Hello friends,

I’m back with another post! Today, we would be talking about side effects of hair extenso treatment. There are numerous ways to straighten the hair and three most popular ways are rebonding, keratin and extenso treatment. Rebonding hair is generally straightening the hair using rebonding cream which helps to break the bonds on the hair easily. While on the other hand, keratin treatment involves the use of keratin products which help to break the bonds and keep your hair straight for a long period of time. So, what is hair extenso treatment? Does it have any side effects? Here, we tell you about the same.

What is hair extenso treatment?

Beauty experts have said that hair extenso treatment is similar to rebonding process but it helps to add a bit volume to the hair and also gives you sleek hair. Initially, your hair will look extremely sleek and straight but after one week, you will observe some volume in your hair. The effect of extenso treatment goes on for 9-12 months and is less harmful than hair rebonding. Generally, L’Oreal products are used in the extenso treatment.

Extenso treatment generally works on a micro level which helps to relax the bonds on the hair and restructure them so that they don’t go back to their wavy form. Extenso treatment is suitable for people with thin hair, highlighted hair, fine hair or processed hair.
