The definitive brush, also called Japanese brush or capillary plastic, is a hair straightening method that changes the structure of the hair leaving them permanently smooth.
This type of straightening is indicated for those who have curly or wavy hair and want to have the hair definitely smooth without having to resort to the use of the dryer and the plank. This brush lasts on average 3 to 8 months, which is the time that the hair takes to grow, being necessary to retouch only the root. However, it is recommended to perform good hydration once a week to keep the wires soft and shiny longer.
People who make the ultimate brush should not use any other hair chemistry, not even tinting, as this can result in permanent damage to the hair. If they wish to paint, for example, they should let the hair grow and cut the part that has been chemically treated.
Step by step of the final brush
The definitive brush should be made by a trained professional in a beauty salon. The step-by-step for the ultimate brush is:
- Wash the hair with an anti-residue shampoo, to open the cuticles of the wires and facilitate the penetration of the product, and dry them with a towel;
- Apply the product wick by wick and leave to act for 40 minutes or according to the indication of the product;
- Rinse hair with cool or warm water and make a brush;
- After brushing, perform the haircut and model the hair the way the person wants;
- Apply the neutralizing product throughout the hair and let it act for about 20 minutes.
Depending on the product used, it may be necessary to wash the hair again with shampoo and conditioner and finish with a brush followed by a flat iron. This type of straightening has definitive results, only being necessary to perform retouching of the root every 3 to 8 months, depending on the type of hair of the person.
