What is a keratin treatment?

A keratin treatment uses keratin protein to temporarily restore and rejuvenate the hair, creating a smoother, stronger and healthier

appearance.

What is Keratin?

Noun

A fibrous protein forming the main structural constituent of hair, feathers, hoofs, claws, horns, etc.

ker·a·tin  

/ˈkerətin/

Keratin is a biological protein that composes the majority of our hair, skin and nails. Dead keratin cells make up the top layer of hair; protecting new cells as they grow beneath the surface. Maintaining the health of the dead cells is crucial, but this becomes difficult due to daily stressors that agitate the hair follicle.

Keratin is the building block of hair

Keratin

How does the LASIO Keratin Treatment work?

The LASIO Keratin Treatments work by coating &

infusing

the hair strands in keratin; replacing the broken

protein bonds and strengthening the hair by adding

an additional layer of keratin. Our treatments

soften and smooth the hair strands, removing

100% of frizz and transforming damaged hair into

manageable, shiny locks.

Hydrolyzed Human Hair Keratin

An exact match for the keratin your hair has (or has lost due to chemical processing). This is the

highest quality and most potent keratin protein that can be used in hair products.

Hydrolyzed Human Hair Keratin Protein – Cretein HKP is produced by hydrolyzing human hair down to a molecular weight of approximately 150-2000.

It is a mixture of Amino Acids that are highly moisture-binding and will take the dull appearance away. Because this process is essentially putting hair back into hair, you will see benefits such as

body, bounce and shine.

Safety 1st

In 2007, LASIO took its services and commitment to safety a step further. LASIO created a Safety 1st program to provide in-depth knowledge and safety awareness to all LASIO clients. The Safety 1st program not only educates our clients on proper product use, but also implements precautionary measures under federal guidelines. Our Safety 1st program gives stylists the confidence they need when dealing with federal officials, skeptical clients, and media speculations. Our Safety 1st Program consists of: LASIO Education Class-Lasio is committed to educating stylists on proper product usage Ventilation Consultation- Proper ventilation is highly recommended when performing any type of chemical service. Lasio provides consultations on the best ventilation and air purifier systems for salons.  Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and Lab Reports-All of our clients are supplied MSDS forms and lab reports for Lasio products. Our products are tested every 3 months to ensure safety and efficiency. The LASIO Seal-Upon meeting all of the necessary safety requirements, salons are rewarded the Lasio Seal and Certification. The LASIO Seal is a badge alerting consumers that they are attending a certified Lasio Salon.  

Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)

The owner or operator of any facility which is required to prepare or have available a material safety data sheet for a hazardous chemical under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 [29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.] and regulations promulgated under that Act shall submit a material safety data sheet for each such chemical, or a list of such chemicals as described in paragraph (2), to each of the following: (A) The appropriate local emergency planning committee. (B) The State emergency response commission. (C) The fire department with jurisdiction over the facility. It is intended to provide workers and emergency personnel with procedures for handling or working with that substance in a safe manner, and includes information such as physical data (melting point, flash point, boiling point, etc.), toxicity, health effects, first aid, reactivity, storage, disposal, protective equipment, and spill-handling procedures. MSDS formats can vary from source to source within a country depending on national requirements.MSDSs are a widely done system for cataloging information on chemicals, chemical compounds, and chemical mixtures. MSDS information may include instructions for the safe use and potential hazards associated with a particular material or product. These data sheets can be found anywhere where chemicals are being used.

An MSDS for a substance is not primarily intended for use by the general consumer, focusing instead on the hazards of working with the material in an occupational setting.

FDA & OSHA

FDA - The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It consists of the Office of the Commissioner and four directorates overseeing the core functions of the agency: Medical Products and Tobacco, Foods and Veterinary Medicine, Global Regulatory Operations and Policy, and Operations. FDA is responsible for Protecting the public health by assuring that foods (except for meat from livestock, poultry and some egg products

which are regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture) are safe, wholesome, sanitary and properly labeled; ensuring that human and veterinary drugs, and vaccines and other biological products and medical devices intended for human use are safe and effective

Protecting the public from electronic product radiation Assuring cosmetics and dietary supplements are safe and properly labeled Regulating tobacco products Advancing the public health by helping to speed product innovations FDA's responsibilities extend to the 50 United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands,

American Samoa, and other U.S. territories and possessions

OSHA - With the Occupational Safety & Health Act of 1970, Congress created the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)* to assure safe and healthful working conditions for working men and women by setting and enforcing standards and by providing training, outreach, education and assistance. Under the OSH Act, employers are responsible for providing a safe and healthful workplace. OSHA's mission is to assure safe and healthful workplaces by setting and enforcing standards, and by providing training, outreach, education and assistance. Employers must comply with all applicable OSHA standards. Employers must also comply with the General Duty Clause of the OSH Act, which requires employers to keep their workplace free of serious recognized hazards.

What is Formaldehyde?

A colorless pungent gas, CH2O, in solution made by oxidizing methanol.

form·al·de·hyde  /fôrˈmaldəˌhīd/

Noun

In addition to being used in things like glues, preservatives, antiseptics, resins, paints, film processing, and embalming, formaldehyde is also abundant in the atmosphere. It is one of the many byproducts of combustion, and it is also formed through atmospheric reactions, making it a major component of smog. As a result, it can be a challenge to avoid.Formaldehyde is permitted at low levels when used as a preservative in cosmetics. In liquid form, formaldehyde is referred to as methylene glycol or formalin. The terms 'formaldehyde' and 'methylene glycol' are often used interchangeably in toxicity studies pertaining to formaldehyde.

Formaldehyde Allowances?

0.2% Formaldehyde

OSHA – OSHA allows products to contain up to 0.1% formaldehyde

Important! Important! Important!

It is CRUCIAL that you use a 100% Ceramic Plated Flat iron with LASIO

Keratin Treatments. Our formula is water based and titanium

or tourmaline flat irons can singe the hair – especially over processed and porous hair. Don’t test it. Here is an image of someone who had her hair

destroyed at the hands of a stylist who insisted on using titanium…

The Do’s & Don’ts of Keratin Treatments

Do’sDo wash your hair in 24 hours (One Day or Tropic)

Do cleanse your hair with the LASIO HYPERSILK system.

Do protect your hair from humidity and salt (sweat, saltwater)

Do blow dry or flat iron your hair after any exposure to moisture/ humidity while the hair is processing. *demonstrate for client

Do use the HYPERSILK Revitalizing Mask as a leave-in protectant when your hair will be exposed to salt (sweat/saltwater)

The Do’s & Don’ts of Keratin Treatments

Dont’sDon’t leave treatment in your hair longer than 24 hours

(One Day or Tropic)

Don’t restrain your hair with anything that could leave a mark. This includes pins, barrets, hats, headbands, ect.

Don’t apply any styling products while treatment is processing.

Don’t expose your hair to ANY moisture/ humidity while the hair is processing.

Don’t go swimming in a pool or the ocean without applying a protective mask first.

SODIUM CHLORIDEAKA: SALT

Sodium Chloride is the kryptonite of keratin treatments.

Exposure to this natural substance can take out a keratin

treatment very rapidly. How are we exposed to sodium chloride?

A better question is: How are we NOT? Sodium Chloride is in our

sweat, the ocean, well water softeners & most shampoos. Even

the most expensive & high end shampoos have it – and so do

the organic ones you find in Whole Foods. Unfortunately you

must avoid exposure to sodium if you want to maintain the

results of your keratin treatment. If your client is going on

vacation to the beach, recommend having the service done upon

their return. If you do it prior to their vacation they will come

home in a very bad mood. Even the air at the beach is full of

salt. Its impossible to avoid exposure.

Sodium Chloride cont…

If your client is a gym rat then they too must take special

precautions

to ensure the full duration of the treatment. Even if they tell you

they don’t sweat, THEY SWEAT. If they wear their hair up, then it

is likely that only their roots are exposed to the sweat. In this

case recommend that they use a leave in conditioner or dry

shampoo to protect their hair. For those clients who live or

vacation in an area that uses well water – the softening system

uses sodium chloride tablets. Even taking a shower can ruin their

treatment. Fortunately, there are non sodium softeners so let

your client know all hope is not lost. In addition to all of these

things, we recommend using the HYPERSILK Aftercare System to

maintain the treatment for its full duration. Please STRESS the

importance of aftercare with your client.

CONSULTATION

A proper consultation is an absolute MUST to ensure the client is a acceptable candidate to

receive a keratin treatment. Without performing an in-depth and thorough consultation you are

withholding critical information from your client as well as risking having to perform re-dos and

losing clients due to a lack of communication. Ultimately the responsibility is yours to educate your client on his/her treatment and to find out if

keratin is indeed the best option.

Let’s see if you can answer some consultation questions!!

A proper consultation should include the following questions:

What are you hoping to achieve with a keratin treatment? Are you aware of the home maintenance required to

preserve the treatment? What is your lifestyle like? Do you regularly attend the

gym, go swimming or visit the beach? Do you use well water at home? It is very humid during the summer months. Are you

willing to avoid going outside for the next 24 hours of processing?

Certain shampoos and conditioners contain harsh chemicals that will destroy the treatment. Are you willing to use the proper Hypersilk shampoo and conditioner to maintain the treatment?

This treatment is temporary. Are you aware that to maintain the results you must have another treatment in 4-6 months?
