The progressive brush without formaldehyde aims to smooth the hair, reduce frizz and leave the wires more silky and shiny without the need to use products with formaldehyde, since in addition to posing a great risk to health, its use was prohibited by ANVISA. This type of brush, in addition to improving the appearance of hair, is able to stimulate the production of collagen, leaving the yarn healthier.
This type of progressive brush usually lasts for 3 months and may vary depending on the type of hair and amount of washes per week. In addition, by not using formaldehyde, generally after the first application of the product the hair does not become totally smooth, it should be done again, and should not be used on afro hair.
Due to the absence of formaldehyde, this type of brush does not cause any side effects such as burning, scaling of the scalp, allergic reactions or burning eyes. However, it is not recommended that pregnant women or infants perform this type of procedure, unless they have the authorization of their obstetrician.
How is it done?
The progressive brush without formaldehyde should preferably be performed in a salon and with a specialized professional. So, this type of brush is made as follows:
- Wash hair with deep cleansing shampoo;
- Dry the hair and apply the product wick to wick, until all the hair is covered with the product, letting it act between 15 and 30 minutes depending on the type of hair and product used;
- Next, the hair should be rolled over the hair at a temperature below 210 ° C, wick to wick;
- After the hair, wash the hair with warm water and apply a cream suitable for the procedure, let it act for about 2 minutes and then rinse with warm water;
- Finally, you should dry your hair with a low-temperature, non-brushing hair dryer.
It is worth mentioning that the process of application and removal of the product vary according to the brand, being the most commonly used Maria scandalous, ExoHair, Ykas and BlueMax, for example.
Although the products indicate the absence of formaldehyde, it is important to pay attention to the component substances, since some of them when subjected to higher temperatures may have the same effect as formaldehyde. Thus, it is important to pay attention to the product label before being subjected to the procedure.
How long lasts
The progressive brush without formaldehyde lasts on average 2 to 3 months depending on how often the person washes their hair per week and what kind of care he has. The less care you take with your hair, the less time will last for this brush. But if a person takes care of using good hair products and hydrates weekly, the progressive brush without formaldehyde can last much longer.
It is important that after the progressive brushing without formaldehyde, hydrations are made regularly, at least once a week, to ensure the brightness, softness and structure of the wires. Also, it is important to avoid using deep cleansing shampoos as well as masks that have the same purpose as they can decrease the durability of the brush.
