STEP 1 – STRAIGHTENING
A – PREPARATION:
- Do not wash hair for at least 3 days before the application of GOLD BLACK STRAIGHTENING CREAM, thus shielding it with the protective action of the scalp’s natural oils. Make sure before you start the process that hair does not have residue of finishing products (creams, silicone, etc.) or pool chlorine;
- Remove earrings and rings before application;
- Place contents of the GOLD BLACK STRAIGHTENING CREAM tube in a non metallic bowl;
- Place a towel over your shoulders. Comb all of hair thoroughly, separating it into thin strands or in 6 parts. Use plastic hairclips to keep them well separated and untangled.
B1 – First Application
- Put on gloves;
- Apply straightening cream with a brush, strand by strand, in the direction of growth (from root to tips), without combing hair, while avoiding bending hair in the opposite direction, which can lead to breakage;
- Keep a distance of 1 cm from the root, to avoid contact of the cream with the scalp;
- Application should start at the neck and go towards the front;
- Do not apply product to the strand from the Strand Test again, protect it with aluminum foil.
C – TIME OF APPLICATION AND TIME OF ACTION
The time of application of the product on all of hair should not exceed 5 minutes. Control this time from the application to the first strand. When finished with the application of the cream, return to neck (the starting place) and with the back of a non-metallic comb, gently straighten each strand without pulling on it, without pressure and without bending it in the opposite direction. Do this in the direction of growth (from root to tips), not exceeding the 5 minute time for this process.
After straightening hair, let the product act for the time needed, as indicated in the table below. During this period, let your hair rest. Do not cover head with plastic, towels, aluminum shower caps or other materials that may generate heat.
