Have you ever had your hair straightened at a salon and had silky straight hair, but woke up the next day to find that you had a weird sleeping habit? Have you ever had the experience of waking up the next day with strange sleeping habits? In this issue, we will introduce in detail how to avoid getting bed-habits and how to fix them.
On the day of hair straightening, try to avoid sleeping habits.
In hair straightening, the bonding of keratin, the main component of hair, is once broken by the agent, and then the hair is straightened with a hair iron, etc., before being re-bonded by the agent. It is said that it takes 24 to 48 hours for the agent to penetrate and set in, so it is important to avoid sleeping habits on the day of hair straightening.
Hair is composed of four types of bonds: salt (ionic) bonds, peptide bonds, hydrogen bonds, and cystine bonds. It is the hydrogen bonds that cause the tendency to sleep in. Hydrogen bonds are broken when the hair gets wet and bonded when it dries. Therefore, if you sleep with moisture remaining in your hair, your hair will bend on pillows and other surfaces and dry in a bent state, resulting in a sleeping habit.
On the day of hair straightening, many people bathe with their hair up to avoid getting wet, but if your hair gets wet from washing your face, etc., use a hair dryer to dry your hair thoroughly from the roots. Finishing with a cool blast of air at the end will prevent your hair from sticking to your bed hair.
It is also a good idea to let your hair flow upwards when you go to bed, instead of hanging it over your ears. In summer, for example, night sweats may cause your hair to get wet and stick to your sleeping habits. If it is hot and you feel like sweating, use air conditioning to adjust the temperature of the room.
If you have a sleeping habit the day after straightening your hair…
If you have a sleeping habit on the day after straightening your hair, even though you took care not to get a sleeping habit, it is okay to fix your sleeping habit. If you have a sleeping habit, wetting only the frizzy part of your hair with water will not fix it, so just wet your hair from the hairline and blow dry your hair thoroughly.
If you are worried about wetting your hair with water, you can also apply a wet, microwaved steamed towel to the root part of your bed-habit. To be safe, refrain from curling your hair or tying it tightly with an elastic band the day after straightening.
Straightening your hair makes it easier to fix your sleeping habits.
Many people say that after straightening their hair, their bad sleeping habits have calmed down. If you have frizzy hair and it takes you a long time to straighten it, it is a good idea to consult with a hair salon about hair straightening.
After straightening your hair, try to keep your hair silky and straight, while making sure it doesn’t stick to your bed hair!
