The Perfect Liss Advance Brazilian Protein Visat Hair Step typically functions as a single-step treatment that comes in a 1-liter bottle. Its advanced formula is engineered to promote structural changes in the hair fiber without harsh chemicals, focusing instead on a blend of beneficial proteins and acids.
Key features and active ingredients often highlighted include:
Protein Blend: A rich combination of proteins (e.g., Keratin, Wheat Protein, Silk Protein, Collagen) that work to rebuild, strengthen, and replenish the hair's natural protein structure, often lost due to chemical processes or damage.
Amino Acids: Essential building blocks that contribute to hair strength, elasticity, and repair, ensuring the integrity of the strands during the straightening process.
Organic Acids: These are the primary agents responsible for promoting the realignment of the hair's disulfide bonds, leading to the smooth, straight effect. Examples might include Lactic Acid or Glycolic Acid, which also offer conditioning benefits.
Nourishing Oils and Butters: Ingredients like Argan Oil, Coconut Oil, or Shea Butter are commonly included to provide deep hydration, intense shine, softness, and protection against dryness and heat.
Formaldehyde-Free Formula: A significant characteristic, ensuring no strong fumes, eye irritation, or respiratory discomfort during application, aligning with modern safety standards.
This product is designed for all hair types, including thick, resistant, curly, wavy, and chemically treated hair, promising a natural-looking straight result with enhanced health and vitality.
Effects on Hair
The Perfect Liss Advance Brazilian Protein Visat Hair Step offers a comprehensive range of transformative effects on the hair:
Intense Straightening and Frizz Elimination: Provides a powerful and long-lasting straightening effect, effectively reducing volume and completely eliminating frizz. Hair becomes incredibly smooth, disciplined, and easy to manage.
Deep Reconstruction and Repair: The high concentration of proteins and amino acids works to deeply reconstruct the hair fiber, restoring lost mass, improving elasticity, and repairing damage from within. This results in stronger, healthier strands.
Exceptional Shine and Softness: Hair achieves a stunning, mirror-like shine and becomes remarkably soft, silky, and pliable to the touch, significantly enhancing its overall aesthetic.
Increased Manageability and Movement: The treatment makes hair much easier to comb, detangle, and style, reducing daily effort and allowing for natural movement.
Protection and Health: The nourishing ingredients help protect the hair during the thermal sealing process and contribute to overall hair health, preventing future damage and maintaining vitality.
Safer Application: Being formaldehyde-free, it provides a much more pleasant and safer experience for both the professional and the client, with no harsh odors or irritation.
How to Use (Professional Application)
The Perfect Liss Advance Brazilian Protein Visat Hair Step is a professional-use product and requires specific techniques for optimal results and client safety.
Hair Preparation:
Wash the hair thoroughly with a deep cleansing or anti-residue shampoo (if the hair is oily or has significant product buildup, wash twice). Rinse well to ensure no residue remains.
Completely dry the hair (100%) with a blow dryer. This step is crucial for optimal product absorption and action.
Product Application:
Divide the hair into four to six manageable sections.
Using a brush, apply the Perfect Liss Advance Brazilian Protein Visat Hair Step evenly to thin sections of hair, from mid-lengths to ends.
Maintain a distance of about 0.5 cm to 1 cm from the scalp, avoiding direct contact with the skin.
Distribute the product uniformly through the strands using a fine-tooth comb, ensuring every strand is coated.
Processing Time:
Let the product act for 40 to 60 minutes, depending on hair thickness, resistance, and the desired level of straightening. For very resistant or virgin hair, a longer time might be necessary.
Partial Rinse:
After the processing time, rinse the hair with water to remove 50% to 80% of the product. The exact percentage can be adjusted: less rinse for more intense straightening, more rinse for a softer effect or if the hair is finer/more delicate. Do not use shampoo at this stage.
Drying and Pre-Straightening:
Dry the hair completely (100%) with a blow dryer, using a professional brush (like a paddle brush or round brush) to pre-straighten the strands as you dry. This step helps align the hair and prepares it for flat ironing.
Flat Ironing:
Divide the hair into very thin sections.
Flat iron each thin section 10 to 15 times (for very resistant hair, some professionals may do up to 20-25 passes), gliding the flat iron slowly and consistently from root to tip.
The flat iron temperature is crucial and must be adjusted based on hair type:
For fine, damaged, or chemically treated hair: use lower temperatures (e.g., 180°C to 200°C / 356°F to 392°F) to prevent damage.
For normal or medium hair: use temperatures around 210°C (410°F).
For thick, very resistant, or virgin hair: use higher temperatures (e.g., 220°C to 230°C / 428°F to 446°F).
Thorough and consistent flat ironing is essential to seal the product into the hair and activate the full straightening effect.
Finalization:
After the hair has cooled down (allow about 10-15 minutes), you can style it as desired. Some professionals might opt for a final rinse with a hydrating mask if needed, followed by drying.
Important Precautions and Professional Tips:
Professional Use Only: This product is exclusively for professional use by trained hairdressers.
Strand Test and Patch Test: Always perform a strand test (to check compatibility and desired straightening results) and a patch test (for skin sensitivity) before full application. This is essential for client safety and optimal outcomes.
Avoid Scalp Contact: Do not apply the product directly to the scalp. Maintain the recommended distance from the roots to prevent irritation or oiliness.
Home Care: To prolong the effects of the treatment and maintain hair health, advise clients to use a quality, sulfate-free and sodium chloride-free home care line specifically designed for chemically straightened or treated hair.
Pregnancy/Lactation/Children: While formaldehyde-free, it's always advisable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, and children, to consult with a medical professional before undergoing any chemical hair treatment.
Incompatibilities: Although generally compatible with various chemicals, exercise caution and perform a strand test on hair previously treated with Henna/Hennê, or if the hair is severely compromised, elastic, or extremely damaged. Observe recommended waiting periods after other chemical services.
