How does hair straightening shampoo work?

Straightening hair, like curling, inevitably damages the structure of the hair. However, recently, cosmetologists have created a safe straightening product. This shampoo for straightening hair, thanks to certain components, gently affects the structure of each curl, without violating its natural structure.

Nature of curly hair

The fact is that straight and curly hair differ in cross-sectional shape. Under the microscope, a circle is clearly visible in the cross section of an absolutely straight hair , and the curly has an oval cut. The action of the shampoo for rectifying the strands is aimed at approximating the cross section of the hair to a round shape.

Composition and action of the rectifying shampoo

The effect is achieved by weighting the hair. Components of shampoo:

• Sodium laureth sulfate ;
• Lauryl sulfate sodium (this substance is also called "sodium hydroxide");
• Silicone (or panthenol);
• Castor oil (or other medical oil for hair).

By enveloping the hairs, these substances pull them down, somewhat changing the shape of the section, because even after washing off some of the components of the shampoo remain and continue to function.

In light of this, it is clear: do not expect that keratin shampoo for hair straightening will make them perfectly smooth, as with thermal straightening. But the curls do not get stronger in the humid air, as it happens with styling "ironing". Strands become more docile, less curled, easier to lay down.

In addition, shampoo for hair straightening, as a rule, contains a lot of useful caring substances: natural proteins of silk or wheat, extract of ivy and other herbs, beneficial for hair, keratin. And also in the composition is especially useful for hair, vitamin B5 and other components. So he not only straightens the unruly hair, but also protects them from the corrosive effects of the environment. And first of all - from hot air from the dryer and negative influence of ultraviolet rays.
