Yes, it is recommended to have any color or highlights done before a Nov’Max Keratin treatment, this is due to color being applied after the treatment may strip out some of the Nov’Max Keratin and weaken the results.
No, Nov’Max products do not damage the hair, if damage is caused this is only due to the over exposure of heat from the straightening irons. To prevent damage on fine or fragile areas (i.e. bright highlights, damaged ends) we recommend to only go over those areas no more than 2-3 times with the straightening irons. With the stronger areas of hair, repeat as required 7-10 times with the straightening irons.
Yes they can, but we would recommend to do the Nov’Max Keratin Mini Blow-Dry process, which can be done every 5 or so weeks, it is quicker to apply with very similar results but not as long lasting. Please see our Nov’Max Mini Blow-dry treatment guide on our website under How to instructions.
No aftercare products are recommended so just advise your clients to carry on using the products they love using at home.
Ultimately, it's up to you and how comfortable you feel but we would say that 8 years and up are suitable to have a Nov’Max Keratin treatment. You will need the parents permission under the age of 16 and the child needs to be able to sit nicely for two hours. Good ventilation is as always very important and for their comfort provide a towel to protect their eyes and nose.
No, this is considered a vegan product.
Minimal amount and approved for us in the US. For background, in the United States and in the European Union, legislation allows for a concentration of up to 0.2% (2000ppm) of free formaldehyde to be present in cosmetics and other household products. Further, if the concentration of released formaldehyde exceeds 0.05% in the finished product it must be labeled “contains formaldehyde.”
While applying the Nov'Max Keratin treatment there may be a strong smell possibly causing temporary irritation to the eyes and nose. We suggest for you to have good ventilation and for the comfort of your clients dry the hair away from their face and provide a towel to protect their eyes and nose. Also, remember do not apply the product directly on the scalp as this may cause some mild irritation.
