What Is It?

The Cadiveu Brasil Cacau EcoKeratin is Step 2 – the core smoothing formula – in the professional EcoKeratin 3-Step Smoothing System. This NEW IMPROVED FORMULA features organic ECO Keratin technology with glyoxylic acid and helps deliver effective smoothing while preserving the integrity of fine, porous, and chemically processed hair. Unlike traditional keratin systems designed for thick, resistant hair, EcoKeratin provides a gentler approach that respects delicate strands.

Professional Application: This product is designed for professional salon application or users with sufficient experience in applying keratin smoothing systems. Always perform a strand test before full application.

System Component: This is Step 2 of the Cadiveu Brasil Cacau EcoKeratin Complete Kit. Use it after Step 1 – Anti-Residue Shampoo and follow with Step 3 – Deep Conditioning Mask for complete results.

Size Guide: This 300ml size is ideal for 3-5 full applications on medium-length hair, making it perfect for salon professionals wanting to trial the system, mobile stylists, or experienced home users. For high-volume salons, the 1000ml professional size offers better value.

Who Is It For?

EcoKeratin Step 2 is the preferred choice for:

• Stylists specializing in blonde, balayage, and highlighted clients
• Clients with fine, thin, or delicate hair texture
• Color-treated or bleached hair requiring gentle formulas
• Individuals with sensitive scalps or sensitivity to strong odors
• Hair that needs smoothing without heavy, weighing-down results

Professional Tips

• Always perform a strand test – essential for chemically processed hair
• Use lower temperature settings (180-200°C) for fine and blonde hair
• Use a professional titanium flat iron for precise temperature control
• Apply with application brush 0.5cm from roots – never touch scalp
• Work in well-ventilated spaces with professional gloves
• Distribute evenly with fine-tooth comb for consistent results
• Recommend sulfate-free aftercare to extend results

   • Fine/weak/porous hair: 8-10 passes at 180°C
   • Blonde/highlighted hair: 10-12 passes at 180-190°C
