The essence of the biolamination procedure and its features. BIO – Hair lamination

Under such an incomprehensible and unknown to many girls word “carving” hides a styling that is long-term in nature.
Hair biolamination is a cosmetic procedure that provides care for damaged and weakened strands. She represents coating the hair with a special composition that can visually change the structure of the hair shaft.

Its operating principle is based on enveloping each strand with a protective cellulose (rubber) film. Due to this effect, thinning of the hair is prevented, and the risk of mechanical damage is reduced. Significant changes in a positive direction can be noticed after the first procedure.

What is the difference between lamination and biolamination?

Both procedures provide professional care for women's curls. During biolamination, each individual hair is sealed into a fairly thin shell, which is natural cellulose. It is in the very composition and this is the difference between the presented procedure and conventional lamination. For its preparation, only natural ingredients of natural origin are used. Cellulose is used as the base. But additional elements can be extracts of zucchini and dandelion, bamboo and avocado pulp. In addition, the difference between these two similar procedures is in the duration of the result obtained. When laminating, the effect lasts from three to six weeks. And with biolamination, the result will delight the beautiful lady from four to seven weeks, that is, a little longer.

It is also worth noting that the cost of the biolamination procedure will be higher than the price of lamination. This is due to the use of special expensive compounds. And if a woman has very thin and damaged hair, then it is still better to choose biolamination. Its effect, unlike lamination, is softer and more gentle, and does not provoke irritation.

How does the biolamination procedure work?

Biolamination takes place in several stages:

1. The procedure begins with regular hair washing. It is better to wash your hair twice with any shampoo, after which you need to dry it a little with a towel.

3. Then a cellophane cap is put on the head. The composition is kept for about 20 minutes. During this time, the curls are warmed up with a hairdryer.

4. The composition is washed off with water and it’s time to use cold phase products. They are already applied only to the strands, without affecting the root area. This composition lasts for 10 minutes, after which it is also washed off.

5. The final stage is the use of a restorative mask. It is applied to the entire surface of the head for 15 minutes. Wash off with water.
The whole procedure takes a little over an hour, depending on the length and structure of the hair. But after it, the hair really transforms.

Who is it suitable for and what effect should you expect?

A procedure such as biolamination may be useful for those people who often dye and bleach their hair. But this is not all the indications for use. Biolamination will have a beneficial effect in the following cases:

- if a woman regularly uses straightening irons, hot tongs and a hair dryer;
- if the curls are brittle and dry, as well as long and curly;
- when the ends are severely split;
- if a girl gave herself a chemical or bio-perm, after which her hair became lifeless;
- when did the first gray hairs appear?
- if the strands are unruly, they often get tangled and are characterized by increased rigidity.

Biolamination is actually suitable for all hair types. During this procedure, the hair is covered with a protective layer, which further reduces the damage emanating from ultraviolet rays, from mechanical damage when using a metal comb, from the use of styling products, from sudden temperature changes and from salt and sea water.

Pros and cons of biolamination

The obvious advantages of this caring procedure include:

Absolute safety of the composition used;

Natural origin of all components;

Simplicity of the technique;

The ability to repeat this procedure at home.
And that's not all the advantages:

The transformation occurs after the first application (in some cases, when the hair is significantly damaged, several sessions are necessary);

The hair becomes elastic, acquires a beautiful shine, and its ends are sealed and stop splitting;

Thanks to the application of a special composition, the hair becomes more voluminous, which is a salvation for those women who naturally have sparse and thin hair;

After biolamination, the curls are easier to style and become much more manageable than before; - the protective film on the strands prevents the hair shaft from drying out during blow-drying and exposure to sunlight, and it also helps to maintain the rich color much longer.

Concerning disadvantages of such a procedure, then here we can immediately note the high cost of the procedure. Many professional hairdressers also agree that biolamination will not bring any additional benefit to your hair. At the same time, long strands are constantly under a film that does not allow sufficient air and nutrients to pass through. Because of this, the curls become thinner and destroyed. And when the composition begins to leave the hair, it also captures their particles, giving the shaft porosity.

Also, owners of very long curls need to know that the composition applied during such a procedure weighs down the hair. And under such weight, the strands may begin to fall out.

Hair care after biolamination

In order for the result to please the girl for a long time, after carrying out such a procedure, you should adhere to some recommendations:

After the procedure, it is not recommended to wash your hair with shampoo for two or three days;
- in the future, you should not use deep cleaning detergents with a high pH level, as they will contribute to the destruction of the formed film;
- preference should be given to shampoos intended for colored hair;
- after each shampooing, it is better to treat the strands with conditioner or balm, which contains silk, wheat proteins or marine components.

Popular compositions for biolamination

The most popular and widely used composition for biolamination is the following set of components:

- cellulose of plant origin;
- DL-panthenol, which supplies hair with vitamin B5;
- ceramide, providing care and nutrition;
- isopropyl myristate, which creates a glossy shine effect;
- cetyltrimethylammonium chloride.

Often this composition can be supplemented with amino acids and healthy oils, as well as all kinds of plant extracts.
The kit itself for such a procedure must necessarily include instructions for proper use, a caring mask, a deep cleansing product, a preparation for biolamination, gloves and dye if the procedure involves giving the hair a new shade.

The following sets are quite popular:

1.Lebel brand, made in Japan. The composition contains many useful components. These are grape seed oil, protein and silk molecules. The set itself includes a laminating cream, cleansing shampoo and balm, which has a soothing effect.
2. American Paul Mitchell set. The composition contains chamomile extracts, hops, and wheat sprouts. Ideal for damaged and colored hair prone to dryness.
3. Made in USA Hair Company. The biolamination procedure with such a set has a healing effect. And thanks to the fact that it contains keratin, the hair is immediately transformed and imbued with vitality.

Brittle split ends are a problem for most women. Fortunately, curls can be given a well-groomed and beautiful appearance using medicinal procedures. The most common are shielding and lamination.

Despite the same goal (to cure hair), these procedures differ in the principle of action. What are they, and where should we stop?

is a cosmetic procedure that restores hair from the inside and at the same time protects it from external influences. The name of the procedure literally comes from the word “screen”, which reflects the essence of the process: a special composition is applied to the hair, which seals the beneficial substances inside the hair and serves as a protective “screen” from negative external influences (blow-drying, styling with tools, using mousses, varnishes, foams and other styling products).

The film that covers the hair retains moisture and nutritional components, and the oleic acid it contains strengthens the structure of the curl. As a result, the hair is filled with vitality and visually looks smooth, shiny and voluminous.

The screening procedure is especially popular among those with long hair, since caring for such curls requires a lot of attention. It is used not only by those who have severely damaged hair, but also as a preventive measure.

Shielding is a great way to protect your hair while on vacation: salty hard water and ultraviolet rays have a negative impact on the condition of your hair. In everyday life, the “screen” will prevent dust, soot and dirt from penetrating the hair shaft and harming it.

However, this procedure is not suitable for all people. Those who:

suffers from baldness or intense hair loss (the protective film can weigh down the hair, damaging the follicles and causing even greater loss);
has wounds, irritation, redness or damage on the head;
has oily hair type (the composition provokes the production of sebum);
suffers from allergies or is overly sensitive to certain elements of the composition.

The main advantage of shielding is that the procedure eliminates split ends, smoothes and nourishes brittle, damaged hair, improves its appearance, and also makes the curls resistant to negative influences. Additional advantages include:

composition of the screening agent: it does not contain ammonia, it contains natural ingredients;
curls are easy to comb and do not tangle;
the yellow tint and “fluffiness” of the hair disappear;
easy care;
no need for styling.

The disadvantages of the procedure are:

short-term effect (one, maximum three weeks);
the need for antistatic treatment, balm (after washing, the hair begins to electrolyze);
weighting of hair;
When used on oily hair, the problem of “oily” skin is aggravated.

Types of shielding

There are two types of shielding:

Colored. Used to create a bright effect. The main advantage of such shielding is its safe composition: it does not contain ammonia or alkali. This “paint” is the most loyal and natural among other coloring agents. The only negative is the short-lived effect.
Colorless. Conventional screening, which is used for undyed hair. The effect of this is no less.

Lamination

Lamination is a system aimed at masking damage, preventing it from progressing, and also protecting it from environmental influences.

The lamination procedure affects the hair structure from the outside, removing split ends and roughness. It nourishes the curls from the outside, prevents further deformation and deterioration, preventing the problem from developing.

When laminating, a special solution is applied to the hair, covering all curls with a film. This film protects the hair shafts, improves the appearance of the hair, and makes the hair voluminous and manageable. The solution contains vitamins and proteins that even out the structure of the hair.

The treatment procedure has no special contraindications, except in cases of skin diseases, and is suitable for any hair length. Lamination is recommended for damaged, split ends, “fluffy” hair. Sometimes the hair is laminated immediately after dyeing to maintain the richness of the color of the curls.

The main advantages of lamination:

hair becomes more voluminous, more manageable, looks smooth and healthy;
the structure of the curl is aligned and becomes stronger;
the procedure stops the destruction of the hair shaft and protects against temperature and other types of influence;
eliminates electrolysis of hair.

The disadvantages of lamination include:

the effect is short-lived and ineffective (the composition stays on the hair for no more than two weeks; good results can only be expected with regular therapy for 3-6 weeks);
the film is partially washed off after the 1st hair wash;
After washing, the strands take a long time to dry;
special care and cosmetics are required.

Types of lamination

There are six main types of lamination used in cosmetology:

Colored/Transparent. Color lamination contains coloring pigments, so it creates a bright shade. Transparent - gives a glossy effect. In terms of durability, transparent lamination is inferior to colored lamination.
Cold/Hot. There is no fundamental difference here. In the first case, the composition is applied to ordinary washed curls. In the second, they are fixed with warm air using a hairdryer.
Biolamination/Standard lamination. Biolamination contains exclusively organic components. In the standard version, non-natural elements are allowed (a small part).

How are the procedures different?

The main difference between shielding and lamination is the method of action.

Shielding nourishes, moisturizes and restores hair from the inside, at the base, i.e. has a healing effect. Lamination acts externally, straightens the hair, and gives it a beautiful, well-groomed look. It stops the damage process at the level at which it exists, but does not heal the curls.
The procedures also differ in the technique of applying a special composition.
Shielding occurs in three stages: conditioner (to smooth the hair and even out the scales) – life-giving oil (exactly the substance that penetrates the “heart” of the hair and nourishes it, filling the pores) – oil for fixing (fix the result, give shape and increase volume ).
When laminating, one composition is applied to the hair, selected by a specialist based on the type of hair. The composition is kept on the hair for 20-30 minutes and then subjected to heat treatment. Depending on the type of laminating mixture, the hair is “sealed” with a hairdryer or straightener.
The last difference between the procedures is their cost. As a rule, lamination costs more to do in salons than shielding. There are different brands of laminating and shielding compounds, and they vary in price.

Firstly, the protective function of the procedures will improve several times: the double composition will not allow even the most aggressive influences to penetrate the hair shaft and damage it.
Secondly, smoothness, elasticity and strength will become twice as intense. Even if one of the compositions begins to wash off, the other will maintain the result.

In addition, hair protection will be comprehensive and two-way. In order to prolong the effect of lamination and shielding (both individually and in combination) for as long as possible, it is necessary to use exclusively sulfate-free cosmetics for washing and care.

Do it yourself at home

Screening and lamination procedures are not cheap, especially if they are done simultaneously or in several courses. An alternative to salon care is home treatments.

The only thing you need for this procedure is special professional products, a couple of towels and warm water.

Shielding technique: wash your hair thoroughly with a special shampoo, apply conditioner for 10 minutes. Dry your curls with a soft towel and thoroughly rub the screening mixture into your hair (along its entire length). After the time specified in the instructions, rinse the solution from your hair, dry your curls and apply a fixative.

Lamination

Lamination can be done in two ways: using a professional lamination agent (the technique will be almost the same as in shielding, just read the instructions carefully and follow it) and prepare a laminating agent from natural products.

The main component of all home laminating products is gelatin. It corrects hair structures and makes them smooth.

Sequence of actions: 2 tbsp. gelatin pour 6 tbsp. l. cooled boiled water, leave to brew for 20-40 minutes. The mixture should swell. After this, send the composition to the water until it becomes homogeneous, viscous, without lumps. Bring to a boil, cool.

Apply the cooled mixture along the entire length of the hair, 2-4 cm away from the roots, and dry with a hairdryer at minimum temperature.

The amount of gelatin indicated in the recipe is designed for medium-length hair, so the dosage can be changed depending on the thickness and size.

The choice of a particular procedure should be based on goals. If the health of a girl’s hair is going well, you can simply laminate it, then it will acquire a beautiful aesthetic appearance. Otherwise, it is better to choose shielding and restore your hair from the inside.

Today, any girl who looks at photographs of celebrities in a magazine or turns on MTV and gets into some program about celebrities can be overcome by despondency. After all, in show business everyone looks so beautiful! Absolutely everything: outfits, smile, hair. Fortunately, today there are a huge variety of salon procedures that you can do in order to look even a little more perfect.

Express hair care in the salon (just one procedure), which will give the result in the form of softer, silkier, more manageable and shiny hair is called lamination. How is it carried out? The specialist applies a special chemical composition to the client’s hair, which “envelops” each hair, creating a protective coating - so from now on the hair will not be so afraid of overheating from the scorching sun, straighteners, hot rollers and other things. Also, due to the presence of the shell, the hair becomes more voluminous. Lamination is especially recommended to be done after dyeing the hair, so that the color stays on the hair longer. The effect of the procedure lasts for about a month.

Biolamination- the same procedure, but the difference lies in the chemical composition of the substance that creates the porous protective film. For biolamination, a less aggressive substance is used. Most often these are Japanese products that do not contain silicones. Also, the biolaminates the master works with are hypoallergenic. Therefore, if you have a tendency to allergic reactions, it is better to opt for biolamination. At the same time, the price of biolamination, in contrast to conventional lamination, is several times higher.

It is not at all difficult for a woman to get confused in the network of cosmetic hair care services. It’s even more difficult to find your master, your “sensei”. An honest hairdresser will definitely tell you whether lamination or keratin hair straightening is better for your hair. But what if you still haven’t met such a barber? Let's look at all these procedures point by point.

A procedure of deep recovery, treatment, nutrition. Used to actively saturate the cortex with keratin. It is regarded by professionals as a health-improving operation. A significant decrease in the protein level of hair occurs as a result of perm and the destruction of natural pigments. This is especially true for lightening (blonding) processes.

Used on hair:

“sick”, severely damaged;

regularly susceptible to aggressive styling;

curly;

dry, brittle.

Point by point procedure

Regardless of the location of keratization, the chronology of the stages is constant. It should be noted that the procedure takes from 2 to 3 hours.

Cleaning. Thorough removal of impurities and styling products using shampoo (preferably professional, deep action).

Saturation with keratin. Application of the composition along the entire length, uniform distribution, absorption.

Heat treatment. Gentle drying with a hairdryer, careful straightening with heated curling irons.

Expected Result

Enriched hair using the keratin restoration method becomes smoother, stronger, and shiny. Natural keratin is absorbed and penetrates deeply into their structure. The curls will become alive and healthy, and each subsequent procedure will improve the previously obtained result.

use high-quality shampoo that does not contain SLS, parabens, or silicone;

It’s worth coloring your curls with ammonia-free dyes;

do not do your hair immediately after the procedure (use hairpins, tight elastic bands).

Make sure the product does not contain formaldehyde. Under the influence of high temperature, its vapors will be released.

Lamination

The essence of the method is to treat the hair with a colorless (less often pigmented), safe composition. To fix the application, ionization or temperature (iron) is used. The result is a protective film that smoothes out unevenness and seals scales. Everyone determines for themselves which is better or . But you need to make a choice, knowing all the nuances of both procedures.

For what hair types is it suitable:

thin and weakened;

painted;

brittle, split ends;

Main types, their characteristics

Most often, experts offer three types of this procedure. There are fans of home care who highlight the basic (organic) method.

Actually lamination – application of a colorless natural dye that does not contain ammonia. Used after coloring to stabilize color and improve the appearance of the hairstyle. There is an improvement in the aesthetic characteristics of the hair.

Bio-lamination – a comprehensive method of adding shine and reducing the number of split ends. It differs from the previous type only in the prefix. The principle of action of the drugs is the same. It’s good to use this service before going on vacation. This way you will protect your curls from exposure to sea salt, sunlight, and hot air. If there is a threat of loss, you should choose another care option, since the resulting protective film makes the curls heavier and the follicle is subject to stress.

The procedure should be carried out constantly, since the biocomponents are washed off unevenly. For a longer lasting effect, use a neutral shampoo.

Glazing – coating curls with a ceramide composition (often colored) to add shine. Does not form a protective film. Covers gray hair well, changes tone by 2 positions. The glaze works on the principle of ammonia-free paint. It washes off quickly – two/three weeks.

Gelatin lamination. It is carried out at home, along with washing your hair. The recipe is based on adding swollen gelatin to a hair mask and applying the mixture to the head for 30 minutes. If desired, you can add products typical for homemade masks (egg, lemon juice). This option is budget-friendly, very affordable, but requires consistency and does not solve serious problems. The hair becomes stiffer and becomes oilier at the root faster.

Owners of very curly curls should remember that only slightly. Therefore, if the primary task is straightening, then you should choose a different method.

Differences

Having an idea of the fundamental features of the methods, let’s consider What is the difference between keratization and hair lamination?

Result
Lamination	Kerating
Protection from the external environment
Shine, shine
The effect of coloring lasts longer
Antistatic effect
Volume increase	Additional nutrition, hydration
Easy combing/styling	Therapeutic effect
Smooth manageable hair	Straightening curls
Keeps for 2-4 weeks	Lasts 4-6 months
	There is some heaviness
	Eliminates the need to use an iron

The table gives an idea of the differences based on the expected results of the procedures. But besides the listed points, there are a lot of points that should not be forgotten.

Important nuances

Before you choose lamination or keratization It is worth paying attention to the condition of your hair. It should be remembered that the first method creates a screen, visual effect. Problematic and severely damaged hair primarily requires intensive restoration.

Using the second method on thin curls is somewhat questionable, since weighting will not add advantages to weak strands. As a result, the installation process will become more complicated.

The duration is 30 minutes/3 hours, respectively.

Hair lamination with keratin a cosmetic procedure that undoubtedly improves the appearance of curls. However, it is not a means of treatment.

Many people highlight an alternative solution - polishing. But this is more of a health-improving haircut designed to get rid of split ends.

The services of a keratin restoration specialist are more expensive, but the effect lasts longer.

Hair loss is also not the best indicator for using procedures. It is at least unwise to put stress on the cuticle or bulb.

Allergy sufferers who are sensitive to the effects of certain components should be careful. Check the reaction behind the ear.

In any case, use high-quality drugs and trust trusted specialists.

Individual understanding of Which is better: lamination or keratin hair restoration? does not make these procedures a “must have” for a modern woman. There is no need to blindly follow fashion or believe all the tricks of the salon. Take care of your health, take care of your hair with oils and natural masks, and the need to treat them will no longer be relevant.

Hair biolamination is a unique technology that provides complete nutrition and protection to each hair. During the procedure, the hair is covered with a special film that protects it from the harmful effects of external factors (sun rays, wind, frost), and also gives it a natural healthy shine.

What is the difference between lamination and biolamination?

In principle, we can say that lamination and biolamination are no different, keeping in mind the effect of the procedure. In both cases, a special laminating composition is applied to the hair, which is absolutely harmless to the hair and has no contraindications. Only the composition of the cosmetics used differs. Conventional lamination uses a colorless or colored dye based on natural protein (usually hydrolyzed soy or wheat protein). In the case of biolamination, the product contains cellulose of plant origin (for example, KEMON lamination products include bamboo and avocado extract). Zucchini juice or dandelion juice can also serve as vegetable cellulose.

Biolamination effect.

Firstly, when carrying out biolamination, each hair is covered with a cellulose film, which helps the hair dye wash out more slowly (which is why it is always recommended to fix any coloring using the biolamination procedure). Secondly, when each hair is covered with a sheath, it thickens by 10 percent (while the thickness remains uniform from roots to ends). Finally, the cellulose composition evens out all the roughness of the hair, making it absolutely smooth and imparting a natural, healthy shine. Such hair becomes elastic, easy to comb, and holds the style better (and for styling you will most likely only need a hairdryer without additional fixing agents). It is worth noting separately that biolamination goes well with perm, as well as with another salon procedure - bio-styling (bio-perm). Biolaminate has a moisture-repellent effect, which allows you to maintain styling even in inclement weather.
With biolamination (as with conventional lamination), either a colorless composition or with a certain shade can be used for additional hair tinting (modern biolaminate manufacturing companies offer 20 different color shades). The composition is washed out within a month when you wash your hair 2 times a week (the rate at which the laminate is washed out also depends on the individual characteristics of the hair structure). You can repeat the biolamination procedure with any regularity; as they say, there is never too much biolaminate.

Biolamination at home.

Do you want to achieve a healthy shine, but at the same time not spend 5,000 rubles every month on a salon biolamination procedure? Then just master biolamination at home! The main thing here is not to save on cosmetics and purchase them only in professional stores (otherwise there is a danger that you will purchase a fake). This product won’t make your hair any worse, but you won’t get the desired effect either.

Very often, companies offering biolamination products produce ready-made kits for home biolamination. All of them include 4 main elements: restoring shampoo, hot phase composition, cold phase composition, and a special restoring mask.

So, first you need to wash your hair using shampoo. After this, a hot phase preparation is applied to slightly dried hair (experts recommend 1-2 cm away from the roots). A plastic cap (for shower) is put on the head, and the hair is wrapped with a towel on top. Thermal effect can be increased using a hairdryer. After 20 minutes, the drug must be washed off with warm water (without shampoo!). After this, the laminate itself is applied to towel-dried hair, which consolidates the effect of the hot phase. After 5-10 minutes, the composition of the cold phase is washed off under warm water, and a restorative mask is applied to the hair (after 10-15 minutes it is also washed off). It is recommended to use this mask every time after washing your hair.

Based on my own experience of carrying out the biolamination procedure at home, I would like to note the following important points, in my opinion. The hair shine “like in a shampoo advertisement” is really visible, however, only after re-using the biolaminate a month later. The effect of biolamination is more noticeable on heavily damaged or dyed hair. However, already during the first procedure, the hair becomes perfectly smooth and soft; easy to comb even without pre-drying. The hair visually thickens a little, but, nevertheless, does not become heavier (the procedure was carried out on thin hair).

Very interesting.
I just didn’t think that bio-lamination is also a long procedure, I have this bottle, it goes on its own, and acts like a rinse, but at the same time creates a protective film on the hair. True, it doesn’t last very long, but due to the availability of the product, I can at least rinse my hair with it after every wash.
