Brilio.net - Hair smoothing is a hair care technique that aims to reduce frizz, smooth hair texture and make hair feel softer. This technique is very suitable for hair that tends to be curly or wavy.
The hair smoothing process usually involves the use of special products or chemicals that contain ingredients such as keratin or other proteins that help soften the hair cuticle layer.
To carry out smoothing treatment, most people will come to a beauty salon so that the results are optimal. However, quite a few also do it independently to save more. Unfortunately, doing independent smoothing is not easy. Not a few actually fail and result in hair damage.
As experienced by a woman who shared a story of pain after doing self-smoothing via her personal TikTok account @intandwiwidyah86. The reason is, the woman's hair actually became bald after the treatment she did herself.

"Hopefully the bad experience of hair smoothing can be a lesson for all of us," he wrote in the description of the uploaded video, quoted by briliobeauty.net , Wednesday (24/7).
The sad story began when the account owner, known as Intan, decided to smooth it. He took this decision for the reason that he didn't have to dye his hair every day.
"Because I was too lazy to straighten, I finally decided to use hair smoothing medicine, but it didn't work," he said.

After doing the treatment independently, instead of getting hair that was soft, straight and easy to manage, Intan actually experienced pain . His hair had coin baldness.
Coin baldness is a term that refers to the condition of baldness that occurs in the center of the head, forming a round or rounded area like a coin in the middle of a person's head.
Intan's coin baldness is thought to be the result of using smoothing medication that is too strong. Finally, Intan decided to wear a headband every time she did activities to cover the bald patch on her head.

Luckily, coin baldness can still be overcome and the hair grows back. The reason is, Intan diligently cares for her hair using boiled guava leaves. As is known, guava leaf decoction is a natural concoction that is believed to have benefits for hair health, especially in strengthening the roots and stimulating new hair growth.
Not without reason, guava leaves are rich in various active substances such as vitamins, minerals and antioxidant compounds which are important for maintaining healthy hair. Finally, over time, Irene's hair grew thick again and the coin bald spot on her head disappeared.

At the end of the video, Intan reminds you to be more careful when doing hair treatment yourself. Make sure to pay attention to the product you choose, and do a test or patch test first to prevent any bad effects that might occur.
"All of you are careful when using smoothing products because not all of them are suitable," concluded Intan.
