HOW TO MIX STRAIGHTENING COMPLEX
FOR FULL HEAD APPLICATION (Virgin Hair)
Pour all the inductor into the straightening cream jar. Mix together with the spatula until color is uniform
and free of lumps. Allow straightening complex to rest 5 minutes.
FOR NEW GROWTH APPLICATION
Using a wooden spatula, be careful to remove exactly half of the straightening cream. Use the line marked <<1/2>>
on the jar. Transfer cream into a separate mixing container, such as a clean, dry plastic bowl. Do not use any metal.
Replace lid, close tightly and save other half of cream for next retouch. Carefully pour half of the inductor
into the bowl containing straightening cream. Use the line marked <<half>> on the bottle as a reference. Close
bottle tightly and save for next retouch. Mix together with spatula until mixture is free of lumps and uniform in
color. Allow straightening complex to rest 5 minutes.
NOTE: Do not prepare complex more than 12 hours prior to use.
TIMING GUIDE
Timing is important to achieve optimal results. Based on the strand test, adjust timing according to the results
obtained.
PLEASE NOTE: Timing starts when application starts. The total time for application and smoothing MUST NOT EXCEED
the maximum time allowed for your hair texture.
NOTE: If hair is porous, the process if faster so reduce the smoothing time.
DO A PRELIMINARY STRAND TEST BEFORE RELAXING
For Hair That Has Not Been Previously Relaxed (Virgin Hair)
Separate a small section of hair near the nape of the neck and evenly apply a small amount of straightening complex.
After 7 minutes, smooth hair gently from the roots to the ends. During the smoothing time, check every 2 minutes
until desired straightness is achieve. Do not leave the straightening complex longer than what is indicated for
your hair type as listed in the Timing Guide Table (see Timing Guide Table).
Rinse the test area thoroughly with clear water. Do not wet rest of the hair. Use Neutralizing Emulsion. Lather
and rinse. Repeat until foam is white. (Refer to Section 7 and 8).
Check the relaxed strand: If the hair shows signs of breakage or scalp irritation, do not proceed with relaxing. (Wait
to have your hair or scalp in better condition to use the product).
If the test strand is not completely relaxed, adjust timing by increasing smoothing time – but do not exceed maximum
time recommended for your type of hair.
IMPORTANT: When proceeding to the full application, do not re-apply relaxer complex to test strand area.
FOR NEW GROWTH (Hair that has been previously relaxed). Use the relaxer complex on a small section of hair near
the nape of the neck only on regrowth and follow the directions above for Strand Test.
APPLICATION OF STRAIGHTENING COMPLEX
PREPARATION
Gently comb out hair to remove tangles using a wide tooth comb. Do not scratch scalp.
Part your hair into four sections: in the middle, from front to back, then from ear to ear.
Apply Pre-Care Balm to skin around hairline (nape of neck, ears and any other sensitive areas). Cover shoulders
with towel or cape and wear protective gloves.
In case the complex gets on the skin, wipe off immediately with a damp towel. Make sure to complete a strand
test first. Start timing as soon as you begin application (See Timing Guide Table above).
APPLICATION Work quickly and efficiently
1. Start application on the back sections of the head to finish by the front sections, save the hairline last (nape
of neck, ears and any other sensitive areas). Make narrow partings, working from lower to upper portion of each
section.
2. Use the back of a wide-tooth comb for the application of the straightening complex. Apply generous amounts
of complex on each parting. Spread the complex evenly away from scalp and down onto strand.
Do not comb through. Don’t rub the cream into the scalp.
3. Apply to hairline last (nape of the neck, behind the ears, forehead, and temples).
FOR NEW GROWTH
1. Avoid over-lapping. Do not apply the complex onto previously relaxed hair.
2. Follow the directions above.
HOW TO SMOOTH HAIR WITH STRAIGHTENING COMPLEX
After finishing application, using the flat side of finger or back of comb, smooth the hair starting where first
applied (on back sections). Continue smoothing, finishing by the front sections. Part thin sections and work with
even and firm strokes from roots to ends. Use more complex if necessary for even coverage, to make straightening
easier. Do not pull or stretch hair. Smooth the hair line last. When recommended smoothing time for your
hair type is complete (see Table) immediately rinse complex thoroughly from hair with clear water.
FOR NEW GROWTH
Avoid over-lapping on previously relaxed hair and gently smooth only new growth. Follow directions above.
HOW TO RINSE
Rinse hair thoroughly with lukewarm water. Be sure to remove all the straightening complex from hair and scalp.
Don’t forget to check ears, nape and forehead. Rinse until water runs clear.
HOW TO USE THE NEUTRALIZING EMULSION
Apply the Neutralizing Emulsion, which simultaneously cleanses and stops the relaxing process. It contains a
color signal which will allow you to see when the neutralization process is finished: at first, foam will be pink
but will gradually turn white. Repeat application of Neutralizing Emulsion until foam becomes white. Repeat
and leave on for 2 minutes and rinse thoroughly.
FOR NEW GROWTH
Follow the directions above. Save half of the Neutralizing Emulsion for a next retouch.
HOW TO CONDITION
Apply the Milky Restructurer on towel dried hair. Distribute throughout hair gently with a wide-tooth comb. Leave
on 5 to 10 minutes. Rinse well. Towel dry and style.
