The Professional Felps Macadamia Ultimate Blond Thermal Sealing is a hair treatment that combines the action of thermal sealing with toning and nourishment for blonde hair. It is developed to provide straightening, volume reduction, and frizz control, while simultaneously neutralizing unwanted warm tones (yellowish or orangey) that can appear in light-colored hair, ensuring a more beautiful and even blonde.
Its main active ingredients and technologies include:
Macadamia Oil: This is a star active in the formulation, known for its high nourishing, hydrating, and restorative power. It is rich in fatty acids that help replenish the hair's natural oils, providing softness, shine, and manageability, in addition to aiding in the reconstruction of damaged hair fibers.
Toning Pigments (Violet/Blue): Essential for the "Ultimate Blond" function. These pigments work to neutralize unwanted warm tones in blonde, bleached, or gray hair, promoting a platinum or grayish effect, depending on the base color and processing time.
Hydrolyzed Keratin: A fundamental protein that helps rebuild the hair structure, strengthening the strands and assisting in the hair realignment process.
Amino Acid Blend: Acts to replenish hair mass, improving elasticity, resistance, and overall hair health.
Straightening Technology (generally acid-based): Formulated to realign the cuticles and provide the straight effect, without the use of formaldehyde. The action is activated by the heat from the blow dryer and flat iron.
The combination of these active ingredients allows for a multi-functional treatment that straightens, treats, nourishes, and tones in a single step.

How to Use (Professional Use)
The use of Felps Macadamia Ultimate Blond Thermal Sealing is a professional procedure and must be performed by experienced hairdressers. Attention to detail and a strand test are crucial, especially on blonde hair, to avoid over-toning or damage.
Strand Test:
Indispensable: Before any application, perform a strand test on a small section of hair, especially if the hair is very blonde, bleached, or has a history of damage. This serves to verify the product's compatibility with the hair, the ideal processing time for the straightening effect, and, most importantly, to control the level of toning and avoid unwanted tones (such as greenish in very light blondes or purple).
Hair Preparation:
Wash hair with a deep cleansing shampoo (or the preparatory shampoo from the line, if available, although many thermal sealants are a single-step product after regular shampoo). Gently massage the scalp and strands, rinsing well.
Blow-dry hair until it is 50% to 80% dry. It is important that the strands are damp for product application.
Thermal Sealing Application:
Divide hair into thin sections.
Using a brush, apply the Felps Macadamia Ultimate Blond Thermal Sealing evenly to each section, from roots to ends, maintaining a distance of 0.5 cm to 1 cm from the scalp.
Comb through with a fine-tooth comb to ensure homogeneous product distribution and remove any excess.
Processing Time:
Leave the product on for 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the hair structure and desired toning level.
For lighter or more fragile blonde hair, monitor the toning every 5-10 minutes to avoid excessive purple/gray.
More resistant or less blonde hair may require a longer time.
Partial/Total Rinse (Check specific packaging instructions):
For most thermal sealants for blondes, it is common to perform a partial rinse to remove excess product (about 50% to 70%) and control toning.
For very light blondes or those at risk of over-toning, a total rinse may be necessary to remove most of the toning product before the thermal process.
Always follow the packaging instructions. After rinsing (partial or total), remove excess water with a towel.
Blow-Drying and Brushing:
Completely blow-dry the hair, using a brush to align the strands and perform a good straight blow-dry. Complete drying is essential for the flat ironing step.
Flat Ironing (Activation and Sealing):
Divide hair into very thin sections.
With a professional flat iron, pass over each section 10 to 15 times (or more, depending on hair resistance).
Adjust the flat iron temperature with extreme care for blonde and bleached hair:
Blonde/bleached/damaged hair: Use lower temperatures, between 180°C and 200°C (356°F to 392°F). High temperatures can burn or yellow blonde hair.
Normal/resistant hair (if the hair is blonde but resistant): Slightly higher temperatures can be used, but always with caution, up to 220°C (428°F).
Pass the flat iron slowly and consistently, ensuring the heat seals the cuticles and activates the product.
Finalization:
After flat ironing, allow the hair to cool.
Optional: You can rinse the hair and apply a hydrating mask or conditioner to finalize, seal the cuticles, and add an extra touch of softness and shine. Rinse and dry as usual.
Important Considerations:
Exclusive Professional Use: This product is for professional use and requires technical knowledge for application.
Toning Control: Closely monitor the toning during the processing time and rinsing to prevent the hair from turning excessively purple or bluish.
Flat Iron Temperature: The flat iron temperature is the most critical factor for blonde hair. Using very high temperatures can cause irreversible damage, dryness, breakage, or color alteration.
Maintenance: Recommend that clients use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners, nourishing masks, and weekly toning products, as well as heat protectants, to prolong the effect and maintain the health of their blonde hair.
