How to use

1. Wash with the Ultra Gold Detox Shampoo (Step 1) and towel-dry until hair is clean and slightly damp, so it absorbs more product.
2. 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.
3. Apply the Ultra Gold Straightening Solution (Step 2) from root to tip, starting at the nape and working upward, and comb through with a fine-tooth comb.
4. Cover with a shower cap and leave on for 15 to 20 minutes.
5. Do not rinse. Comb through with a fine-tooth comb to remove all excess product.
6. Blow-dry thoroughly, to 100%, then finish with a blast of cool air to reduce smoke when ironing.
7. Flat iron the same 4 sections in even thinner strands, at the temperature and number of passes for the hair type (guide below).
8. At the first wash, which can be the same day, finish with the Ultra Gold Reinforcing Mask (Step 3): leave on for 10 minutes, then rinse.
9. Optional: mist the Master Touch Keratin Sealing Spray to seal the cuticle.
10. Blow-dry and style as desired.
11. Seal the ends: on the finished hair, smooth a few drops of the Argan Revitalizing Oil Premium through the ends.
12. Send her home with the right home care: recommend the Organic Premium Home Care Bundle to make results last longer.
