Alaska hair care technology with safe and permanent hair shaping
Alaska offers a revolutionary hair care solution that provides safe, permanent hair shaping with no formaldehyde, compatible with hair dyes, and a natural look. Suitable for all hair types, it maintains hair integrity and shape for up to 6 months.
Overview
Alaska is a groundbreaking hair care technology designed to offer a safe and permanent solution for hair shaping. Unlike traditional methods, Alaska uses an oil-in-water emulsion where the oil phase actively penetrates the hair shaft. Once penetrated and dried, the active ingredient is cured using a hot iron at temperatures between 180-220°C, depending on the hair type. This results in a permanent shape that can last between 3 to 6 months or even longer. Importantly, Alaska avoids formaldehyde and harsh chemicals, ensuring no hair damage and maintaining compatibility with hair dyes without altering color. The treatment provides a natural look and feel with a simple care routine, low odor, smoke, and no irritation.
