What is Acid Heat Treatment?

Are you ready to have the best hair of your life? Recover your hair to its healthiest form. Glossy. Supple. Soft. Lustrous hair is just one treatment away.

The NEW Sammy Treatment System was developed by New York hair industry pioneer Mr. Sammy Miyamoto. Although styling and coloring can create beautiful results, damage from heat, products, and harsh chemicals is inevitable. Accumulation of alkaline-based substances contained in hair colors and perm products are not able to be addressed and removed by other treatments.

Common complaints of damaged hair :

  • My hair breaks when I blowdry

  • My hand / comb / brush gets stuck when brushing

  • My ends look like there are white spots on them

  • My hair appears brittle, untamed, and thin

These are all common symptoms of lack of nutrients, and lack of moisturization and hydration. The nutrients and hydration escape the hair, and it becomes impossible for it to retain the nutrients and moisturization that the hair needs to look and feel healthy.

This new treatment focuses on restoring the fiber cells inside the hair that are broken. Powerhouse ingredient glyoxylic acid works to recover the destroyed cell bonds. Damaged hair tends to be biased toward alkalinity, so this acid-based treatment allows your hair to stabilize to form and sustain glossy, soft, lustrous hair.

 A safe, gentle, and effective treatment designed to reshape your hair to health like never before- the Sammy Treatment System does not include formaldehyde- an ingredient often used in the other popular hair treatments.

This treatment is recommended if:

  • Your hair spreads and bends in unwanted ways

  • You want your hair to appear healthier, softer and to flow better

  • You are concerned about hair damage and/ or hair aging

  • You want your hair health and glow to maintain with little added effort in your routine

 Treatment Attributes:

  • Does not contain harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde

  • Does not contain alkaline-based ingredients

  • Does not cause stress to the hair

  • With continued treatments, the hair continues to become stronger and less prone to damage

  • Suitable for treated, permed, and colored hair

  1. Hair Evaluation - We create a custom solution that is adjusted and created in the concentrations appropriate for your specific hair quality.

  2.  Shampoo - We will wash your hair with a custom shampoo designed specifically for the Sammy Treatment System (an acidic shampoo of PH 3.2). Before applying the acidic component/ treatment, we will first lower the alkaline levels to a weaker acidity in order to suppress astringency and hair hardening.

  3.  Pre-Treatment Application - Replacing the damage in the hair with a CMC component creates a state in which acidic components can easily react.

  4. Based on the receptiveness of the hair to the pre-treatment and reinforcing solutions, we will repeat and reapply.

  5. Based on the receptiveness of the hair to the pre-treatment and reinforcing solutions, we will repeat and reapply.

  6. Apply main acidic component - We will apply the main acidic component the glyoxylic acid. This will repair the broken bonds in the hair. It is stabilized with heat application, and with repeat treatments it also has a stronger, longer lasting effectiveness.

  7.  Comb Iron - Using the custom low temperature iron will allow the glyoxylic acid to penetrate. The custom plate also helps straightening stubborn hair.

  8.  Treatment without the Comb Iron - We will use a specific hat that allows glyoxylic acid to penetrate. It will be applied for 20 minutes after wrapping the hair.

  9. Treatment - We will apply a treatment containing the heat-reactive ingredient Elcalactone. The heat of the blow dryer / iron binds to the protein inside the hair to repair.

  10. Based on the receptiveness of the hair to the pre-treatment and reinforcing solutions, we will repeat and reapply.

  11. Blow out & Iron - Using a twin brush, heat is thoroughly and gently applied to the hair to shape the hair. Your hair will then be ironed in order to perform dehydration bonding and gently remove excess moisture in the hair.
