<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Two years ago, I would have like someone to answer my question about what is the difference between rebonding and smoothening (or straightening).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Because now, I wouldn\u2019t be experiencing the torment that I am living.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We are all slaves to our hair.<\/p>\n We all want healthy hair without frizz, smooth as silk that dances in the wind and is straight, as straight as the hair of Polynesian women that dance hula.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n But Mother Nature doesn\u2019t make all of us women equal.<\/p>\n In her infinite wisdom, she gave me curly hair genes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And when I say curly, I mean spongy, rebellious, untamable hair that doesn\u2019t listen to my orders. <\/span>\n Every time that I got up in the morning, I had to fight for two hours in front of the mirror to try to give some sort of shape to my hair.<\/p>\n But I always lost the battle, because my hair did whatever it wanted.<\/p>\n Do you know what it feels like when you can\u2019t even tame something as simple as your own hair?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n That day, I had arrived to the office in a bad mood. At lunchtime, one of my coworkers came up to me cautiously.<\/p>\n It\u2019s because my bad mood was scary. It seemed like I had foam coming out of my mouth.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When I told her that I really felt miserable because I couldn\u2019t control my hair, she recommended that I do a rebonding treatment. <\/span>\n It\u2019s safe to say that that same day, when I left work, I ran to the salon to get a rebonding treatment done.<\/p>\n I would mortgage my house if it meant having manageable, straight, frizzless hair.<\/p>\n I didn\u2019t have to mortgage my house.<\/p>\n But what I did mortgage was my hair.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n That\u2019s why, before you go running out of the house to get a rebonding or smoothing treatment done, listen well.<\/p>\n Because the health of your hair is at stake.<\/p>\n And there are some paths with no return.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n That\u2019s why I\u2019ll tell you:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Do you want to know what happened with my hair after I did a rebonding treatment?<\/p>\n Then I invite you to read my own hair horror story.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n I was there, sitting in the beauty salon as if they were going to hand me an Oscar.<\/p>\n But I was far from that. What I would do was receive a rebonding treatment that would leave my hair straight.<\/p>\n But a completely weak and fragile straight.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In rebonding they use two chemical products. Two very, very aggressive chemical products. <\/span>\n <\/p>\n The first is a relaxing cream, which should be called the destroyer, and the second is a neutralizer.<\/p>\n That relaxing cream penetrates the deepest part of the hair cuticle to destroy the natural bonds of the hair.<\/p>\n Those bonds which are small links of a chain, are those that genetically make your hair straight or curly.<\/p>\n In my case, the relaxing cream entered with all its destructive force to open those links and change the molecular structure of my hair.<\/p>\n After dividing my hair into various sections and waiting forty minutes for the relaxing cream to act, the moment came to reveal the work of art.<\/p>\n To do this, they applied a vapor with a type of flat iron. At this point, I started to regret it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n My scalp was feeling a bit irritated, but I was already in the middle of the dancefloor, so I had to keep dancing. <\/span>\n After about an hour, it was unending!, and when I thought it was done, they rinsed my hair.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And now waiting for the hair to dry. When my adrenaline was about to explode, they applied the second product, the neutralizer.<\/p>\n This product is what makes the links, now changed, in the cuticles link back together.<\/p>\n Another forty unending minutes. Once again, time to rinse and dry.<\/p>\n And once again, the flat iron.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When, finally, the rebonding had finished, after almost five hours in the beauty salon, my hair looked spectacular. <\/span>\n Completely straight and it danced the hula. No frizz, and absolutely manageable.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When I was about to put a few pieces behind my ears, a scream came out of the stylist\u2019s mouth.<\/p>\n \u201cDon\u2019t even think about putting your hair behind you ears, nor using sunglasses for a month! It could leave marks in your hair.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n That\u2019s where my disappointment started. I ran out hold my hands down to not put my hair behind my ear.<\/p>\n And a month later, my desperation started.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I was losing tons of hair without even noticing.<\/p>\n Because my hair was so fine, that it didn\u2019t even get stuck in the teeth of the comb. But it fell out onto the floor uncontrollably.<\/p>\n And that\u2019s when I learned the truth.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The rebonding treatment is not for every type of hair. <\/span>\n Just very thick, healthy hair, that hasn’t been bleached<\/a> and colored in at least six months y can tolerate rebonding.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It doesn\u2019t matter how much you want straight hair. You should choose a smoothing treatment that doesn\u2019t damage your hair and leave it at the edge of the abyss.<\/p>\n Because you should know something else, that no one will tell you clearly, even if you have the healthiest, strongest hair in the world, rebonding will damage it. The damage will be small, but it will be there.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And you will be a slave to aftercare, and spend fortunes on deep moisturizing masks<\/a> to get back the health of your hair.<\/p>\n Also, if the chemicals are manipulated poorly, or if they are left on for too long, they can produce burns on the scalp. As in my case.<\/p>\n So, if you want straight hair, what treatment can have less-damaging consequences?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If I could go back in time, I would do the smoothing treatment.<\/p>\n Do you want to know why?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n smoothening also uses certain chemical products, but different from rebonding, it doesn\u2019t alternate the molecular structure of the hair.<\/p>\n Of course, they are less damaging because they act on the external layer of the hair.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The problem of straightening is that in very curly hair it doesn\u2019t offer the same results. <\/span>\n What I mean is, that type of hair doesn\u2019t get a perfectly straight hair effect.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n However, it reduces frizz<\/a>, because in the end, what they use to straighten the hair is keratin, a protein that is found naturally in the hair.<\/p>\n So, what a smoothing treatment does is nourish your hair and close the external part of the cuticle so that you don\u2019t get frizz.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Also, the straightening can be done perfectly in recently dyed hair, or if you will apply the dye to or three days after doing the straightening.<\/p>\n In addition, you will be able to put your hair behind your ears after barely three days.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Is it still not clear for you?<\/p>\n Keep reading because I will also tell you how my hair is today.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n
