The Eternity Liss Cacau Brazilian Shine Set is a professional two-step Brazilian keratin blow-dry treatment designed for intense volume reduction, frizz elimination, and hair straightening. This kit typically includes a Deep Cleaning Shampoo (Step 1) and a Volume Reducing Treatment or Reconstructor (Step 2). Enriched with cocoa extract, keratin, and often ingredients like almond type 1 (rich in omega 9) and wheat germ protein, it aims to repair damaged areas, provide deep hydration, and leave hair soft, shiny, and easy to control. The "Cacau" (Cocoa) in its name highlights the presence of cocoa extract, known for its antioxidant properties and ability to enhance natural shine. This 2x1 liter set is intended for professional salon use or for individuals who perform such treatments at home.

Mode of Use:
It is crucial to follow the specific instructions provided with the product, as formulations may vary. However, a general application guide for the Eternity Liss Cacau Brazilian Shine Set is as follows:
Preparation (Step 1 - Deep Cleaning Shampoo):
Wash the hair thoroughly two to three times with the Deep Cleaning Shampoo (Step 1) to remove all residues and open the hair cuticles.
For resistant or virgin hair, an additional wash might be required.
After the last shampoo, rinse the hair well and dry it 100% with a hairdryer.
Application (Step 2 - Volume Reducing Treatment/Reconstructor):
Shake the Volume Reducing Treatment (Step 2) well before use.
Divide the hair into thin, manageable sections.
Using a coloring brush, apply the treatment evenly to each section, starting about 0.5 to 1 cm away from the scalp, working from the back of the head towards the front.
Distribute the product through the entire length of the hair with a fine-tooth comb, ensuring even coverage but avoiding over-saturation.
Allow the product to act for the time specified in the instructions, usually around 20-30 minutes, depending on the hair type and desired result. For extremely resistant hair, it might be left longer (up to 30 minutes).
Drying and Flat Ironing:
After the processing time, do not rinse the product unless specifically instructed by the product's packaging (some variations may suggest a partial rinse for very specific hair types, but for this product, it's generally applied and then dried).
Using a hairdryer, dry the hair 100% with a downward motion. Do not brush the hair while drying to avoid frizz before ironing.
Once the hair is completely dry, divide it into very thin sections.
Using a professional flat iron set to the appropriate temperature (typically between 180°C and 230°C / 350°F and 450°F, adjusting for hair type – lower for blonde/damaged, higher for coarse/virgin), pass the iron over each thin section multiple times (e.g., 7-15 times) from roots to ends to seal the product and activate the straightening effect. The hair should appear silky and shiny after this step.
Finalization (Optional):
Wait for the hair to cool completely (approximately one hour).
Rinse the hair thoroughly with water to remove any excess product.
Some sets might include a final hydrating mask to be applied at this stage. If so, apply, let it sit for a few minutes, and rinse.
Style as desired.
Important Considerations:
Always perform a strand test and a patch test (skin test) before full application to check for any allergic reactions or unwanted tonal changes, especially on blonde or gray hair.
Not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
Use gloves during application.
For best and longest-lasting results, use sulfate-free and paraben-free aftercare products.
