Brazil Protein BTOX Mass Replenisher Salon & Home Care Kit (1 kg + 2 x 300 ml) is a beauty as well set of three Brazil Protein products. In it are the tub Mass Replenisher 1 kg and the two Bio Lamination home-care bottles, Bio Lamination Shampoo 300 ml and Bio Lamination Conditioner Mask 300 ml. The tub is the hair B-tox step of the set. Its lever is its printed timing: 15-20 minutes to reduce frizz, 40-60 minutes to reduce volume, then rinse, blow-dry and seal with the iron. The two bottles are the wash and the conditioning step, each with its own directions.

Why these three together

Each member has one job, in its own words. The tub is the salon treatment: leave on, rinse, blow dry 100% and finish with the iron until sealed. Its printed directions open with wash hair with shampoo of your choice, so the wash is yours to pick. The shampoo is the home wash of the Bio Lamination pair: apply to wet hair, massage well, rinse. The mask is the conditioning step: its sticker says after washing your hair with shampoo, apply the conditioner, wait a few minutes and rinse. The set keeps the three on one shelf; the order between them is each member's own.

What to expect

From the tub: softer, shinier hair with less frizz after the iron, and less volume at the longer window; the front's own words, emolliency, moisturizing, shine and anti-frizz, are the ceiling. From the shampoo: clean hair that rinses free of product. From the mask: hair that detangles more easily and feels softer after rinsing.

Who it is for

• The tub: frizzy hair that should stay movable, at the short window; voluminous hair that should sit flatter, at the long window
• The tub: salons that set the result by the time window and the iron
• The two bottles: clients taking the Bio Lamination wash and conditioning step home

Who it is not for

• Professional use: the tub prints it, and both bottles print Professional
• The tub: children, as printed; if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a doctor before application, as printed
• The shampoo: clients sensitive to methylchloroisothiazolinone or methylisothiazolinone, 16th on its list, or to fragrance, 9th

Professional tip

Decide the aim before you mix the bowl, not halfway through the processing. Frizz and volume use different windows on this tub, and a client who wants less volume needs the longer one from the start. We ask that question at the consultation, with the tub closed.

How to use

Method A is each member's own printed directions, under its name. Method B is how we would work the tub in the chair; the two bottles follow their own stickers.

Method A: the tub, as the EU label prints it

1. Perform a strand test before application.
2. With damp hair, apply the product strand by strand, 1 cm / 0.5 inches away from the root.
3. Leave it on for 10 to 50 minutes depending on your hair type.
4. Rinse, dry and flat iron thin strands until the strands are sealed at an average temperature of 204 °C / 400 °F.

The tub's printed original gives the timing by aim: 'Leave on for 15-20 minutes to reduce frizz or 40-60 minutes to reduce volume.'

Method A: the shampoo, as the EU label prints it

1. Apply shampoo to wet hair.
2. Massage well and rinse without leaving any residue.
3. Repeat the operation if necessary.

Method A: the mask, as the EU label prints it

1. After washing your hair with shampoo, apply the conditioner.
2. Wait a few minutes and rinse.
3. If you prefer, use it to detangle your hair, rinse thoroughly and style as usual.

Method B: the tub, the Brazilian method (salon practice)

Salon practice, not a step printed on the pack.

1. Strand test first, on a hidden section.
2. Wash once or twice to clean the hair of product and oils; the tub leaves the shampoo to you.
3. Towel-dry to damp, not wet, so the treatment is not diluted.
4. Section into four, then fine sections; apply strand by strand, 1 cm off the root, and comb through each section.
5. Choose the time by the aim: the shorter window in Method A for frizz, the longer for volume.
6. Rinse.
7. Blow-dry fully, brushing the hair out as you go.
8. Iron thin strands at the temperature in Method A until sealed, in slow, even passes; on bleached or fine hair, fewer passes rather than a hotter plate.
