How to perform a Brazilian straightening treatment at home with the Tropical Coconut range?

Brazilian Straightening is ideal for those looking to achieve straightened hair while maintaining a slight movement and natural look. Here's how to apply this method step-by-step using products from Lana Brasiles' Tropical Coconut range.

What you'll need for your Brazilian Straightening:

• Tropical Coconut Powder Shampoo or Forest Tanino Deep Clean Shampoo (for oily hair)
• Tropical Coconut Brazilian Straightening
• Contemporaine Inceller Finishing Oil
• Tropical Coconut Hydrating Mask
• Tropical Coconut Shampoo + Conditioner Kit

Steps to perform your straightening at home:

1. Wash your hair thoroughly

Start by washing your hair with a suitable shampoo. If your hair is dry, use Tropical Coconut Powder Shampoo. If you have oily roots, opt for Forest Tanino Deep Clean Shampoo. Wash twice to thoroughly cleanse your hair.

2. Dry your hair

After washing, remove excess water with a towel. Then, blow-dry your hair to about 80%, leaving it slightly damp.

3. Apply the treatment

Divide your hair into four sections to facilitate application. Apply the Tropical Coconut Brazilian Straightening along the length of your hair, avoiding the roots (leave about 1 cm). Apply the product where you want to straighten, without touching the ends to maintain their natural look.

4. Care for your ends

If your ends are dry or damaged, apply Contemporaine Inceller Finishing Oil to nourish and protect them.

5. Let it sit

Leave the product on for 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the degree of straightening you wish to achieve.

6. Rinse with clear water

After the processing time, rinse your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water, without using shampoo. Make sure to remove all product.

7. Dry and style

Dry your hair with a round brush to straighten it. Use a mixed-bristle brush and a hairdryer to straighten the roots and shape the ends, which will give them shine.

8. Straighten your hair with a flat iron

Divide your hair again into small sections. Pass the flat iron (preferably a titanium model) over each strand 10 to 15 times, focusing on the roots and gently straightening the ends to maintain their natural movement. If your hair is very porous or color-treated, set the iron temperature to a maximum of 180°C to prevent your hair from yellowing.

9. Hydrate your hair

Rinse your hair again with clear water, then apply the Tropical Coconut Hydrating Mask. Leave it on for 5 minutes before rinsing thoroughly. This mask will provide intense hydration to your hair.

10. Maintenance

To maintain the results of your straightening long-term, it is recommended to regularly use the Tropical Coconut Shampoo + Conditioner Kit. This will help prolong the straightening effect and keep your hair healthy.

Additional tips:

• Protect your hair from heat styling tools by applying a heat protectant before using a hairdryer or flat iron.
• If your hair is very damaged, limit the use of a flat iron on the ends to avoid further weakening them.
• For optimal results, repeat this treatment every three to four months depending on your hair type.
