Yes, follow these steps to use K18 with a relaxer service:

1. Section dry hair into 4 quadrants.

2. Apply a minimum of 10 full sprays of K18 professional molecular repair hair mist to each quadrant, increasing up to 20 sprays per quadrant as needed, depending on client’s length, density, or level of damage.
