Shake KERASUAVE bottle well. Measure and pour 2 – 3 ounces of treatment depending on hair length and density. Allow product to aerate for 10 – 15 minutes as the client’s hair is cleansed with Keratin Complex Clarifying Shampoo. Blow-dry 100% as described in instructions below. Do NOT pour product back into bottle after application is completed. Discard any remaining product.
The pH-elevating KERASUAVE Shampoo Clarifying Shampoo properly opens the cuticle in preparation for treatment to ensure optimal results. Shampoo as follows: • 2 times for bleached blonde, double-processed, chemically processed or 70% or more highlighted hair • 2 times for normal, single-process color-treated and 50% or less highlighted hair • 3 times for virgin, coarse, resistant, or gray hair We recommend allowing 50% of the lather to remain in the hair after the first shampoo. Do not completely rinse the lather out; instead, continue by adding more Keratin Complex Clarifying Shampoo each time. In order to better achieve lather, add water. Rinse completely after the final shampoo.
1. Rough dry using fingers.
2. Blow-dry the hair 100% using a medium heat setting. We recommend using a Keratin Complex Heat Therapy Dryer; ensure the positive ion (blue light) setting is on to keep the cuticle open during blow-drying.
Gloves should be worn during application.
1. Divide the hair into 6 sections.
2. Starting at the nape of the neck, part the hair into ½-inch sub-sections.
3. Use a tint brush to apply KERASUAVE Begin application 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch off the scalp through to the ends of the hair, working toward the top of the head. Comb away from the face using a fine-tooth comb to ensure the product is evenly distributed.
4. Continue combing for even distribution and to remove any excess product from the hair. Less is best.
5. When treatment has been thoroughly distributed through the hair, cover hair with a plastic cap and allow product to absorb at room temperature for 30 minutes. DO NOT RINSE.
Oversaturation occurs, the hair will appear greasy, flaky and heavy, and it will be harder to blow-dry and flat iron. Comb the hair thoroughly with a fine-tooth comb to ensure even product distribution. If oversaturation has occurred, use a fine-tooth comb to remove excess product. Oversaturating the hair may also cause sensory irritation. Continue combing hair until no excess residue remains on the comb, wiping excess product onto a towel. When applying the treatment, you will notice that the first areas of application may appear dry. This means the cuticle has absorbed the treatment. It is not necessary to reapply, as this will cause oversaturation
This is a critical step in achieving optimal blow-dry and flat iron results.
1. After 30 minutes, remove cap. Using a fine-tooth comb, comb the hair thoroughly away from the face to ensure even distribution of product.
2. Wipe any excess product onto a towel.
1. Before blow-drying, section the hair into 6 sections.
2. Blow-dry the hair (using the concentration nozzle) one section at a time on a cool dryer setting.
3. Blow-dry the hair until 80% dry using only fingers, and then finish using a Keratin Complex vent brush. We recommend using a Keratin Complex Heat Therapy Dryer; ensure the negative ion (green light) setting is on to seal the cuticle during blow-drying. Hair must be 100% dry before flat ironing
This is the most important phase of the smoothing treatment. It is recommended that you use a Keratin Complex Heat Therapy Iron, along with the Keratin Complex Root Refiner Taming + Smoothing Tool if the hair is especially coarse or unruly. You may also use a professional titanium flat iron that heats up to 450°F. IMPORTANT: Flat iron temperatures should be adjusted based on the client’s hair type. At extremely high temperatures, a flat iron can be damaging to the hair. Follow the guidelines below and use your professional judgment when selecting an iron temperature. Keep the flat iron in continuous motion to avoid heat damage or kinks in the hair. If the ends of the hair are severely damaged or split, cautiously go over the ends fewer times to prevent further damage. Always have a heat-resistant comb in front of the iron to provide tension.
1. Replace the client’s towel.
2. Section the hair into 6 sections.
3. Starting at the nape of the neck, flat iron 1/8-inch sub-section partings (sections should be thin enough that you can see through the section). “Tap, tap, tap” the iron at the root area first, then follow through from root to end. Use light tension on the ends to help smooth the root area.
400° – 410°F (204° – 210°C): Double-processed, overprocessed, damaged, fine, gray, or platinum blonde hair. Start with the lowest temperature of 400°F; you can go up to 410°F if needed. Pass the iron over each section 7 – 10 times from root to end.
410° – 430°F (210° – 221°C): Color-treated, chemically processed or highlighted hair. Start with the lowest temperature of 410°F; you can increase the temperature to 430°F if needed. Pass the iron over each section 7 – 10 times from root to end.
430° – 450°F (221° – 232°C): Virgin, coarse or resistant hair. Pass the iron over each section 10 – 12 times from root to end
