The cream should be left to act for 20 minutes, then rinse the hair well and then comb it, leaving the hair to dry naturally.
Hydration is an excellent way to straighten hair without chemicals. See great options for each type of hair at: Hydration for hair.
How to straighten your hair at home
To straighten your hair at home, one option is to make a brush and then iron the 'flat iron'. To do this, you must wash your hair well first with shampoo and conditioner suitable for the type of hair and then rinse the hair thoroughly, removing the hair product completely.
After washing, you must apply a leave-in, which is a cream to comb without rinsing, to protect the hair and dry the hair, strand by strand with the dryer, stretching the strands well. At the end of the brush, a jet of cold air should be applied to the hair to have a better result. To finish, iron the flat iron.
How to straighten hair with flat iron
To straighten your hair with a flat iron, you need to be careful because the flat iron can make your hair straight smooth quickly, but due to the high temperature, it can damage it. So, you should take a little hair each time and iron the flat iron, but never use more than 5 times on the same strand to avoid burning the hair strands. Another care that must be taken is to dry the hair very well before ironing the flat iron.
After ironing the flat iron, a good tip is to apply a length repairer and ends of the hair. The flat iron should only be used twice a week and after use, products should be applied to protect and help hydrate the hair strands.

Progressive amino acid or chocolate brush: The brush does not contain formaldehyde, but has a substitute called glutaraldehyde that promises to straighten hair and keep it straight for longer. 2. Moroccan brush: Contains keratin, collagen and only 0.2% formaldehyde, which is the amount allowed by Anvisa. 3. Lifting hair: It has no formaldehyde, lasts an average of 40 washes and after that needs to be touched up. For retouching the product can be used on all hair, being ideal for those who have a lot of volume and dry hair. The lifting hair can be used on all types of hair, including those who already have chemically treated hair, with old straightening and dyes. One of the most respected products on the market is TOMAGRA's UOM Nano Repair. It can be purchased on the internet or at professional cosmetics stores.
