TYPES OF HAIR:

The official classification of a hair strand is done through analyzing its structure, which can range from 1 (extremely straight) to 4 (extremely curly).

Within each numerical classification, there exists sub-classifications based on the hair’s texture (fine, medium, or thick), and the intensity and frequency of the curls. These sub-classifications are covered by the letter A, B, and C.

Type 1 STRAIGHT:This hair type presents absolutely no curling, and varies only in texture (fine, medium, or thick).

Type 2 WAVY: This hair type is slightly curled throughout the entire hair strand. However, the root is generally straighter than the end. The hair strands tend to form an “S” shape, without much curl definition.

Type 3 CURLY:Hair categorized as Type 3 is hair that forms multiple spirals, with closed curls that are generally more resistant to straightening treatments.

Type 4 KINKY/AFRO: This type of hair is generally very fine and very fragile.

What are some other important tips to extend the CYPRESS AMAZONIA straightening effect?

It is important to remember that exposure to sun, wind and salt water, as well as use of chemical agents such as bleach and hair dye, can damage the hair’s structure and drastically reduce the duration of the straightening effect. Therefore, to guarantee the straightening effect for the maximum possible amount of time, it is important to avoid such harmful external agents.

How long do I need to wait after the straightening to bleach or dye my hair?

We should wait a minimum of 2-3 weeks after the CYPRESS AMAZONIA treatment. Be advised, however, that the performance of the straightener may be affected. Also, the use of ammonia free coloring helps to minimize any alterations in the straightening result.
In case your hair was already dyed before the straightening process, there is the chance of a change in tone. That is why the temperature of the iron is very important in dyed and bleached hair to avoid this change.

How much time must pass until the application of the CYPRESS AMAZONIA can be repeated?

The procedure can be repeated after 2 weeks. However, it is always important to analyze the hair’s health before applying or reapplying the product. If the hair is healthy, the product may be reapplied. However, if the hair strands are damaged or weakened, it is strongly preferable to first perform a reconstructing treatment.

Does CYPRESS AMAZONIA produce vapors or smoke?

CYPRESS AMAZONIA may produce non-toxic vapor or smoke. This occurs naturally due to the application of heat to the hair.

Can CYPRESS AMAZONIA change my hair color?

As a result of the straightening procedure, there can be a variation in hair color of up to one tone. This change in tone can occur due to the application of a flat iron with a very high temperature. It is important to adjust the temperature of the flat iron in accordance with the instructions:

– Normal hair: 200 °C- 240 °C.
