Hair cauterization is a keratin-based deep hydration technique for hair that leaves hair softer, silkier and smoother in appearance due to its anti-frizz factor. It can be done once a month or every 15 days, when the hair is very damaged.
Cauterization does not change the structure of the hair strand, so it does not straighten the hair, but as it provides deep hydration, the hair becomes softer and appears a little smoother.
How to perform hair cauterization
The step-by-step procedure for hair cauterization is:
- Wash your hair twice in a row with anti-residue shampoo;
- Moisturize them with a hair reconstruction cream, leaving it to act for 20 minutes;
- Wash your hair and apply a product based on keratin;
- Dry your hair with a hairdryer and use a straightener;
- Apply a silicone mask to finish.
This procedure can be performed by a professional hairdresser or at home using professional products.
Cauterization can be done on all hair types, including oily hair and dandruff, but in this case, the product must be applied approximately 2 cm from the scalp.

Hair cauterization price
The price of hair cauterization carried out in the salon varies according to the size of the hair, but, on average, it costs R$200 for long, voluminous hair.
Loreal’s Absolut Repair kit costs an average of R$230, but can be used more than once.
The products can be purchased at drugstores, specialty hair product stores, hair salons or online.
An important tip is that, in the case of oily hair, before cauterizing, you should consult a good hairdresser, as this type of treatment is not always necessary and the result could be even more oily.
