______________

What is tannin hair straightening or tanninoplasty?

Tannin is a substance of plant origin found in plants and trees, particularly in bark. It is, in a way, the means of defense that plants have to protect themselves from external attacks, such as microbes. The tannin used for straightening comes from the maceration of grape skins, oak, etc. Tannin straightening is therefore natural, and will give hair the effect of a good treatment, for about 3 months.

Differences with other types of straightening

Unlike classic Brazilian straightening which may contain formaldehyde, or Japanese straightening which permanently alters the shape of the hair, tannin straightening acts as a deep thermal treatment. It makes hair smooth, shiny, and strong, without altering its natural structure. It is therefore perfectly suited for more natural hair routines.

Who is tannin straightening for?

The advantage of this straightening is that it is suitable for all hair types, whether natural, colored, or even highlighted. Since it is primarily a very good treatment, having highlighted hair is not a problem. This straightening will also relax the hair. The longer you leave it on, the more relaxed the hair will be.
The straightening effect lasts between 8 and 12 weeks when using suitable products, namely a sulfate-free shampoo, as well as a suitable treatment for straightened hair.

The principle of this tannin straightening is very simple:

Step n°1, shampoo with the pre-treatment shampoo, do 2 washes and leave the 2nd one on for a few minutes then rinse.
Step n°2, dry hair 100% and apply the straightening cream to the hair starting from the nape of the neck, without touching the scalp (0.5 cm away from it) and making fine sections. Leave on for 40 to 50 minutes. Rinse and dry. Finally, straighten strand by strand with a flat iron, 8 to 12 times per strand.
Step n°3, apply the post-straightening shampoo, do 2 washes and leave the 2nd one on for a few minutes.
Step n°4, which is the post-straightening mask, to be applied to damp hair and left on for 5 to 10 minutes.

How to maintain it?

Like Brazilian straightening, tannin straightening requires maintenance that should not be neglected, otherwise the effect will last much less time.
Therefore, we recommend that you use a sulfate-free shampoo when washing your hair. You can also, in addition, apply a treatment designed for straightened hair after shampooing.
For example, you can opt for the tannin straightening shampoo from the Beautélive brand.

Expected results and their duration

The result is visible from the end of the treatment: hair is smoother, shinier, softer, and easier to style. The hold lasts from 8 to 12 weeks, or even longer, depending on your maintenance routine and hair type. The more suitable the care, the longer the straightening effect lasts.

Precautions and maintenance tips

After straightening, adopt a gentle routine:

Only use sulfate-free shampoos.
Regularly apply a nourishing mask to strengthen the hair fiber.
Avoid washing your hair with water that is too hot.
Avoid harsh products or prolonged sea bathing.

Good maintenance is the key to long-lasting results and healthy hair.
