The Vanite Grace Unique Protein Enzimotherapy is a single-step professional hair realignment treatment. It leverages Vanite's exclusive Enzimotherapy technology, which uses enzymatic proteins to optimize the straightening process, ensuring efficient and safe results. Its formula is formaldehyde and silicone-free, focusing on natural-based components for hair care without aggressive chemicals. It aims to provide deep repair and nourishment while delivering a smooth, disciplined finish.
Key ingredients often include:
Enzymatic Proteins: Facilitate the realignment process.
Organic Ingredients: Natural components designed to treat the hair without causing damage.
Reconstructive Agents: Such as a blend of amino acids, which repair damaged hair and restore keratin-derived components.
Dark Oil: A complex of natural oils (e.g., shea butter, acai extract, ochon, macadamia, pracaxi, copaiba, sunflower, jojoba, pure coconut oil, and castor oil) that nourishes deeply, provides UV protection, controls frizz, and boosts shine.
Effects on Hair
Healthy and Long-lasting Straightening: Effectively and durably straightens hair, providing fluidity and discipline without formaldehyde, keeping hair smooth and shiny for an extended period.
Volume Reduction and Frizz Elimination: Significantly reduces excessive volume and completely eliminates frizz, making hair much more manageable.
Deep Hydration and Nourishment: The blend of natural oils and amino acids deeply moisturizes and nourishes the hair, resulting in softer, silkier, and healthier-looking strands.
Intense Shine and Vitality: Leaves hair visibly shinier and revitalized, improving its overall appearance with a mirror-like luster.
Reconstruction and Fortification: Repairs damaged areas of the hair fiber, restoring lost mass, strengthening strands, and helping to prevent breakage and split ends.
Improved Hair Growth: The blend of amino acids can contribute to a stronger hair fiber and potentially aid in accelerated hair growth by creating a healthier environment.
Comfortable Application: The formaldehyde and odor-free formula ensures a more pleasant experience during the treatment.
Mode of Use (Professional Application)
Hair Preparation:
Wash the hair thoroughly to remove any creams or styling products. While not always strictly required, a light cleanse ensures better product absorption.
Dry the hair completely (100%) with a blow dryer.
Product Application:
Divide the hair into four to six manageable sections.
Using a brush and a fine-tooth comb, apply the Grace Unique Protein Enzimotherapy evenly to thin sections, starting about 0.5 cm to 1 cm away from the scalp. Avoid direct contact with the skin.
Ensure all strands are uniformly moistened with the product.
Processing Time:
Let the product act for 30 to 60 minutes, depending on hair thickness, resistance, and porosity. For very resistant hair, a longer time might be needed.
Rinsing:
After the processing time, rinse the hair completely (100%) with water until all the product has been removed. Do not use shampoo at this stage.
Drying and Flat Ironing Preparation:
Dry the hair entirely with a blow dryer. Brushing at this stage is optional, but aim for the hair to be as smooth as possible.
Flat Ironing:
Divide the hair into very thin sections.
Flat iron each thin section 15 to 25 times, gliding the flat iron slowly and consistently from root to tip. The number of passes depends on hair resistance and the desired level of straightness.
Flat iron temperature is crucial:
For fine, fragile, or chemically treated hair: use lower temperatures (e.g., 180°C to 200°C / 356°F to 392°F).
For thicker, more resistant, or virgin hair: use higher temperatures (e.g., 210°C to 250°C / 410°F to 482°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, style it as desired.
Vanite Grace Violet Protein Enzimotherapy (Single Step 1 Liter)
This is the toning version, specifically for blonde, platinum, and grey hair.
Description
The Vanite Grace Violet Protein Enzimotherapy is a single-step professional hair realignment treatment, uniquely formulated with violet pigments to address the needs of blonde and grey hair. It leverages the same Enzimotherapy technology for efficient and safe realignment, but also actively neutralizes unwanted yellow and brassy tones. It's formaldehyde and silicone-free, offering a healthy treatment option.
Key ingredients are similar to the "Unique" version but with the addition of:
Violet Pigmentation: Crucial for neutralizing yellow and brassy tones in blonde, platinum, or grey hair, ensuring a cooler, more luminous color.
Effects on Hair
Tone Neutralization: Its standout effect is the active neutralization of unwanted yellow and brassy tones, leaving blonde, platinum, and grey hair with a cooler, more desirable, and vibrant color.
Healthy and Long-lasting Straightening: Provides an effective and durable straightening effect without formaldehyde, ensuring hair remains straight, disciplined, and shiny for an extended period.
Volume Reduction and Frizz Elimination: Significantly reduces excessive volume and eliminates frizz, making hair much more manageable.
Intense Shine and Vitality: Leaves hair visibly shinier and revitalized, improving its overall appearance and vibrancy.
Deep Hydration and Nourishment: Deeply nourishes and hydrates the hair, making it softer, silkier, and preventing dryness.
Reconstruction and Fortification: Repairs damaged strands, restoring amino acids and strengthening the hair fiber, which helps prevent breakage and split ends.
Improved Hair Growth: Can contribute to stronger hair fiber and potentially assist in accelerated hair growth.
Comfortable Application: The formaldehyde and odor-free formula ensures a more pleasant experience during the treatment.
Mode of Use (Professional Application)
Hair Preparation:
Wash the hair thoroughly to remove any creams or styling products. A light cleanse is generally sufficient; an anti-residue shampoo is usually not strictly required for this single-step product.
Dry the hair completely (100%) with a blow dryer.
Product Application:
Divide the hair into four to six manageable sections.
Using a brush and a fine-tooth comb, apply the Grace Violet Protein Enzimotherapy evenly to thin sections, starting about 0.5 cm to 1 cm away from the scalp. Avoid direct contact with the skin.
Ensure all strands are uniformly moistened with the product.
Processing Time:
Let the product act for 20 to 50 minutes, depending on the hair type, desired straightening, and crucially, the desired toning level.
For blonde or gray hair (which tends to be more delicate) and for toning: 20 to 40 minutes is often recommended. Monitor the toning effect closely to prevent over-toning (purple or grey tint).
For more resistant hair, a slightly longer time might be used.
Rinsing:
After the processing time, rinse the hair completely (100%) with water until all product has been removed. Do not use shampoo at this stage.
Drying and Flat Ironing Preparation:
Dry the hair entirely with a blow dryer. Brushing at this stage is optional, but aim for the hair to be as smooth as possible.
Flat Ironing:
Divide the hair into very thin sections.
Flat iron each thin section 10 to 25 times, gliding the flat iron slowly and consistently from root to tip.
Flat iron temperature is critical, especially for light hair:
For blonde, platinum, grey, fine, damaged, or chemically treated hair: use lower temperatures (e.g., 180°C to 200°C / 356°F to 392°F, some advise even lower) to prevent damage, breakage, or unwanted color changes (yellowing or green tints from excessive heat).
For thicker, more resistant, virgin, or dark hair (if the Violet is used for volume reduction only without toning concern): temperatures up to 250°C / 482°F might be used, but extreme caution is always advised with the Violet version due to pigments and potential for over-toning/damage at high heat.
Thorough and consistent flat ironing is essential to seal the product into the hair and activate the full straightening and toning effect.
Finalization:
After the hair has cooled down, style it as desired.
Important Precautions and Professional Tips for Both Products:
Professional Use Only: These products are for professional use and should be applied by a trained hairdresser.
Strand Test and Patch Test: Always perform a strand test (to check compatibility, desired straightness, and toning effect for "Violet") and a patch test (for skin sensitivity) before full application. This is non-negotiable for safety and optimal results.
Toning Control (Violet Version): For the Violet version, continuously monitor the hair during the processing time for toning to prevent over-toning (which can result in purple or grey tints).
Avoid Scalp Contact: Do not apply the product directly to the scalp. Maintain the recommended distance from the roots.
Home Care: To prolong the effects of the treatment and maintain hair health and color, advise clients to use a quality, sulfate-free home care line specifically designed for chemically treated hair. For blonde/grey hair treated with "Violet," a purple shampoo/conditioner for maintenance is often recommended.
Pregnancy/Lactation/Children: While some manufacturers claim safety due to the formaldehyde-free formula, professional discretion and prior medical consultation are strongly advised for pregnant or breastfeeding women and children.
Incompatibilities: Although generally compatible with many chemical treatments, extreme caution is needed for hair previously treated with Henna/Hennê, Ammonium Thioglycolate, Sodium Hydroxide, or Guanidine. Always check for recommended waiting periods after other chemical services. Do not use on severely compromised or elastic hair.
