Let Me Be Protein Smoothing Single Step 1 Liter

Let Me Be Protein Smoothing is a high-performance hair realignment treatment, formulated to provide intense and long-lasting straightness, volume reduction, and frizz elimination. Its composition is rich in proteins and amino acids, aiming not only to straighten but also to treat and reconstruct the hair fiber.
Unlike many progressive treatments that primarily use acids, Let Me Be Protein Smoothing focuses on a combination of:
Proteins: Essential for hair structure, they help in the reconstruction of damaged fibers.
Amino Acids: Fundamental components of proteins, they penetrate the cortex to strengthen and restore hair strands.
Nourishing Oils (such as Coconut and Argan): Offer emollience, shine, softness, and deep hydration.
Keratin: A key hair protein, it aids in repairing and sealing hair cuticles.
It is a formaldehyde-free product, which makes it safer and more comfortable to apply, without causing eye irritation or respiratory discomfort. It is classified as a "thermal realignment" or "organic sealing."

Effects
The main effects promised by Let Me Be Protein Smoothing are:
Potent and Long-lasting Straightening: Provides an absolute straight effect with significant volume reduction and durability that can range from 3 to 6 months, depending on hair type and post-treatment care.
Drastic Frizz Reduction: Completely eliminates frizz, leaving hair controlled and aligned.
Intense, Mirror-like Shine: The high concentration of oils and cuticle sealing result in exceptional shine.
Extreme Softness and Silkiness: Transforms hair texture, leaving it incredibly soft and silky to the touch.
Deep Hydration and Nourishment: Proteins, amino acids, and nourishing oils penetrate the hair fiber, restoring mass and hydration.
Reconstruction and Strengthening: Helps restore the health of damaged hair, making it stronger and more resistant to breakage.
Compatibility with Other Chemical Treatments: Being formaldehyde-free, it is generally compatible with coloring, highlights, and other chemical treatments, but a strand test is crucial.
Healthier Hair: The treatment contributes to the overall health of the strands, improving their appearance and vitality.

How to Use (Professional Use)
Let Me Be Protein Smoothing is a professional-use product. The success of the treatment depends on correct application and the professional's technical knowledge.

ATTENTION: It is MANDATORY to perform a strand test and a sensitivity (allergy) test before full application to prevent hair damage or allergic reactions. Failure to comply with this step can cause serious problems.

Strand Test:
Select a thin strand at the nape of the neck.
Apply a small amount of the product to the strand.
Let it act for 20 minutes.
Blow-dry the strand and flat iron it 7 to 10 times.
Observe the resistance, elasticity, and any color change. If the hair becomes brittle or elastic, do not apply 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 off and observe the skin for the next 24 hours. If there is redness, swelling, or itching, do not use the product.

Hair Preparation:
Wash hair with a shampoo of your preference (an anti-residue shampoo is generally not necessary, but some professionals opt for it on hair with a lot of product buildup). Wash thoroughly, massaging.
Rinse completely.
Towel-dry hair to remove excess water.
Blow-dry hair 100% dry. The hair must be completely dry before product application.

Product Application:
Divide hair into 4 sections.
Wearing gloves, use a brush and a fine-tooth comb to apply Let Me Be Protein Smoothing section by section, starting from the nape of the neck.
Distribute the product evenly from roots to ends, maintaining a distance of 0.5 cm to 1 cm from the scalp.
Ensure all sections are well saturated, but without excess product. Remove any excess with the fine-tooth comb.

Processing Time:
Let the product act. The processing time varies considerably:
Fine, bleached, or blonde hair: 40 to 60 minutes (monitor constantly to avoid yellowing or damage).
Resistant, virgin, or very curly hair: 60 to 90 minutes.
Do not exceed the maximum recommended time.

Rinsing:
After the processing time, rinse hair completely ONLY WITH WATER. It is fundamental to remove 100% of the product to ensure the result and prevent residues that could yellow or dry out the strands, especially in blonde hair.

Drying and Flat Ironing:
Blow-dry hair 100% dry, aligning the strands with a brush to facilitate flat ironing.
Divide hair again into very thin sections.
Flat iron each section slowly 10 to 20 times, from roots to ends, until complete sealing of the cuticles and intense shine are achieved.

Flat Iron Temperature is CRITICAL:
Blonde, bleached, fine, or damaged hair: Use lower temperatures, between 180°C and 200°C (350°F - 390°F). Flat iron more times at these lower temperatures.
Resistant, virgin, or very curly hair: Use higher temperatures, between 210°C and 230°C (410°F - 450°F).
Use a professional flat iron that maintains a constant temperature.

Finishing:
Allow hair to cool for a few minutes.
You can wash your hair with a hydrating post-chemical shampoo and conditioner or simply style as usual.
To prolong the effect of the treatment, use a sulfate-free hair maintenance line.
Let Me Be Protein Smoothing is a popular choice for those seeking perfect straightness and simultaneous treatment, but its application requires care and professional technique.
