Solutions we work with
This treatment harnesses the power of natural enzymatic and organic components.
The key active ingredients are:
​
Tannic Acid: A plant-derived polyphenol, Tannic Acid is a crucial component that works on a molecular level. It penetrates the hair shaft and, when activated by heat (from a flat iron), it creates new bonds within the hair’s internal structure. This process, known as "Tanninoplasty," restructures the hair fiber, changing its shape from curly to straight without the use of harsh chemicals like formaldehyde or carbocysteine. It also forms a protective film on the hair cuticle, sealing it, reducing porosity, and adding a natural, reflective shine.
​
Enzymes: The treatment includes enzymes that act as catalysts, accelerating the reaction of the Tannic Acid with the hair’s internal structure. These enzymes assist in breaking down and rearranging the protein bonds, allowing for a more effective and durable straightening result. Their presence ensures the restructuring process is gentle yet highly effective, preserving the hair's integrity.
Plant-Based Nutrients & Oils: A rich blend of natural ingredients, including açaí, avocado, and argan oils, along with vitamins and amino acids. These ingredients work synergistically to replenish lost lipids and proteins, deeply moisturizing the hair from root to tip. The oils provide essential fatty acids that coat the hair fiber, sealing the cuticle and preventing moisture loss. This nourishing process is vital as it counteracts any potential drying effects of the straightening process and leaves the hair feeling soft, flexible, and healthy.
Amino Acids & Proteins: These building blocks of hair, such as keratin, are included to repair and strengthen the hair fiber. The treatment replenishes the hair's protein reserves, filling in gaps in the cuticle and cortex, which improves elasticity and reduces breakage.
The overall chemical process is a non-aggressive molecular change. Unlike traditional relaxers that break the disulfide bonds of the hair, this treatment reorganizes the hair's internal structure using Tannic Acid and heat. The chemical process is not permanent and will gradually wash out over time, leaving the hair in its original state but with improved health.

CONTRAINDICATIONS
Previously Relaxed or Straightened Hair: Not recommended for hair that has been previously treated with traditional chemical relaxers (e.g., lye or no-lye products). The combination of different chemical processes can lead to unpredictable results.
Hair that is extremely brittle, over-processed, or has a high porosity from excessive bleaching or chemical damage may not be suitable. A consultation is essential to determine hair health.
Scalp or Skin Conditions: Individuals with scalp abrasions, sores, or specific skin conditions should seek advise or avoid this treatment.
Pregnant or Breastfeeding Clients: Consult a medical professional before receiving the treatment.
PRE TREATMENT
Attend appointment with freshly washed hair, the same day or the day before.
Wash your hair with a shampoo (clarifying if available) 2 times before your appointment to remove any product build-up and prepare the hair for the treatment.
Do not use any conditioners or styling products after the wash and dry.
​
Inform your stylist of any previous chemical treatments or allergies.
AFTER CARE
Do not wash your hair for at least 48 hours after the treatment to allow the new bonds to fully set.
Use sulphate-free and sodium chloride-free shampoos and conditioners to prolong the life of the treatment and protect the results. Suitable recommended sets are available for purchase at the clinic and an introductory set is included with this treatment complimentary. Using different aftercare products may not guarantee quality and longevity of the treatment.
Hair must be thoroughly dried with a hairdryer after every wash, pointing the airflow downwards. Hair should not be air-dried after this treatment.
Use a heat protectant spray before blow-drying or using hot styling tools.
Limit exposure to chlorine or salt water, as it can reduce the longevity of the treatment.
To maintain high quality results, a touch-up maintenance visit is required every 2-3 months, depending on the root length and preference.
