So you are thinking that you want a change from your usual relaxer, but wondering how on earth you comb or brush your unmanageable hair. And what are you to do with your new growths? The answer for you may just be a smoothing keratin treatment.
Why consider this option? For starters, the treatment is only needed to be applied once every 9 weeks. In addition, you can simply style your hair as a natural afro, blow it out and flat iron for a sleek look, or curl as in a normal relaxed hair. And most noteworthy, you do not need to cut off the relaxed portions of your hair as you transition to this new wonderful look.
Benefits for the hair
Keratin detangles hair easily, reduces frizz, strengthens hair, and promotes hair growth. In addition, you have versatile styling options, from afro to flat and sleek to wavy with a hot iron.
Why Keratin treatment?
Keratin is a protein formed by the combination of 18 amino acids. It protects epithelial cells from damage or stress, and consequently is the essential component of hair.
We have formulated a special 4-step kit to help you accomplish this goal with Shinkafa’s Keratin Relaxer. As a result of the uniqueness of our formulation, you can use our kit at home and it is free of any harmful chemicals. Our four-part system contains active ingredients that expand and smoothen your curly or frizzy hair while promoting the growth, strength and health of your hair hair. Through our innovations and keratin-based technologies, we’ve created this unique hair expanding treatment that strengthens the hair structure, while eliminating frizz as curls are expanded.
Keratin Hair Relaxer FAQs
Is the 4 Step Kit actually a relaxer?
This is not your usual relaxer, it is a smoothing process, in the sense that it will expand your curls by about 30%. It is more like the Brazilian blowout, keratin treatment, and protein treatments. However, our process doesn’t involve the use of a formaldehyde solution. Instead it uses our innovative keratin-based technology to strengthen the hair structure and eliminate frizz as curls are expanded. A typical relaxer works by breaking the disulfide bonds in hair, similar to the permanent waving process. The Shinkafa Kit works by expanding or loosening the curls of the hair by about 30%, while maintaining the integrity of the disulfide bonds. And best of all, the kit can be used by all races, by people with all hair types.
How long does it take?
The process should take about 45 minutes at home.
Does it hurt the scalp like the relaxer?
No, there is no burning or hurting of the scalp.
Do you have to use it monthly like a relaxer?
No, we recommend once every eight to nine weeks for kinky hair, and once every three months for wavy or just frizzy hair.
Does it make my hair straight?
That depends on the texture of your hair. This kit is designed to only expand your curls by about 30%. As a result you have versatile styling options. For bone straight hair, simply use a flat iron or a curling iron to achieve that result after applying the kit. For naturally wavy hair or frizzy hair you may not need to do anything more once you use the treatment. Just shampoo, condition and dry. And for very tightly curled hair who just want an afro look, after using the kit, just use a wide-tooth blow dryer to dry the hair (using the leave-in conditioner and hair polish) for that look.
Do I need to use petroleum jelly to protect my scalp?
No.
What is the ultimate goal of the kit?
Healthy hair growth, versatile styling, strong hair, and do no harm.
Who needs this kit?
Those with unmanageable hair, tangled curly hair, frizzy hair and those that desire smooth look to their natural hair style.
