all women are faced with the problem of time pressure. That is why the fair sex want long-term hair styling with a hairdryer and styler, but at the same time strive to look great. Root chemistry for hair volume will help you cope with this task. You can find feedback on this salon procedure in this article.

Features of root chemistry

Base chemistry (boost up) is a procedure aimed at adding volume to hair by perming the root part of the curls.

Root chemistry technology

The duration of this procedure is 2.5-3 hours. The work of the master begins with the separation of the horizontal parting. We draw your attention to the fact that the upper strands will not curl. A special composition is applied to the root part of the hair, the main components of which are cystimian and bee propolis extract. This mixture reduces the negative effects of high temperatures, and in addition helps to maintain the effect of the procedure for a long time (about 6 months). After the hair has been thoroughly saturated with the serum, the hairdresser proceeds directly to the root perm.

Contraindications to the root chemistry procedure

There are a number of contraindications to the boost up procedure. These include:

1. Periods of pregnancy and lactation;
2. Diseases of the scalp, including dandruff;
3. Antibiotic treatment;
4. Damage to the scalp (presence of scratches, ulcers on it.)

Benefits of root hair chemistry

According to stylists, the boost up procedure will be a real salvation for owners of thin and thin hair. Root chemistry visually makes the curls thicker. And besides, after this procedure, the hair becomes more manageable, and their styling takes less time. The boost up effect is not afraid of moisture and styling products. Another important advantage of root chemistry is naturalness. And the chemicals that are applied to the curls during the procedure solve the problem of oily hair for a long period of time.

Disadvantages of root hair chemistry

Hair root chemistry has several disadvantages. The main one is the “creep effect”. Unfortunately, not all salons are warned about it. The fact is that the volume obtained with the help of this procedure is not washed off over time, but "slides out". Visually, it looks rather strange. Smooth hair at roots, then volume, and smooth ends. This feature of the fair sex was dubbed the "cheburashka effect".

In addition, root chemistry dries out hair very much. Nourishing and moisturizing oils (for example, burdock) will help to cope with this problem.

Another important drawback is the high cost of this procedure. It is possible to save money if you contact a private master. And although there are a huge number of ads on the Internet for the provision of hairdressing services at home at low prices, you should not trust your hair to an unverified master.

Feedback on the boost up procedure

On the Internet, you can find a huge variety of reviews about root hair chemistry. Some are delighted with this procedure, others believe that the money was wasted, while others complain of serious damage to the curls. Here are just a few of them.

Angelina, 20 years old

I have naturally long and thick hair. But due to lack of time, I constantly collected them in a ponytail, and I so wanted my hairstyle to be perfect. In the salon, I was told about root chemistry. After much thought, I finally decided on this procedure. The result exceeded all expectations. Even after wearing the headdress for a long time, my hair looks like I just left the salon.

Larisa, 34 years old

My hair was dull and lifeless. On a local free classifieds site, I saw a post from a private technician talking about root chemistry. The price for the procedure was relatively low. The hairdresser told me for a long time about the wonderful transformation of hair. However, I was horrified when I saw myself in the mirror. My hair has turned to straw. I spent more than six months on their restoration.

Nina, 28 years old

I have long dreamed of a boost up, but the high cost of the procedure stopped me. For my birthday, I decided to make myself a gift and signed up for a salon for root chemistry. After the procedure, the hair looked like a magazine cover, and there were no problems with styling. It was enough just to slightly dry the curls with a hairdryer - and the perfect image is ready. However, my delight did not last long. As the roots grew back, the volume also "slid" down. It looked terrible. The iron did not help. For almost six months, I just burned out my hair with a styler, and then did a short haircut.

From this article, you were able to learn about what root hair chemistry is, and what the fair sex thinks about this procedure. The boost up has both advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, before doing the root hair chemistry, carefully weigh the pros and cons. It is best to do this procedure in the salon, with a trusted master and using quality products. We draw your attention to the fact that too low a price should alert you, most likely during the procedure a low quality serum will be used.

Modern women and girls are real lucky ones! In the quest for luxurious hair, they have a reliable help.

The abundance of salon procedures for the care of curls today gives everyone the opportunity to have a voluminous and shiny shock of hair. Even if nature has not endowed it.

Giving your hair volume in the salon is a great solution. Reasons why you should prefer going to an experienced craftsman:

• procedures are performed by a professional, taking into account the many nuances of a particular technology;
• special products that are used by hairdressers add gloss to the hair and return a healthy look;
• salon procedures have a lasting effect and allow you to forget about styling for a long time, which takes a lot of time and nerves.

To add volume to hair, salons offer an impressive range of services. But the Boost Up procedure has won particular popularity and female love.

Boost Up or Gust Up: what is it

Boost Up (literally means "lift up") is a procedure for creating volume at the roots. The technology was conceived as a gentle alternative to extension in order to increase the density of the strands.

The technology is based on biological curling. For this, formulations are used containing more than 50% natural ingredients. This is a gentle volumetric root chemistry that lifts the hair, looks thicker, but remains completely smooth. The effect lasts up to six months.

What hair can I do Boost Up

The procedure is suitable not only for girls with insufficient hair density. Those who are naturally blessed with lush hair often use Boost Up as a long-term styling that is not afraid of rain, wind and hats. The technique can be used on straight long and medium length hair.

Girls, whose curls are prone to oily, will appreciate the drying effect of the procedure. After it, the hair will stay clean longer. Boost Up is combined with keratin, but at least 2 weeks should pass from the moment of its implementation.

Unfortunately, Boost Up isn't for everyone. It is necessary to refuse the desired volume in the following situations:

1. Short haircuts. Most likely, the root volume at this length will be similar to the consequences of a non-weak electrical discharge.
2. Curly or artificially straightened hair.
3. Hair dyed with natural dyes. The components of the composition can react with the paint, which will lead to negative consequences.
4. The procedure will dry out dry and brittle curls even more. Instead of root volume, there is a risk of losing its own density.

Advice! To find out if Boost Up is suitable, there is a simple test. After washing your hair, you need to take the hair, pull it slightly and release it. The spring structure allows for the creation of volume. If the hair is torn from tension, the procedure will not work for you.

How long does Boost Up last?

The permanent volume effect usually lasts 5–6 months. During this time, the composition is washed out. The duration of the effect depends on the frequency of shampooing and on how quickly the hair grows.

Daily care products have no effect on the duration of the volume. Moisturizing masks will help create a smooth transition as the strands grow back.

Pros and cons of the Boost Up procedure

Creation of root volume requires professionalism. This is a difficult job and should be carried out by an experienced master with strict adherence to technology. The three-hour procedure has its pluses and minuses.

pros

The before and after photos on the forums are inspiring. The Boost Up technique has plenty of positive qualities:

1. Volume and density are achieved even on naturally thin hair.
2. An important advantage - effect duration up to 6 months.
3. Perfect smoothness and fluffiness remain even immediately after washing.
4. The composition is applied only to a part of the hair at the roots and almost does not get on the scalp. In total, approximately 10 ml of the product is used.
5. The special composition envelops the hair from the outside, without penetrating inside and without damaging its structure.
6. The procedure is gentle and has no contraindications.
7. If necessary, the Boost Up can be easily removed in the cabin.

Minuses

There are fewer cons, but they are:

1. The price of the procedure is quite high.
2. You will have to spend 3–3.5 hours in the salon, which is not always convenient.
3. Perhaps the search for a good master will take time. The procedure can only be performed by a hairdresser who has undergone special training in the Boost Up course.
4. A voluminous hairstyle does not suit everyone.

Root hair volume: types

The Boost Up technique is so popular that it is already considered a classic. On its basis, other methods of creating root volume appeared, including Bouffant, Fleecing, Eco Volume Fleecing, Volume On.

Bouffant

The first descendant of Boost Up is Bouffant. The technique uses the same formulations but is performed differently. First, the master does the bouffant of the root zone. Then the strands are wound on and dried without using a hair dryer. The result is soft and natural volume for up to 3 months.

Fleecing

This technique is an ode to naturalness. Flushing is a simplified version of the previous procedure. The master makes a bouffant at the roots using BIO-formulations. Fleecing does not use curlers, hairpins. Part of the hair is processed only with an iron with a mini corrugation effect. Therefore, the result looks as natural as possible and lasts 1–2 months on the hair.

Eco Volume

The result of the procedure is very similar to Boost Up. Only instead of traditional hairpins, ecovolum uses clamps for root volume. The effect of lush thick hair is created, which pleases the eye for 3-4 months.

Volume On

Volume On technology is a new alternative to Boost Up. It is considered the most gentle in the direction of creating volume at the roots. No ironing or fleece. The strands are slightly wound on curlers and treated with the composition. For fixation, clips are used for the root volume. The result is absolutely straight curls, raised at the roots. The airy effect of naturally voluminous hair lasts about 2 months.

Bouffant and Boost Up: what is the difference

The aim of the Bouffant and Boost Up treatments is a steady root volume for the client. These are variants of the same technique with different execution techniques, which allows you to get different results. The differences between the procedures are as follows:

• when creating the volume of Bouffant, no corrugation tongs are used, the required volume is achieved by combing the strands;
• Bouffant assumes the use of curlers, on which the curls treated with the composition are laid. Boost Up uses studs;
• Bouffant gives the effect of soft and natural volume, while Boost Up looks like a girl just got out of a master's chair;
• bouffant's effect lasts 2-3 months versus 5-6 months after Boost Up.

Performing the Bouffant Technique

The technology for performing such a salon procedure also requires about three hours, the professionalism of the master and strict adherence to the procedure. The technology is a list of steps:

1. A protective spray is applied to clean, pre-washed hair.
2. The upper strands are combed and laid on curlers - Velcro.
3. This is followed by the application of the active substance to the hair at the roots.
4. The hair is covered with a cap and left in this state for 30-40 minutes. Then the hair is freed from the curlers, the excess composition is washed off.
5. The final step is to apply smoothing agents and dry the hair.

Can Boost Up be used for pregnant women?

You want to wear a hairstyle of lush curls at any time in your life. Boost Up is a luxurious procedure, but for all its splendor, it is not suitable for pregnant and lactating women.

There are two main reasons why expectant mothers should give up Boost Up:

1. Changes in hormonal levels in the body of a pregnant woman are likely to distort the final result.
2. No matter how gentle the cosmetic formulations are, these are chemical solutions, which even in small doses can adversely affect the health of the unborn baby.

Is it possible to make a long-term root volume at home

Many girls are interested in how to make the root volume at home. There are many options for making your hair smoother and fuller at home. However, there can be no question of any long-term effect of homemade "Boost Up". The reasons:

• the procedure can only be performed by a trained technician;
• professional products that cover hair to achieve long-term results cannot be found on the market.

How to care for your hair after the procedure

Hair after creating Boost Up does not require special care. For a great result to please for a long time, and your hair looks beautiful until the next visit to the salon, it is enough to follow the recommendations:

1. Use daily care products that do not contain silicones.
2. Do not dye your hair with natural dyes while the effect lasts. This is a perm, albeit gentle. And henna and basma are its first enemies. Strengthening with henna is also prohibited.
3. For the first 2-3 days after creating a permanent volume, you should refrain from washing your hair.

How to remove Boost Up

Sometimes girls want to get rid of long-term volume as quickly as possible. For example, if a master did something wrong, such a volume does not suit a woman or she is simply tired. The procedure is based on treatment with a fixing chemical composition and the result will not disappear quickly. But you can still eliminate the unwanted volume.

How to remove Boost Up:

1. Contact the salon. Expensive, but efficient and fast. Boost Up can be removed by straightening hair using the same composition.
2. The second option is more affordable, but it takes time. Replace your regular shampoo with a product containing a lot of silicones and use a hairdryer and comb to pull the hair out every day.

Photos of celebrities who did Boost Up

The wave of permanent volume has not bypassed celebrities either. After all, even the most successful ladies dream of beautiful and thick hair. There is no limit to perfection!

Technique for performing root volume

To avoid disappointment, before going to the salon, you should try to create the root volume yourself. In terms of durability, a home-made Boost Up cannot be compared with a professional one. However, this approach will allow you to make the right decision. You can do styling in different ways.

Hair styling with a hairdryer

The easiest way to create a voluminous hairstyle. The styling is not difficult at all and is familiar to most girls:

1. Brush damp hair with a fine-toothed comb.
2. A protective agent and styling mousse are applied to the entire length of the hair.
3. The strands are styled with a hairdryer using a round comb (brushing). The direction of the air stream is from bottom to top.
4. The upper tiers of hair are carefully worked out, thinner strands are taken and special attention is paid to the area at the roots.

By ironing

With a hair straightener, root volume is even easier to achieve. A product, such as Matrix spray, is applied to wet strands to create volume. Then the curls should dry. They grab small strands, clamp them between the ironing plates and pull them up a little. Do not hold for more than 5 seconds, otherwise hair may be damaged... It is enough to work out only the strands at the roots.

Advice! To create root volume, the iron should be chosen with thinner plates and a ceramic coating. This model is more convenient and safer.

Pliers corrugation

A fluted iron is also great for the job. The whole procedure does not take long and guarantees an excellent result. With heated tongs, preferably ceramic or Teflon ones, go through the strands of the crown and the back of the head at the roots by 2 ironing widths. Spray hair with fixer. Ripple creates small to medium waves that add airiness to the hairstyle. Having faced the choice of which forceps are best for the root volume, narrow models should be preferred.

Curling iron

When using a curling iron, you can also create a voluminous hairstyle. The technology is simple: with heated forceps, small strands are alternately clamped for 5-7 seconds. The curling iron should be located close to the scalp, then the hair will rise well in the root zone. Before starting manipulations, the strands must be treated with thermal protection.

Using curlers

Curlers are the most harmless way to create volume. To achieve the desired result, the hair must be curled, highlighting the central zone and the area of \u200b\u200bthe temples. Hair should be pre-moistened. Fix the curlers and wait until the curls are completely dry. Then apply the fixing agent. The root volume powder will keep volume throughout the day. For long curls, larger diameter curlers are suitable, and in order to create root volume for short hair, small and thin ones.

Bouffant

With the help of bouffant, you can create volume and many interesting hairstyles. All you need is a comb with fine teeth. Each strand is worked out separately. The splendor is created by the movements of the comb along the stretched strand of 5-6 cm at the hair roots. Short haircuts require bouffant all over the head. On long curls, a bouffant of the occipital zone is performed.

Folk remedies

Those girls who strive for the coveted volume, but do not want to resort to salon chemistry, can pay attention to folk remedies. Some of them turn out to be very effective.

Yeast mask

With kefir, it is rich in vitamins and lifts even the finest hair at the roots. The composition is also useful for their growth. The ingredients are simple and affordable.

Mask preparation:

1. Heat 0.5 cups of kefir until warm.
2. Add 20 g of yeast to kefir and leave the mixture for 7-10 minutes until a “cap” is formed.
3. Apply the composition to the scalp and hair at the roots, cover with cellophane.
4. Keep the mask for 30-40 minutes, then rinse and let the hair dry naturally.

Gelatin mask

This requires only 3 components:

• 15 g gelatin;
• citric acid on the tip of a knife;
• 1 yolk.

Gelatin mixed with 2 tbsp. l. dissolve cold water in a water bath, add acid. Let cool slightly. Introduce the yolk into the mass and mix thoroughly.

Apply the mask to the hair, paying special attention to the root zone. Wrap your head with cellophane and a towel. Keep for 20-30 minutes, then rinse with cool water. This mask will create root volume and surprise with the lamination effect.

Daily styling takes a lot of effort and time, especially if you lack hair volume. Regular use of thermal tools aggravates the health of the hair: they thin it, dry it and leave it lifeless. The modern cosmetic industry invites consumers to forget about the daily half-hour styling, using a new service in beauty salons - root volume Boost UP.

This is a specially prepared procedure that allows you to visually increase hair volume at the roots by 6 months... The event requires a professional technique, the hands of a master and 4 hours of free time.

How is the boost up procedure performed?

1. The head is thoroughly washed and dried, since the boost is done on dry strands.
2. Each strand is individually screwed onto special metal pins. This allows you to create the desired "spring" or so-called "wavy" effect. In this case, the upper strands remain straight, due to the lower strands with corrugation, they rise and volume is created.
3. A solution based on the amino acids of keratin and propolis extract is used to curl the hair, it is applied to the root zone.
4. Then the hair is washed and dried with a hairdryer.

As a rule, girls have to use fixing varnish to create volume at home, and also do bouffant on long strands. The technology for implementing the boost up is completely different.

Who is Boost up for?

1. It is advisable to use this procedure for owners heavy and thick hair... Since such strands themselves are not able to hold their weight, the volume at the roots of the Boost up will help to cope with this task without resorting to a haircut and thermal tools.

2. Boost up is also suitable for thin hair lacking volume... The owners of thin curls know firsthand what a lack of volume is, the hair is too weak, so it usually hangs down like icicles and quickly grow fat at the roots. Boost up copes with this problem perfectly, it dries and raises them at the roots.

3. Different formulations for the procedure, but both are safe and harmless to the hair follicles.

4. Duration of effect (Boost up lasts up to 6 months, Buffant up to 3 months). At the same time, the cost of both events is almost the same.
