Brazilian Hair Straightening
Brazilian Hair Straightening is an intense straightening treatment that will produce soft, smooth, and straight hair. The keratin protein, which is the main star of the treatment is responsible for relaxing the hair strands without producing damage. The keratin protein also enhances shine and the overall health of the hair.

Keratin is a type of protein that can be found on your skin, nails, and hair. Aldehyde, which is a formaldehyde derivative, is also part of the treatment and will help the keratin infuse into the hair strands. Usually, the keratin protein will be infused into the hair using a heat application. The internal structure of the hair bond will remain unchanged, but the cuticle will be smoothed and damage to your hair will be repaired. Although the internal hair bond remains the same, the hair overall, will thus be more flexible and stronger than before.

One of the major strengths of a Brazilian hair straightening treatment is that that it can be applied on all hair types, whether your hair is colored, permed, or natural. The treatment is actually ideal for damaged hair, which is generally characterized by dull-looking and brittle hair, as the keratin treatment can restore the shine and vitality of your locks.

It is imperative, however, that the Brazilian hair straightening treatment be performed by a professional in a reputable salon to get the best results. The process involves many complex steps and will need to be conducted properly.

The process of a Brazilian hair straightening treatment begins with your hair being thoroughly cleaned using a special clarifying shampoo. Afterwards, the hair will be completely blow dried to make sure no moisture is left behind. The hair will be sectioned and will be saturated with the solution of keratin protein. Every strand will be coated. Each section will then be straightened using a flat iron, about 5 times. The heat will help infuse the keratin into the hair strands. The solution will sit in the hair for 72 hours. Afterwards it will be washed with shampoo and conditioner. The result should be soft, frizz-free, shiny hair.

Your salon professional will advise you not to wash your hair for four days. After the four days have passed, you can then wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner. The hair products you should use should be sulfate-free and sodium chloride-free, as these ingredients will only strip the hair straightening products off your hair.
