The Wennoz Vanillaplastia Set 2x1 Liter is a high-tech hair treatment system from Wennoz Brasil primarily designed for hair alignment and progressive straightening. It also offers significant regenerative and anti-aging properties due to its unique blend of ingredients. This "2x1 Liter" typically refers to a duo kit containing a preparatory shampoo and the main active disciplining lotion.
Effects and Hair Types
This product aims to provide:
Hair Alignment and Straightening: The core function is to discipline the hair, resulting in smoother, straighter strands with reduced volume and frizz. It falls under the category of keratin treatments or "hair plastic surgery" products.
Regenerative and Anti-Aging: Formulated with powerful antioxidants, it helps to regenerate hair fibers and combat free radicals, which contribute to hair aging and damage.
Deep Cleansing and Reconstruction: It provides a thorough cleanse while simultaneously aiding in hair reconstruction without causing harm.
Hydration and Purification: The product moisturizes and purifies the scalp, contributing to overall hair health.
Anti-Frizz: Effectively eliminates frizz, making hair significantly more manageable and sleek.
Enhanced Shine and Softness: Users can expect a noticeable increase in hair's natural shine and a remarkably soft texture.
The Wennoz Vanillaplastia Set is suitable for all hair types, including color-treated, damaged, and dry hair. Its focus on treatment and anti-aging properties makes it a versatile option for various hair concerns.
Key Ingredients
The efficacy of Wennoz Vanillaplastia stems from its active ingredients:
Vanilla Essence: Contributes to the regenerative properties and a pleasant scent.
Aloe Vera Extract: Renowned for its hydrating, soothing, and purifying benefits for both scalp and hair.
Green Tea Extract: Provides strong antioxidant properties, crucial for combating free radicals and preventing premature hair aging.
Keratin: A vital protein for hair structure, essential for smoothing, strengthening, and restoration.
Calcium Hydroxide: While listed in some descriptions, it's typically an active ingredient in very strong chemical straighteners. However, in "progressive" treatments, it's often part of a complex system that achieves straightening without permanent chemical alteration, relying more on the heat of the flat iron to realign disulfide bonds. This ingredient often implies a product designed for significant, long-lasting smoothing.
How to Use
The typical application process for the Wennoz Vanillaplastia Set (a two-step system) is as follows:
Step 1: Preparatory Shampoo:
Wash hair thoroughly with the Vanillaplastia Disciplining Preparatory Shampoo. This shampoo is designed to deeply cleanse the hair, remove residues, and open the cuticles for optimal absorption of the active product.
Massage gently and rinse well. You might repeat this step if your hair is very oily or has a lot of product buildup.
Step 2: Disciplining Lotion (Active Product):
After shampooing, dry your hair 100% with a blow dryer. Ensure no moisture remains.
Divide the hair into several thin sections.
Using a brush, apply the Vanillaplastia Disciplining Lotion evenly, strand by strand, from root to tip. Maintain a distance of about 1 cm (approximately 0.4 inches) from the scalp to avoid direct contact with the skin.
Use a fine-tooth comb to ensure even distribution and to perfectly align the strands.
Allow the product to act for approximately 20 to 30 minutes. The exact time might vary based on hair type and desired result; always refer to the specific instructions on the product packaging.
After the processing time, dry the hair 100% again with a blow dryer. There's no need to brush at this stage, just dry.
Flat Ironing: Starting from the nape of the neck, take very thin sections of hair. Use a flat iron at an appropriate temperature (typically between 180°C to 230°C / 350°F to 450°F, adjusting for hair type – lower for damaged/fragile hair, higher for resistant hair). Pass the flat iron over each thin section multiple times (typically 7-15 times) to seal the cuticles and activate the straightening effect.
Cooling and Rinsing: Let the hair cool down completely. Then, rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until all product residue is removed. Do not use shampoo at this stage.
Finalization: Remove excess water with a towel. Some kits might include a final mask to apply for 5-10 minutes for added conditioning. Rinse again and style as desired (e.g., blow-dry and style).
Important Considerations:
Professional Application: While available for purchase by consumers, progressive straightening treatments are often best applied by a trained professional. This ensures proper technique, correct product saturation, and appropriate flat iron temperature for your specific hair type, minimizing damage and maximizing results.
Patch Test: Always perform a patch test on a small area of skin and a strand test on a hidden section of hair before full application to check for any allergic reactions or undesired results (like color change).
Ventilation: Ensure you are in a well-ventilated area during application due to potential fumes.
Maintenance: To prolong the straightening effect, use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners, and avoid excessive heat styling without heat protection.
