Product Description

Schwarzkopf Glatt Strait No.2 is a professional-grade hair straightening system formulated for chemically treated, porous, or color-damaged hair. Designed with advanced straightening agents and conditioning complexes, this cream delivers permanently smooth, shiny, and manageable results. No.2 strength is specifically calibrated to be gentle on hair that has been dyed or weakened by prior chemical treatments, offering long-lasting straightening without compromising hair health. Achieve natural-looking, sleek hair with salon-level results in the comfort of your home or through professional application.

Key Features and Benefits

• Permanent Hair Straightening: Smooths curls and waves into sleek, straight locks that last until new growth.

• Gentle on Color-Treated Hair: No.2 strength is designed for porous, chemically processed hair.

• Anti-Frizz Control: Effectively reduces frizz and flyaways for a polished, controlled finish.

• Shine and Smoothness: Leaves hair noticeably shinier, softer, and easier to manage.

• Advanced Care Complex: Infused with Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein and other conditioning agents to protect and nourish during the straightening process.

• Professional Results: Trusted by salons worldwide, yet safe for cautious at-home use when following instructions carefully.

Key Ingredients

• Ammonium Thioglycolate: The primary active ingredient that breaks and restructures hair bonds for permanent straightening.

• Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein: Enhances smoothness, adds moisture, and strengthens weakened hair fibers.

• Keratin-Based Care Complex: Supports hair’s internal structure for a healthier, glossier finish.

How to Use

Preparation:

• Shampoo the hair with a clarifying, non-conditioning shampoo and towel-dry completely.

• Assess hair condition and confirm suitability for No.2 strength (for colored/porous hair).

• Apply protective treatment to porous areas if necessary.

Application:

• Divide hair into four equal sections.

• Wearing gloves, apply the straightening cream evenly from root to tip, avoiding direct scalp contact (1 cm from roots).

• Comb through to ensure even distribution.

• Cover hair with a plastic cap and allow the cream to process for 10–20 minutes.

• Perform an elasticity test to determine readiness.

• Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water for 5–8 minutes until water runs clear.

Neutralization:

• Re-section the hair and apply neutralizer evenly.

• Comb hair straight and leave on for 10 minutes.

• Rinse thoroughly again and towel-dry gently.

Finishing:

• Apply a deep-conditioning treatment such as BC Repair Rescue.

• Rinse after 5–10 minutes.

• Blow-dry or flat iron hair carefully for final styling.
