How would I use it before a relaxer service?Updated a year ago

  1. Section dry hair into 4 quadrants.
  2. Apply 6-10 sprays of K18 pro chelating hair complex per quadrant*.
  3. Wait 4 minutes after chelating (do not rinse out), then 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, and level of damage.
  4. Wait 4 minutes (do not rinse out) and if needed, dry the hair prior to beginning relaxer application.
  5. Apply + process relaxer as usual, then rinse thoroughly.
  6. Towel dry hair, then re-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, and level of damage.
  7. Wait 4 minutes (do not rinse), then follow with neutralizing shampoo. Do not condition.
  8. Towel dry thoroughly, then apply 1-3 pumps of K18 professional molecular repair hair mask based on your client’s length and density, starting at the ends and working up towards the roots.
  9. Wait 4 minutes (do not rinse), then apply a small amount of K18 DAMAGE SHIELD protective conditioner from mid-lengths to ends. Build as needed.
  10. Rinse thoroughly, then towel dry hair and apply 1-3 drops of K18 molecular repair hair oil to mid-lengths and ends.
  11. Wait 4 minutes, then proceed with cut or style as usual.
  12. Add an additional 1-3 drops of K18 molecular repair hair oil to dry hair as a finisher.

*For cases of extreme mineral buildup, process K18 pro chelating hair complex for up to 10 minutes, then rinse and shampoo with K18 PEPTIDE PREP™ detox shampoo. Dry hair as needed, then proceed with the instructions.
