What is Brazilian Straightening?
Brazilian straightening is a smoothing treatment based on hydrolyzed keratin that rebuilds the hair fiber while disciplining it. Unlike chemical relaxers, it does not break disulfide bonds: it coats the hair and reduces volume by up to 90%.
For which hair types?
Suitable for curly, frizzy, coily, colored, or sensitized hair. Customizable results: extreme smooth effect or softened curls depending on the processing time.
