Hair rebonding is a process that involves a chemical straightening treatment that chemically relaxes your hair and ends up in straighter and smoother hair by changing the actual structure of the hair. Heat is used to break the amino acid bonds of the hair and once the bond is broken, hair can be refashioned in another way changing the structure of the hair. You can change the shape of your hair no matter how straight or curly they are through hair rebonding treatment.

What is the Procedure for Hair Rebonding?

• It all starts with the cleansing of the hair and the scalp with mild shampoo.
• Then the blow drying of the hair is done or can be left for natural drying.
• Once the hair is dried completely, then they are quarantined into different sections, so that not even a single strand of the hair shaft is missed out.
• Then every section of the hair keeping it straight is coated with a relaxant cream for about 40-45 minutes to break the bonds of the hair.
• Steaming of the hair is done for about 30-40 minutes and it generally depends upon the texture and the structure of the hair.
• After steaming, hair is rinsed with normal water and blow-dried using a blow dryer. Try to avoid hot water or cold water.
• The hair is sectioned again and a keratin lotion is applied to smoothen the kinks and straighten the frizzy hair.
• A neutralizer is then applied to the segregated parts of the hair that stabilizes the new structured bonds and left for around half an hour and rinsed off.
• Hair is blow-dried after rinsing and hair serum is applied and at the end, the hair is straightened with a flat iron.
  
  

How Long Does Hair Rebonding Last?

Hair rebonding treatment is not a permanent treatment but we can say that it is a semi-permanent treatment that lasts up to 6-12 months. It depends on how you take care of it and your hair texture. Also, new hair grows out with the original texture, therefore you need touch-ups every 3-6 months which majorly depends upon the growth of your hair.

Post Hair Rebonding Tips

• The 72-hour rule is a must
• Avoid tying your hair and use of hairpins. Do not wet your hair for at least 72 hours as it nearly takes around a minimum of 3 days for the bonds to stabilize in the treated hair.

Oiling of the hair is important

One should always oil his/her hair regularly for maintaining health and for the proper nourishment of the hair, also to keep them soft and shiny. Generally, it is advised not to use anything that stops the hair bonds to stabilize for 3 days after rebonding. Harsh shampoos and conditioners should be avoided.

Go along with your daily hair care regimen

Always use the shampoo that is generally meant for straight hair and do not forget to condition your hair using a mild deep nourishing conditioner after every hair wash.
