Felps Omega Zero Resistance Nanoplastia is a single-step hair treatment that aims to realign hair strands and reduce volume and frizz. Its formula is developed with a focus on more resistant hair, which typically requires a more potent action for straightening.
The packaging highlights the following points:
Zero Unique: Suggests an exclusive and differentiated formula, likely formaldehyde-free. Felps' "Omega Zero" line is known for being free of formaldehyde and its derivatives.
Nanoplastia: Indicates that the product uses nanotechnology, allowing active ingredients to penetrate deeper into the hair fiber for a more effective and long-lasting treatment.
Resistance: Specifically formulated for "resistant" hair, implying a stronger formulation to handle more challenging textures, such as virgin, very curly, or thick hair.
Thermal Sealing | Volume Reducer: Its primary function is to seal hair cuticles and reduce excessive volume.
Macadamia Oil | Hydration: The presence of macadamia oil suggests that the product also offers hydration and nourishment to the hair, helping to maintain health and shine.
Single Step | Professional Use: Being a "single step" product, it simplifies the application process by eliminating the need for a pre-treatment shampoo. It is intended for exclusive professional use.
1 Liter: Comes in a large volume package, common for professional use products.
Effects
The main effects promised by Felps Omega Zero Resistance Nanoplastia are:
Potent and Long-lasting Straightening: Provides an intense and prolonged straight effect, especially on more resistant hair.
Volume and Frizz Reduction: Drastically decreases volume and eliminates frizz, leaving hair more aligned and disciplined.
Intense Shine: The sealing of the cuticles and hydration impart a mirror-like shine to the hair.
Softness and Silkiness: Leaves hair with a soft and silky touch.
Hydration and Nourishment: Macadamia oil and other hydrating actives contribute to the health and vitality of the hair.
Disciplined Hair: Facilitates detangling and styling.
Compatibility: Being formaldehyde-free, it tends to be compatible with other chemical treatments, but a strand test is always mandatory.
How to Use (Professional Use)
As a professional-use and "single-step" product, the application process is optimized. However, it is crucial to follow the manufacturer's instructions and perform all safety tests.
ATTENTION: This product is for PROFESSIONAL USE. It is mandatory to perform a strand test and sensitivity test before any application to avoid adverse reactions and ensure hair health.
Strand Test:
Apply a small amount of the product to a thin strand at the nape of the neck.
Let it act for a period (usually 30 to 60 minutes, depending on hair resistance).
Rinse, dry, and flat iron the strand. Observe the hair's reaction (elasticity, breakage, color change). If there are any signs of damage, do not use the product.
Sensitivity Test (Skin):
Apply a small amount of the product to the forearm or behind the ear.
Let it act for 30 minutes. Wash and observe for any allergic reaction within the next 24 hours (redness, itching, swelling). If present, do not use the product.
Product Application:
Wash hair with only regular shampoo (not necessarily a deep cleansing one, unless the hair is very oily or has product buildup). Remove excess water with a towel. Alternatively, for very resistant hair, apply directly to dry hair. (Always check the manufacturer's specific instructions on the packaging, as "single step" products may vary on whether to apply to damp or dry hair).
Divide hair into thin sections.
Using a brush and gloves, apply the Omega Zero Resistance Nanoplastia along the entire length of the hair, section by section, from roots to ends, maintaining a distance of 0.5 cm from the scalp.
With a fine-tooth comb, remove any excess product.
Processing Time:
Allow the product to act for the necessary time, which varies according to hair type and resistance. Recommendations usually are:
Fine/chemically treated hair: 40 to 60 minutes.
Resistant/virgin/curly hair: 60 to 90 minutes.
Rinsing:
After the processing time, rinse hair completely with water only, removing all product. For blonde or fine hair, ensure 100% of the product is removed. For very resistant hair, some professionals might choose to leave a minimal residue, but most nanoplastia treatments suggest a full rinse.
Drying and Blow-drying:
Dry hair 100% with a blow dryer and, if desired, blow-dry to align the strands before flat ironing.
Flat Ironing (Sealing):
Divide hair into very thin sections.
Flat iron each section slowly 10 to 20 times, or until complete sealing of the cuticles and intense shine are observed.
The flat iron temperature is crucial:
Resistant/virgin/curly hair: 200°C to 230°C (390°F - 450°F).
Blonde/fine/damaged hair: 180°C to 200°C (350°F - 390°F). Use a professional flat iron with precise temperature control.
Finishing:
Allow hair to cool for a few minutes.
Wash with shampoo and conditioner (preferably from a post-straightening line) and style as desired.
This product is a powerful tool in the hands of an experienced professional, capable of transforming resistant hair into straight, shiny, and healthy strands.
