Before you begin

For professional use only. Assess the hair's condition, thickness, porosity, elasticity and chemical history before every application. Perform a strand test using the intended protocol before treating the full head.

Processing time, rinsing, flat-iron temperature and number of passes must be selected according to the formula instructions, hair assessment and strand-test results. Hair type alone does not determine suitability.

Do not proceed if the test section shows breakage, excessive fragility or other adverse changes. Contact our technical educator for guidance.
