ExploreMass replacement and reconstruction are very important treatments to treat the hair, even more so if the strands have suffered damage from coloring, discoloration or other chemical procedures, such as straightening and relaxing. Although they seem to be the same thing, mass replacement and reconstruction have some differences between them. Understand the differences between each treatment and when to do each one on your hair. Check it out!
What is the difference between mass replacement and reconstruction?
Did your hair go through coloring or discoloration and you noticed that your strands are damaged? If so, mass replacement is essential to repair damage caused by color and discoloration.
By removing the natural pigment, discoloration also removes the vitamins needed to maintain hair health, such as nutrients, lipids, amino acids, among others. In addition, the wires can also become thinner and thinner due to the action of chemistry. With the replacement of the lost mass, these vitamins are returned to the capillary fiber, restoring the strands from the inside out and closing the open cuticles.
Capillary reconstruction, on the other hand, is responsible for repairing the fiber of the thread that has been damaged by external damage, by chemical procedures such as relaxation, straightening or excessive use of heat tools without proper thermal protection. Thus, it returns the lost proteins to the threads, especially keratin, a protein that represents about 90% of the thread. This treatment rebuilds the hair fiber, strengthening the strands.

When should I do mass replacement and reconstruction?
After discoloration or coloring, it is very important to replace the hair mass to recover the vitamins lost in the process. Mass replacement can be done every two or three weeks on slightly damaged or healthy hair. Already in damaged strands, it can be done once a week until hair recovery.
Capillary reconstruction can be performed on fragile and brittle hair after chemical procedures such as straightening or relaxing, on a fortnightly basis so as not to weigh the hair down. If your hair is healthy, and even if it is natural, reconstruction can be done once a month.
How to choose the ideal product to replace mass?
Before doing mass replacement and reconstruction, it is very important to know how to choose the right products to carry out the treatment. One way to know that you have the ideal mask or treatment line in your hands is to look at the components of the products. For example, a perfect treatment cream to replace mass should have a set of vegetable proteins to restore mass and a capillary supplement that is rich in potassium to help with maintenance, such as vegetable whey protein and banana, respectively.
If you still don't have a good cream at home, our tip is Niely Gold's Pro-Restoration Treatment Cream, from the Capillary Supplement line, which has an enriched formula of vegetable whey protein and banana, which return the lost proteins to the strands , restoring capillary mass and combating split ends.
How to: After washing your hair with shampoo, apply the cream to damp hair while massaging the locks, let it act for 3 to 5 minutes and then rinse. If your strands are very dry, the ideal is to let the product act for 10 minutes.

How to choose the perfect product to do the reconstruction?
To carry out hair reconstruction, you can bet on a treatment mask that is enriched in MAXQueratina-V, an asset that rebuilds the damaged fiber with an amino acid combo, and bamboo extract, which has a strengthening and moisturizing action. Our suggestion is the Potent Reconstruction by Niely Gold, which has the active ingredients and deeply repairs the hair from root to tip.
How to: Apply the cream to damp hair after using the shampoo, massage the locks and let it act for 3 to 5 minutes. Then rinse.
If possible, it is worth investing in the complete Powerful Reconstruction line to ensure an even more powerful reconstruction of the hair, with the use of shampoo, conditioner and combing cream to complement the treatment.
