Strait Styling Glatt 0

Strait Styling Glatt 0

Strait Styling Glatt 0 is a professional-grade chemical hair straightening treatment designed for both unisex use and all hair types, from fine to thick, curly to wavy. Developed by Schwarzkopf Professional, this product delivers a permanent smooth finish while maintaining the integrity of the hair shaft.

Key Features

• Permanent Straightening: The formula penetrates deeply into the cuticle to break down natural bonds and reform them in a straight configuration, providing long-lasting results that can last up to 12 weeks with proper care.
• Low-Temperature Application: Unlike traditional relaxers that require high heat, Glatt 0 is formulated for use at lower temperatures (typically around 120–140 °C), reducing the risk of thermal damage and preserving hair strength.
• Hydrating & Conditioning Agents: Enriched with pyrrolidone carboxylic acid, cocamidopropyl betaine, and panthenol, the treatment moisturizes, softens, and protects the hair during the straightening process.
• Neutralizing Balm: The kit includes a neutralizing balm that restores pH balance after the chemical reaction, ensuring smoothness and preventing scalp irritation.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for all hair textures, including naturally curly or frizzy hair, as well as chemically treated strands that need reconditioning.

Product Composition

The standard kit contains:

• 82 ml of Straightening Cream (Glatt 0) – the main active ingredient that breaks and reforms hair structure.
• 2 × 40 ml Neutralizing Balm – used after the straightening phase to neutralize residual chemicals and lock in moisture.
• Optional 85 ml or 160 ml variants for larger volumes or professional salon use.

The active chemical agents include:

• Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) – provides the alkaline environment necessary for bond breakage.
• Ammonium Thioglycolate – a reducing agent that temporarily breaks disulfide bonds in keratin.
• Hydroxyethylcellulose – contributes to viscosity and film formation on the hair shaft.

Application Procedure

1. Preparation: Wash hair with a mild shampoo, avoiding any conditioners or styling products that may interfere with chemical action. Towel-dry to remove excess moisture.
2. Sectioning: Divide the hair into manageable sections using clips or ties to ensure even coverage.
3. Application of Cream: Apply the Glatt 0 cream evenly from root to tip, ensuring full saturation. Use a wide-tooth comb to distribute the product uniformly.
4. Processing Time: Leave the treatment on for 20–30 minutes (adjust based on hair thickness and desired level of straightness). Monitor the hair’s response; thicker or coarser strands may require slightly longer processing times.
5. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse with lukewarm water until the shampoo residue is completely removed. Avoid using hot water, which can open cuticles prematurely.
6. Neutralization: Apply the neutralizing balm to each section, comb through, and leave for 5–10 minutes. This step restores pH balance and locks in the new hair structure.
7. Final Rinse & Styling: Rinse again with cool water, pat dry, and style as desired. Avoid heat styling tools for at least 48 hours to allow the treatment to set fully.

Aftercare Recommendations

• Use sulfate-free shampoos and deep conditioners formulated for chemically treated hair.
• Avoid excessive washing; a gentle cleanse every other day preserves the straightening effect.
• Apply a lightweight leave-in conditioner or serum to maintain softness and reduce frizz.
• Limit exposure to chlorine, saltwater, and harsh chemicals that can compromise the treatment.

Safety & Precautions

• Perform a patch test 48 hours before full application to rule out allergic reactions.
• Avoid contact with eyes; rinse immediately if accidental exposure occurs.
• Keep the product out of reach of children and pets.
• Follow all manufacturer instructions closely; misuse can lead to scalp irritation or hair damage.
