The Miracle Thermocut Treatment

Give your long hair extra life

Owners of long hair have one common problem - split ends, as well as dry, thin and brittle ends of the hair. The fact is, that cutting a hair strand opens its inner part to the external environment. Thus, the hair structure loses its "building materials" and moisture, leading to it drying and breaking down faster along the length.

Specifically for such a situation, hot scissors have been developed, a haircut tool which makes it possible to "seal" the ends and prevent them from gaining split ends for a certain time. 

Let me tell you a little about the structure of the hair. The structure of hair is based on protein (hard keratin). The hair also contains water, trace elements, pigment and lipids. The cuticle is formed by 6-9 layers of flattened cells, overlapping each other like a tiled roof. The free edge of the cells faces the hair tip.

As the hair grows, the cuticle cells gradually break down and fall off, thus killing off the cuticle layers. The hair cuticle not only performs a protective function, but also determines the appearance of the hair. It is thanks to the cuticle that the optimal balance of moisture, protein, vitamins and amino acids is maintained.

Unfortunately, this protection is not so strong, and under the influence of external factors, such as blow drying, hot tools, coloring, even brushing or prolonged exposure to the sun, the cuticle begins to flake and break up. As a result, the hair loses moisture and begins to deteriorate in the damaged area (it splits down the middle) or it splits at the tip (bifurcates). Hence the lack of shine, increased dryness and fragility. The strands are difficult to comb and the density of the hair at the ends is significantly reduced.

During a haircut with hot scissors, everything happens in about the same way as in the process of a regular haircut, with only one significant difference: the scissors are connected to an outlet. There is a heating element in the build of these special scissors, the temperature of which can be set depending on the type of hair. Unlike a regular haircut, cutting with hot scissors takes a good amount longer. This is due to the fact that the stylist, in addition to giving the chosen hairstyle, must also go through each strand of hair, getting rid of split ends.

Thanks to the sealing of the ends, a haircut with hot scissors gives a long-lasting effect. As a result of this treatment, the scales on your hair are tightly pressed against each other and form a capsule that retains all the nutrients: vitamins, amino acids, trace elements and moisture inside the hair. The hair becomes stronger, the hairs become equally thick along the entire length, which gives good volume at the ends of the hair, the hair acquires shine, is much less electrolyzed, less tangled and easier to comb. Trimmed hair is disciplined for several weeks, preventing strands from behaving in ways you do not want them to. Most importantly, thermocut treatment allows you to maintain or grow your hair, in the most healthy condition it can be. 

As with any salon service, haircuts with hot scissors have their own "recommendations".

Do not choose such a haircut procedure if you:

• Do not like to, or can not visit a hairstylist regularly: a haircut with hot scissors should be repeated once a month to maintain the shape of the hairstyle and once every 3 months when growing out your hair;

• Are not ready for a higher price: a haircut with hot scissors is more expensive than usual one;

• Have very thin hair: in this case, even the minimum heating temperature of the scissors can be detrimental to the strands;

• Are used to using tongs or other heating tools daily for styling: these gadgets have the exact opposite effect to hot scissors and negate all the efforts of the master to seal the ends;

• Dream of an instant makeover: a haircut with hot scissors must be repeated regularly for the effect to become apparent and long lasting.

After visiting the salon, it is important to maintain the effect of the hot scissor haircut. This is not difficult, because the most important thing you have already done, which would be to get rid of all dry and split ends!

The only thing that remains is to maximize and maintain the results.

1. Limit the use of a hair dryer,

Hot tools in one way or another lead to dry hair, so it is better to get away from daily use of curling irons or a hot hair dryer. If this is not possible, protect yourself with strong thermal protection, which is best applied not only to the ends of the hair, but also along the entire length of the strands.

2. Take care of your hair with products,

The best way to combat dry ends is with proper moisture. Make sure to use highly effective products to give your hair the best health possible. Also it is crucial to use products such as split end menders on the tips of your hair.

3. Visit the beauty salon regularly

To maintain the effect, it is important to repeat the haircut regularly with hot scissors. If you plan to keep your long hair healthy, it is best practice to visit the salon every 1.5 months for the first 2 or 3 treatments. After this, once every 2.5-3 months will be enough to maintain the effect.
