How to use

1. Wash with the Micellar Prep 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 Cationic Straightening System 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 40 minutes for fine hair, 50 minutes for frizzy hair or 60 minutes for coarse hair.
5. Rinse about 90% of the product, then comb through with a fine-tooth comb to remove any excess.
6. Blow-dry to 80% for fine, sensitive or damaged hair, 90% for medium hair and 100% for coarse or resistant hair.
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. Finish the service with the Endothermic Sealer (Step 3) to seal the cuticle: 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 Xtreme Repair Treatment Serum through the ends.
12. Send her home with the right home care: recommend the Fiberplasty home care to make results last longer.
