Rebonding And Aftercare

Rebonding is the latest chemical hair treatment to get rid of curls and wavy hair. And since it offers a permanent solution, the price tag attached to it is somewhat on the higher side.

However when we say permanent, don’t expect your fresh growth to be straight, for permanent implies that the hair once treated will remain straight till the new growth doesn’t appear. Quite apparently, the new growth will require subsequent touchups.

The chemicals used in the rebonding process break down the original hair structure, comprising of small particles bonded together, and reorganizes the bonds in the hair to get the desired hair structure. In simple words the treatment involves breaking down the natural structure of the hair and restructuring it to get the desired hairstyle.

There are two categories of chemicals that are used, the first one being a relaxant or cream softener which will break down the natural hair structure and the second one is a neutralizer which will help in giving the hair a new structure.
