Is it possible to have formaldehyde-free treatment that really works?  Can it really make is smoother, straighter and frizz-free while restoring its natural shine for overall healthier and more manageable hair without Formaldehyde? 

In a word… YES! We want to answer some of your hardest and most important questions. We are hoping to return your faith in Keratin Treatments and give you an option stylists are raving about!

 

What is the Cezanne Perfect Finish Keratin Smoothing Treatment?  

Cezanne Perfect Finish is a 100% formaldehyde free, next generation smoothing system that uses the latest advances in science, along with only the finest ingredients, that gets your hair to its ideal, most beautiful condition restoring natural shine for overall manageable, healthier hair. 

 

If there are no dangerous chemicals, what ingredients are in the treatment that makes the hair smooth, straight and frizz-free?

Unlike formaldehyde-based keratin systems that simply coat the hair, Cezanne Perfect Finish is 100% formaldehyde free, and uses the latest science in hair care.  Cezanne Perfect Finish’s low pH system – similar to the level of acidity in lemon juice – delivers a proprietary blend of keratins, botanical extracts, and vitamins and proteins, including sericin, a silk protein, into the cuticle of the hair.  

These ingredients change the actual curl pattern of the hair and lock it into a smoother, straighter shape.  After blow drying and sealing the cuticle of the hair with heat with a flat iron, the moisturizing and fortifying ingredients are locked into the hair to smooth and renew from the inside out.

 

How long do the results last?

Cezanne Perfect Finish will last for months, as long as or longer than any formaldehyde systems on the market, but without the dangerous chemicals.  By using the best quality ingredients, without the unpleasant odor, Cezanne Perfect Finish outperforms and outlasts carbocisteine and amino acid products.  Cezanne Perfect Finish doesn’t break the disulfide bonds, which can be damaging to the hair, and washes out over time, so there is no permanent change to the hair and no line of demarcation between treatments.    

 

Who can use Cezanne Perfect Finish?

Cezanne Perfect Finish can be used on any hair type and texture, whether the hair is colored, damaged, bleached, or highlighted.  However, although Cezanne Perfect Finish contains no formaldehyde or other carcinogens, it is the Company’s policy not to recommend any products to pregnant women or to children.

 

Where can someone find a salon that carries this product?

Anyone interested in learning more or trying Cezanne Perfect Finish at their local salon can contact Cezanne at 1-888-316-6250 or email us at [email protected].

 

Have formaldehyde vapor analysis tests been conducted in a salon setting consistent with test protocols of the National Institute of Safety and Health (NIOSH)?

Yes. Samples were taken in salons while stylists were using Cezanne Perfect Finish and these samples were tested by an accredited independent laboratory. There was no detectable trace of formaldehyde.

 

There are formaldehyde treatments and carbocisteine treatments. Where does Cezanne Perfect Finish fall? 

Cezanne Professional Products has never sold a formaldehyde-based product and we never will. Our company was built with a single purpose: Develop the science to deliver a premium product line that features a long-lasting salon keratin smoothing treatment that will perform at least as well as the Brazilian type keratin treatments, but without damaging or dangerous chemicals – like formaldehyde.

Cezanne Perfect Finish contains keratin and glyoxyloyl carbocisteine, but unlike carbocisteine systems you may be familiar with, you won’t notice an unpleasant odor.

Cezanne Perfect Finish also contains glycolic acid, which is well known as an effective exfoliant and moisturizer for the skin.  Glycolic acid delivers important benefits for hair care products by penetrating throughout the hair shaft and remaining infused, exerting a durable effect that stabilizes keratin over time. This mechanism of action not only enhances the softness of hair, but in combination with our proprietary blend of proteins, vitamins and botanical extracts improves protection and manageability of hair by conditioning, moisturizing and allowing hair to better withstand heat and resist breakage.

 

What are the active ingredients and how does it work?

Cezanne Perfect Finish’s proprietary formulation is comprised of a combination of ingredients including sericin, a component of silk. Sericin is able to protect the bonds of the hair and lock hair into a new smoother, straighter shape. In silk, sericin acts as cement between fibrous filaments and it acts in a similar fashion in the Cezanne Perfect Finish treatment of human hair.

Can you provide a “low tech” explanation that I can give to my clients who want to know how Cezanne Perfect Finish works compared to other treatments?

Yes. Unlike formaldehyde-based keratin systems that simply coat the hair, Cezanne Perfect Finish’s low pH system – similar to the level of acidity in lemon juice – delivers a proprietary blend of keratins, botanical extracts, and vitamins and proteins, including sericin, a silk protein, into the cuticle of the hair.  

When heat is applied during the flat iron process, the cuticle is closed and the proprietary blend of keratin, botanical extracts and vitamins are locked into the hair, protecting and smoothing the hair from the inside out.
