The Ybera Discovery Express Set 3 Steps is a progressive hair straightening kit formulated with innovative technology based on stem cells from a rare species of Swiss apple, the Uttwiler Spätlauber. This apple is known for its high regenerative power, which is reflected in the product's ability to revitalize hair strands.
The kit typically consists of:
Cleanse & Care Shampoo (Step 1): A deep cleansing shampoo that prepares the hair to receive the treatment by opening the hair cuticles.
Apple Stem Cell Enhancing Mask (Step 2 - Gloss Reducer): This is the main active component of the treatment. Its formula acts on the hydrogen bonds of the hair, promoting cuticle alignment without damaging the internal structure of the hair shaft. It is a formaldehyde-free, paraben-free, and glutaral-free product.
Heat Protection Finishing Spray (Step 3): A heat-activated spray that seals the cuticles, protects the hair from heat from blow dryers and flat irons, and intensifies shine and softness.
Effects
The main effects of the Ybera Discovery Express Set 3 Steps are:
Long-lasting and Natural Straightening: Provides a straight and disciplined effect with natural movement. Straightening can last for several months, with reports of up to 6 to 8 months, depending on hair type and post-treatment care.
Frizz and Volume Reduction: Eliminates frizz and significantly reduces volume, leaving hair more aligned and controlled.
Intense Shine and Softness: Leaves hair extremely shiny, with a silky touch and healthy appearance.
Hair Hydration and Rejuvenation: The Uttwiler Spätlauber apple stem cells contribute to the regeneration of the hair fiber, restoring hair DNA and combating premature aging of the strands.
Thermal and UV Protection: The finishing spray offers protection against heat from thermal tools and UV filters, protecting hair color and health.
Compatibility with Chemicals: Being formaldehyde-free, it is compatible with other chemical treatments, such as coloring, highlights, and relaxers.
Safe Application: The natural, formaldehyde-free formula makes the product safe to use, without strong odors or smoke that cause discomfort during application. It is even indicated for pregnant women, children, and people with sensitivities, although a strand test is always recommended.
How to Use (General)
It is crucial to follow the manufacturer's instructions and, preferably, have the application performed by a professional hairdresser. The basic steps are:
Wash Hair (Cleanse & Care Shampoo - Step 1):
Wash hair 2 to 3 times with the Cleanse & Care Shampoo, gently massaging to create plenty of foam.
Rinse hair completely. On the last wash, ensure the cuticles are well opened.
Remove excess water with a towel and dry hair approximately 70% to 80% with a blow dryer.
Apply the Gloss Reducer (Enhancing Mask - Step 2):
Divide hair into thin sections.
Apply the Gloss Reducer section by section, using a brush and a fine-tooth comb to distribute the product evenly, from roots to ends. It is important to maintain a distance of 0.5 to 1 cm from the scalp.
Processing Time: Let the product act. The time may vary depending on hair type:
30 minutes: For fine, bleached, or chemically treated hair.
40 minutes: For colored or chemically treated hair (in good condition).
60 minutes: For more resistant, curly, coily, or virgin hair.
For very curly or resistant hair, a thermal cap can be used during the processing time.
Rinse and Dry:
After the processing time, rinse hair completely with water only, removing all product. This is crucial, especially for blonde, bleached, or fine hair, to avoid any color alteration or overload.
Dry hair 100% with a blow dryer.
Finishing (Finishing Spray - Step 3 and Flat Ironing):
With dry hair, apply the Finishing Spray throughout the hair.
Divide into thin sections again and proceed to flat ironing. Flat iron each section slowly 8 to 12 times, or until complete sealing of the cuticles and intense shine are achieved.
The flat iron temperature is crucial: use between 200°C and 230°C (390°F - 450°F) for resistant hair, and lower temperatures for blonde, fine, or damaged hair.
After the process, there is no need to rinse again.
Important:
Always perform a strand test and a sensitivity test (on the skin) before applying the product to the entire hair, to check for compatibility and prevent allergic reactions.
The frequency of use is generally 30 days for root touch-ups or as needed.
Use the Ybera Discovery Express maintenance line to prolong the effect of the treatment.
