1. CLIENT CONSULTATION

We always recommend that you begin with asking questions about hair traits, hair concerns, chemical history, desired results and client’s committment (Service maintenance requires committment from the client) to help you determine the best steps moving forward with your treatment service.

2. PREPARE THE HAIR

Using an Anti-Residue Clarifying Shampoo, gently shampoo the hair twice, and towel dry the hair very well. Remove the remaining moisture using a blow dryer. SEE DRYING TABLE

IMPORTANT: For overprocessed/fragile or blonde hair - shampoo with a Silk Touch System Shampoo only, for all other hair types shampoo once with Anti-Residue Clarifying Shampoo.

3. SECTION THE HAIR

Wear protective gloves and use a comb to divide hair, sectioning from the forehead to the nape and from ear to ear to create 4 sections. Start with the section at the back of the neck.

4. TREATMENT APPLICATION

SHAKE WELL BEFORE USE. Start with 1-2 oz., adding more to your bowl as needed, depending on the hair length and texture. Take your first 1/4” section starting at the nape, horizontal to your parting. Starting 1/8” from the root, apply a thin layer, saturating evenly to the ends. Continue until all hair is completely saturated with product.

5. PROCESSING TIME

Process the keratin for 20-35 min. w/plastic cap. Comb the hair every 5 minutes while processing; this important step will evenly distribute the product throughout the hair and ensure the smoothest results. SEE APPLICATION TABLE

6. RINSE

Rinse the product completely from the hair with warm water for 10-15 seconds and towel dry.
SEE APPLICATION TABLE

7. BLOW DRY

Apply a few drops of Silk Touch System Serum to protect the ends. Using a Vent Brush blow dry the hair 100% smooth.

EXPERT TIP: For clients with gray, resistant or heavily highlighted hair - allow the hair to completely cool prior to flat ironing to avoid color shift or lift.

8. FLAT IRON

Before using the flat iron, make sure the hair is completely dry. Use a comb to divide the hair, sectioning from the forehead to the nape and from ear to ear to create 4 sections. Adjust the temperature of the flat iron by testing it on the first strand and start from the section at the back of the neck. SEE TEMPERATURE TABLE

EXPERT TIP 1: When using the flat iron, it is recommended to make between 10-12 passes, or until the hair is silky and smooth.

EXPERT TIP 2: Pay close attention to the root area during ironing as it often has more texture or frizz. If the client’s hair is compromised, fine, or heavily processed, keep the iron temperature setting low. If the client has virgin, coarse, very dense, or heavily textured hair, raise the temperature gradually up to 410˚F to 450˚F

9. FINISHING

To add moisture and smooth any fly-aways, you may add a few drops of Silk Touch System Serum for a polished finish. (Optional)
