KERATIN MONTELLA

How to use Montella Keratin

  1. Pre-treatment wash (alkaline shampoo): Wash the hair thoroughly twice using Shampoo No. 1 (pre-keratin). Processing time: During the second wash, allow the lather to sit on the hair for 5 minutes to ensure the hair cuticles are fully opened. Rinsing: Rinse the hair completely to remove all residue (do not use any hair masks or conditioners at this stage).
  2. Initial drying: Dry the hair using a blow dryer. For enzymatic keratin treatments, the hair should be 80% to 100% dry (a very slight amount of residual moisture aids in product absorption).
  3. Sectioning and product application: Divide the hair into 4 or 6 sections. Starting from the back, take very thin strands. Apply the product to the hair shaft, leaving a 1 cm gap from the roots. Use a fine-toothed comb to remove excess product so the hair is not oversaturated.
  4. Processing time: Cover the hair with a processing cap or plastic wrap. Allow the product to remain on the hair for 45 to 60 minutes (depending on hair thickness and resilience) to alter the hair structure.
  5. Critical Step: Lightening (Removing Excess Product). Important Note: Never flat-iron enzymatic keratin directly, as this will burn the hair. Take the hair to the wash station and—using only a water spray or a light rinse—remove approximately 20–30% of the product (the hair should feel neither completely slippery nor saturated with product).
  6. Complete Drying and Blow-Drying. Dry the treated hair 100% using a gentle airflow. Perform a professional, surface-level blow-dry to ensure the hair strands are completely straight and separated, making the subsequent flat-ironing process easier.
  7. Professional Flat Ironing: Separate the hair into very thin sections. Iron Temperature: Set to 230°C for natural, thick hair, and lower the temperature for more delicate hair. Number of Passes: Press and carefully flat-iron each section 15 to 25 times until the hair feels completely lightweight and glossy—free of product heaviness—and no more steam rises from it.
  8. 8. Cooling and Mask Treatment (Final Step) – Cooling: After flat ironing, wait 15 to 20 minutes to allow the hair temperature to drop completely and the new bonds to set. Final Rinse: Rinse the hair thoroughly with lukewarm water only (no shampoo) to remove any product residue.
  9. Setting with Hair Mask (Mask No. 3): Massage a generous amount of the setting mask (sulfate-free) into the hair strands.
  10. Processing Time: Leave the mask on the hair for 10 to 15 minutes to fully balance the hair’s pH and seal the cuticles.
  11. Finishing: Rinse the hair and finally blow-dry it completely, directing the airflow from top to bottom.
