Lissage Brésilien, Japonais ou Xtenso ?
If you also take the lead (and not literally) to choose what type of smoothing do and what type of hair, this article is for you !
Attention, these products are chemical, they require a test on a strand 48 hours in advance, to prevent any risk d & rsquo; allergy. Do not use if your hair is fragile (colors, highlights…). To read the instructions, or return your hair to a professional.
The Brazilian smoothing :
Est un soin réparateur thermoactif à base de kératine et silicones. It has a softening function, but do not stiffen hair as straightening or smoothing Xtenso. Your curls are relaxed, shiny and easy to style, you put a lot less time to blow dry or spend your straightener. The Brazilian smoothing hard 3 to 4 month and does not change the hair structure. For the & rsquo; it is imperative to maintain & rsquo; use a sulfate-free shampoo. I recommend this smoothing for those who wish not to change the texture of hair, and have a “lissage” not final. The most used Brazilian smoothing are INOAR and GO HAIR Straight.

X-smoothing tense :
After this round the world lofts, I would like to tell you about the X-tense smoothing L'Oreal, because I tested four times (1 annually). The first, second and third time, nothing to say, my hair was unrecognizable ! Smooth, bright and repaired. Fourth (and last) Once, however, does damage, but it was my fault, car j’ai, few months before, is a coloring, when my hair does not really support (it is not advisable to make a dry hair coloring and purposes). L’ajout du lissage X-tenso a donc empiré les choses et précipité le « décès » de mes cheveux. Rest assured, after a few months of good moisturizing hair care and repair, my hair are better and live again. I do not count again smoothing for now, because I want to return to natural. If it comes to the & rsquo; spirit back to smooth, I would do a Brazilian smoothing with keratin.
- « à froid » just to reduce the volume (shampoo + Product Xtenso + drying / smoothing to the plates)
- « à chaud » for a smoother result than smooth (shampoo + + Product Xtenso + smoothing the plates + fixer milk + re-shaping the plates).
For my first Xtenso, I was training model for L'Oreal, it has been done by a professional hairdresser (it was great). The other two times, I bought my products myself on the internet, for a total of about 80 € (lounge'll take a minimum of 300 € delivery), and I l & rsquo; have not done to a pro, the result was always the rendezvous (it's not complicated just have the hand, and to read a manual). The fourth time, that too, performed hairdresser, was the one that damaged my hair (but I repeat that this is because of the color I made earlier, but in no case, Product).
Smoothing kit Jean Louis David “Inspiré du lissage brésilien” (or Japanese)
J & rsquo; d have seen many & rsquo; negative product reviews. The technique is just “issue” Brazilian smoothing, so it n & rsquo; is not a true Brazilian smoothing. It does not contain keratin. Many girls l & rsquo; have tried this were left with damaged hair and brittle. Here are a video d & rsquo; blogger, on which the result n & rsquo; was not catastrophic.
In affordable prices, we still have the classic straightening.
Straightening :
As the name suggests, it straightens hair, has three product indices : sweet, medium and high. And also an indication for children, I advise even adults. I straightened my hair as a teenager, but I will not again. Même si les produits sont maintenant « sans soude » d’autres agents chimiques la remplace. Straightening hair destroys disulfide bonds. Of course your hair will be straight, but not flexible, dry, brittle and require deep care. Limit the frequency of straightening, you will lose your hair irreversibly. Avoid straightening in children, is toxic.
And to a successful single straightening, here is a video of Sweety Domie (it uses the ORS brand).
Update : Depuis la rédaction de cet article, je suis passée au “natural” et j’ai donc décidé de ne plus faire de lissage (chimiques ou au fer). Vous pouvez découvrir des articles sur l’entretien des cheveux naturels here.
