Hair Food US6 Terroir Silky PPT treatment 500 ml for colour and perms

Hair Food US6 Terroir Silky is a PPT product from the Korean manufacturer Medici Korea Cosmetic for working on coloured and permed hair. It is not a Beati product: different brand, different way of using it. The full name on the bottle is Terroir Silky P.P.T Healing, from the US6 Unique Style line marked Color, Clinic and Perm - the maker designed it for colour, treatment services and perms.

Hydrolyzed collagen comes first in the formula, followed by hydrolyzed wheat gluten and hydrolyzed keratin, plus glycerin, panthenol and betaine. The maker says that low- and high-molecular-weight keratin together with collagen replenish both the cuticle and the cortex, help damaged hair, give a perm more spring, volume and shine, and give coloured hair richer colour with less fading. All of this is the maker's own claim; it does not publish test results for the product.

What makes it useful is that one bottle fits into several stages of a service. You apply it as a pre-treatment, add about 10 g to colour, bleach or the perm neutraliser, dilute it with water to even out the hair before a service, or use it in a treatment under a cap.

How it differs from the Beati care range. Beati masks - Silk, Premium, Moisture and the leave-in Return - are separate care steps: you apply them before, during or after a service and rinse them out or leave them in. Following the maker's instructions, Hair Food PPT also works as an additive to the chemistry itself: it is mixed straight into colour, bleach and neutraliser. For a stylist it does not replace a mask - it is a tool for the service itself.

Who it is for

• Digital and chemical perm specialists: pre-treating damaged areas and adding to the neutraliser.
• Colourists: an additive for colour and bleach.
• Salons offering heat-assisted treatment services.
• Hair damaged by colour, bleach and perms.

FAQ

Is this a Beati product?

No. The brand is Hair Food, made by Medici Korea Cosmetic. It sits next to Beati care in our catalogue because it is used in the same services.

Does it need to be rinsed out?

It depends on the routine: in a treatment service it is rinsed out, while as a pre-treatment or an additive to colour or neutraliser it works as part of the service.

How long does it keep?

36 months from the date of manufacture, which is printed on the bottle.

The maker's routines:

• Pre-treatment before colour and perms: apply to damaged areas, massage in, process under heat for 10 minutes or leave for 5 minutes without heat, then start the service.
• Colour and bleach: mix about 10 g thoroughly into the colour or bleach.
• Perm neutraliser (second solution): add about 10 g to the neutraliser bottle. According to the maker, this boosts shine and curl spring and helps neutralise alkalinity.
• Evening out the hair (pH balance): dilute 100 ml of product in 400 ml of purified water. Before colour or coating services, apply and dry completely. For perms, apply to damaged areas before the service; after the test curl, apply the solution and then the neutraliser.
• Treatment: apply to damaged areas with the hair about 30% damp, put on a cap, process under heat for 10 minutes or leave for 5 minutes, and rinse.

The maker's precautions: do not use on broken or irritated skin, rinse immediately if it gets in the eyes, and stop using it if redness or itching appears. Keep tightly closed at room temperature, out of direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
