A pleasing appearance does much for an individual's self esteem. This is why so many people desire to change their appearance using fashionable clothing as well as different hairstyles. One of the ways to change the look of your hair is to straighten it if it has waves or curls. The Brazilian Keratin treatment helps people to achieve the look that they want by converting straight hair to curly hair.
The origin of this hair straightening method is indicated clearly in its name. The creator of the styling method drew her inspiration from the methods of hair straightening she saw in Brazil. The Brazilian methods included gradual application of heat using a blow dryer which resulted in the temporary removal of the curls.
The system that grew from this inspiration has four steps. Each steps plays a role in ensuring that the resulting hair is beautifully sleek and straight. The instructions and resources needed to apply the techniques of the system are found in a commercially sold kit.
The first step involves a cleansing of the hair. To do this you need a clarifying shampoo. The shampoo should be left on the hair for at least two minutes before being rinsed off. A conditioner should not be applied to the hair. To remove the excess moisture from the hair, a dry towel should be used.
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 the treatment has been given sufficient time to penetrate the hair strands, it is time for the use of the blow dryer. It usually takes ten to fifteen minutes for the penetration to occur. The blow dryer should then be used along with a paddle brush or a round brush to straighten the hair while the blow dryer's heat is being applied.
The last step in the system is the sealing step. This is where the treatment is locked into the hair strands. In this stage a flat iron is used to apply heat to the sectioned hair. To do this, section the hair beginning at the back of your head and gradually work your way to the front. Make sure to go over each strand multiple times. The kit should tell you how many times is needed. Keep treated hair away from water for 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.
