Natureza Biotina Step 2 1 Liter

The Natureza Cosméticos Biotina Step 2 1 Liter is the active treatment component of a professional hair straightening or progressive brush system. This specific product is enriched with Biotin (Vitamin B7), also known as Vitamin H, which is renowned for its role in promoting healthy hair growth and strengthening hair fibers. Alongside other potent ingredients, this formula aims to straighten, reduce volume, eliminate frizz, and intensely nourish the hair. It works by realigning the hair's cuticles, resulting in a smooth, shiny, and disciplined finish, while also contributing to the overall health and vitality of the hair due to the biotin content.

Effects
The primary effects of using Natureza Cosméticos Biotina Step 2 include:

Powerful Straightening and Volume Reduction: It effectively transforms wavy, curly, or unruly hair into a sleek, straight, and significantly reduced volume appearance.

Intense Frizz Control: The formula deeply conditions and seals the hair cuticle, completely eliminating frizz and flyaways, even in humid conditions.

Enhanced Shine and Softness: Hair gains exceptional luminosity and a silky-smooth texture that is soft to the touch.

Hair Strengthening (due to Biotin): The inclusion of Biotin helps to reinforce the hair strands from within, promoting stronger, more resilient hair and potentially stimulating healthier growth.

Improved Manageability: The treated hair becomes much easier to comb, style, and maintain daily.

Long-Lasting Results: The smoothing and anti-frizz effects can last for several months, depending on hair type and proper aftercare.

How to Use
The Natureza Cosméticos Biotina Step 2 is a professional-use product that requires precise application techniques for safety and optimal results. It should only be applied by a trained and experienced hairdresser. Here's a general step-by-step guide:

Preparation (Washing - Step 1):

Begin by thoroughly washing the hair with an anti-residue shampoo (often Natureza Cosméticos Biotina Step 1 or a similar clarifying shampoo). This step is crucial to open the hair cuticles and remove all impurities.

Rinse the hair completely and gently towel-dry, leaving it approximately 80% dry.

Product Application (Step 2 - Biotin Treatment):

Divide the hair into several fine, manageable sections.

Using a brush, apply the Biotina Step 2 product evenly to each section, starting about 1 cm away from the scalp and extending down to the ends. Ensure thorough saturation of each strand, but avoid applying excessively.

Comb through each section with a fine-tooth comb to ensure even distribution and remove any excess product.

Processing Time:

Allow the product to act on the hair for the recommended time, typically between 40 to 60 minutes. The exact timing may vary based on hair type (e.g., finer, less resistant hair might need less time, while very resistant hair might require the full duration).

Rinsing (Partial):

Crucial step: After the processing time, partially rinse the hair to remove excess product. The goal is typically to remove about 50% to 70% of the product, leaving some residue to aid in the straightening process. Avoid rinsing completely unless specifically instructed otherwise for a particular hair type.

Blow-Drying:

Completely blow-dry the hair straight using a professional blow dryer and a flat brush. This step helps to align the hair and prepare it for the sealing stage.

Flat Ironing (Sealing):

Divide the hair into very thin sections.

Using a high-quality professional flat iron, set at the appropriate temperature (usually between 200°C and 230°C, adjusted based on hair type and condition), pass over each section 10 to 15 times. The heat from the flat iron seals the product into the hair cuticles, creating the long-lasting straightening and smoothing effect.

Final Steps (Optional):

After the hair has cooled down, it can be rinsed thoroughly with water (without shampoo) and, if desired, a hydrating mask can be applied. Then, dry and style as usual.

Important Professional Precautions:

Always perform a strand test and skin patch test prior to full application to check for any allergic reactions or adverse effects.

Work in a well-ventilated area to minimize inhalation of fumes.

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, protective mask).

This product is not recommended for pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, or children without prior medical consultation.

Avoid contact with eyes. In case of contact, rinse immediately and thoroughly with plenty of water. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
