Rebonding 101



Soooooo...planning to get your hair rebonded?

Emerging trends in the beauty industry have been increasing the size of your hair wishlists. True? Most of us root for silky, straight hair, not just to ape the latest fashion, but also because it is easier to manage and style it. Hair rebonding is one of those many chemical methods that are offered by salons to straighten your hair permanently. However, before setting off for a session, you must be aware of the procedure involved, all its side effects and how to take care of your hair post the process. So keep reading to get the complete information on hair rebonding.

What happens to your hair after the process?

Your hair is made up of proteins. These are connected by disulphide bonds that give you your hair structure – straight, curly, wavy or coily. Hair rebonding is a technique that relaxes your hair bonds in order to restructure them. Towards the end of the process, your hair will start looking straight and frizz-free.

What products/chemicals do we use during the process?

A mild shampoo
A blow dryer
A flat iron
A relaxant
A neutralizer

The steps during the process

1. The stylist will use a mild shampoo to clean your scalp and hair. This prepares it to go through the lengthy hair rebonding procedure.

2. Your hair will be left to dry naturally. Your stylist may blow dry it as well.

3. Your hair will then be separated into sections to make sure that no strand of hair is missed out on.

4. Every section of your hair will be coated with a relaxant, while making sure your hair is kept straight.

5. The cream is left on for about 30 minutes. If your hair is very dry, frizzy or curly, the product may be left on for more than 30 minutes.

6. Depending on the structure and texture of your hair your stylist will steam it for 30-40 minutes.

7. Your stylist will now rinse and blow-dry your hair.

8. A neutralizer will now be applied to all the sections of your hair to stabilize the newly structured bonds. The product will be left on for another 30 minutes, after which it will be rinsed off.

9. After rinsing and blow-drying your hair, a serum will be applied. Your hair will now be straightened using a flat iron.

Side effects

1. Chemical treatments mean hair damage. Hair rebonding may cause your hair to break. The chemicals used in the process may also irritate your scalp. If you have sensitive skin, talk to your stylist before going ahead with the procedure.

2. Note that your “rebonded” hair will always remain straight. You will have to keep touching-up the roots of your hair to get rid of your original structure and frizz. Touch-ups may also weaken your hair and result in hair loss in some cases.

3. In order to prevent hair damage, you will have to invest in products to protect it from breakage and dryness.

Make sure you don’t wet your hair for 72 hours. It takes about 3 days for the bonds in your hair to stabilize. Avoid using pins and hair ties as well. Hair rebonding usually lasts for 6-7 months. Touch-ups are necessary depending on the pace at which your hair grows. You may have to touch-up every 3 months or 6 months depending on how fast it takes for your hair to grow.
