Borabella Smoothing Treatments Compared: Não Chore Mais, Perfecta, Selagem 3D or Perfeitox?
Borabella makes four professional options that are easy to mix up: Não Chore Mais, Perfecta Bio Definitive, Selagem 3D Brilho and Perfeitox. Here's the short answer. Choose Não Chore Mais for a classic two-step service (clarifying shampoo, then the smoothing formula). Choose Perfecta for a single-step service with a clear cream base. Choose Selagem 3D when gloss and color-conscious care matter most, on hair up to blonde level 8. And choose Perfeitox as a heat-activated treatment for frizz control and gloss, including between services. All four are for professional use, and every service starts with a strand test.
The short version
- Classic prep-then-smooth protocol: the Não Chore Mais kit (Step 1 shampoo + Step 2 formula).
- One step, clear cream, no toning pigments: Perfecta Bio Definitive.
- Maximum gloss with color-conscious pigments: Selagem 3D Brilho, never on level 9 or lighter.
- Frizz control and gloss from a jar, also for maintenance: Perfeitox.
- After any of them: NeutraQuimic as the final step, then gentle home care.
Why these four are so easy to confuse
Borabella is a Brazilian professional haircare brand built around smoothing services for salons. Its four best-known options share the same building blocks, amino acids and hyaluronic acid, and all four are finished with heat, following the professional protocol. What really separates them is the format, the number of steps and how each formula handles color, so that's what this guide compares, using only what Borabella states and what the labels show. (A quick translation helps too: Não Chore Mais means “cry no more” in Portuguese, selagem means “sealing” and brilho means “shine.”)
Borabella was the brand our customers ordered most over the past 30 days, with the United States, France and Switzerland ordering it most. Perfecta is the single Borabella smoothing product ordered most, and the Não Chore Mais line, counting its kits, is ordered even more often.
Side by side: what each label and brand sheet says
| Não Chore Mais | Perfecta | Selagem 3D | Perfeitox | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Format | Smoothing formula, alone or in a kit with its Step 1 shampoo | Single-step smoothing and thermal realignment | Gloss sealant | Heat-activated treatment system in a jar |
| Sizes | 90 ml, 350 ml, 1 L (kit: 350 ml or 1 L each) | 90 ml, 350 ml, 1 L | 90 ml, 350 ml, 1 L | 300 g, 1 kg |
| Color in the formula | Label lists violet and blue colorants | Clear cream, no purple or toning pigments | “Dual Color” pigments for dark tones and blondes | Not stated |
| Blonde guidance | Strand test first, especially on blondes | Strand test first; suits color routines | Up to level 8 only | Strand test first on bleached hair |
| Brand highlights | Amino acids, hyaluronic acid, silk protein, coconut and ojon oils | 12 oils, 19 amino acids, hyaluronic acid | 19 amino acids, keratin, silk protein, hyaluronic acid, macadamia oil | 19 amino acids, 12 oils, hyaluronic acid, lactic acid, tamarind |
| Heat to finish | ✓ per package | ✓ flat iron | ✓ per protocol | ✓ dryer + flat iron |
| Professional use | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
Two details are easy to miss. The Não Chore Mais and Selagem 3D labels list violet and blue colorants, while Perfecta has no toning pigments, which matters if your colorist wants full control over tone. And Borabella says Selagem 3D must not be used on level 9 or lighter: very light blonde or white hair.
Which one is for you? Five quick questions
- Is this a full smoothing service, or care between services?Full service: keep going.Between services: Perfeitox in the salon, CauterGloss about every 20 days (Borabella's guidance), and a post-chemical routine at home.
- Is the hair level 9 or lighter, or white?Yes: skip Selagem 3D. The strand test decides what else suits it.No: all four stay open.
- Does the color routine need a base without toning pigments?Yes: Perfecta.No: next question.
- Is maximum gloss on dark or colored hair the priority?Yes: Selagem 3D.No: next question.
- Do you prefer a separate clarifying step, or are you buying for a salon?Yes: the Não Chore Mais kit, or the Blowout Kit with three 1 L bottles.One step is enough: Perfecta.
Borabella labels all four as professional products: gloves, a ventilated room, no contact with scalp or eyes. Not trained? Book a stylist and bring this guide along.

See PerfeitoxService day: the checklist around the treatment
Whichever formula you choose, the steps around it matter just as much. Borabella's guidance:
- Before: strand test and skin sensitivity test, especially on fine, bleached or previously treated hair, and never on an irritated scalp.
- Read the package: timing, rinsing and flat-iron directions come from the protocol printed on the unit you received, and packaging may be in Portuguese.
- During: careful sectioning, keeping the formula away from the scalp.
- Final step: NeutraQuimic, which Borabella recommends after Perfecta and Selagem 3D to help rebalance pH.
- After each wash: blow-dry while aligning the strands with a brush or comb.
- Every ~20 days: CauterGloss to refresh shine and softness, and avoid long swims in pools or the sea.
Borabella
NeutraQuimic pH Neutralizer
The finishing product Borabella designed for after straightening, coloring or bleaching services, to help rebalance the pH of hair and scalp. The brand also says it helps neutralize the smell some hair gives off when wet after acid-based smoothing. It is a professional step, not a shampoo. In 90 ml or 500 ml.
See NeutraQuimicKeeping the finish at home
After the salon, gentle washing and daily conditioning do most of the work; our smoothing aftercare guide covers the first days and the weekly routine. To stay with Borabella, there's a home-care kit made for exactly this stage that's easy to overlook.
Borabella
DayUSE Post-Chemical Home Care Kit
A shampoo and a mask designed for daily care of chemically processed hair, after progressive treatments, coloring or bleaching. Borabella highlights argan oil, arginine, panthenol and keratin for hydration, softness and shine. Leave the mask on for 5 to 7 minutes, rinse, then blow-dry.

The 90 ml bottles of Não Chore Mais, Perfecta and Selagem 3D are a smaller way to get to know a formula; 350 ml and 1 L suit salons. For a full setup, the Professional Brazilian Blowout Kit combines the Step 1 shampoo, the Não Chore Mais formula and Selagem 3D, 1 L each.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use these treatments at home?
Borabella labels all four for professional use, so if you're not trained, have a stylist do the service. At home, focus on maintenance: gentle washing, a post-chemical kit such as DayUSE and a heat-protecting leave-in.
Which one suits blonde hair?
Selagem 3D is designed for blondes up to level 8, never level 9 or lighter. Perfecta has a clear base without toning pigments. Either way, a strand test comes first, especially on bleached hair; individual results vary.
Do I really need NeutraQuimic?
Borabella recommends it as the final step after Perfecta and Selagem 3D, to help rebalance pH. Your stylist will know if your service calls for it.
Can I apply them over a treatment from another brand?
Perfecta and Selagem 3D are positioned as compatible with other brands and previous chemical services, but the strand test is mandatory.
