Semi di Lino Curls

All hair can be beautiful.

Express your authentic beauty.

Nature’s beauty secret – flaxseed – enhanced forty years ago by ALFAPARF MILANO laboratories, is the original Semi di Lino formula to make the hair more radiant and bring out its authentic beauty.

Each woman is unique and wants to express herself freely.

This is why Semi di Lino continues to evolve: to address diverse scalp conditions, the state of the hair fiber and hair textures, recreating the definition of beauty.

Because all hair can regain its natural splendor and keep it intact over time, even in aggressive and potentially harmful environmental conditions.

Because at ALFAPARF MILANO we know that all hair has the potential to be beautiful.

You just need to understand how to treat it properly.

Semi di Lino is the line of products dedicated to rediscovering the beauty of your hair: it increases shine, makes its color shine intensely, and protects against pollution and climate stressors.

Semi di Lino empowers a woman’s beauty.

Perfection?

Well, not really.

It goes without saying - the idea of perfection is really out-dated. Today, everyone wants to have the freedom to express themselves as they see fit, and they want to do it in a unique way, different from all the others.

In all of this, hair has a key role: it speaks for us and says a lot about us. Indeed, when it is not exactly how we want it, our mood suffers, we become insecure, and we worry about what others think of us.

Heat and humidity, how stressful!

Environmental conditions such as heat and humidity are precisely the main external sources of stress for hair. No matter whether it happens during the same day or as a result of increasingly frequent trips to different latitudes, climate fluctuations strongly affect how our hair looks: too puffy, flat, full of static electricity, frizzy, dehydrated.

Climate effects on our hair*.

DRY COLD ENVIRONMENTS

HOT HUMID ENVIRONMENTS

Hair tends to dry out and to be charged electrostatically, increasing frizz and unwanted volume.

Hair looks puffy and unruly due to humidity affecting its structure, increasing its unwanted volume.

Hair looks unruly and dry, hydration decreases with a consequent change of shape that generates an extreme swollen effect.

FRIZZ: +200% PUFFY EFFECT: +39%

FRIZZ: +194% PUFFY EFFECT: +23%

FRIZZ: +165% PUFFY EFFECT:: +44%

The truth is that our hair does not often make us look just like we wish we did.

HOT DRY ENVIRONMENTS

Regardless of the environment you are in, humidity and temperature have been proven to be the main causes of hair alterations resulting, in any situation, in increasingly frizzy and puffy hair.

1. Does curly hair need specific cuts/color services and treatments?

A. Different curl patterns will have different rules; understanding and determining which curl type your client has, is the first step in order to perform proper color services, treatments and cuts.

2. Is the SDL line suitable for all types of curly hair?

A. Yes. The best results are obtained on wavy to curly hair. For very curly to very coiled hair we suggest the following treatment. Before proceeding with the cleansing step, distribute SDL MULTI-BENEFIT OIL on the lengths and ends, leaving it on the hair for 30 minutes. Cleanse with SDL HYDRATING CO-WASH, apply SDL ENHANCING MASK and continue with SDL DEFINING CREAM. For the gloss phase, apply SDL MULTI-BENEFIT OIL. 3. How can I combine the products in the Curls range with the other Semi di Lino ranges?

A. During the personalized consultation, you will evaluate the condition of the scalp, the condition of the fiber and the type of curl pattern. In the cleansing and treatment phases, the most suitable Semi di Lino products will be applied.

For the leave-in phase, we recommend the application of SDL CURLS DEFINING CREAM or SDL CURLS ENHANCING CONDITIONER depending on the thickness of the hair. As the final touch, apply SDL MULTI-BENEFIT OIL. 4. Where the hair is wavy and curly and the person suffers from a scalprelated problem (for example dandruff), how do I choose the best treatment?

A. For the cleansing phase, use the most suitable SDL Scalp product. For the treatment, use SDL CURLS ENHANCING CONDITIONER or ENHANCING MASK, then the leave-in products in the Scalp line, either the tonic or vial, depending on the need. Finally, we recommend following with the CURLS leave-in products that are most suitable for the type of curly hair, to be applied on lengths and ends, and then follow with styling.

5. What is a Co–wash?

A. The name is the abbreviation of “Conditioner Wash”, i.e. a “cleansing conditioner”. It is a type of product that performs a cleansing action

together with a nourishing and conditioning action. The co-wash in the CURLS line, SDL CURLS HYDRATING CO-WASH, is characterized by its effective cleansing ability without the formation of foam, and promotes a nourishing and detangling action, to cleanse and respect the balance of the curls during the washing phase.

6. How is the SDL CURLS MULTI-BENEFIT OIL different from SDL CRISTALLI LIQUIDI and SDL CRISTALLI DI SETA? A. SDL MULTI-BENEFIT OIL is a multi-action oil with an anti-frizz effect essential for restoring the hydration and elasticity necessary for beautiful curly hair. The active ingredient, Manketti Oil, is known for its nourishing, moisturizing and elasticizing properties.

7. When should I use SDL CURLS DEFINING CREAM and when is it better to go for SDL CURLS ENHANCING CONDITIONER no rinse?

A. SDL CURLS DEFINING CREAM is ideal for medium to fine hair, while SDL CURLS ENHANCING CONDITIONER (no rinse) is formulated for medium to thick hair. Both can be used to define and control the hair.

8. Which type of drying is most suitable for curly hair?

A. Before blow drying, pat your hair dry with a microfiber towel from the bottom upwards, squeezing the hair between your fingers. The special microfiber fabric reduces the mechanical rubbing of the hair and leaves a greater amount of water on it, thus promoting the ideal starting condition for a well-defined drying, without frizz and knots. Remember to keep the drying tools at an average temperature when using them.

9. Can I use the CURLS products on hair that has been permed?

A. Yes. Curls prolongs the cosmetic effects obtained with the salon treatment.
