Brazilian straightening on short hair is becoming more and more popular. It has been shown that this technique is not only for curly or frizzy hair that you want to transform into straight hair . Brazilian straightening is actually suitable for all hair types as in these before and after photos of Brazilian straightening.
Smoothing for short hair
Brazilian straightening, like Japanese straightening, is designed for all hair types, all hair fibers and it also applies to short hair. You just have to be more careful with the straightener to avoid burning the scalp, which is more exposed in this case. This technique strengthens the hair and moisturizes it, provided you choose a formaldehyde-free formula. If you apply organic products, your short hair will become smooth and easy to style (always ask your hairdresser if their straightening products are organic!).
Brazilian straightening will be ideal if short hair tends to show frizz, as will a hair treatment. In addition, since the volume of the hair is less important, the treatment can be less expensive, even if you have curly hair.
Brazilian straightening without formaldehyde: to tame unruly hair
Since Brazilian straightening is also done to cleanse the hair and make styling easier, it is important to opt for a formaldehyde-free formula . The dangers of formaldehyde are increasingly well-known. It can be potentially carcinogenic and attack the central nervous system. It is necessary to use a Brazilian straightening like that of Marc Grays, based on components extracted from Brazilian flora.
With this Brazilian straightening kit, no side effects will occur (keratin treatment that facilitates regrowth). Short hair must first be washed with a clarifying shampoo that will remove residue from the latest hair treatments. The solution must then be applied strand by strand, a less time-consuming process when it comes to short hair. The hair straightener must be used with caution. The hair will soon become smooth and shiny.
Once the Brazilian straightening has been applied, you must wait 3 days before touching your hair, the time for the treatment to take effect on the hair. Humidity should, among other things, be avoided during this period. The shampoo used afterwards should be sulfate-free . It is preferable not to wash your hair too often so that the Brazilian straightening has a more lasting effect. The result obtained should last from 4 to 6 months.
Brazilian straightening for men: to enhance your hair
Men with short hair can also benefit from the beneficial effects of Brazilian straightening, even with dry or damaged hair (always do a test on strands). The process is more effective than blow-drying , which has a limited duration and does not provide the same benefits to the hair (straightening with soft points, regardless of the type of hair). It is possible to consult a hairdressing professional (a hair salon) who will be able to apply the treatment strand by strand. Straightening on short hair is always a little more delicate for the scalp, which is less well protected.
As with other hair types, Brazilian keratin straightening will have a long-lasting effect and increase shine as long as the hair is well protected and receives appropriate care (depending on the nature of the hair, use a conditioner to facilitate hydration and keep hair silky).
