Long-lasting Keratin Hair Straightening Formula
Question
Could you please provide a formula for a Keratin hair treatment similar to those used in salons that can straighten hair and prevent frizz for a long period, such as 3-6 months?
Answer
Keratin Hair Straightening Formula
For a keratin hair straightening treatment similar to those found in salons that can provide long-lasting results, you can consider using KeraStraight™ (Keratin for straightening hair). This ingredient is a combination of Keratin Amino Acids and Carbocysteine designed to gently straighten hair without the harshness of traditional chemical straighteners like Thioglycolate.
It is known for its effectiveness in achieving a high level of straightening and is considered gentle on the hair, even with repeated use.
Here is an example formula and usage steps using KeraStraight™:
Example Formula
- BTAC: 3%
- Cetearyl Alcohol: 6%
- Silicone Hi-Cond: 1%
- Vitamin B5: 1%
- Poly-Conditioner Eco: 1%
- KeraStraight™: 20%
- Mild Preserved Eco: 1%
- Water: remaining amount to 100%
Steps for Use
- Mix BTAC, Cetearyl Alcohol, Silicone Hi-Cond, Vitamin B5, Poly-Conditioner Eco, Mild Preserved Eco, and Water. Warm the mixture to 70-80 degrees Celsius.
- Let the mixture cool down to no more than 40 degrees Celsius.
- Add KeraStraight™ and blend until fully incorporated.
- Before applying, wash and rinse hair thoroughly, ensuring no shampoo residue remains.
- Blow dry hair completely, leaving no moisture.
- Gently spread and apply the formula on the hair from roots to ends.
- Leave on for 15 minutes to allow KeraStraight™ to penetrate the hair.
- Blow dry hair again, combing and straightening it.
- Use a hair straightener at 200-230 degrees Celsius to activate KeraStraight™. Avoid higher temperatures.
- Leave for at least 15 minutes.
- Wash and/or condition your hair again.
This process helps KeraStraight™ to work effectively for straightening hair.
