BTX Vegan Kit 3x300ml - Cadiveu Brasil Cacau is the complete BTX Vegan smoothing system in one set, built around the vegan, glyoxylic-acid BTX Vegan treatment: the smoothing that applies to unwashed hair and is driven by that acid rather than by formaldehyde. The set pairs it with the Step 1 Anti-Residue Shampoo, for a clarified base, and the Step 3 Deep Conditioning Mask that seals after the iron, all in 300ml bottles, priced below the three bought separately. For professional use only.

Why the BTX Vegan Kit

BTX Vegan is the vegan member of the Brasil Cacau smoothing systems: a glyoxylic-acid treatment that carries the vegan badge, is free of animal-derived ingredients and smooths without formaldehyde, with the signature that it can go straight onto unwashed hair. The kit puts the full service in one box: the BTX Vegan smoothing at Step 2, the Anti-Residue Shampoo at Step 1 for a clarified base, and the Deep Conditioning Mask at Step 3 that seals after the heat. Each step works with the next, priced below the three bottles separately, so one purchase covers a full head, worked with or without a pre-wash. It is the choice for a client who wants a vegan smoothing and a natural-looking finish rather than the maximum control that thick, resistant hair needs.

Key Ingredients

The smoothing active is glyoxylic acid, the second ingredient on the BTX Vegan list, which relaxes the hair as it is dried and ironed. There is no formaldehyde and no formaldehyde-releasing preservative in the treatment, so the smoothing chemistry is the acid, not a donor. Working with it, Vegan Collagen (the plant gum Acacia Senegal Gum Extract) and cocoa (Theobroma Cacao) butter condition the fibre and arginine supports its protein structure; no animal-derived ingredient appears on the BTX Vegan list. The Step 1 shampoo cleans deep on an alkaline pH to open the cuticle, and the Step 3 mask carries hydrolyzed keratin, cocoa butter and D-Panthenol to seal after the heat, which is also why the complete kit is not vegan.

What to Expect

Off the iron the hair is visibly straighter, smoother and calmer, with bulk and frizz pulled down, while the finish stays natural-looking rather than poker-flat. Because the result is set under heat and sealed with the Step 3 mask, it holds through washing for 3 to 6 months, depending on how the hair is cared for at home, and a sulfate-free routine keeps it looking fresh for longer.

Who It Is For

• Clients who want a natural-looking straight finish from a vegan smoothing treatment
• Hair that needs frizz control rather than a rigid poker-straight look
• Salons that want the complete system in one set, worked with or without a pre-wash, at a saving

Who It Is Not For

• Extremely damaged hair, which the label rules out until the fibre is back in condition
• A client who needs the whole set to be vegan, as its shampoo and mask carry keratin
• Anyone wanting an at-home treatment, since this is a professional salon service

Professional tip: keep the treatment half a centimetre off the scalp and work in fine sections so every strand is coated evenly, then let the strand test set your iron temperature and pass count rather than defaulting to the maximum. Because BTX Vegan can start on unwashed hair, judge the hair first: if it carries heavy build-up, clarify with the kit's Step 1 shampoo for an even result.

How to Use

Run a strand test first and let it set your iron temperature and pass count. With this kit BTX Vegan can be worked two ways: the manufacturer method, applied straight onto unwashed hair, or the Brazilian method, which opens with the kit's Step 1 shampoo for a clarified, residue-free base. Both finish the same way, under the iron and sealed with the Step 3 mask.

Method 1: on unwashed hair

1. Shake the BTX Vegan bottle well before use.
2. Start on dry, unwashed hair; a clarifying wash is not required for this method.
3. Divide the hair into 6 sections.
4. Apply BTX Vegan with a brush, half a centimetre from the roots, avoiding the scalp.
5. Distribute the product evenly with a fine comb so every strand is coated.
6. Leave it to act for up to 60 minutes.
7. Rinse partially, removing about 30% (the excess product only).
8. Dry 100%.
9. Flat-iron 15 to 20 passes from roots to lengths, fewer at the ends according to the integrity of the hair, at 180 to 230 degrees Celsius per the strand test.
10. Rinse, then work the Deep Conditioning Mask through the lengths for 5 to 10 minutes to seal and hydrate, and finish.

Method 2: the Brazilian method (clarify first)

1. Clarify with the kit's Anti-Residue Shampoo to lift residue and open the cuticle for an even, residue-free base, then rinse.
2. Dry 100% before applying.
3. Section the hair into 6 and apply BTX Vegan off the scalp, half a centimetre from the roots, then comb through from roots to tips.
4. Leave it to act for up to 60 minutes, judging the pause by hair type and porosity.
5. Rinse partially, removing about 30% (the excess only).
6. Dry 100%.
7. Seal 15 to 20 passes at 180 to 230 degrees Celsius, set by the strand test, fewer passes at fragile ends.
8. Finish with the Deep Conditioning Mask for 5 to 10 minutes to seal and hydrate.

Where It Fits in the Brasil Cacau Range

The BTX Vegan Kit is the vegan-smoothing system in the Brasil Cacau smoothing systems: reach for it when a client wants a natural-looking straight finish from a vegan treatment. For coloured or fine hair the Eco Keratin Kit is the colour-safe complete system; for thick, resistant hair the Smoothing Protein Kit; and where reconstruction is the goal the Thermal Reconstruction Kit. All four kits share the same Step 1 and Step 3. Keep the result at home with the Brasil Cacau home care.
