The process of performing the technique may vary somewhat depending on the kit used by the professional, but generally includes the following steps:
- Hair wash: with appropriate anti-waste shampoo, in order to open the cuticles of the wires. This step serves to ensure that the hair is ready to receive and absorb the product from the sealing;
- Application of keratin: after washing the use of a sealant cream or a conditioner combined with ampoules of keratin is indicated;
- Use of heat: finally, the thermal step is performed, which includes the making of brush and passage of plaques in the wires. The plaque should be made into very thin strands and each strand should be smoothed 5 to 6 times.
Depending on the brand used, after washing it may be recommended to wash the hair in order to remove the excess of used product or it may be indicated that the product remains in the wires for a few days.
