Beautifully Sleek Hair With The Brazilian Keratin Treatment

By Joanna Walsh


Diversity in hairstyles is something that all modern fashionable ladies and men desire. Some people achieve the look they desire by making changes to their hair. One of the ways to change appearance of hair is by straightening curly locks. The Brazilian Keratin treatment facilitates this variety by allowing hair to transition from curly to straight.

As the name indicates, this hair straightening technique has its origins in Brazil. The founder of the system, was inspired by hair changing methods that she saw in Brazil. This Brazilian method basically included the use of a blow dryer to gradually straighten curls and waves in women's hair.

The system that evolved from the inspirational root comprises four main steps which may be described as clarifying, solution application and heat application. Each of these four steps plays a significant role in ensuring that the hair is sleek and straight at the end of the process. The kit that is sold by the manufacturers includes the items needed as well as the instructions to allow users to apply the techniques accurately.

The initiating step in the process is a cleansing action. A clarifying shampoo should be used to wash the hair. The shampoo should be worked into the hair and left on it for about two minutes. After the shampoo is rinsed away a conditioner should not be used. The excess moisture in the hair should then be removed using a dry towel.

The second step is the actual application of the Keratin solution. In this step, with gloved hands, the applier shakes the container with the solution vigorously and then pours a small portion into a bowl. From this bowl the solution is removed using a special brush and is applied to the entire length of the hair beginning at a half of an inch from the scalp to prevent irritation.

After application, the solution should be allowed ten to fifteen minutes to penetrate all the strands of hair. Then it is time for the blow dryer to be used to apply heat. As the blow dryer's heat is being applied to your hair, a round or paddle brush should, be used to guide the straightening process.

The final step is known as the sealing step as it is during this step that the treatment is sealed onto the hair strands. It is very important during this stage to use the heat level that suits your hair type. The flat iron is used to straighten the strands of hair starting at the nape and repeating the process several times for each section. Once this is finished, treated hair must be kept away from water for at about two days.

It is important to note that this treatment is designed specifically for hair that has been treated by chemicals before. It is these types of hair that will have the best or most impressive results. Additionally, since the treatment is temporary the hair will gradually revert to its former curly state. Also exposure to water during activities such as swimming might reverse the process especially, if after swimming in sea or pool water, you sit and allow the chlorine or salt to dry into your hair.
