This 1-liter professional hair treatment, often referred to as a "Brazilian progressive brush" or "nanoplasty" (even if not explicitly stated on the label, the "formaldehyde-free" and "gloss reducer" points to this type of technology), is designed for hair straightening, volume reduction, and intense frizz control. The "Formaldehyde Free" aspect highlights its formulation with organic acids, amino acids, and nourishing oils (common ingredients include argan, ojon, coconut, amla, keratin, and hyaluronic acid) instead of traditional formaldehyde, making it a safer option for both stylists and clients. It aims to deliver a long-lasting smooth, glossy, and manageable result without harsh chemicals. It's typically intended for professional use in salons.
Effects:
Progressive Straightening & Volume Reduction: Gradually straightens hair with each application, significantly reducing volume and frizz for a sleek, smooth look. The "reducer" aspect focuses on controlling excess volume.
Formaldehyde-Free Smoothing: Achieves a straight or smoothed effect without the use of formaldehyde, minimizing health risks and strong odors.
Intense Shine & Gloss: Infuses hair with incredible luminosity and a mirror-like shine due to cuticle sealing and nourishing ingredients.
Deep Hydration & Nourishment: Enriched with oils and amino acids, it deeply moisturizes and replenishes hair, improving its texture, elasticity, and overall health.
Frizz Elimination: Effectively eliminates frizz, even in high humidity, leaving hair disciplined and manageable.
Hair Realignment: Works to realign hair fibers, resulting in a smoother, more uniform appearance.
Long-lasting Results: Provides a durable smoothing effect, typically lasting several months, depending on hair type and aftercare.
Compatibility: Often compatible with chemically treated hair (colored, highlighted), but a strand test is always crucial.
Mode of Use (General Guidance - PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY. Always perform a strand test and follow the manufacturer's specific instructions precisely for safety and optimal results, as formulations and application steps can vary slightly between brands):
Important Pre-Cautions:
Strand Test & Allergy Test: Absolutely essential before full application to check hair compatibility, elasticity, and potential allergic reactions.
Professional Application: This product is for professional use only.
Ventilation: Ensure good ventilation in the salon environment.
Gloves: Always wear appropriate gloves during application.
Typical Application Steps:
Preparation (Shampoo):
Wash hair thoroughly with a clarifying or anti-residue shampoo (often a specific "Step 1" provided by the brand) to open the cuticles and remove impurities.
Rinse well and repeat if necessary until the hair feels clean and slightly rough (indicating open cuticles).
Towel-dry hair, leaving it about 80-100% dry (some brands recommend 100% dry, others slightly damp).
Application of Gloss Reducer:
Divide hair into thin, manageable sections.
Using a brush, apply the "Definitiva Indiana Gloss Reducer" (often the "Step 2" or main product) evenly to each strand, starting from the nape of the neck.
Maintain a small distance from the scalp (e.g., 0.5 to 1 cm) to avoid direct contact.
Comb through each section to ensure even distribution and remove excess product.
Processing Time:
Allow the product to act on the hair for the time specified by the manufacturer. This typically ranges from 40 to 90 minutes, depending on hair type, resistance, and desired level of straightening. Some instructions may recommend using a thermal cap for part of the time.
Rinsing (Partial or Full):
Rinse the hair thoroughly with water. Crucially, many formaldehyde-free treatments require only a partial rinse (e.g., removing 30-50% of the product), while others may require a full rinse. Follow the specific product instructions carefully for this step, as it impacts the final result.
Drying & Thermal Activation:
Blow-dry the hair completely straight with a blow dryer and brush (e.g., a paddle brush), aiming for maximum alignment. This step is vital for activating the smoothing agents.
Once hair is 100% dry, divide it again into very thin sections.
Flat Ironing (Sealing):
Flat iron each thin section slowly and precisely. The temperature and number of passes depend on the hair type and condition (e.g., 200°C-230°C for resistant hair, lower temperatures for fine or chemically processed hair).
Typically, 7-15 passes per section are recommended to seal the product into the hair cuticle and achieve the desired smooth effect.
Final Rinse & Conditioning (Optional, but often recommended):
Allow the hair to cool completely.
Rinse the hair thoroughly with water to remove any remaining product.
Apply a moisturizing conditioner or a pH balancing mask (some kits include "Step 3" or "Step 4" products like a neutralizer or mask). Leave on for a few minutes, then rinse.
Finalization:
Blow-dry and style as desired.
Post-Treatment Care:
Advise clients to use sulfate-free and sodium chloride-free shampoos and conditioners to prolong the effects of the treatment.
Recommend specific home care products from the "Indiana" line if available.
Avoid tying hair tightly for the first few days post-treatment.
