Alfaparf Lisse Design Keratin Therapy for Colored Hair
Share
Alfaparf Lisse Design Keratin Therapy is the professional smoothing system that plays nicely with color. It rebuilds the hair shaft, eliminates frizz, and leaves colored hair with the smooth glass finish clients expect, without stripping tone or fading fresh color work. Here is how stylists use it in the chair and how to pair it with Alfaparf color services.
What Lisse Design Does
Lisse Design is a keratin-based smoothing treatment that reduces frizz by up to 95 percent, adds softness, and extends the life of a blowout. The system is formulated to work with colored hair because the keratin fills gaps in the cuticle left by the color process. Clients walk out with smoother, shinier, more manageable hair that is actually stronger than it was when they came in.
- Frizz reduction: Up to 95 percent
- Results last: Up to 3 to 4 months with proper aftercare
- Safe for: Colored, highlighted, chemically treated hair
- Color impact: Minimal fade, can be paired with color services
The Lisse Design System
The treatment runs as a five-step protocol at the shampoo bowl and the station. Each product has a role. Skipping a step shortens the result.
- Deep Cleansing Shampoo: Opens the cuticle, removes buildup
- Rebuilding Mask: Repairs internal structure pre-treatment
- Keratin Therapy: The smoothing agent itself
- Maintenance Shampoo: Sulfate-free, extends the service
- Maintenance Mask: Weekly cuticle seal
Step-By-Step Application
Step 1: Deep Cleanse
Shampoo twice with the Deep Cleansing Shampoo. Rinse and towel dry until damp. The cuticle needs to be open and completely clear of product.
Step 2: Rebuilding Mask
Apply the Rebuilding Mask mid-lengths to ends. Leave 5 minutes. Rinse and towel dry 80 percent.
Step 3: Apply Keratin Therapy
Section into four quadrants. Apply Keratin Therapy in quarter-inch horizontal slices from one inch off the scalp to the ends. Comb through with a fine-tooth comb to distribute evenly.
Step 4: Process
Process for 40 minutes open air. Do not rinse.
Step 5: Blow-Dry and Flat Iron
Blow-dry 100 percent using a round brush for tension. Flat iron in small, quarter-inch sections at 410 to 450 degrees, passing 7 to 10 times per section depending on texture.
Step 6: Rinse and Finish
Rinse thoroughly with warm water only. Apply Maintenance Mask, leave 3 minutes, rinse. Blow-dry to finish.
Color Service Pairing
Clients who color regularly can and should run Lisse Design as part of a full service plan. The order matters.
- Permanent color plus Lisse Design same day: Color first, then Lisse Design. Wait at least 10 days before another color service
- Color-correction client: Run the correction, wait 2 weeks, then do Lisse Design to seal the work
- Balayage client: Lift and tone the same day, wait 2 weeks, then smooth
- Gray coverage client: Safe to do color and Lisse Design back to back
Who Lisse Design Is Built For
- Clients with frizz and curl they want relaxed without eliminating movement
- Colored or highlighted clients who feel their hair is rough post-color
- Humidity-heavy regions where blowouts do not hold
- Thick or coarse textures that resist smooth blow-dry styles
- Extensions clients who want uniform texture
Aftercare That Protects the Investment
Send every client home with the Maintenance Shampoo and Maintenance Mask. Remind them to avoid sulfate shampoos, chlorinated water without cap protection, and salt water for the first 72 hours. Wash no sooner than 48 hours post-service for best longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should you use Alfaparf treatment?
For at-home bond treatments, once a week is standard. In-salon Alfaparf treatments are typically done every 4-8 weeks depending on the level of damage and the specific treatment protocol. Over-treating with protein-heavy products can make hair brittle, so balance protein treatments with moisture treatments.
Can you use Alfaparf with color services?
Many professional treatments are designed to be used during or immediately after color services. Alfaparf products often have in-service options that can be mixed directly into color or lightener formulas. Check the specific product directions for compatibility with chemical services.
What is the difference between bond repair and deep conditioning?
Bond repair treatments (like Olaplex) work inside the hair at the molecular level, rebuilding broken disulfide bonds from chemical damage. Deep conditioners work on the outside, coating the cuticle with moisture, proteins, and oils. Both serve different purposes and should be part of a complete hair care routine.
