Ladies (and gentlemen, if you're here too—welcome!), we need to talk about achieving that flawless, frizz-free hair without a trip to the salon. Whether you’re new to hair alignment treatments or a seasoned pro, getting the best results is all about the technique. So grab your heat-resistant gloves (kidding... but also, maybe not?) and let’s dive into the step-by-step process of transforming your hair from wild to wow.
Organic vs. Traditional Hair Treatments: What’s the Difference?
Before we get into the how, let’s talk about the what. Not all straightening treatments are created equal. You’ve got two main categories: Organic and Traditional.
- Organic Treatments (like Torrano, Venice, Ravenna B-Tox Orgânico, and Blond) are designed to smooth and nourish the hair with a gentler formula. They typically wash out during the process but still give you that sleek, polished finish.
- Traditional Treatments (such as Kit Cirurgia Capilar and Ravenna B-Tox Repair) are a little more intense and stay in the hair until heat is applied. This means a longer-lasting, ultra-sleek effect.
Now that you know what you’re working with, let’s get into the step-by-step guide!
How to Properly Apply Your Hair Alignment Treatment
Step 1: Clean Slate, Please! Start by washing your hair with a deep cleansing shampoo (like the Ravenna Deep Cleaning Shampoo) to remove any product buildup, oil, or residue. This is crucial because if your hair isn’t properly prepped, the treatment won’t absorb evenly. Think of it like painting a wall—if the surface isn’t clean, the paint won’t stick! Repeat the wash if needed; your hair should feel slightly rough to the touch.
Step 2: Dry It Up Blow-dry your hair 100% before applying the treatment. Damp hair can dilute the product and affect the final results.
Step 3: Section, Section, Section! Divide your hair into small, manageable sections. Trust me, this will make application so much easier (and way less chaotic).
Step 4: Apply Like a Pro Using a brush (not your hands—this isn’t your typical hair mask!), apply the product evenly from root to tip.
- If it’s your first time using a straightening treatment, apply it all over.
- If you’ve done this before, just focus on the new hair growth (typically after 3 months).
Step 5: Let It Work Its Magic Leave the product on for 30 to 60 minutes (check the instructions for your specific treatment).
Step 6: To Rinse or Not to Rinse? That is the Question.
- Organic Treatments (Torrano, Venice, Ravenna B-Tox Orgânico, Blond): Rinse out the product completely.
- Traditional Treatments (Kit Cirurgia Capilar, Ravenna B-Tox Repair): Do not rinse before moving on to the next step.
Step 7: Blow-Dry Again Grab your round brush and blow-dry your hair as smooth as possible.
Step 8: Section Again (Trust Me, It’s Worth It) Divide your hair once more into fine sections—this is key for the straightening process.
Step 9: The Flat Iron Ritual Here’s where the magic happens.
- Use a flat iron heated between 200°C and 230°C (that’s 392°F to 446°F for my fellow Americans!).
- Adjust the heat based on your hair type:
- Fine, blonde, or damaged hair: 200°C - 210°C (392°F - 410°F)
- Medium to thick hair: 220°C - 230°C (428°F - 446°F)
- Glide the iron 8 to 15 times per section to properly seal the treatment into your hair.
Step 10: The Grand Finale Style as you please and admire the sleek, frizz-free masterpiece you’ve just created.
Pro Tips for a Perfect Finish
✔ Make sure your sections are thin—this ensures even application and better absorption. ✔ Never apply the product with your hands—use a brush for precision and hygiene. ✔ If your straightener isn’t hot enough or you don’t pass it enough times, you won’t get the desired effect. Be thorough! ✔ For long-lasting results, use a sulfate-free shampoo in your wash routine.
