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

What you will need for your Brazilian straightening treatment:

• Tropical Coconut Powder Shampoo or Forest Tanino Anti-Residue Shampoo (for oily hair)
• Tropical Coconut Brazilian Smoothing Treatment
• Contemporary Finishing Oil
• Tropical Coconut Moisturizing Mask
• Tropical Coconut Shampoo + Conditioner Kit

Steps to achieve your Smoothing Treatment
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 Anti-Residue Shampoo . Wash your hair twice to thoroughly cleanse it.

2. Dry your hair

After washing, remove excess water with a towel. Then dry your hair to about 80% with a hairdryer; it should remain slightly damp.

3. Apply the treatment

Divide your hair into four sections for easier application. Apply the Tropical Coconut Brazilian Smoothing Treatment to the lengths of your hair, avoiding the roots (leave about 1 cm). Apply the product where you want to smooth, without touching the ends to preserve their natural texture.

4. Take care of your ends

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

5. Let it sit

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

6. Rinse with clean water

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

7. Dry and style

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

8. Straighten your hair with a flat iron

Divide your hair into small sections again. Run a flat iron (preferably a titanium model) over each section 10 to 15 times , focusing on the roots and lightly smoothing the ends to maintain natural movement. If you have very porous or color-treated hair, set the flat iron to a maximum of 180°C (350°F) to prevent your hair from turning yellow.

9. Moisturize your hair

Rinse your hair again with clean water, then apply the Tropical Coconut Moisturizing 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 treatment in the long term, it is recommended to regularly use the Tropical Coconut Shampoo + Conditioner Kit . This will allow you to prolong the straightening effect and keep your hair healthy.

Additional tips:

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