March 01, 2024 BONUS: Cysteamine HCL & Ammonia Thioglycolate Walk Into a Bar…
In this bonus episode of Brow Education, Megs discusses the chemicals used in brow lamination and their effects on the hair. She explains the different types of chemicals, their active ingredients, and how they work to soften and open the cuticle of the hair shaft. Megs also talks about delivery systems, irritants, and the importance of choosing the right solution based on the client's hair type and skin sensitivity. She then goes into detail about the pH level adjustment in step two and the nourishing effects of step three. Finally, Megs addresses the issue of hair lightening during lamination and offers tips for fixing any unwanted color changes.
Takeaways:
There are different types of chemicals used in brow lamination, including Cysteamine HCL (hydrochloride) and ATG (ammonium thioglycolate).
The choice of solution depends on the client's hair type and skin sensitivity, with ATG being more suitable for coarse or thick hair and cysteamine HCL being gentler and better for thinner hair types.
Delivery systems, such as Aloe Vera, can be used to provide hydration and minimize the drying effects of the chemicals.
Step two of the lamination process involves adjusting the pH level of the hair to bring it back to the acidic side, which is healthier for the hair and skin.
After the lamination process, it is important to nourish the hair with keratin treatments or vitamin treatments to restore moisture and strengthen the hair.
Hair lightening can occur during the lamination process due to the alkaline nature of the chemicals used. This can be fixed by applying tint or using caution when tinting the hair.
Overall, brow lamination is a versatile treatment that can be customized based on the client's needs and desired results.
