The KAREOL Brazilian Extra Hydrating Keratin Kit is a complete at-home straightening treatment that intensely hydrates hair and makes it smoother, softer, shinier, and more manageable for a long time. The treatment is suitable for all hair types and helps control unwanted frizz and unrulyness.
The Extra Moisturizing formula combines hyaluronic acid, argan oil, and keratin . KAREOL developed this variant for those who, in addition to a long-lasting smoothing result, primarily want extra hydration and softness.
According to KAREOL, when applied correctly, the result can last up to 12 weeks .
This Brazilian keratin treatment combines straightening with intensive hydration . The hair becomes smoother and better disciplined, while the formula simultaneously focuses on softness, shine, and manageability.
The treatment is particularly interesting for hair that is frizzy, dry, or difficult to style, but KAREOL does not limit Extra Moisturizing to dry hair: the manufacturer recommends this variant for all hair types .
The complete kit contains four products for the treatment:
Hyaluronic acid forms an important part of the Extra Moisturizing formula. Hyaluronic acid is known for its moisture-binding properties and is therefore also used in hair care products where hydration is central.
This ties in directly with the most important distinguishing feature of this KAREOL variant: not only making the hair smoother, but paying explicit attention to hydration during the treatment.
The formula also contains argan oil and keratin . These ingredients are part of the conditioning formula with which KAREOL aims to make hair smoother, softer, shinier, and more manageable.
It is important not to confuse this treatment with a regular shampoo or conditioner containing keratin. This is an actual straightening treatment in which the Straightening Cream is used in combination with blow-drying and a straightener.
KAREOL explicitly positions Extra Moisturizing as suitable for all hair types . The treatment can therefore be chosen for various hair structures when a long-lasting smoother result and extra hydration are desired.
The treatment is of interest for, among others:
Frizz is a major reason to choose a Brazilian keratin treatment. The treatment helps to better discipline the hair and makes the hair structure smoother, making unwanted frizz less visible and the hair easier to style.
The Extra Moisturizing variant combines this smoothing effect with a formula where hydration takes center stage.
KAREOL states that the straightening and frizz reduction products within the Brazilian Keratin line do not contain formaldehyde .
In addition, the manufacturer states that the products are free from salt, sulfates, DEA, and parabens .
Formaldehyde-free does not mean that the treatment can be performed without precautions. The Straightening Cream must be applied carefully, and the treatment requires the use of a hairdryer and straightener. Therefore, always read the complete instructions for use on the packaging before use.
According to KAREOL, the result of the Brazilian Keratin treatment can remain visible for up to 12 weeks .
The actual duration may vary per person and depends on, among other things, hair structure, hair condition, washing frequency, care products used, and the correct execution of the treatment.
For maintenance after the treatment, KAREOL has developed a special Post-Straightening Shampoo and Conditioner.
Always read the complete instructions for use supplied with the kit before the treatment. The procedure below follows the official KAREOL instructions for Extra Moisturizing.
