We are happy to answer other questions you may have and offer a free consultation which you can book with us on 9939 5060.

 

 

1. Why is Cysteine Complex the best choice? A: It offers a natural way to restore and transform hair. Often times stylists use too much of those harsh chemical treatments which results in harmful smoke and fumes that can disrupt the atmosphere of any salon and cause harm to clients. Cysteine Complex uses all-natural ingredients, so absolutely no harm comes from performing a service. Only 20 to 50 grams of Cysteine Complex per head is needed to achieve amazing straight results. Because so little product is needed, oversaturation that causes humidity to evaporate off of the hair can easily be avoided.

 

2. Is Cysteine Complex a Keratin Treatment or a Relaxer? A: Cysteine Complex is a non-formaldehyde Keratin Treatment that reduces 70% curl volume on Caucasian hair and 50-60% curl volume on ethnic hair.

 

3. Can Cysteine Complex be used on any hair type, regardless of its level of porosity? A: In situations where hair’s health is in question, a client consultation is especially important. Cysteine Complex will not damage hair, but the heat applied when bonding the product to that hair can. This is where stylist’s discretion comes into play. If hair is fine, weak, bleached, or damaged, we recommend a 120°C - 150°C heat setting. For normal to coarse hair, we recommend a 180°C - 210°C heat setting.

 

4. Can the Cysteine Complex be placed over relaxers? A: Yes, the Cysteine can be applied over any relaxer. When applying Cysteine Complex over any other Keratin Treatment make sure that it has been at least 2 months from the application of previous treatment.

 

5. Should Cysteine Complex be applied before or after a colour service? A: We recommend that Cysteine Complex be done after a colour service. Because colour opens the hair’s cuticle, we recommend replacing the use of Pure Deep Cleansing Shampoo with MuruMuru Anti-Frizz Keratin Shampoo.

 

6. Can I go swimming in a pool or the ocean with Cysteine Complex on their hair? A: For the first two days, we recommend letting the hair settle. When you go in the sun and water we recommend using KerAçaí to protect the hair from the sun’s harmful rays and to prevent Cysteine Complex from fading.

 

7. Can Cysteine Complex be used on pregnant women? A: Though we have not experienced any problems, we recommend you consult with your doctor if you are pregnant.

 

8. How long will Cysteine Complex last in the hair? A: Aftercare and maintenance is essential to the life of the treatment. MuruMuru Anti-Frizz Keratin Shampoo and Conditioner along with KerAçaí will help extend the life of Cysteine Complex and protect. Cysteine Complex lasts an average of 3-6 months.

 

9. Why should I use the MuruMuru shampoo and conditioner over other sulfate free shampoos and conditioners? A: The MuruMuru Shampoo and condition are specifically formulated to work in conjunction with the Cysteine complex. These products are infused with pure keratin. Every time you shampoo your hair with the MuruMuru system, you are depositing a fine layer of Keratin on the hair, thus prolonging the life of the treatment.

 

10. What styling products can I use to blow dry my hair once I have the treatment? A: We recommend using the KerAçaí as a base product before applying any other styling product on the hair. The KerAçaí creates a moisture barrier between alcohol based products such as mousse or gel and protects the hair from thermal styling. Also, anytime you use KerAçaí it deposits a fine layer of keratin to the hair, protecting and nourishing each hair strand and prolonging the life of your Cysteine Treatment.

 

11. What hair types is Cysteine Complex best for?

A: Cysteine Complex is ideal for all hair types in need of a healthy frizz-free transformation!

 

 12. How long should you wait between Cysteine Complex Treatments?

A: We recommend 2 months between Treatments.
