Encapture Professional Hair straightening creams are products designed to temporarily or permanently smooth and straighten hair. They work by breaking the bonds in the hair shaft that determine its natural shape, allowing it to be reshaped into a straighter form. Here’s a detailed guide on their uses and considerations:
Uses of Hair Straightening Creams
- Temporary Straightening
- Used to achieve straight and sleek hair that lasts until the next wash.
- Often includes heat-protective ingredients and works best when paired with a flat iron or blow dryer.
- Permanent or Semi-Permanent Straightening
- Some creams chemically alter the hair structure for long-lasting straightness, often lasting several months.
- These are usually part of professional salon treatments like rebonding or relaxing.
- Frizz Control
- Helps to reduce frizz by smoothing the hair cuticle.
- Ideal for humid conditions where hair tends to become unruly.
- Improving Manageability
- Makes hair easier to comb, style, and maintain.
- Suitable for individuals with wavy, curly, or coarse hair types who want a straighter look.
- Heat Styling Aid
- Many straightening creams double as heat protectants, safeguarding hair from damage caused by flat irons or blow dryers.
How to Use Hair Straightening Creams
- Preparation
- Wash your hair thoroughly to remove dirt and oils.
- Towel-dry until damp (for temporary straightening) or completely dry (for chemical straightening, if directed).
- Application
- Divide hair into sections for even application.
- Apply the cream generously to each section from root to tip.
- Comb through to distribute evenly.
- Activation
- For temporary products: Use a blow dryer or flat iron to activate the cream and set the straightness.
- For permanent solutions: Follow the manufacturer’s or stylist’s instructions, which may include leaving the cream on for a specific duration and neutralizing it afterward.
