A pleasing appearance does much for an individual's self esteem. This is why so many people desire to change their appearance using fashionable clothing as well as different hairstyles. One of the ways to change the look of your hair is to straighten it if it has waves or curls. The Brazilian Keratin treatment helps people to achieve the look that they want by converting straight hair to curly hair.

The origin of the system is reflected in its very name. The system's creator drew her inspiration from curl straightening methods that she observed in Brazil. Those methods included an intense system of blow drying the hair to remove curls temporarily.

The system that grew from this inspiration has four steps. Each steps plays a role in ensuring that the resulting hair is beautifully sleek and straight. The instructions and resources needed to apply the techniques of the system are found in a commercially sold kit.

To initiate the process the users must cleanse the hair. They should do this using a clarifying shampoo. The shampoo should be used to create a lather in the hair and should be left in for about two minutes before being rinsed off. Conditioning your hair after shampooing should be avoided though. Your hair should be dried using a towel to remove the excess moisture.

The second step involves the application of the keratin solution. Gloves must be worn during this step of the treatment. Before application, the container with the solution should be shaken vigorously. Small portions of the solution should be placed in a bowl and a tint brush should be sued to apply the solution to the hair starting at a half of an inch away from the root.

After application, the solution should be allowed ten to fifteen minutes to penetrate all the strands of hair. Then it is time for the blow dryer to be used to apply heat. As the blow dryer's heat is being applied to your hair, a round or paddle brush should, be used to guide the straightening process.

The final step is known as the sealing step as it is during this step that the treatment is sealed onto the hair strands. It is very important during this stage to use the heat level that suits your hair type. The flat iron is used to straighten the strands of hair starting at the nape and repeating the process several times for each section. Once this is finished, treated hair must be kept away from water for at about two days.

It is important to note that this treatment is designed specifically for hair that has been treated by chemicals before. It is these types of hair that will have the best or most impressive results. Additionally, since the treatment is temporary the hair will gradually revert to its former curly state. Also exposure to water during activities such as swimming might reverse the process especially, if after swimming in sea or pool water, you sit and allow the chlorine or salt to dry into your hair.
