What is nero’s cap for?

This is a mechanical straightening and volume reduction process, which consists of wrapping the hair around the head, as if it were a band, to force it to remain taut.

Straightens hair: works for wavy strands or with more open curls. Curly hair requires the addition of a straightening brush when drying it, before carrying out the procedure.

Increases the durability of other straightening treatments: When you notice that the straightening effect is decreasing (with a straightener, brush or chemical treatment), it’s worth using a nero cap to prolong it.

Reduces volume: as the strands are pressed for many hours, the volume tends to be lower when you release them.

Reduces frizz: the way the hair is arranged under the cap and the reduction of friction with the pillowcase means that frizzy strands are controlled.

Does not cause damage: straightening is done without heat and chemical sources.
