A Clarifying Shampoo Prepares Your Hair for a Keratin Blowout
A good clarifying shampoo is as vital to a really good result as the Keratin straightening product itself, and we recommend washing your hair twice, with one of these pre-treatment shampoos before application, for the very best results.
(They also improve results in other treatments like colouring and perms)
BioExtratus Clarifying Shampoo
Quite simply as good as it gets. BioExtratus are Brazil’s leading producer of organic and natural hair products. Our best selling Clarifying Shampoo by far, we’ve been using the entire BioExtratus QueraVit range ourselves since 2007.
The shampoo itself is loaded with extracts of pomegranate, for intense cleaning and Vitamin B5, which also makes BioExtratus QueraVit pre-treatment shampoo ideal for use before any type of straightening or colouring, not just a Keratin Blowout.
(Bottle Sizes – 250ml / 1Litre)
KeraMax Pre Treatment Clarifying Shampoo
A favourite of Brazilian salons and professional stylists, the KeraMax Professional System is one of the most efficient and cost effective Clarifying Shampoos around, combining Keratin and Creatin (another essential Amino acid) to provide strength and elasticity to your hair, with the healing and recuperative powers of Royal Jelly.
• Most effective on hair that’s excessively dry, weak or damaged, adding strength and resiliency.
Works well with any kind of treatment, not just Keratin straightening, but also bleaching, relaxing and colouring.
(Bottle Size – 250ml)
Tutanat Sleek – Clarifying Shampoo and Nourisher
Sleek shampoo is part of the new Tutanat range of Brazilian straightening products, which use Cysteine and other amino acids as well as Keratin, for a more natural finish.
What’s great about Tutanat Clarifying Shampoo is that it works as both a before and after product, perfect for use in the weeks following a Keratin treatment, as well as beforehand.
Tutanat are very much at the cutting edge of Brazilian hair technology, and their new Escova Progressiva system looks like re-setting standards in hair straightening. As an all-in-one we have to say this shampoo works very well at rehydrating dry and tired hair.
• Designed specifically to work with Tutanat’s Escova Progressiva hair straightening system.
(Bottle size – 300ml)
Sfera Professional – Anti Residual Shampoo
Another of our professional quality clarifying shampoos, perfect for all treatments, not just Keratin straightening. Sfera is a leading Brazilian manufacturer, specialising in products for professional stylists.
Their pre-treatment shampoo is only available in a 1 litre bottle – 15-20 applications – which may be too much for users of at-home Keratin straightening treatments, but it’s perfect for independent professionals and salons offering these services.
(Bottle Size – 1 Litre)
In short, washing with Clarifying Shampoos, ahead of a Keratin Blowout will make it work better and last longer.
• How to Apply Clarifying shampoos
Intended for use immediately before a Keratin treatment like Zene Progress, Clarifying Shampoos are applied just like any other shampoo, and left for 5 to 7 minutes before rinsing thoroughly with warm water.
Pre-Keratin treatment Clarifying Shampoos have been developed to work specifically with the Keratin straightening system. They function in two ways, cleaning and stripping your hair of residual products and making it more receptive to Keratin, which greatly enhances the finish you can expect from the treatment.
Here in Brazil, they’re known as anti-residual or Clarifying Shampoos, and they’re an important part of preparing for your Keratin straightening treatment, helping in two ways.
First, the shampoo’s clarifying action works to thoroughly clean your hair, washing away any lingering product residues and pollutants, which could reduce or even block the results of a Keratin Blowout.
Then, because they contain a nourishing dose of amino acids, they also help your hair absorb more of the straighetning solution when it’s applied.
• It’s now widely accepted that for the very best results, Clarifying Shampoos are essential and they’re commonplace in salons offering the Keratin Blowout.
