What is the difference between straightening and softening hair

1. The practice of hair softening and straightening is different: to soften the hair is to only apply the potion, not the splint, after the application of the potion, wait for a period of time to wash it directly. Straightening is to use a splint to straighten the hair after applying the potion, and finally to apply a good styling potion, which can be blown dry.

2. The effect of hair softening and straightening is different: only softened hair is more natural and soft, and the drape is not very strong. Straightened hair will be very straight, that is, a very straight hair, which looks neat and stiff.

3. Hair softening and straightening have different damage to hair: softening hair is just applying a potion, while straightening hair needs to be permed with a splint after applying the potion, and the high temperature of the splint is also very harmful to the hair, which can easily lead to the loss of nutrients and moisture in the hair, and the potion + high temperature straightening will cause secondary damage to the hair. So softening is less damaging to the hair than straightening.

1. The approach is different.

Hair Straightening: The process of straightening your hair is basically to first shampoo your hair, then apply a straightening potion, then straighten your hair with a splint, and finally apply a styling potion, then blow dry.

Hair softening: The process of softening hair is basically a process of shampooing, then applying a potion, then styling products, and finally washing it off, and then blowing it out.

2. The modeling effect is different.

Hair straightening: The straightened look is very simple and stylish, it looks like a smooth and fairly straight hair, and the overall feeling is completely neat, and it also gives a clean and neat feeling.

Softened hair: Softened hair will look softer, shiny, less straight and more natural.

3. **Different.

Hair straightening: Hair softening varies from region to region, including the choice of potions, and is also different, generally between 100-500.

Hair softening: If you choose a different potion, it will be different, and a good potion is more expensive. Overall** is between 90-400.

4. Suitable for different hair types.

Hair straightening: Hair with quite healthy and coarse hair is more suitable for hair straightening, because the hair is relatively healthy, and the absorption of the straightening potion is not very good, so it needs to be straightened through a splint to make the hair style straighter and the effect is better.

Hair softening: people with poor hair quality, soft hair or people who have done hair a few times still choose to soften, firstly, because of poor hair quality, the absorption of the potion is better, so it is easier to straighten up, and secondly, the damage to the hair is much smaller, which is very suitable for damaged hair, and the effect is more natural.

Precautions. Whether it is hair softening or hair straightening, it is necessary to carry out certain hair care in the later stage, because softening and straightening have a certain damage to the hair, and it is necessary to take good care of the hair. It is advisable to choose a shampoo for post-perm repair to nourish your hair, you can also use some conditioner when washing your hair, or you can choose to go to the barber shop for treatment.

1.In terms of effect, softening is not as straight and smooth as straightening, but softening will be more natural than straightening, and it is obvious that the hair is unnaturally straight, and softening is to soften your natural volume or previous perm volume, and become relatively straight and sagging.

2.In terms of process, straightening is only one more process than softening, softening is to use the potion, and straightening is to iron it with a straight plate clamp after using the potion.

3.In terms of damage, the original potion is to hurt the hair, and then use a straight plate clamp to heat and iron it is a second-degree injury. So straightening is more harmful to the hair.

4.Straightening, because of the use of high-temperature splints, also brings a certain degree of physical damage. However, it is true that straightened hair will look jet-black and shiny in a short time, and at the same time very straight and conforms to your scalp, however, it will not look natural when you look closely.

5.Softening and omitting the splint so it won't be as stiff as straightening, but the effect won't be as concentrated as straightening in a short period of time. If it is necessary to have this option, for the degree of straightness is not large, then softening is sufficient.

However, if possible, neither is recommended, and it is better to do more head and hair treatments.

Softening is an important step in straightening, which is the process of applying potion to the hair, and after applying the potion, it is straightened with an electric splint, which is to make ions! Soften without an electric splint, just apply the potion!

Softening is the firmness of the hair that is softened. Because hair that is too hard is not easy to style, straightening is naturally styling. If the hair is very hard, it is usually softened and then straightened at the hairdresser, so that the hairstyle will last longer.

Straightening is a physical reaction, and softening is a chemical reaction. Whether it is ion perm straightening or curling hair, it must go through the process of softening, the so-called softening, is to use the chemical action of the potion to disrupt the original order of hair molecules, so as to make an ideal hairstyle, why perm will damage the hair quality, this is the reason.

The straightening process of hair is a variety of chemical reactions, simply put, it is several chemicals to replace certain substances in the hair, so that the hair looks vertical and weighty, but excessive pursuit of effect, easy to hurt the hair, it is best to only perm twice a year, pay attention to maintenance after perm, otherwise the hair will be very dry, not easy to comb and affect the effect. Straightening hair is softened with a softener first, and then styling with styling agents, if you don't want to be straight, you can not use styling agents. Be sure to take care of your hair, though.

Straightening is done on top of softening with a splint, and softening using only a potion.

The softened hair will look fluffy and natural, and the straightened hair will be very straight and snug and will not look so natural.

The softening effect looks natural, but straightening is supple and straight, and softening only does damage once, while straightening does deal secondary damage.

The difference between softening hair and straightening hair is that softening hair is an indispensable and important part of straightening hair, while straightening is only a necessary technical process after softening, and only when these two processes are combined can it be regarded as a complete process of straightening hair.

Softening is a means of changing the disulfide bonds in the hair in perm, and it is an essential and important link in hot perm technology and ion perm straightening technology.

Softening can also be understood as making the hair soft, that is, the internal structure of the hair becomes loose through chemical potions, in which the amino bonds will be weakened, the elasticity of the hair will be reduced, and about 45% of the disulfide bonds in the hair can be cut, this process is called softening.

By softening, the amino bonds in the hair are less elastic and the disulfide bonds are cut off, which changes the shape of the hair.

In the softened state, the disulfide bond in the hair becomes a monosulfide bond, which will move with the thickness and shape of the curl, and finally under the action of the second agent (styling agent) of the perm, the monosulfide bond and another adjacent monosulfide bond will form a new disulfide bond, so that the hair will change from straight hair to curly hair, which is the process of perming.

Straightening hair is literally easy to understand, straightening can be done with a hair dryer and a comb to straighten the hair, or with a special electric plate clip, the hair can be straightened. This process is customarily called straightening, and if it is only straightened by a hair dryer and an electric splint, it is temporary. If the softened hair is straightened with an electric splint, this practice is permanent.
