The “New” Keratin Complex by Peter Coppola in Boca Raton
The Keratin Complex formula offers the same silky result as the Brazilian but has the high percentage of keratin which is infused into the cuticle. “It’s all about the natural keratin,” says Coppola. “We are able to achieve these results without the formaldehyde in the Brazilian product. This is clearly safer and we get amazing results.”
This is the way it works: the hair is shampooed with a dedicated product. Once dry, the complex is applied to the hair and pressed into small sections using an iron that is 450 degrees. After processing, the client cannot shampoo her hair for 3 days. The effects last three to five months and “wear out” leaving no line of demarcation. It can be used on color treated hair and works on all textures.
The hair truly looked healthy, rejuvenated and conditioned. It seems to be a real bonus to the salon as well. The whole kit and kaboodle costs $350 for 12 services. Peter recommends charging about $350 per application, but we already heard of one salon charging $700.
For those of you who have had the Brazilian Staightening might want to consider this one for your next treatment.
Hopefully, we won’t find out in a couple of years that there is an unsafe product in here as well. We’ll cross our fingers!!!
