Hair Rebonding Treatment Compared to Hair Relaxing
There are different ways to straighten hair. Hair relaxing is a cheaper and quicker method.
People with curls, and perhaps tighter curls use a hair relaxer treatment to make their hair straight. If you purchase a home relaxer treatment, this method is usually mixing an activator with a relaxer cream, or applying the already made relaxer to the hair, generally starting at the roots.
Most likely, this hair straightening method does not get hair completely straight, but it softens the hair to create a straightened appearance.
Pros and Cons with Relaxing
Pros for using a hair relaxer is that it is inexpensive and you can do it in the comfort of your own home.
The cons for using a hair relaxer is that the hairs are not entirely straight. You may need to use styling methods such as a flat iron or other heating methods to make sure your hair is completely straight if you want that look.
Also, hair relaxers can cause scalp irritation and burning. A potential result of getting your hair relaxed is that your hair becomes brittle and unhealthy.
The hair rebonding treatment compared to hair relaxing is slightly different. Rebonding uses somewhat different chemicals as well as heat in its hair process. The hair rebonding treatment is done by the application of a solution, usually a perming solution with powerful chemicals. This process breaks the hair bonds. Then a flat iron or a pressing machine is used to reset the hair bonds and make the hair straight.
Before a hair stylist should give you this hair treatment, they need to know the history of your hair such as "if your hair has ever been damaged?" and "if you have colored your hair previously?" Additionally, stylists need to know if you have done this process before.
This will help the stylist understand if you should go ahead with the process, or if adjustments need to be made ensuring your hair is not damaged after the treatment.
Pros and Cons of the Hair Rebonding Treatment
Pros for using the hair rebonding treatment is that this procedure lasts for at least five months.
The cons for using the Hair Rebonding Treatment is that the method is costly and time-consuming and it could take up to seven hours. Also, it’ll be hard for you to curl your hair. You’ll only be able to have a straight look for a long time.
Another con is that, if you have kinky or coily hair, it is not recommended using this hair treatment. It is harsher than hair relaxing.
