How to care for your hair after a formaldehyde-free Brazilian straightening treatment?

Comment entretenir vos cheveux après un lissage brésilien sans formol ?

Here are some tips for caring for your hair after a formaldehyde-free Brazilian straightening treatment:

  1. Wait before washing your hair: Wait at least 72 hours after the treatment before washing your hair to allow the solution to fully set. Note that some Brazilian straightening treatments can be rinsed out immediately, but it is safer to wait 72 hours to ensure the treatment sets properly.
  2. Use sulfate-free products: Choose sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners, as sulfates can remove the smoothing solution more quickly. On our website enissaticosmetics.com, you'll find high-quality, sulfate-free Brazilian smoothing treatment ranges.
  1. Avoid chlorine and seawater: Try as much as possible not to let your hair down in the sea or pool, as chlorine and salt water can wash away the treatment more quickly.
    Tip : When swimming in the sea or pool, dampen your hair, apply a heat protectant, and then a nourishing/hydrating mask to the lengths. This will create a protective barrier between the water and your hair.
  2. Use suitable hair care products: Opt for hair products specifically designed to maintain Brazilian straightening treatments, which hydrate, nourish and prolong the duration of the Brazilian straightening treatment.
  3. Protect your hair from heat and sun: UV rays can damage hair. Use heat protectants before each use of heated styling tools and in sunny weather.
  4. Perform touch-ups: If you wish to maintain the perfection of the smoothing, consider a touch-up of the treatment after a few months.
  5. Dry your hair with a hairdryer : all Brazilian straightening treatments are heat-activated, so it is imperative not to air-dry your hair, otherwise you will not see the results of your Brazilian straightening treatment.

By following these tips, you can enjoy smooth, healthy-looking hair for an extended period after a formaldehyde-free Brazilian straightening treatment.
