Beautiful, healthy hair is a dream for everyone. While home care is essential to achieve those gorgeous locks, hair treatments at salons play a vital role in restoring body, shine, and overall hair health instantly. However, many people hesitate or refrain from getting the hair treatments done due to myths that have been there for so long, and if you hear the wrong whisper, you may end up assuming something utterly misleading.
Agnes Chen, Technical Head, Streax Professional, the premium hair colour and care brand, is here to help you navigate your way through the world of hair treatments – bursting some common myths and bringing must-known facts about it.
Myth: Keratin hair treatment is a temporary, non-chemical process. It does not change the natural fabric of the hair.
Fact: Keratin is a chemical process that lastingly alters the natural fabric of the hair.
Myth: Rebonding treatment is recommended for people with very curly hair.
Fact: People with very curly hair should not go for rebinding. The reason being is that when there is regrowth, it looks ghastly. The contrast between very curly and very straight is too contradictory. Since rebonding is permanent, it takes forever to grow.
Myth: Hair spa is meant for those with extremely thick and Dry Hair.
Fact: A lot of people with thin hair also require spa treatment. People with thin hair have dry, chemically treated, and weak hair. They, therefore, require a nourishing spa treatment.
Myth: Hair smoothing is an entirely different service to rebonding.
Facts: Both treatments are the same in every way. The only difference is that in rebonding, you iron the hair three times. In smoothening, you only iron the hair once.
Hope the above-shared pointers from our expert can burst your myth bubbles, which will help you to take a step ahead with an accurate understanding of your hair needs and confidence to go for the right treatment for the health and beauty of your tresses.
