Soupleliss Professional Brazilian Keratin (Hair Realignment with Reconstruction and Nutrient Replenishment) 1 Liter
This product is a progressive hair realignment treatment developed by Soupleliss Professional. It promises to straighten hair, reduce volume and frizz, while also offering reconstruction and replenishment of essential nutrients for hair health.
Description and Effects:
Soupleliss Brazilian Keratin is formulated to transform hair, leaving it straighter, more disciplined, and visibly healthier.
Hair Realignment and Straightening: The main function is to realign the hair fiber, promoting a long-lasting straight effect. It significantly reduces volume and eliminates frizz, making hair more controlled and easy to comb.
Reconstruction and Nutrient Replenishment: The product is explicitly described as "Hair realignment with reconstruction and nutrient replenishment." This means that, in addition to straightening, it works to repair the internal structure of the hair strand, replenishing lost hair mass and providing vital elements for hair health.
Highlighted Active Ingredients: The packaging emphasizes the presence of:
Keratin: A fundamental protein for hair structure. It helps strengthen, reconstruct, and improve hair elasticity, combating breakage.
Baobab: Baobab oil or extract is rich in fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants. It promotes deep hydration, nourishment, softness, and improves hair resistance.
Cupuaçu: Cupuaçu butter is known for its high hydrating and emollient power. It helps seal cuticles, provide shine, softness, and combat dryness, in addition to having protective properties.
Shine and Softness: The treatment aims to leave hair with intense shine and a silky touch, improving the hair's texture and overall appearance.
Improved Combability: Realigned and nourished hair is easier to detangle and comb, reducing mechanical breakage.
Professional Use: Indicated for "Professional Use," meaning that application should be performed by a qualified hairdresser to ensure safety and expected results.
Durability: The realignment and volume reduction effect can last, on average, from 2 to 4 months, depending on hair structure, home maintenance, and washing frequency.
How to Use (Professional Use - Standard Progressive Realignment Protocol):
It is essential to always follow the exact instructions provided by the manufacturer on the Soupleliss product packaging. The general protocol for this type of hair realignment is:
Wash Hair (Preparation):
Wash hair with a deep cleansing (anti-residue) shampoo. Wash 2 to 3 times, gently massaging the scalp and strands, leaving the shampoo on for a few minutes during the last wash to ensure cuticles are well open and hair is free of residues.
Rinse hair completely.
Dry:
Blow-dry hair 80% to 100% dry, removing most of the moisture so that the product can be applied to almost dry or completely dry hair (check Soupleliss's specific recommendation).
Product Application (Soupleliss Brazilian Keratin):
Divide hair into fine, uniform sections.
Wearing gloves and using a brush, apply the Soupleliss Brazilian Keratin section by section, from mid-lengths to ends, maintaining a distance of 0.5 to 1 cm from the scalp.
Use a fine-tooth comb to distribute the product evenly and remove any excess. Ensure that all sections are well covered by the product.
Processing Time:
Let the product act on the hair. The processing time is crucial and varies according to hair type and resistance:
Fine, wavy, or chemically treated hair: 30 to 60 minutes.
Thicker, resistant, or coily hair: 60 to 90 minutes.
Rinse:
After the processing time, rinse the hair. Soupleliss, like many modern progressive treatments, usually recommends a partial rinse (removing only 50-70% of the product excess), or a complete rinse, depending on the formulation and desired effect. Follow the specific instruction on the label.
Blow Drying and Brushing:
Blow-dry hair 100% completely. At the same time, brush the strands to align them and prepare them for flat ironing. Pre-brushing helps optimize the result.
Flat Ironing (Thermal Sealing):
Divide hair into very thin sections.
Flat iron each section slowly and carefully, 10 to 20 times (or more, depending on hair resistance and desired straight effect).
Flat Iron Temperature: Adjust the temperature according to hair type:
Blonde, bleached, fine, or damaged hair: Use lower temperatures (180°C to 200°C / 350°F to 390°F) to avoid damage and color alteration.
Dark and resistant hair: Higher temperatures (210°C to 230°C / 410°F to 450°F) can be used.
The heat from the flat iron is essential to activate the realignment components and seal the cuticles, ensuring the straight effect, shine, and durability of the treatment.
Finishing:
Allow the hair to cool completely.
It is not necessary to wash immediately after flat ironing. Hair can be washed after 24-48 hours, or as per the specific brand recommendation.
Finish as usual, applying a serum or finishing oil to enhance shine.
Important Precautions:
Professional Use: This product is for exclusive use by duly trained hairdressing professionals.
Strand Test and Patch Test: Always perform a strand test (to check compatibility, hair resistance, and the final result) and a patch test (to check for skin sensitivity or allergies) before full application.
Ventilation: Perform the procedure in a well-ventilated area.
