Brazilian Straightening: how to do it according to your hair type for a professional result at home

The Brazilian straightening treatment from Be Natural is one of the most sought-after treatments for those who want smooth, shiny, and frizz-free hair without constantly resorting to the flat iron or hair dryer. Thanks to its formula with keratin, natural oils, and plant extracts, the Keratimask Brazilian Smoothing Kit deeply nourishes the hair while smoothing it, leaving it with a professional finish from the very first application. But did you know that the temperature of the flat iron and the number of passes vary according to your hair type? Applying the treatment correctly is key to achieving a long-lasting result. In this post, we tell you how to perform the Brazilian smoothing step by step according to your hair type — whether fine, thick, or chemically treated — so you can enjoy silky, shiny, and perfectly straight hair. 1. Normal and fine hair: softness and lightness with controlled temperature If your hair is fine or of normal thickness, you need a balance between smoothing and protection. The key is to use a moderate temperature to avoid overheating the hair fiber. After applying the treatment, dry your hair completely with a hair dryer (you can use a round brush to smooth while drying). Once the hair is dry, divide it into small sections and iron at 200ºC, passing the iron 15 to 20 times for each strand. This will allow the keratin and natural actives in the product to penetrate deeply, sealing the cuticle without weakening the hair. The result will be hair with movement, frizz-free, and with a natural shine that lasts for weeks. 2. Normal thick hair: intense and long-lasting smoothing Thick or abundant hair requires a higher temperature to ensure that the treatment sets properly. In this case, the recommendation is to iron at 230ºC, passing the iron 15 to 20 times for each section. Being a more resistant fiber, this temperature helps activate the keratin in the product and seal the hair cuticle more deeply, ensuring an intense, shiny, and frizz-free smoothing. The Keratimask Kit from Be Natural is formulated with ingredients that protect the hair during this process, such as hyaluronic acid, which provides nourishment and elasticity. 3. Dyed, damaged, or chemically treated hair: care and repair with gentle heat If your hair has been dyed, bleached, or damaged, the approach should be much gentler to avoid compromising its appearance. In this case, iron your hair at 200ºC from the root to the middle and at 180ºC on the ends, applying the iron 10 to 15 times at the root and 5 to 10 times on the ends. This technique allows sealing the treatment without overexposing the most fragile areas of the hair. This treatment not only transforms the appearance of the hair but also repairs from the inside thanks to its high concentration of keratin and natural proteins, restoring vitality and elasticity to each strand. The secret to a successful Brazilian smoothing lies in adopting the technique that works best according to your hair type. Regardless, the Keratinmask Brazilian Smoothing Kit from Be Natural offers professional results from home, combining the power of keratin with the softness of natural ingredients. With proper application, you will achieve smoother, shinier, and more manageable hair without losing its natural essence.
