We recommend you wait at least 2 days before getting your hair wet. During this time, the protective film created on your hair is not yet completely stable and washing it too early could reduce the duration of the treatment. Your hair will already be clean at the end of the Protein Straightening Treatment, so there will be no need to wash it immediately.
It is essential you use the maintenance shampoo Protein Maintaining Shampoo Lenis, a gentle salt- and sulphate-free detergent formulated to protect the film created by the treatment. After shampooing, we recommend you apply Protein Maintaining Mask which enriches the outer film and extends the effects of the treatment.
There are no contraindications, but it is better to wait at least 2 days before making a tight ponytail.
If, instead, you want to gather it up loosely, you can easily do so as early as the first day.
Yes, you can use these products without any problem.
Yes. Nonetheless, remember that the alkalizing action of the Protein Preparing Shampoo and use of the tongs necessary for the treatment may alter the cosmetic color. This is why we recommend first doing the treatment and then dying the hair 7 days later.
Yes, but bear in mind that bleaching may attack the protective film created by Lenis, cutting its duration short. This is why it is preferable to do any bleaching treatments before this treatment.
Yes, the treatment can be carried out on all hair types. However, if your hair is particularly sensitized or damaged by chemical treatments, it is important to examine it to assess its resistance. Whereas the treatment itself is not aggressive, use of high-temperature tongs might stress very damaged hair. In these cases, we recommend performing one or more keratin reconstructions before proceeding.
It is necessary to wait at least a month after chemical treatments that alter the hair structure before performing the Lenis treatment.
Yes, the treatment is also perfect for natural hair. In this case, your hair will not sustain any lightening.
The treatment usually lasts 3 to 4 months. Its duration also depends on the use of recommended maintenance products. External factors such as exposure to chlorine (swimming pool) or salt (sea) may reduce treatment duration.
Yes, you can easily have a wavy styling. Your hair will be straight again after the next wash.
The treatment is usually carried out on all the hair since it gradually fades. However, it can be applied on only specific areas, such as bangs, if particularly necessary.
If your hair isn’t shiny and silky, the tongs were probably not hot enough during the treatment. A dull or frizzy appearance indicates that the active ingredients of the treatment were not properly activated. To avoid these problems, it is essential that you check the temperature of the tongs before going ahead.
The Lenis treatment can lighten your hair by about 1/2 or 1 shade. If you note excessive lightening while straightening, the tongs temperature is probably too high. We recommend that you reduce the temperature (never under 180-200°C since the treatment does not activate under this threshold).
Yes, but a thorough preliminary examination is necessary to assess the strength of your hair. Using the tongs at a high temperature as the treatment requires may prove demanding for particularly fragile hair.
No. You have to use tongs with manual temperature adjustment (between 180°C and 240°C). Steam tongs or tongs with automatic temperature adjustment are not suitable.
