To eradicate this daily trouble of straightening, and to get smooth silky straight hair many women are going in for hair rebonding.

our natural hair have their own cellular level bonding and thus their unique texture . In the hair rebonding process, our hair’s natural bonds are broken and then they are rearranged into straight hair. This way, the treated hair becomes soft, smooth and straight . This is a chemical treatment which breaks the texture and bond of your natural hair. Like other chemical treatments, it will have an effect on your hair.

Parting hair : The dried hair is combed and parted in smaller sections . The number of sections your hair dresser will need to put your hair in is dependent upon your hair volume. If you have more volume there will be more partings,

 Step 4:

conditioner/ Relaxant applied: While concentrating on each parting of hair, a thick  conditioner or Relaxant is used on the hair. The hair is kept straight throughout the application using thin boards made of plastic. This process takes a bit of time as the relaxant is applied evenly to all the strands of hair .

This cream or Relaxant is the chemical that breaks the natural hair bond and it is the main step for hair rebonding. The amount of time this cream is left on the hair is dependent upon your natural hair texture and thickness.

On Normal wavy hair it might be left for thirty minutes . For thicker , coarse or curly hair the hair dresser might decide to leave it for a few more minutes but it must be kept in check that the maximum time limit mentioned on the product instruction is not exceeded.

Keeping the Relaxant for more than the recommended time might damage your hair.

Steaming hair : when the relaxant has been kept for the mentioned time, the hair is steamed thoroughly from root to tip. Steaming helps the conditioner/ relaxant to seep into the cuticle of the hair and do t’s work properly from the inside too.

Step 6 :

Wash off : Once the hair has been steamed for ten to thirty minutes (depending on hair texture) , it is throughly washed and all the Relaxant is rinsed out. After washing the hair is again blow dried.

keratin lotion : After the last process is complete the hair dresser will check if you have any curly areas or waves left. A keratin lotion is applied to your hair and a straightener is used to iron away any wavy or curly hair strands

Step 8 :

Neutralising : When all the strands have been straightened properly it is parted like in the beginning and a neutralizer is applied. this neutralizer helps the hair bonds to stabilize again . The neutralizer is left on hair for a minimum of thirty minutes and then the hair is rinsed off and blow dried.

Step 9 :

Serum : Once the neutralizer is rinsed and hair is dried using a hair dryer a serum is used to give nourishment to your locks. This is essential because your hair has been through a very tough chemical treatment so you should provide it with a heavy nourishment like a hair serum.
