Vanité Grace Unique Protein Enzimoteraphy Single Step 100ML
This product is a hair realignment and straightening treatment, characterized by being a "Single Step," which optimizes application time. It utilizes "Enzymotherapy" technology combined with proteins, aiming to transform hair texture for a lasting straight effect, with treatment and shine. The presence of "Ojon Oil" in the formula is also highlighted.
Description and Effects:
Vanité Grace Unique Protein Enzimoteraphy is developed to effectively align the hair fiber, providing a straight and disciplined result, while nourishing and restoring hair health.
Single-Step Realignment and Straightening: The main advantage is the practicality of being a "Single Step." This means that, in most cases, a prior anti-residue shampoo is not required, which speeds up the salon process and minimizes the dryness that some deep cleansing shampoos can cause.
Enzymotherapy Technology: This technology suggests that the product uses enzymes (or active ingredients that mimic enzymatic action) to act on the hair fiber. In straightening products, enzymotherapy usually refers to a gentler approach to hair restructuring, often without the use of formaldehyde or its derivatives, promoting progressive straightening and treating the hair strands.
Protein: The presence of protein is fundamental for hair reconstruction and strengthening. It helps replenish lost hair mass, improves elasticity, reduces breakage, and provides more body and resistance to the hair.
With Ojon Oil: Ojon oil is a nourishing ingredient known for being rich in lipids similar to those naturally found in hair. It contributes to deep hydration, intense shine, softness, and elasticity, in addition to assisting in damage repair and hair protection.
Volume and Frizz Reduction: It promotes effective control of excessive volume and eliminates frizz, leaving hair more aligned, lightweight, and manageable.
Intense Shine and Softness: The treatment seals the hair cuticles, resulting in a mirror-like shine and a silky texture to the touch.
For All Hair Types: Generally, products with this technology are versatile and can be applied to various hair types, from wavy to coily, and also to chemically treated hair (provided a strand test is performed).
Professional Use: This product is intended for exclusive professional use, requiring the knowledge and technique of a qualified hairdresser.
How to Use (Professional Use - Standard Single-Step Protocol):
It is essential to always follow the exact instructions provided by the manufacturer on the product label or in the Vanité technical manual. The general protocol for a single-step hair realignment is:
Hair Preparation:
With dry hair (or slightly damp, depending on the specific brand indication), divide it into quadrants.
Typically, single-step products do not require a prior anti-residue shampoo, but confirm on the packaging.
Product Application:
Wearing gloves and using a brush, apply the Vanité Grace Unique Protein Enzimoteraphy section by section, distributing the product from mid-lengths to ends.
Maintain a distance of 0.5 to 1 cm from the scalp.
Use a fine-tooth comb to ensure even distribution and remove any excess product.
Processing Time:
Let the product act on the hair. The processing time is crucial and varies according to hair type and resistance. Generally, for single-step products, it can be between 40 to 60 minutes, but can extend up to 90 minutes for more resistant hair.
Rinse:
After the processing time, rinse hair completely with water to remove all product. For this type of product, a full rinse is common, as the realignment action has already occurred during the processing time.
Blow Drying and Brushing:
Blow-dry hair 100% completely, aligning the strands with a brush to facilitate the flat ironing process and optimize the straight result.
Flat Ironing (Thermal Sealing):
Divide hair into fine to very fine sections.
Flat iron each section slowly and carefully, multiple times (generally 10 to 20 times, or more, depending on hair resistance and the 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 or more 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.
Pregnant Women and Children: It is recommended not to use on pregnant women, nursing mothers, and children.
