Brazilian Keratin Treatment & Hair Straightening Tips
SOFTLISS STEP 1: DEEP WASH SHAMPOO
- Using warm water, wash your hair with SoftLiss STEP1 Deep Wash Shampoo and softly massage the hair. This step will allow the hair cuticles to open and will prepare them for phase two, the SoftLiss STEP2 Intelligent Brush. Rinse well and repeat this process 3 to 4 times.
- Use a hair dryer to remove moisture.
- When hair Is 80% dry, begin step two and apply SoftLiss STEP2 Intelligent Brush.
SOFTLISS STEP 2: INTELLIGENT BRUSH
- Brush the hair to your taste and comfort.
- Separate it into thin streaks.
- Using a brush, apply product from streak to streak spreading from the roots. Use a fine comb brush toward the bottom to remove the excess product. You want to avoid saturating the hair fiber, which makes it heavy and dull.
- At the end of the application process, comb hair for 5 minutes and then wait 15
minutes.
* If the hair is EXTREMELY CURLY, it is better to do a quick brushing. Brush or comb from the root to the tip with a hair dryer and a brush with synthetic bristles to aid straightening. You can also use ironing brushes.
* If the hair is NATURALLY WAVY, remove the moisture of the Keratin using a hair dryer and a wide-tooth plastic comb. Gently comb to untangle hiar and activate the product. - Start
the cauterization process with a flat iron (tourmaline,
titanium, or ceramic plated) of which the temperature is 392°F (200°C) for fine hair or 428°F (220°C) for thick or stubborn hair. Depending on the quality and
power of your iron, perform 6 or 7 repetitions until you notice a shiny quality to the hair. Best results depend on a good cauterization process.
* Use a half-inch iron for shorter hair or for hair with tight roots for better results.
** It is recommended that you study techniques for Ironing both vertically and horizontally.
IF YOU WANT STRAIGHT HAIR:
Cauterize the hair using the traditional ironing methods (explained above in Step 5)
(Iron + SoftLiss = Perfect Smoothness)
IF YOU WANT CURLY HAIR:
Use a curling iron to achieve beautiful curls from
the hair root, the middle or the tip.
(Curling Iron + SoftLiss = Perfect Curls)
SOFTLISS STEP 3: NURTURING MASK
- Wait 60 minutes following application and rinse with cold water. DO NOT exceed this time.
- Remove remaining moisture with a towel.
- Apply SoftLiss Nurturing Mask. Massage hair and untangle.
- Allow 15 minutes for the Mask to activate.
- Rinse hair with cold water only.
- Follow with a quick blow-dry and flat iron.

BEFORE and AFTER
How will my new hair growth come out after using SoftLiss?
Your new hair will be healthier, because when you applied the product you utilized a shampoo that opens the hair cuticles and then applied a treatment to reconstruct the base of bio-components and this allowed the benefits of SoftLiss to penetrate to the root. This is one of the advantages to our product, which is what makes it different from all other strengtheners; your hair will be left healthy and hydrated.
How long will the effects of this Brazilian Keratin treatment last?
The effects will last about 3 to 4 months. The straight effect will last in accordance to the number of washes and the types of products used in the maintenance. It is recommended that you use the SoftLiss No-Salt Maintenance Kit. If you wish to repeat the treatment before this time you can do so with no problem.
What will happen to my hair after the 3 months?
After this time has passed you will find that your hair is in a better state than before. Some of the natural waves and features will return, the shine will not be what it once was. This will indicate that it is time for the second application of SoftLiss.
Can I apply SoftLiss Brazilian Keratin the same day that my hair was straightened or dyed?
Yes, you can, though we do not recommend those with sensitive scalp to saturate it with chemical treatments, and thus we recommend that you first dye, streak or highlight and then apply the SoftLiss Keratin Treatment. We also recommend waiting 48 hours after applying color to your hair. Just so that your color does not change. Our treatment will NOT be affected at all whether or not you wait.
After I apply SoftLiss Brazilian Keratin do I have to use any other products?
For the best effect and the longest lasting benefits one should use the SoftLiss Maintenance line of SoftLiss No-Salt Shampoo and Conditioner and the SoftLiss Shine Booster. IMPORTANT: Using shampoos and conditioners that contain sodium chloride will reduce the duration of your Brazilian Keratin super soft straight hair.
