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.
