The Clary Liss Pink Ruby line is renowned for its hair straightening products, especially the Pink Ruby Progressive, which stands out for being formaldehyde-free and offering safe, long-lasting straightening. The line also includes other products like the Nano Potentiator Pink Ruby Water.
The Clary Liss Pink Ruby Progressive is an organic hair straightening treatment, formulated without formaldehyde, parabens, or glutaral. Its formula is enriched with a blend of acids (Lactic Acid and Citric Acid) and vegetable and essential oils (argan oil, pequi oil, and coconut oil), which work to restructure the hair fiber. The presence of a violet/Biolis pigment helps to neutralize yellow tones, making it ideal for blonde, bleached, highlighted, or gray hair. The line also features the Nano Potentiator Pink Ruby Water, which uses nanotechnology for deep repair, thermal protection, and color fixation.
Effects
The main effects of the Clary Liss Pink Ruby line are:
Long-lasting and Natural Straightening: Provides a healthy, straight effect without damaging the hair structure. Straightening can last up to 5 months.
Radiant, Mirror-like Shine: The oils in the formula provide intense shine and a velvety touch to the hair.
Frizz and Volume Reduction: Aligns hair cuticles, leaving hair more disciplined and silky.
Toning for Blondes: The violet pigment helps neutralize unwanted yellowing in blonde, bleached, or highlighted hair.
Deep Hydration and Reconstruction: Nanotechnology and nourishing components promote damage repair and intense hydration from within the hair shaft.
Thermal Protection: The Nano Potentiator Pink Ruby Water forms a protective barrier against heat from blow dryers, flat irons, and curling irons, reducing breakage.
Oil Control: Helps balance the scalp, reducing excess oiliness without drying out the strands.
No Strong Odor or Smoke: Being formaldehyde-free, it provides a more comfortable application, without burning or smoke.
How to Use (Pink Ruby Progressive)
It's important to note that the mode of use may vary slightly, but here's a general step-by-step guide for applying the Pink Ruby Progressive:
Washing: Wash hair with a deep cleansing shampoo (usually Step 1 of the kit) 2 to 3 times until the hair is clean and the cuticles are open. For white, gray, or blonde hair that has been in contact with pool/sea water, leave the shampoo on for up to 10 minutes during the last wash.
Drying: Dry hair 100% with a blow dryer.
Application of the Reducer Active (Gloss Reducer - Step 2):
Divide hair into thin sections.
Apply the Gloss Reducer section by section, distributing the product well with a fine-tooth comb for better penetration. Avoid excessive contact with the scalp, especially for clients with sensitivity.
Processing Time: Let the product act. Processing time may vary depending on hair type:
50 minutes: For fine, slightly wavy hair or hair with little volume.
50 to 80 minutes: For more resistant hair, such as curly, coily, or porous hair.
Rinsing: Rinse hair.
For harder-to-straighten hair, remove about 90% of the product.
For blonde, bleached, weakened, or graying hair, remove 100% of the product to avoid unwanted discoloration or excessive yellowing.
Blow Drying: Perform a smooth and powerful blow-dry to align the hair fiber and start activating the shine.
Flat Ironing (Sealing):
Divide hair into thin sections again.
Flat iron each section slowly and carefully until complete sealing of the strands and a mirror-like shine are achieved.
The flat iron temperature should be adjusted according to hair type: 200°C to 250°C for thick and resistant hair; lower temperatures for weakened or blonde hair. Use a professional flat iron that maintains temperature.
Post-Procedure (Optional): After flat ironing, wait 5 to 10 minutes for the hair to cool. Wash thoroughly with shampoo to remove 100% of the product, apply a heat protectant or conditioner of your choice, and style as usual.
Note: Although the Pink Ruby Progressive is formaldehyde-free, it's always recommended to perform a strand test and sensitivity test before full application, especially on chemically treated or sensitive hair. For ideal and safe results, professional use is highly recommended.
