Cypress AMAZONIA is a 100% formaldehyde-free Progressive/keratin straightening treatment. It acts directly on the hair’s cortex, specifically on the disulfide bridges that determine hair’s shape and appearance. The treatment works in combination with heat to stretch those bridges without breaking them, guaranteeing natural looking straight hair.

CYPRESS AMAZONIA is composed of a rich blend of healthy acids, Keratin proteins, Silicon Oil and Shea Butter. This combination allows for the perfect realignment of hair strands. .

The main difference is that CYPRESS AMAZONIA does not break the disulfide bridges but helps to mold them thanks to the main ingredients of CYPRESS AMAZONIA combined with the heat of the iron without damaging them. The Japanese Straightening break these bridges to get a smoothing hair and damaging its structure.

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.

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.

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.
