A keratin treatment uses keratin protein to
temporarily restore and rejuvenate the hair,
creating a smoother, stronger and healthier
appearance.
ker·a·tin
/ˈkerətin
/
Noun
A fibrous protein forming the main structural
constituent of hair, feathers, hoofs, claws,
horns, etc.
Keratin is a biological protein that composes the majority of our hair, skin and
nails. Dead keratin cells make up the top layer of hair; protecting new cells as
they grow beneath the surface. Maintaining the health of the dead cells is
crucial, but this becomes difficult due to daily stressors that agitate the hair
follicle.
Keratin
The LASIO Keratin Treatments work by coating & infusing
the hair strands in keratin; replacing the broken
protein bonds and strengthening the hair by adding
an additional layer of keratin. Our treatments
soften and smooth the hair strands, removing
100% of frizz and transforming damaged hair into
manageable, shiny locks.
An exact match for the keratin your hair has (or has lost
due to chemical processing). This is the highest quality
and most potent keratin protein that can be used in hair
products.
Hydrolyzed Human Hair Keratin Protein – Cretein HKP is
produced by hydrolyzing human hair down to a molecular
weight of approximately 150-2000. It is a mixture of Amino
Acids that are highly moisture-binding and will take the
dull appearance away. Because this process is essentially
putting hair back into hair, you will see benefits such as
body, bounce and shine.
In 2007, LASIO took its services and commitment to safety a step further. LASIO created a
Safety 1st program to provide in-depth knowledge and safety awareness to all LASIO clients.
The Safety 1st program not only educates our clients on proper product use, but also
implements precautionary measures under federal guidelines. Our Safety 1st program gives
stylists the confidence they need when dealing with federal officials, skeptical clients, and
media speculations.
Our Safety 1st Program consists of:
LASIO Education Class-Lasio is committed to educating stylists on proper product usage
Ventilation Consultation- Proper ventilation is highly recommended when performing any
type of chemical service. Lasio provides consultations on the best ventilation and air purifier
systems for salons.
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and Lab Reports-All of our clients are supplied
MSDS forms and lab reports for Lasio products. Our products are tested every 3 months to
ensure safety and efficiency.
The LASIO Seal-Upon meeting all of the necessary safety requirements, salons are
rewarded the Lasio Seal and Certification. The LASIO Seal is a badge alerting consumers
that they are attending a certified Lasio Salon.
The owner or operator of any facility which is required to prepare or have available a material
safety data sheet for a hazardous chemical under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 [29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.] and regulations promulgated under that Act shall submit a material
safety data sheet for each such chemical, or a list of such chemicals as described in paragraph
(2), to each of the following:
(A) The appropriate local emergency planning committee.
(B) The State emergency response commission.
(C) The fire department with jurisdiction over the facility.
It is intended to provide workers and emergency personnel with procedures for handling or
working with that substance in a safe manner, and includes information such as physical data
(melting point, flash point, boiling point, etc.), toxicity, health effects, first aid, reactivity, storage,
disposal, protective equipment, and spill-handling procedures. MSDS formats can vary from
source to source within a country depending on national requirements.
MSDSs are a widely done system for cataloging information on chemicals, chemical compounds,
and chemical mixtures. MSDS information may include instructions for the safe use and potential
hazards associated with a particular material or product. These data sheets can be found
anywhere where chemicals are being used.
An MSDS for a substance is not primarily intended for use by the general consumer, focusing
instead on the hazards of working with the material in an occupational setting.

/fôrˈmaldəˌhīd/
Noun
A colorless pungent gas, CH2O, in solution made by oxidizing methanol.
In addition to being used in things like glues, preservatives, antiseptics, resins,
paints, film processing, and embalming, formaldehyde is also abundant in the
atmosphere. It is one of the many byproducts of combustion, and it is also formed
through atmospheric reactions, making it a major component of smog. As a result,
it can be a challenge to avoid.
Formaldehyde is permitted at low levels when used as a preservative in
cosmetics. In liquid form, formaldehyde is referred to as methylene glycol or
formalin. The terms 'formaldehyde' and 'methylene glycol' are often used
interchangeably in toxicity studies pertaining to formaldehyde.
FDA – The FDA allows products to contain up to 0.2%
Formaldehyde
OSHA – OSHA allows products to contain up to 0.1%
formaldehyde

Euxyl K 702 is a liquid cosmetic preservative,
which can be used in leave-on as well as rinseoff products.
Euxyl K 702 was developed for use in cosmetic
formulations with a skin-friendly pH value of up
to 6. Euxyl K 702 is particularly effective in nonionic systems. It has a broad, balanced
spectrum of effect against bacteria, yeasts and
mold fungi as well as a good vapor phase
effectiveness.
Step One: Clarify Hair 2-3 Times (for virgin hair, allow the shampoo to
sit on
the hair for 10 minutes)
Step Two: Rough Dry Hair 100%
Step Three: Apply the Keratin Treatment in small sections,
starting at the nape. Be sure that product is evenly distributed
without over saturating
Step Four: Blow Dry to 100%
Step Five: Flat Iron hair, using ¼ inch sections. Hair must be
elevated to 90 degrees to avoid lines. Hair should be flat ironed 7
times at root, mid shaft and end. Flat iron MUST be set on 450
degrees regardless of hair texture.
It is CRUCIAL that you use a 100% Ceramic
Plated Flat iron with LASIO Keratin
Treatments.
Our formula is water based and titanium or
tourmaline flat irons can singe the hair –
especially over processed and porous hair.
Don’t test it. Here is an image of someone
who had her hair destroyed at the hands of
a stylist who insisted on using titanium…

SODIUM CHLORIDE
AKA: SALT
Sodium Chloride is the kryptonite of keratin treatments. Exposure to this
natural substance can take out a keratin treatment very rapidly. How are
we exposed to sodium chloride? A better question is: How are we NOT?
Sodium Chloride is in our sweat, the ocean, well water softeners & most
shampoos. Even the most expensive & high end shampoos have it – and
so do the organic ones you find in Whole Foods. Unfortunately you must
avoid exposure to sodium if you want to maintain the results of your
keratin treatment. If your client is going on vacation to the beach,
recommend having the service done upon their return. If you do it prior to
their vacation they will come home in a very bad mood. Even the air at the
beach is full of salt. Its impossible to avoid exposure.
Sodium Chloride cont…
If your client is a gym rat then they too must take special precautions
to ensure the full duration of the treatment. Even if they tell you they don’t
sweat, THEY SWEAT. If they wear their hair up, then it is likely that only
their roots are exposed to the sweat. In this case recommend that they
use a leave in conditioner or dry shampoo to protect their hair. For those
clients who live or vacation in an area that uses well water – the softening
system uses sodium chloride tablets. Even taking a shower can ruin their
treatment. Fortunately, there are non sodium softeners so let your client
know all hope is not lost. In addition to all of these things, we recommend
using the HYPERSILK Aftercare System to maintain the treatment for its
full duration. Please STRESS the importance of aftercare with your client.

A proper consultation is an absolute MUST to
ensure the client is a acceptable candidate to
receive a keratin treatment. Without performing an
in-depth and thorough consultation you are
withholding critical information from your client as
well as risking having to perform re-dos and losing
clients due to a lack of communication. Ultimately
the responsibility is yours to educate your client on
his/her treatment and to find out if keratin is indeed
the best option.
Let’s see if you can answer some consultation
questions!!







What are you hoping to achieve with a keratin treatment?
Are you aware of the home maintenance required to preserve the
treatment?
What is your lifestyle like? Do you regularly attend the gym, go
swimming or visit the beach?
Do you use well water at home?
It is very humid during the summer months. Are you willing to
avoid going outside for the next 24 hours of processing?
Certain shampoos and conditioners contain harsh chemicals that
will destroy the treatment. Are you willing to use the proper
Hypersilk shampoo and conditioner to maintain the treatment?
This treatment is temporary. Are you aware that to maintain the
results you must have another treatment in 4-6 months?
Thank you for taking the time to become more
knowledgeable about LASIO Keratin
Treatments. This is the first step in educating
yourself so that you are performing the
treatments correctly in the safest way possible.
It shows your fellow stylists & clients that you
take your craft seriously and I applaud you. If
you have any questions please contact me:
