Vitta Gold Top One Hair Smoothing Protein Treatment is a professional Brazilian smoothing cream built on Hyalugen Technology -- Hyaluronic Acid plus Hydrolyzed Collagen -- for salon-grade smoothness with deep nourishment. Sealed by the flat iron at 230°C, the formula creates a protective film that supports extreme shine while reinforcing the hair fiber. This protein cream is the heart of the five-product Top One Hyalugen system, engineered to perform on all hair types.
- Professional Brazilian protein cream for hair smoothing
- Hyalugen Technology: Hyaluronic Acid plus Hydrolyzed Collagen
- Botanical oil quartet: Argan, Grape, Sunflower, Coconut
- Formaldehyde-free formulation
- Processing time: 40-60 minutes (hair-thickness dependent)
- Results last up to 6 months with proper application and aftercare
What it is
Top One Hair Smoothing Protein Treatment is the in-salon protein cream within the Vitta Gold Top One Hyalugen salon system -- the active that delivers the actual smoothing service. Exclusive Hyalugen Technology combines hyaluronic acid, hydrolyzed collagen, and a botanical oil quartet that the flat iron seals into a protective film at 230°C, for professional-grade smoothness on all hair types.
Key ingredients
- Hyaluronic Acid: Moisture-binding hero that supports hydration and suppleness
- Hydrolyzed Collagen: Strengthens the hair fiber and improves elasticity
- Argan Oil: Adds shine and softness, restores manageability
- Grape Seed Oil: Antioxidant protection and vitamin E nourishment
- Coconut Oil: Deep hydration and silky-smooth finish
- Sunflower Seed Oil: Frizz-control emollient for soft, sealed strands
- Shea Butter: Sealing emollient for lasting softness and shine
These actives combine into the Hyalugen film that the flat iron seals into the cuticle during the smoothing service.
What you can expect
After the full salon protocol, hair looks dramatically smoother, shinier, and more aligned. Daily styling time drops, frizz stays controlled even in humid weather, and the strand feel is soft and nourished rather than coated. The Hyalugen film locks in moisture while reinforcing the fiber, so results build with repeated applications. With proper aftercare from the Top One home-care line, smoothness lasts up to 6 months.
Who it is for
- All hair types seeking professional Brazilian smoothing with a nourishing finish
- Frizzy, voluminous, or unruly hair that needs alignment and control
- Damaged or chemically processed hair wanting strengthening alongside smoothing
- Dry, dehydrated strands that benefit from hyaluronic and collagen-led moisture
- Salon professionals offering Brazilian smoothing services and the full Top One Hyalugen protocol
Who it is not for
- At-home users without professional experience -- this is a professional-grade product requiring proper technique
- Hair freshly bleached or chemically processed on the same day as application
- Clients with scalp irritation, open cuts, or sensitive skin in the application area
- Anyone who has not performed a strand test -- mandatory before every application
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women -- consult a medical professional before use
Professional recommendation
- Strand test on a small hair section before every application
- Clean, calibrated professional flat iron with titanium plates for even heat
- Follow the Top One Hyalugen system in sequence -- Shampoo, Protein, Mask, Conditioner, Serum
- Match iron temperature to hair condition: 180-200°C fine or color-treated, 210-230°C normal to thick
- Work in a well-ventilated salon space with professional gloves
- Wait 48 hours before any further chemical service such as coloring or bleaching
- Recommend the dedicated Top One home-care line to clients for extended smoothing
- Adjust processing time by client hair density -- thinner hair faster, thicker hair longer pause
How to use
Choose one complete protocol per service: the Standard Manufacturer Method (label-verbatim) or the Brazilian Expert Salon Standard Method (hair-type-graded). Always perform a strand test before every full application.
A. Standard Manufacturer Method
- Wash hair with Top One Hyalugen Cleansing Shampoo, then dry 100% with a blow dryer
- Section hair into 6 equal parts
- Apply the protein cream with steady, firm, long brushstrokes, starting from the back parts
- Process 40 minutes for thinner hair or 60 minutes for thicker hair
- Rinse about 60% of the product using only water -- no shampoo
- Dry hair 100% with a blow dryer
- Flat iron each strand in fine locks, 10-15 passes at 230°C / 446°F
- Finish with Top One Mask (5 min, rinse), Conditioner (rinse), then Serum
B. Brazilian Expert Salon Standard Method
This expert protocol differs from the manufacturer method in three ways: hair-type-graded processing, controlled iron temperatures, and a partial-rinse technique that retains more film for thermal sealing.
- Wash and dry 100% with Top One Hyalugen Cleansing Shampoo
- Section hair into 6 equal parts, working from the back
- Apply the protein cream with firm long brushstrokes, 1 cm from the scalp
- Process by hair type: 30-40 min fine or porous; 40-50 min color-treated; 50-60 min natural to thick
- Partial rinse -- rinse out 50-60% of the product, retaining 40-50% on the strand for thermal sealing
- Dry hair 100% and brush smooth
- Flat iron by hair condition: 10-12 passes at 180-200°C fine; 12-15 passes at 210-230°C normal; 15-20 passes at 230°C thick
- Finish: rinse, apply Mask 5 min (rinse), Conditioner (rinse), Serum, blow-dry

Frequently asked questions
Is this protein treatment formaldehyde-free?
Yes. The Top One Hair Smoothing Protein Treatment is formulated without formaldehyde or formaldehyde-releasing ingredients. Vitta Gold has pioneered formaldehyde-free professional smoothing since the early 2000s, and the INCI list confirms a glyoxylic-based chemistry. Always ventilate the salon space and follow the strand test protocol before every application.
Why is this treatment for professional salon use only?
The protocol requires precise sectioning, exact processing times, and controlled flat iron temperatures up to 230°C, which demand professional training. The product is sealed onto the hair by heat, so iron technique determines the outcome. Wearing gloves, ventilating the salon space, and performing a strand test before every application are part of the professional protocol.
How long do the results last, and do they improve with repeated applications?
With proper application and aftercare, results last up to 6 months. Repeat applications strengthen the cumulative smoothing effect because the Hyalugen film builds over time. For best longevity, use the dedicated Top One Hyalugen home-care line, avoid harsh sulfate shampoos, and limit chlorinated or salt water exposure between salon sessions.
Can this treatment be used on bleached, colored, or previously chemically treated hair?
Yes, on all hair types including bleached, colored, and chemically processed strands -- but the strand test is non-negotiable. Wait 48 hours after any chemical service before applying, and again before any new chemical service after. For very compromised hair, use the Brazilian expert salon method with hair-type-graded processing and a controlled iron temperature of 180 to 200°C.
Why does this treatment have two application methods?
The manufacturer method is the label-verbatim protocol: 40 to 60 minute processing, 60% rinse before the iron, then thermal sealing at 230°C. The Brazilian expert salon method adjusts processing time, iron temperature, and pass count by hair condition, and retains 40 to 50% of the product on the strand for stronger thermal sealing. Both are professional-grade -- choose by client hair type.
Which Vitta Gold protein treatment should I choose -- Top One, Nanoplex Arginina, or Silk Express?
Top One Hyalugen suits all hair types with a moisture-led, balanced smoothing finish. Nanoplex Arginina is the first choice for blonde, bleached, or heavily color-treated hair, with its Acid Violet anti-yellow technology. Silk Express is the ultra-fast option with a 10 to 20 minute protocol, ideal for high-volume salons or time-pressed services.
Do I need the full Top One Hyalugen system, or can I use the protein alone?
The protein cream delivers the smoothing service on its own, but the full five-product system delivers the strongest result. The Cleansing Shampoo opens the cuticle for protein efficacy, the Hair Repair Mask and Smoothing Conditioner seal the cuticle after the iron, and the Nutri Oils Repair Serum locks in shine. The system is engineered to work in sequence.
