Description: This product is a thermal realignment mask formulated with a blend of active ingredients, often including a type of organic acid (such as GLO acid), keratin, silicone, and vitamin E. It is also a toning mask (matizadora), which means it helps neutralize unwanted yellow or brassy tones in blonde or highlighted hair while it straightens. The product is marketed as a formaldehyde-free treatment that provides a natural-looking, smooth finish.
Effects:
Straightening and Frizz Reduction: Its primary effect is to smooth the hair, reduce frizz, and provide a lasting straightness without using formaldehyde.
Deep Hydration: The formula's blend of vegetable oils and vitamins provides deep nourishment, leaving the hair soft, shiny, and hydrated.
Toning/Color Neutralization: The toning agents help correct brassiness, which is a significant benefit for people with lighter hair colors.
Strengthening: It helps strengthen hair fibers, making them more resilient to damage and breakage.
Mode of Use: This is a professional-use product that requires a specific application process, typically performed by a trained stylist.
Preparation: The hair is first washed with a deep-cleansing shampoo (often Step 1 of the kit) to remove all residues and prepare the hair cuticle. The hair is then completely dried.
Application: The Step 2 mask is applied generously to small, thin sections of hair, ensuring full coverage from root to tip.
Processing Time: The product is left on for a significant amount of time, typically around an hour, to allow the active ingredients to penetrate the hair shaft.
Rinse: After the processing time, the hair is rinsed thoroughly with water to remove all of the product.
Heat Activation: The hair is then completely blow-dried. To seal the treatment and achieve the final straight effect, the hair is flat-ironed in very thin sections at a high temperature. The heat activates the product, permanently realigning the hair's structure.
Post-Treatment: The treatment's longevity depends on proper aftercare, often using specific shampoos and conditioners designed to maintain the effect.

Kerastinni Método Liso Shampoo Detox
This product is a clarifying or detoxifying shampoo designed to prepare the hair for a professional straightening or treatment process, such as the Kerastinni Método Liso system. It is often referred to as Step 1 of the kit.
Description: The Kerastinni Método Liso Shampoo Detox is a deep-cleansing shampoo with a slightly acidic pH. Its formula is designed to remove all kinds of residues from the hair, including excess oil, styling products, environmental impurities, and chemical buildup. This action helps to fully open the hair cuticles, preparing the strands to receive and absorb the active ingredients of the subsequent treatment, such as the thermal realignment mask (Step 2).
Effects:
Intense Cleansing: Provides a deep clean that goes beyond regular shampoos, removing impurities that can block the effectiveness of hair treatments.
Cuticle Preparation: The primary effect is to open the hair's cuticles, which is crucial for the penetration of straightening or nourishing products.
Residue Removal: Effectively strips the hair of any product buildup, leaving it feeling very clean and "squeaky."
Mode of Use:
Application: Wet the hair and apply a generous amount of the shampoo.
Massage: Massage it thoroughly into the scalp and hair, working it into a rich lather.
Rinse and Repeat: Rinse the hair completely. It is often recommended to repeat the process two or three times to ensure the hair is completely free of residues and the cuticles are fully open.
Drying: After the final rinse, the hair is usually towel-dried and then completely dried with a blow dryer before applying the next step of the professional treatment.
