Achieve Silky Straightened Hair With 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.

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 grew out of that involves four steps with a combination of Keratin solution and heat application. Each is designed to add to the sleek bone straight look that results after the process is completed. A kit is provided along with instructions to help users to apply the techniques.

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 the treatment has been allowed enough time to penetrate the hair, and this usually takes between ten to fifteen minutes, it is time for the third step. This step includes the application of heat using a blow dryer. A round brush or a paddle brush is used to assist the process.

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.

Those who wish to use this regimen should note that it is a temporary one. This means that the treated hair will eventually revert to its former state unless the treatment is repeated periodically. Also exposure to the chlorine in pool water and the salt in sea water may undo the process. This is why it is important to avoid sitting and letting sea or pool water dry on your treated hair.
