Currently, the theme? Progressive brush? It generates many doubts, due to the wide variety of names that came up with almost the same purpose: straightening the wires.
Smart, chocolate, moroccan, milk brush are some of the many variations. Exactly for this reason it is common that doubts arise as: what are the differences between them? What kind of progressive brush to use?
Tatiana Rocha, hairdresser for Nilceia Rocha Coiffeur, stresses that there are several types of progressive brushes. "There is the strawberry, chocolate, honey, Moroccan, milk, fruit and doubts about the real difference between them and how to choose the most appropriate also abounds," he says. Another recurring question concerns the use of formaldehyde in the progressive brush and the health problems it may offer.
With all this in mind, here are some important guidelines on how to choose the best brush option for your hair:
What is progressive brush?
Sonia Nesi, hairstylist and owner of Sonia Nesi Beauty Studio, explains that the progressive acts as a chemical reaction that alters the structure of the hair, making it smoother.
The hairdresser Tatiana Rocha points out that the progressive brush, besides leaving hair smoother, helps to reduce the volume of the hair. "In addition, it offers a longer lasting convenience than other treatments with the same purpose," he says.
According to Tatiana, the method can last up to four months on the wires. "After that time, the hair has grown long enough for the root volume to start to bother again," explains the hairdresser.
It is worth mentioning that the technique was named with this name because the effect tends to improve with each application.
The use of formaldehyde in the progressive brush
The major concern around the subject? Progressive brush? concerns the use of formaldehyde. The hairdresser Tatiana Rocha explains that this is the main chemical element of most progressive and is overseen by the Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa).
• In excess of formulas, it causes from hair loss, intoxication, scalp burns and can even damage one's breath. Therefore, caution is needed to choose the best type of progressive hair ?, highlights the hairdresser Tatiana.
Sonia Nesi stresses that formaldehyde is bad for the scalp, bad for the skin, can it impair breathing? • A person's hair may fall out or even worse things may happen. We have seen several cases in the media of how it is bad for your health ?, highlights.
Hairstylist Sonia points out, however, that there are already progressive brushes that do not use formaldehyde. Thioglycolate and hydroxide, for example, lack formaldehyde. Are these the ones I use and recommend to my clients?
How to choose the best type of progressive brush?
As already mentioned, there are different types of progressive brush and there is not always consensus about the real difference between each one of them? which makes it very difficult to choose the woman who wants to straighten her hair.
Regarding the use of formaldehyde, it is clear that today most progressive brushes no longer contain this component in their composition.
According to Tatiana Rocha, the best way to choose which brush is best for your hair type is to talk to a professional who knows your hair.
Sonia Nesi points out that it is important that women, before opting for a certain type of brush, be informed about legalized products for hair and not fall into the talk of "fake hairdressers". “Then she should talk to a good professional who understands hair straightening. The hair has to go through an accurate assessment: see if it has color, bleach? If you have already done other chemistry you should inform the professional. This is all very important. Then after this analysis, he will indicate the best for you? Explains the hairstylist.
Progressive brush with formaldehyde x Progressive brush without formaldehyde
But does the formaldehyde progressive brush actually give the same results as the formaldehyde progressive brush?
In the opinion of professional Sonia Nesi, the progressive brush without formaldehyde has no disadvantage compared to the progressive brush that uses formaldehyde. "On the contrary, it is not bad for health and moisturizes the hair," he says.
Talita Novaes, 27, says she has made both types of progressive brush, with and without formaldehyde. “Just as the progressive brush started to hit, I made one that had formaldehyde. My hair, which was already straight, though, was kind of "rebellious", parched, completely straight, "stoned?" really, no volume and no frizz?
Talita says that totally straight hair remained for more than four months."However, I noticed after a while that the amount of hair I had decreased a lot, my hair also became more fragile due to the progressive brush with formaldehyde", reports.
Not long ago, Talita decided to make a progressive brush without formaldehyde. “My hair wasn't completely flat, like the first time, but just use the perfect, super-smooth, natural-looking blow dryer. I think it has gained more shine and is much more hydrated. In general I liked the results of this second brush, without formaldehyde?
Jessica Messiah, 23, also recently bet on the progressive brush without formaldehyde. “My hair is very wavy and frizzy enough. With the brush I feel it has improved a lot. I wash my hair, use only the dryer and it is smooth, and very beautiful ?, reports.

How to make the progressive brush last longer?
For the effect of progressive to last longer, Sonia Nesi advises women always to use a good shampoo, conditioner and leave in. For those who do hair chemistry this is essential. Preferably use the products that the professional indicates. Because in the salon your hair looks wonderful, but at home it does not always continue with the same result. This is due to not using the proper cosmetics that the hairdresser indicated. Using "weak" products, the hair cuticle that was closed in the salon opens, "explains the hairstylist.
The hairdresser Tatiana Rocha stresses that it is important to avoid doing detox treatments or scalp exfoliations. "Avoid using anti-waste shampoo and avoid treatments that do not match the progressive," he says.
So now write down the tips for your progressive last longer:
- Use a good shampoo, conditioner and leave in;
- Preferably to products that your hairdresser indicates;
- Do not do detox treatment or scalp exfoliations;
- Avoid using anti-residue shampoo;
- Do not do treatments that do not match progressive (so always talk to a professional before making any decisions).
Progressive brush contraindications
Another common question is: can all women do progressive brushing or are there contraindications? Tatiana Rocha points out that pregnant women cannot make a progressive brush.
Apart from this condition, everything will depend on the woman's hair, as hairstylist Sonia Nesi explains. “If a woman's hair is badly damaged, nutrient-free, elastic, and weak, she certainly can't make it progressive. First you have to do a reconstruction and bet on a lot of hydration ?, highlights.
As for side effects, Tatiana Rocha points out that if the progressive brush has formaldehyde, hair loss, breathing problems and allergies may occur.
"However, if the brush is legalized, as is the case with thioglycolate, there will be no negative effect," concludes Sonia Nesi.
Now you know that, among so many options of progressive brushes, the best way is always to talk to a professional you trust, find out about the products he will use, choosing the alternative that, besides not containing formaldehyde, fits best with your hair type and can deliver the results you want!
