How To Use:
1. Preparation:
- Wear Gloves: Protect your hands with gloves throughout the process.
- Do a Strand Test: Test a small section of hair to check for potential reactions and determine optimal processing time.
- Section Your Hair: Divide hair into four parts to ensure an even application.
2. Mixing the Relaxer:
- Follow the instructions on the relaxer kit for mixing the relaxer cream with the activator (if separate). Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
3. Applying the Relaxer:
- Apply to New Growth: Start from the back and move toward the front, applying relaxer to new growth or virgin hair. Avoid the scalp and previously relaxed hair.
- Distribute Evenly: Use an applicator brush or gloved fingers to ensure the relaxer is evenly distributed across each section.
4. Smoothing and Timing:
- Smooth the Hair: Gently smooth each section with your fingers or the back of a comb to help the relaxer penetrate.
- Set a Timer: Use the timing guide on the product for recommended processing time (typically 10–15 minutes for normal strength). Do not exceed this time to prevent over-processing.
5. Rinsing the Relaxer:
- Rinse hair thoroughly with warm water until the relaxer is completely removed. Rinse for several minutes to ensure no residue remains.
6. Neutralizing Shampoo:
- Apply Neutralizer: Wash hair with the included neutralizing shampoo to halt the chemical process.
- Repeat: Shampoo at least twice, continuing until the lather shows no pink (if color indicator is present).
7. Conditioning:
- Apply a deep conditioner, like the ORS Olive Oil Replenishing Conditioner, to restore moisture and nourish hair. Leave in for 10–15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
8. Final Steps and Styling:
- Towel Dry: Gently pat hair dry with a towel. Avoid rough drying to prevent breakage.
- Apply Leave-In or Styling Products: For added moisture, apply a leave-in conditioner or styling product.
- Style as Desired: You can now style your hair as usual.
Important Tips:
- Avoid washing or scratching your scalp 24–48 hours before applying the relaxer.
- Perform a strand test to gauge processing time accurately.
- Do not overlap relaxer on previously relaxed hair to avoid damage.
