DAMANCI Empowering Keratin Treatment is an extra‑strength professional smoothing and straightening system for stylists who need durable frizz control and sleek alignment across all hair types, including color‑treated hair.
Built around a heat‑activated formaldehyde crosslinker, the treatment resets hair shape while hydrolyzed keratin and proteins reinforce the cuticle for a tighter, smoother lay‑down. Silicones and cationic conditioners enhance slip and detangling to reduce friction during heat passes, while lipids and humectants leave strands feeling soft and supple with a polished, high‑gloss finish. To help maintain the cosmetic look, the formula includes antioxidants and a UV absorber alongside botanical extracts that cushion the hair.
This formaldehyde‑based formula is designed for professional use; follow all directions and safety measures, including no scalp application and careful heat control, to deliver smooth, manageable hair with lasting polish.
Add it to your backbar to offer reliable, long‑wear smoothing your clients can see and feel.
