In Part 1, hair and makeup artist Yu Nemoto taught us how to choose a hair iron. In Part 2, we will ask about "the burden on hair due to heat damage". Before using the curling iron, let's review the correct usage again!

Q1.Why is hair vulnerable to heat?

A1.Hair is made of protein. Protein is sensitive to heat, and the cuticle is peeled off by the heat, so the water inside the hair evaporates and the hair becomes dry.

The analogy we often hear is "eggs". When heat is applied, protein denaturation occurs, and the thick raw egg becomes hard.
The same is true for hair that is made up of about 80-90% protein, because healthy hair is filled with protein, but the inside of heat-damaged hair collects and hardens, creating cavities. Sukasuka. If you do so, hair breakage, loss of elasticity, and stiffness will be noticeable.

Q2.Please tell me the tips for finishing with as few hair irons as possible.

A2.It is important to brush thoroughly before hair ironing and to prepare the base such as the amount of water in the hair! Never use a curling iron on wet hair (by the way, pull strongly with a curling iron, rub it, or vice versa). If the hair is dry and damaged, or if it is dry, moisturize it with a styling product and pre-treat it, the effect of the curling iron will be different.

Even if you want to reduce the damage of the curling iron, be aware that you should protect your hair with a brushing + damage prevention styling product and apply the curling iron with a thick slice.

At Areti., Areti Triactive Hair Mist, which you should use in front of curling irons and hair dryers, is popular! Contains γ-docosalactone, which has a repairing effect when heat is applied, propanediol, which is a moisturizing ingredient, and behentrimonium chloride. Before using the curling iron, spray it on the entire hair and dry it with a hair dryer before using it.

Q3.If you feel that the setting power is not enough if you reduce the number of times you apply the curling iron, how should you style it?

A3.After using a hair iron, in the case of curls, you can increase the volume with a cushion brush etc. and keep it with a mousse or spray. If it's straight, it's a good idea to calm your hair while increasing its luster with oil.

The γ-docosalactone blended in Aletti Triactive Hair Mist, which was introduced in the comment of the editorial department in Q2, has a repair effect by applying heat, and it can also memorize the styling, so it can curl even on humid days. Keep straight! If you get addicted to it right away, please try it.

Q4.When I start from around the face and finish up to the back, the first prepared part collapses. Do you have any tips?

A4. If you start straight and curl from the neckline and back, then top, side, and bangs in that order, it will be easier to decide without swelling around the face at the end. At this time, it is easier to adjust the style if the top emphasizes the fluffy feeling and is conscious of balancing on the side.
