About the Smart Brush
What is it?
The smart brush is made up of several amino acids, keratin e proteins that give strength and shine to the threads during the straightening process. It reduces volume, reduces frizz, those strands that get goosebumps and bother, and even makes the hair more beautiful.
The idea is that the hair does not end up with that mega smooth and flat result, the intention of the intelligent brush is to leave the hair softer and with a natural smooth, with movement and without those split ends, which is wonderful, right?
This treatment leaves the flat strands gradually, different from a progressive brush, which leaves the hair very smooth, but over time, dry and with little shine. The smart brush promises to do this process without damaging the hair fiber so much, which is why the brands use so many substances and vitamins that are good for hair in the composition of the products.
It is worth remembering that each product has its formula for the smart brush and it is not unique, it varies according to the manufacturer. So it's worth researching brushes from different brands to find out which is the best option for your hair.
How it works?
In the salon, this process takes around an hour and a half and this time varies according to the length of the hair. The positive side of this brush is that you can wash your hair after applying the product, you don't need to go without washing your hair for two or three days.
In addition, after making the smart brush, it is recommended to use products that take care of and treat the wires, such as shampoos and conditioners for chemically treated hair.
The first step is to test the product on a lock of your hair, this way it is safer and you are sure that your hair will not be harmed in any way. After the test, the strands are washed with an anti-residue shampoo to remove any dirt and product residue. This step also serves to open the cuticles of the hair and facilitate the absorption.
With the dryer, remove excess water and divide the hair into locks to start applying the product. This cream has in its formula ammonium thioglycolate, which will act in the reduction of the volume.
The hair stays with the cream for about twenty to thirty minutes. After waiting, the hair is brushed and seal up and close the cuticles, the flat iron is passed through each strand.
With cold hair, use a reconstruction mask with keratin to treat the hair. After acting, just wash and finish with a brush, dispensing with the use of a flat iron.
The effect lasts from 2 to 3 months on the wires, wonderful, right?
Who can do it?
Although most brands claim that the smart brush is compatible with any other chemical, the recommendation is that if you have very sensitized hair or that you have used henna on your hair, do not use this type of product, as it could end up leaving your hair more weak.
Pregnant women should avoid this type of product, after all, this period is very sensitive for the mother and the baby, so in order not to run any risk, it is recommended not to undergo this type of treatment.
If you have a lot of allergy problems, be careful. Always do the strand test to find out if the cosmetic product will not bring any reaction to you.
Are There Risks? Do you have Formaldehyde?
This type of brush, when performed in frizzy hair or well curled, it does not leave the hair completely straight. Remembering that it is a temporary solution and lasts an average of two or three months, so it will not leave the hair straight forever.
As each smart brush has a unique formulation and this depends on the manufacturer, it is possible that you will find products with formaldehyde in the composition and others not. So stay tuned and always read the product label before buying.
If you have formaldehyde, make sure you want to use this substance on your hair. Today, we know that formaldehyde is aggressive and creates a kind of make-up on the yarn, making it beautiful on the outside and weakened on the inside of the fiber. So it's worth weighing and checking if it's worth it, okay?
