What it is

The Silk Express Taninoplastia kit is a professional, ultra-fast Brazilian smoothing service in three steps. The Nutritive Shampoo opens and preps the hair, the Hair Smoothing Protein carries the active smoothing blend, and the Nutritive Conditioner seals and finishes. At the heart of the kit is Tanino Fusion technology, which combines glyoxylic acid with plant tannins, hydrolyzed silk, guarana and grape seed to reshape how the hair sits. The smoothing is heat-activated: after the Protein is applied and processed, the hair is blow-dried and flat-ironed section by section, which is what locks in the sleek, straighter result. Because it works on the hair's structure rather than just coating it, the effect is semi-permanent. It is a salon treatment applied with a strand test, gloves and proper ventilation.

Key ingredients

Glyoxylic acid: the smoothing active that, with heat, relaxes wave and frizz into a sleeker, straighter shape
Tannic acid (Tanino Fusion): plant tannins that help bind the smoothing to the hair and add a conditioned, silky feel
Hydrolyzed silk (Silk Protein): smooths, strengthens and softens the strands through the process
Guarana (Paullinia cupana): an antioxidant-rich Amazonian botanical that nourishes the hair
Grape seed oil: helps tame frizz and seal the cuticle for shine

What you can expect

After the full three-step service, hair is left visibly smoother, sleeker and easier to manage, with frizz relaxed and the lengths straighter and glossier. The exact result depends on the starting texture and how resistant the hair is. The finish is soft and natural rather than stiff. Results are semi-permanent and typically last up to around four months, fading gradually as the hair is washed. Sulfate-free home care, like the Silk Express range, helps extend the smoothing between services.

Who it is for

Salons and professionals: a complete, ready-to-use taninoplastia system for fast in-chair smoothing
Frizzy, wavy or unruly hair: clients who want a sleeker, straighter, more manageable result
Resistant or coarse hair: the ultra-fast Protein works even on hair that is harder to smooth
Low-maintenance styling: clients who want quicker, easier daily styling for months

Who it is not for

Home users without training: this is a professional service requiring sectioning, controlled timing and flat-iron technique, not a DIY product
Pregnancy and breastfeeding: as a precaution, the manufacturer advises asking a doctor before use
Highly sensitized or over-processed hair: only proceed if a strand test passes; very fragile hair may not tolerate the process
Sulfate-sensitive scalps: the prep Shampoo contains a sulfate cleanser
Fragrance-sensitive clients: the kit is fragranced and contains declared fragrance allergens

Professional recommendation

Always perform a strand test before every application and check the hair's history, especially on colored or bleached hair
Match the flat-iron temperature to the hair's condition within the 180-230°C range, using more passes on resistant hair
Send clients home with the Silk Express home-care line to protect and extend the result

How to use

Strand test: select small sections from the top and neck and follow the full process; if hair becomes brittle, do not proceed.
Wash with the Nutritive Shampoo, then dry the hair completely.
Apply the Protein: section the hair and apply about 1 cm from the scalp. Leave 15-20 minutes depending on thickness, then rinse out 60%.
Blow-dry and flat-iron each section 10-15 times at 180-230°C to seal the smoothing. Rinse thoroughly.
Condition: apply the Nutritive Conditioner from lengths to ends, leave 1 minute, then rinse. Recommend the home-care line for maintenance.

Safety: Professional use only. External use. Wear gloves and work in a ventilated area. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and scalp; rinse immediately if contact occurs. Discontinue if irritation occurs. Ask a doctor if pregnant or breastfeeding. Keep out of the reach of children and pets; store in a cool place.

Compatibility

The kit is the in-salon step of the Silk Express system, maintained at home with the Silk Express range, the Nutritive Shampoo and Conditioner, Ultra-Gloss Mask, Smoothing Leave-In and Nourishing Serum, which keep the result smooth between services. It can be used over hair previously colored, bleached or keratin-treated, provided a strand test confirms the hair is strong enough; on lightened or very light hair, expect possible slight changes to tone.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Silk Express Taninoplastia kit and how does it work?

It is a three-step professional smoothing system: a Nutritive Shampoo to prep, a Hair Smoothing Protein with the Tanino Fusion blend, and a Nutritive Conditioner to seal. The Protein combines glyoxylic acid, tannic acid, hydrolyzed silk, guarana and grape seed, and is activated by blow-drying and flat-ironing to smooth frizz and relax the hair into a sleek, straighter finish.

How is it applied, what are the three steps?

Always do a strand test first. Wash the hair with the Shampoo and dry it fully. Apply the Protein in sections about 1 cm from the scalp, leave it 15 to 20 minutes depending on thickness, then rinse out 60 percent. Blow-dry and flat-iron each section at 180 to 230 degrees, rinse, and finish with the Conditioner. It is a salon service.

Does it contain formaldehyde, and is it safe?

It is not sold as formaldehyde-free. The Protein uses glyoxylic acid and a preservative that can release small amounts of formaldehyde when the hair is heated during flat-ironing. For that reason it is a professional-only service that should be applied with gloves in a well-ventilated space, following the label instructions and a strand test every time.

Can I use it on colored or bleached hair?

Yes, but with care and a mandatory strand test. The combination of glyoxylic acid and high heat can slightly lighten or shift artificial color, especially on bleached or very light hair. Your stylist checks how a small section responds before treating the whole head, and decides on timing and temperature based on your hair's condition and history.

How long do the results last?

Results are semi-permanent and typically last up to around four months, depending on your hair type, how often you wash and how you care for it. The smoothing fades gradually with washing rather than growing out in a hard line. Using sulfate-free home care, such as the Silk Express home-care range, helps the result last longer.

Can I do it at home, or do I need a professional?

This kit is for professional use only. It needs careful sectioning, controlled timing, flat-ironing at 180 to 230 degrees and proper ventilation, which is not suited to a DIY home application. The at-home part of the routine is the Silk Express home-care line, the shampoo, conditioner, mask, leave-in and serum that maintain the result between salon visits.

How is this different from the Silk Express home-care products?

This kit is the in-salon smoothing service that actually changes how your hair behaves, using heat-activated chemistry to relax frizz and smooth the lengths. The home-care shampoo, conditioner, mask, leave-in and serum do not smooth on their own, they clean, condition and protect the result so your smoothing stays sleek and lasts longer between treatments.
