Polishing (grinding) hair - we remove split ends

Young ladies and middle-aged ladies are constantly puzzled by their appearance, including hairstyle. By nature, only one out of ten is endowed with luxurious hair, the rest have to work hard for the sake of beauty. As a result, under the external influence (use of thermal instruments, coloring, ultraviolet, styling products), the hair structure is destroyed. Every girl is faced with such a thing as split ends.

One of the latest safe innovative methods in hair care - polishing (or grinding) hair.

Already by the name you can understand that the procedure gives the hair gloss and shine. With the help of polishing hair, the lamination effect is achieved., split ends are eliminated, strands are smoothed and easier to comb and style.

Hair stratification causes the curls to go awry and look untidy. It is known that such split hairs cannot be restored. Until recently, in order to “renew” the head of hair in such situations, girls and women had to trim part of the strands. Now it's easy to solve the problem without loss of length - to polish in the cabin (or at home).

What is the hair polishing procedure?

A clipper with a special nozzle is used to cut loose hair. We can say that this is an improved type of grinding with hot scissors when the ends of the hair are sealed.

But hardware polishing is carried out significantly faster, more efficiently and does not have a harmful effect. The device cuts off damaged tips in 20-40 minutes, while the length is maintained (removal of 2-5 mm).

Who can polish hair?

A simple test will tell if your strands need polishing. Unplug a piece of hair, twist it into a bundle and see if the tips are sticking out of it. Most likely, the answer will be positive, since in 90% of women the curls split not only at the ends, but also deformed along the entire length.

Therefore, polishing hairstyle is suitable in the following situations: heavy and thick hair; unruly hair; with frequent use ironing, hair dryer; when bleaching and coloring; when curling.

The length in this case does not matter - the procedure is carried out on both long and short hair, but the effect is more pronounced on long curls.

Of particular relevance sanding strands has for owners of multi-layered (cascading) haircuts. The procedure allows you to remove protruding tips at each level, while maintaining the volume and length.

Curly girls tidy hair in this way will not work - the effect will be, but not as noticeable as on straight hair.

IMPORTANT! Polishing should be postponed if the hair is sparse and prone to hair loss. First, with the help of balms, salon (or folk) means to restore the health of curls, then polish and bring to perfection.

How is the procedure

We emphasize right away that it is better to entrust hair polishing to a professional (at least for the first time). Like any beauty manipulation, polishing is performed according to certain rules and consists of several stages:

one. The head is washed and dried. This is necessary so that greasy tips are not “hidden”.

2 Hair spray styling. This is to avoid electrifying.

3 Curls straighten iron or a special comb. Such a measure will help to capture and remove the maximum number of damaged tips.

four. The hair is divided into parts, the treatment starts from the back of the head.

five. Capturing a small strand, hold the machine from top to bottom, and then in different directions 3-4 times. This allows you to achieve the best effect.

6 The bottom edge at the end of the procedure trim the machine or scissors.

7 The head is washed again, the curls are dried and laid. After such a procedure, the hair looks well-groomed, smooth and shiny.

However, it is worth noting that the opinions of the girls who tried this procedure were divided. Many beauty bloggers speak negatively about this procedure, or simply do not see the stated effect by 100%.
