Felps Omega Zero Unique Nanoplastia is a single-step hair treatment that aims to realign hair strands and reduce volume and frizz, with a formulation optimized for more delicate hair.
The packaging highlights the following points, compared to the "Resistance" version:
Zero Unique: Similar to the Resistance version, it suggests an exclusive and differentiated formula, free from 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.
SENSITIVE: This is the main differentiator. It is specifically formulated for sensitive hair, meaning a milder composition for chemically treated, bleached, fine, or weakened 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, which is crucial for sensitive hair.
Sensitive Hair | Gentle Formula: Reinforces its indication for delicate hair and the mildness of the formula.
Single Step | Professional Use: Being a "single step" product, it simplifies the application process by eliminating the need for a pre-treatment shampoo in most cases. 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 Unique Nanoplastia (Sensitive version) are:
Effective and Gentle Straightening: Provides a satisfactory straight effect, but with a gentler approach, minimizing the risk of damage to sensitive 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.
Intensive Hydration and Nourishment: Macadamia oil and other hydrating actives are essential for restoring moisture and health to sensitive or damaged hair.
Disciplined Hair: Facilitates detangling and styling.
Safety for Delicate Hair: Its gentle and formaldehyde-free formula is safer for hair that has undergone chemical processes or is naturally fragile.
Compatibility: Being formaldehyde-free, it tends to be compatible with other chemical treatments, but a strand test is always mandatory and even more crucial for sensitive hair.
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, especially with this sensitive hair version.
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. The "Sensitive" version requires even more caution.
Strand Test:
Essential for sensitive hair. Apply a small amount of the product to a thin strand at the nape of the neck or in a less visible area.
Let it act for a period (usually 30 to 50 minutes for sensitive hair, but always observe the instructions on the packaging).
Rinse completely, blow-dry, and flat iron the strand. Carefully observe the hair's reaction (elasticity, breakage, dryness, color change). If there are any signs of damage, do not use the product. For blonde or bleached hair, observe for any tone alteration or greening.
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:
For sensitive hair, it is recommended to wash with a regular shampoo (hydrating, if possible) and remove excess water with a towel, leaving the hair damp. For some single-step products, it can be applied to dry hair, but for "Sensitive," application on damp hair is more common for control and less aggression. (Always check the manufacturer's specific instructions on the packaging).
Divide hair into thin sections.
Using a brush and gloves, apply the Omega Zero Unique Nanoplastia SENSITIVE 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 to avoid overloading.
Processing Time:
Allow the product to act for the necessary time, which varies according to hair type and sensitivity. Recommendations usually are:
Fine/chemically treated/sensitive hair: 30 to 50 minutes.
For blonde or bleached hair, the processing time may be even shorter, and visual monitoring is crucial to prevent yellowing or damage.
Rinsing:
After the processing time, rinse hair COMPLETELY with water. For sensitive, blonde, or damaged hair, thoroughly rinsing off the product is FUNDAMENTAL to avoid overload, dryness, and color alteration.
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 7 to 12 times, or until complete sealing of the cuticles and intense shine are observed.
The flat iron temperature is EXTREMELY CRITICAL for sensitive hair:
Blonde/fine/damaged/sensitive hair: USE LOW TEMPERATURES, between 180°C and 200°C (350°F - 390°F). NEVER exceed 200°C for these hair types. The use of a professional flat iron with precise temperature control is indispensable. Flat iron more times at lower temperatures rather than fewer times at very high temperatures.
Finishing:
Allow hair to cool for a few minutes.
Wash with shampoo and conditioner (preferably from a post-straightening line or one specifically for treated/sensitive hair) and style as desired.
The "Sensitive" version of Felps Omega Zero Unique Nanoplastia is an excellent option for clients with delicate hair who desire the benefits of straightening with safety and treatment. The professional's technical mastery is even more important in this case to ensure satisfactory results without compromising hair integrity.
