The Natureza Cosméticos Leite Natural Therapy 1 Liter is a professional hair treatment, often utilized as a smoothing or realignment system. Its name, "Leite Natural Therapy" (Natural Milk Therapy), suggests a formulation that aims for a gentler yet effective approach to hair transformation. This product typically features ingredients designed to reduce frizz, control volume, and provide a straightening effect, while also deeply nourishing the hair. It's often formulated to deliver a natural-looking smooth finish, leaving hair soft, shiny, and more manageable without the harshness sometimes associated with stronger chemical treatments.
Effects
The primary effects of using Natureza Cosméticos Leite Natural Therapy include:
Progressive Smoothing and Volume Reduction: It works to gradually straighten the hair and significantly reduce unwanted volume and bulk.
Effective Frizz Control: The treatment helps to seal the hair cuticles, eliminating frizz and making hair resistant to humidity.
Intense Hydration and Softness: Despite its smoothing action, it deeply moisturizes and conditions the hair, leaving it feeling incredibly soft and supple.
Enhanced Shine and Healthy Appearance: Hair acquires a remarkable, natural luminosity and appears healthier and more vibrant.
Improved Hair Manageability: Treated hair becomes much easier to comb, brush, and style, cutting down on daily styling time.
Natural-Looking Results: It aims to provide a sleek, natural-looking straightness rather than a stiff or artificial appearance.
How to Use
The Natureza Cosméticos Leite Natural Therapy is a professional-use product and typically requires specific application techniques to ensure optimal and safe 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 (often 2-3 times) to ensure the hair cuticles are fully open and free from any impurities or product build-up.
Rinse the hair completely and gently towel-dry, leaving it about 80% dry.
Product Application:
Divide the hair into several fine, manageable sections.
Using a brush, apply the Leite Natural Therapy product evenly to each section, starting about 1 cm from the scalp and extending down to the ends. Ensure every strand is saturated, but avoid oversaturation.
Use a fine-tooth comb to distribute the product thoroughly and remove any excess.
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 usually to rinse out 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 or round brush. This step helps to further 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 190°C and 230°C, adjusted based on hair type and condition), pass over each section 10 to 15 times. The high heat seals the product into the hair cuticle, ensuring the smoothing and straightening 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 prior to full application to check for compatibility and sensitivity.
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.
