Sleek Straight Hair With The Brazilian Keratin Treatment

By Joanna Walsh


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 the system is reflected in its very name. The system's creator drew her inspiration from curl straightening methods that she observed in Brazil. Those methods included an intense system of blow drying the hair to remove curls temporarily.

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.

To initiate the process the users must cleanse the hair. They should do this using a clarifying shampoo. The shampoo should be used to create a lather in the hair and should be left in for about two minutes before being rinsed off. Conditioning your hair after shampooing should be avoided though. Your hair should be dried using a towel to remove the excess moisture.

After your hair has been cleansed it is time for the keratin solution to be applied. This is done by first shaking the container vigorously and pouring a small portion into a bowl for easy access. A special brush is then used to coat thinly sectioned hair with the solution starting at a half of an inch away from the scalp.

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 fourth step in the process is the step that seals in the treatment. This is where a flat iron is used. The kit will provide you with specific directions outlining the level of heat that your hair requires. Denser, coarser hair will, of course require higher heat levels than thin hair. Starting at the back of your head, you should make thin sections in your hair and use the flat iron multiple times along each section. As with the heat level, the kit will also tell you how many times to pass the flat iron along each section. After the sealing step is complete water should not come in contact with the treated hair for about two days.

Despite the magnificent results though, Brazilian Keratin treated hair should be viewed as temporarily straightened hair. This means understanding that treated hair will gradually return to a wavy or curly state. This reverting process is heightened by moisture and chemicals such chlorine and the salt in sea water. Treated hair should therefore be rinsed with plain water soon after it has been immersed in pool or sea water.
