How to Use
The Natureza Cosméticos Citric Brush is a professional-use product and requires specific application techniques to ensure safety and optimal results. It should ideally be applied by a trained hairdresser. Here's a general step-by-step guide:
Preparation (Washing):
Wash the hair thoroughly with an anti-residue shampoo (usually 2-3 times) to ensure the cuticles are fully open and free of impurities.
Rinse hair completely and remove excess water with a towel, leaving the hair about 80% dry.
Product Application:
Divide the hair into fine sections.
Using a brush, apply the Citric Brush product evenly to each section, starting about 1 cm from the scalp down to the ends. Ensure every strand is saturated but avoid over-saturating the hair.
Use a fine-tooth comb to distribute the product and remove any excess.
Processing Time:
Allow the product to act on the hair for a specific period, typically between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the hair type (e.g., finer hair might require less time, very resistant hair might need more). This timing is crucial for optimal results.
Rinsing (Partial/Optional):
Crucial Step: Depending on the hair type and desired result, a partial rinse might be performed. For very resistant hair, some professionals might not rinse at all before blow-drying. For lighter hair, a quick rinse (e.g., 20-30% removal of product) might be done. Follow specific manufacturer instructions or professional judgment.
Blow-Drying:
Blow-dry the hair completely straight using a round brush. This step helps to further align the hair and prepare it for the flat ironing stage.
Flat Ironing:
Divide the hair into very thin sections.
Using a professional flat iron set at the appropriate temperature (usually between 190°C and 230°C, depending on hair type), pass over each section 10-15 times. The high heat seals the product into the hair cuticle, ensuring the smoothing effect.
Final Steps (Optional):
After the hair has cooled down, it can be rinsed again (this time thoroughly, possibly with a hydrating mask) and then dried and styled as desired.
Important Professional Precautions:
Always perform a strand test and skin patch test before full application to check for compatibility and sensitivity.
Work in a well-ventilated area due to fumes.
Use appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, mask if necessary).
Not recommended for pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, or children without professional consultation.
Avoid contact with eyes. In case of contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water.
