Fashion Stylist Platinum 500G Ybera Paris

Ybera Paris Fashion Stylist Platinum Enhancer Sealant 500G

This product is a progressive sealant specifically developed for blonde and platinum hair, aiming to straighten, reduce volume and frizz, while protecting color and revitalizing the strands.

Description and Effects:

Progressive Sealant for Blondes and Platinums: Its main function is to promote progressive straightening, meaning it reduces volume and frizz, providing a straight or disciplined effect to blonde, bleached, and platinum hair.

Toning Action (Platinum Color Protection): A crucial differential is its color protection technology. It is formulated to prevent unwanted yellowing of blonde and platinum tones during the straightening and sealing process, helping to maintain a cool and brilliant shade.

Reconstruction and Amino Acid Preservation: The packaging indicates that it "preserves the amino acids in the hair." This suggests that the product not only straightens but also acts in the reconstruction of the hair fiber, replenishing essential nutrients for hair health and integrity.

Shine and Softness: The sealant aims to intensify the shine and softness of the hair, leaving it silkier and with a pleasant feel.

Paraben and Petrolatum-Free: It is formulated without parabens and petrolatum, which can be an attractive feature for consumers looking for "cleaner" ingredients.

Advanced Technology: It is described as a "progressive with latest generation technology" that "maintains platinum color and preserves amino acids in the hair."

Professional Use: It is a "professional use" product, indicating that its application requires technical knowledge and hairdressing skills.

How to Use (Based on protocols for progressive sealants for blondes):

It's important to emphasize that the exact mode of use should always be as stated on the product packaging or in the Ybera technical manual. However, the general process for a toning progressive sealant is as follows:

Preparation:

Wash hair with an anti-residue shampoo or a deep cleansing shampoo from the line, if available, or a shampoo of your preference. Wash 1 to 2 times to ensure cuticles are open.

Rinse hair completely.

Blow-dry hair about 80% to 100%, depending on Ybera's specific instructions (some sealants are applied to slightly damp hair, others to completely dry hair).

Sealant Application:

Divide hair into fine, uniform sections.

Wearing gloves and using a brush, apply the Fashion Stylist Platinum Enhancer Sealant section by section, from mid-lengths to ends, maintaining a safe distance from the roots (usually 0.5 to 1 cm from the scalp).

Use a fine-tooth comb to distribute the product evenly through each strand, ensuring all hair is saturated but without excess.

Processing Time:

Let the product act on the hair. The processing time is crucial and can vary widely:

Fine, bleached, or damaged hair: Generally a shorter time, for example, 20 to 40 minutes.

More resistant hair or with less bleaching: A longer time may be necessary, for example, 40 to 60 minutes.

During the processing time, monitor the hair color, especially if it's very blonde/platinum, to avoid any unwanted alteration (although the product is designed to prevent this, supervision is always good).

Rinse:

After the processing time, rinse the hair. Ybera Paris often recommends a partial rinse for its sealants, removing only the excess product (about 50-70%), especially for more resistant hair. For blondes and more sensitive hair, the rinse may be more complete to avoid overloading. Follow the specific instruction.

Blow Drying and Flat Ironing:

Blow-dry hair 100% completely, aligning the strands with a brush.

Divide hair into very thin sections.

Flat iron each section slowly, 7 to 15 times (or more, depending on hair resistance and desired effect).

Flat Iron Temperature is CRITICAL for Blondes/Platinums: Use a lower temperature for blonde, bleached, or platinum hair (generally between 180°C to 200°C / 350°F to 390°F). Very high temperatures can damage, yellow, or green blonde hair.

The flat iron should be passed from roots to ends continuously and uniformly.

Finishing:

Let the hair cool completely.

You can choose to wash the hair again with a neutral or toning shampoo and conditioner/mask, if desired. Otherwise, finish as usual.

Important Precautions:

Strand Test and Patch Test: ALWAYS perform a strand test (to check compatibility and the straightening/toning result) and a patch test (to check for sensitivity or allergies) before full application.

Qualified Professional: This is a professional-use product. Application by a qualified hairdresser is essential to ensure safety, protect the color of blonde hair, and achieve the desired result.
