LEMON OR BLUBERRY PROTEINS TREATMENT
Very important before starting the treatment is to perform a wet hair test, which will allow us to assess whether the condition of the hair allows us to perform the straightening treatment.If the wet hair crimps under stretching, then we should not proceed with the straightening treatment. In this case, Coconut Botox or Anannas Botox will work wonderfully.
Step I
CLEANSING SHAMPOO
- Wash your hair with the cleansing shampoo included in the kit. Spread the shampoo evenly on damp hair, gently massage until a thick lather forms. Rinse thoroughly. If necessary, repeat the process. Shake the shampoo vigorously before use. Wash hair 1-2 times until you feel the hair has opened up. If the hair is very dirty or greasy, do the first wash with a regular shampoo. Golden shampoo does not foam – this is a normal phenomenon.
- After rinsing the hair, drain it in a towel and dry it at 90%.
Step II
LEMON ORGANIC PROTEINS LUB BLUEBERRY PROTEINS
- The protein bottle should be shaken very thoroughly. Protein liquid especially in the case of Lemon Protein stratifies and heavier ingredients sink to the bottom, so mixing the product is very important for the product to work properly.
- Lemon and berry proteins, despite the difference in consistency, can be mixed together for one treatment in any proportion. (Mixing is especially recommended for blondes).
- Apply the protein product 1 – 2 cm from the root, to the entire length of the hair. Try to distribute the product thoroughly with your hands, massaging into the hair while avoiding the formation of foam.
- If you are dealing with more severely damaged, sensitized ends just before applying the product, wet them with a spray more heavily than the rest of the hair.
- Leave the product on blonde, bleached and fine hair for 30 minutes, with normal and medium hair for 40 minutes, and for very thick and afro hair for 50 to 60 minutes.
- At the end of the application time, gently rinse excess product from the hair with cool or slightly warm water only on the temple line by dragging the water source in one swift motion from ear to ear, then pull off the excess with your hands and a paper towel
- We dry our hair 100% without using a brush. Never proceed to straighten damp hair.
- During drying and when pressing, the hair can be quite heavy – this is a normal phenomenon that disappears after the first wash.
- After drying the hair, separate into very thin strands and very slowly and carefully press the product until shiny. Min 10 – max 20 times.
- It is necessary to use a titanium straightener the wider the plates the more efficient the work. Adjust the temperature and number of strokes with the straightener according to the type and condition of the hair: If the hair curls a lot from the root, you can make 10 quick strokes 1 to 10 cm from the root.
- Bleached hair, thin, fine, highly porous, highly sensitized, frizzy or lightly wavy hair: 150-170 degrees, about 12-14 pulls, product held 30 minutes.
- Bleached, coarse, wavy or curly hair 180 degrees, about 14-16 pulls, keep product 35-40 minutes
- Medium-porous, medium-prone, frizzy, wavy or curly hair: 16-18 strokes 180-190 degrees (colored 18-20 strokes 190-210 degrees (virgin), product held 40-50 minutes
- Thick, strong curls, frizzy, virgin hair: up to 230 degrees, product held 50-60 minutes
- The first washing of the hair after 48 hours should be done very carefully. (We recommend making an appointment for the first wash at the Salon). The hair should also be thoroughly rinsed of the shampoo and conditioner applied. If they are not thoroughly rinsed by the next wash they may be stiff.
- In situations where the hair does not have a strong curl and we are sure that the protein product has been properly pressed in, it is possible to wash the hair immediately after the treatment. Wait 15 minutes after straightening is completed and perform a wash with Belleco Hydrant Shampoo, then apply Belleco Hydrant Mask, leave on for about 5 minutes, rinse and blow dry with a hair dryer. When done correctly, the hair should be straight without modeling. Washing immediately after the treatment is recommended, especially with Berry-Blue Protein, to prevent light hair from becoming too pigmented.
- If you decide to wash your hair 48h after the treatment, it is very important not to extend this time and not to expose the hair to products for more than 48 hours.
- Home care after the treatment is important. With proper care, the longevity of the treatment reaches up to 6 months. Using shampoos and conditioners with inappropriate aggressive composition, or using purifying or purple shampoos significantly shortens and nullifies the effect of the treatment.
- The client should be warned that the substances introduced into the hair are thermo active and their action is activated by heat. Therefore, it is important that after the treatment the hair is dried with a warm air dryer.
- To prolong the effect of the treatment it is worth once in 2-3 weeks. Use nourishing protein ampoules Belleco. coloring is performed
- We always perform coloring 5-7 days after the protein treatment.
- Bleaching largely destroys the beneficial effect of the treatment, so we recommend doing bleaching first and a protein treatment about 2 weeks after bleaching.
