Q. How does the Strengthening Therapy System work?
A. Design Essentials® Strengthening Therapy System utilizes the Thermal Reconditioning Process to elongate, straighten, strengthen and transform hair into a stronger, healthier, more manageable state that lasts up to 12 weeks.
- The hair is infused with micro-fine amino acids (Cystine Amino-Acids) that penetrate deep into the hair shaft into the cortex of the hair.
- The micro-fine amino acids completely fills the hair shaft to reinforce and strengthen the hair.
- When heat is applied the restructuring/stretching process begins causing the molecules to align and the hair to gently elongate. The bonds of the hair are not broken, just stretched.
- The cuticle layer is then sealed during the flat ironing process resulting in hair that is stronger, stretched and can be worn straight or curly, and silkier to the touch.
