Key ingredients
Aloe vera leaf juice and panthenol (provitamin B5). pH 6.5 to 7.5.
How to use
- Wash with the Pre-Treatment Shampoo (Step 1) and towel-dry until hair is clean and slightly damp, so it absorbs more product.
- Divide hair into 4 sections (top, left and right temples, nape) and work each section in 3 thin strands, so every strand is fully coated.
- Apply the Organic Keratin System (Step 2) from root to tip, starting at the nape and working upward, and comb through with a fine-tooth comb.
- Cover with a shower cap and leave on for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Do not rinse. Comb through with a fine-tooth comb to remove all excess product.
- Blow-dry thoroughly, to 100%, then finish with a blast of cool air to reduce smoke when ironing.
- Flat iron the same 4 sections in even thinner strands, at the temperature and number of passes for the hair type (guide below).
- At the first wash, which can be the same day, finish with the Post-Treatment Mask (Step 3): leave on for 10 minutes, then rinse.
- Optional: mist the Master Touch Keratin Sealing Spray to seal the cuticle.
- Blow-dry and style as desired.
- Seal the ends: on the finished hair, smooth a few drops of the Argan Revitalizing Oil through the ends.
- Send her home with the right home care: recommend the Organic Classic home care to make results last longer.
