APPLICATION NOTES Hair Color: Liquid Keratin Professional Restorative Smoothing Treatment can cause a slight lift of hair color and therefore it is recommended to perform this service prior to the client s color service. Scent: There is no scent to the treatment or when applying the treatment, however some customers will experience a chemical scent when hair is wet during the first few washes. This scent will lessen with each wash and will usually be gone completely by the 4th wash. When hair is dry, there is no scent at all. The extent of this chemical scent completely dependent on hair type. Steam/Smoke: You will notice some steam during the process. This is due to the treatment formula being aqueous (water based). This steam has no scent and will not burn the eyes, nose or throat. Again, the amount of steam present during the process is hair type dependent. As well, applying too much product or the hair being too wet prior to application will produce more steam. For the least amount of steam, towel dry hair until 80% - 90% dry and use just enough product to coat the hair, use a fine tooth comb to remove excess product, if necessary. After Care: Use Liquid Keratin Infusing Healthy Hair De-Frizz Shampoo, Liquid Keratin Infusing Deep De-Frizz Conditioner and Liquid Keratin Filling Leave-In Conditioner every time hair is washed for longest lasting results. These products do not contain sodium chloride. Sodium chloride will diminish the effects of the treatment very quickly. Liquid Keratin shampoo, conditioner and leave-in conditioner are specially formulated to be used with all Liquid Keratin Treatments, therefore enhancing and prolonging the treatments results. Remember: Liquid Keratin Professional Restorative Smoothing Treatment is a progressive treatment, with improved results with subsequent applications. P R O F E S S I O N A L
