Chromoenergy complex: description and reviews
The dream of any woman is beautiful hair. Every year, companies that produce professional hair cosmetics, produce all new, improved means. Some promise to make hair grow with redoubled force, others give them volume, and still others - make them smooth and silky, so that everyone thinks that you left the eminent salon.
What is it?
HEK (chromoenergetic complex) is a special emulsion developed by the leading world brand of professional cosmetics for hair care "Estel". Its main purpose is to care for the hair, as well as protection from both the harmful effects of various chemicals and the influence of styling devices.
Many girls mistakenly confuse the chromoenergetic complex for hair with a lamination procedure, but only in a budget variant and at home, without the help of specialists. Hairdressers say that these two concepts are not connected in any way.
Differences between lamination and HEC
By lamination means covering the hair with a colorless compound, like a paint that not only does not damage the hair, but also temporarily improves their condition. Thus, the curls become stronger and more elastic, the structure of the hair is thickened, and the flakes are smoothed out.
The result is a smooth and shiny head of hear. But only for that period, while the same miracle composition lasts. In fact, on the hair for some subjectively long time contains an invisible film, which contributes to this effect. Once the film is washed off - the hair returns to its previous state.
What does the chromoenergetic complex do? First of all, it acts as a protection against the harmful effects of coloring substances on the structure of the hair. He does not form the same film, but nourishes the hair from the inside. Therefore, the effect is accumulative, and it is not possible to wash off useful substances, as in the example with lamination.
Select a brand
By the way, another difference is the fact that this complex has no analogues. Therefore, to get confused in the manufacturers and to choose, whose means are more effective, do not have to. Buy only the "Estel" chromic energy complex. Surely over time, fakes or analogues will start to be manufactured, much cheaper than the original. To yield to this is not worth it, the only brand that has a patent for this tool today is Estel.
Expected Result
The manufacturer gives the following promises, describing the possible effect of using HEC:
1) the hair will become more shiny, becoming soft and silky;
2) the structure of the hair is leveled;
3) the negative effect of aggressive chemicals on staining or discoloration is minimized;
4) the conditioning properties of the mixture for coloring will increase.
Thus, the manufacturer himself emphasizes that this complex is designed to provide a more comfortable for the structure of hair staining procedures.
Packaging
The chromoenergetic complex is usually sold in a cardboard package of purple-pink color with indication of the name and brand of the manufacturer. In one box contains 10 ampoules of 5 ml. It is also possible to purchase ampoules one by one.
Composition
In the vastness of the World Wide Web, finding the full composition of this tool is difficult, even impossible. Usually the official website of the manufacturer indicates all that is needed for the curious information. However, in this case this did not happen.
So how do you know what the Ester chromoenergetic complex consists of? One can only rely on some minimum, which suggests that the main ingredients are a complex of vitamins, chitosan and chestnut extract. In fact, the composition, of course, is somewhat wider. But even if you decide to go directly to the packaging and information on it, you will be disappointed in the form of a small font. Whether the composition is so secret, or not so good.
How does he work
Nevertheless, having received data on the composition, it is possible to draw conclusions about the effect of this very striking effect.
First, they are vitamins A, E and B5. Add to them the same extract, which was mentioned above, and a little bit of biotin. The result - increased blood circulation, stimulation of hair growth, preventing loss of moisture and moisturizing.
Thirdly, it is castor oil, which is famous for its magical effect, aimed at activating hair growth and, of course, moisturizing.
About cons
Where is without flaws. For example, the chromoenergetic complex contains silicones. They are basically not very useful for hair. In addition, as far as is known, silicone components in any composition with frequent use form an indelible protective film, which is rather negative than a positive effect, preventing the ingress of oxygen. In this case, when painting such a film, smoothing out the scales of the hair, will prevent the penetration of the dye particles into the structure itself, which means that the shade will be uneven or quickly washed off.
Ways to use
Despite the fact that the emulsion is designed mainly for beauty salons and hairdressing salons to make the dyeing process less traumatic for the hair, it can still be used at home. It is not necessary to apply only when staining the chromoenergetic complex. How to use it yet, we will consider right now.
Adding ampoules to the ink
HEK (chromic energy complex) should be added to the paint immediately before use. At the same time, it does not matter which type of durability the dye belongs to. HEK is excellent for both permanent and semi-permanent.
HEK is suitable only for dyes Estel?
The most common question among girls is whether it is possible to use a chromoenergetic complex with other brands of hair dyes. The use of the product is not limited to the company's own production facilities. Therefore, we can safely apply both professional dyes and household products, mass consumption. Of course, the manufacturer himself says that the greatest effect can be achieved by combining the emulsion in a pair with the means of own production "Esel". However, based on the practice and feedback of both ordinary consumers and professionals of hairdressing art, one can come to the conclusion that another brand in tandem does not affect the operation of HEC.
Adding to care products
HEK also can be used as a supplement to masks and balms for hair care. The algorithm is simple. First you need to do the cleansing procedures, then get wet with a towel so that they are wet, but not damp. After that, mix your favorite balm or mask with the complex and spread the mixture over all the hair. It is better to cover your head with a towel or a special cap. Then wait 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the original remedy, and rinse thoroughly.
Chromoenergetic complex. Dosing instructions
A simple mixing of the ingredients will not be enough. In everything you need to know the proportions. After all, only from them depends the benefit, as well as the speed of the effect obtained.
Regardless of where you decide to add the complex, you should consider the length of the hair. It is logical that long hair will require more paint or balm, and therefore, dosages of HEK, and for short hair - less.
If you decide to add a complex to the paint, calculate the following proportion - 1:10. It turns out that on average the owner of long hair, using a little more than a whole box of household paint, should add about three ampoules of emulsion to her.
If a mask or balm is used instead of a paint, then the dosage of the emulsion should be reduced. Usually one or two ampoules are enough, depending on the length of the hair.
The frequency of use is not limited to anything. It is considered optimal to use HEK once or twice a month.
Chromoenergy complex: reviews
You can say a thousand words about the quality of this product, paint its magic properties and assure you of the need to purchase. But all this will be empty words without any confirmation. A real picture can show customer feedback.

Even spoiled with numerous stains, the hair looks healthy and becomes obedient, soft and silky.
A bit of criticism
In any barrel of honey must necessarily be present a fly in the ointment. And this spoon is the comments of skeptics about the miraculous properties of the complex. Only a small part notes that the emulsion has not produced any visible effect. Hair remained the same quality. Some say that after using curls, on the contrary, they became tougher, there was no question of any ease of combing. Others indicate silicones in the emulsion. Undoubtedly, many shampoos or hair care products get rid of them. And the companies-manufacturers conduct all new researches proving that silicones in hair cosmetics should not be. Perhaps the rare use of HEK does not harm the hair, fixing the effect, and not neutralizing it with time. However, the long and constant use of the complex is not being discussed. So, it's too early to talk about pros and cons.
Conclusion
To use HEC or not, to solve, no doubt, you. Not only simple townsfolk, but also professionals in their field, note the beneficial effect of the complex on the structure and appearance of the hair. And to find out whether it suits you, you need not just blindly trust the numerous reviews, but try this product on yourself. And then, perhaps, for one happy woman with luxurious hair will be more.
