A Brasil Cacau smoothing treatment costs a few hundred dollars in the chair and lasts up to six months, or six weeks, and the difference is almost entirely what you wash it with. The Anti Frizz Shampoo and Conditioner are the aftercare pair Cadiveu makes for treated hair. Here is what they do, how to use them and what else belongs in the routine.
What the Anti Frizz pair is
Brasil Cacau Anti Frizz Shampoo cleanses gently with keratin, cacao and panthenol, and leaves frizz-prone hair smoother and easier to manage. The Anti Frizz Conditioner smooths and softens with the same three ingredients for a glossy, manageable finish. They are formulated for dry, damaged, unruly and keratin-treated hair, which is why every NanoPLASTIA and ECO Keratin client walks out of the salon with them, or should.
Both come in 1L for the basin and for people who have done the maths on the 300ml, and as a 300ml pack that is cheaper than buying the two singles.
Why aftercare decides how long the treatment lasts
A smoothing treatment sits on and in the cuticle. Harsh cleansers strip it out early; salt water and chlorine do the same. The Anti Frizz shampoo is built to clean without lifting the treatment, and the conditioner keeps the cuticle sealed so the smooth finish holds. Swap in a clarifying or anti-dandruff shampoo in the first weeks and you will watch the frizz come back.
The full aftercare routine
- Wash: Anti Frizz Shampoo, lukewarm water, twice if the hair is oily. Rinse well.
- Condition: Anti Frizz Conditioner from mid-lengths to ends, two to three minutes, rinse.
- Weekly mask: the Hydrating Hair Complex, a rich mask that leaves treatment-stressed hair feeling hydrated and softer.
- Before drying: the Gradual Smooth Serum, a leave-in with Memory Effect technology that gets progressively sleeker with each blow-dry.
- Avoid: clarifying shampoos, salt water and chlorine for the first few weeks, and tying hair tightly in the first days after the service.
If the hair is brittle as well as frizzy
Coloured, bleached or heat-damaged hair that has also been smoothed does better on the Extreme Repair Shampoo and Conditioner, which use cacao nutrients and cationic peptides to leave dry, brittle or chemically stressed hair softer and more manageable. Alternate them with the Anti Frizz pair rather than replacing it.
