Hair shielding in a beauty salon
More recently, beauty salons have begun to provide such a procedure as hair shielding. But, despite this, the girls who have experienced its effect on themselves leave only positive reviews.

But color shielding has one advantage - you can make the shade of the hair more saturated or give it a completely different tone. The result will be noticeable immediately after the completion of the procedure. The hair shielding procedure is carried out in several stages:
- First of all, the hair is well wetted, since it must be wet, after which special products are applied.
- Now you need to wait a while, since all the nutrients must penetrate deep into the hair.
- After a certain time, you must thoroughly rinse your hair with plenty of water.
- Then the hair should dry naturally, without using a hair dryer.
- Colored or colorless shielding mixtures are applied to the strands.
- Now you need to wait about 25 minutes.
- To speed up the absorption of nutrients, the strands are dried with a hairdryer - the streams of hot air should be distributed evenly along the entire length of the hair.
- After the curls are completely dry, a special balm is applied, with which the result is fixed.
- The hair should be dry.

Over the next two to three weeks, your hair will have a beautiful glossy shine, no matter how often you wash your head. Then the procedure will need to be repeated.

- It is very important to distribute the product evenly, therefore it is recommended to divide the hair into separate strands and process them one by one.
- After a certain period of time, which is necessarily indicated in the instructions, you need to thoroughly rinse your hair with plenty of running water.
- Hair is dried with a hairdryer, while a hot mode is necessarily set.
- Gently, the fixing agent is evenly distributed over the entire surface of the hair, from roots to ends.
- At the end, the hair is dried again with a hairdryer and you can enjoy the result.
