Diamond Shine Hair Straightening Cream 500ml ( Extra Strong )

Diamond Shine Hair Straightening Cream 500ml (Extra Strong) is designed for professional straightening services where ordinary smoothing products may not provide enough control for highly resistant hair.

The cream works during the chemical straightening process to alter the structure responsible for the hair's existing curl or wave pattern, allowing the stylist to reshape the hair into a straighter configuration.

When used correctly as part of the appropriate straightening and neutralizing system, it helps create a smoother, more uniform appearance while reducing the visual bulk associated with strong curls, waves, and frizz.

The creamy consistency allows professional stylists to distribute the product section by section, helping achieve controlled coverage across the required areas.

Its Diamond Shine concept is focused not only on straightening but also on creating a sleek, polished appearance so the finished hair looks smoother and more reflective rather than simply flattened.

Extra Strong Straightening Performance

The Extra Strong designation is particularly important.

This variant is intended for hair that is sufficiently healthy and resistant to require a more intensive straightening treatment.

It may be considered for:

Coarse hair
Resistant natural hair
Strong curl patterns
Very wavy hair
Thick hair
Difficult-to-straighten textures
Hair with substantial natural volume
Hair that does not respond sufficiently to milder straightening systems

Extra Strong does not automatically mean it is appropriate for every hair type.

Fine, fragile, extensively bleached, highly porous, severely damaged, previously overprocessed, or chemically compromised hair may require a milder system or may not be suitable for chemical straightening at all.

A professional hair assessment and strand test should be performed before proceeding.

Step 1 – Consultation and Hair Analysis

Before applying any chemical product, examine the client's hair and scalp.

Determine:

Hair texture • Density • Porosity • Elasticity • Damage level • Previous chemical services • Existing straightened areas • Bleaching history • Color history • Scalp condition.

This evaluation helps determine whether the Extra Strong formula is appropriate.

Step 2 – Perform Required Tests

Carry out the recommended patch/sensitivity assessment and strand test before full application.

Do not skip the strand test simply because the client has previously undergone straightening.

Hair condition can change between services.

Step 3 – Prepare the Hair

Follow the specific cleansing instructions provided with the straightening system.

The official guidance recommends cleansing with a mild shampoo and towel-drying until the hair remains slightly damp.

Do not aggressively scratch or irritate the scalp before chemical straightening.

Step 4 – Protect the Client

Use an appropriate salon cape, gloves, towels, and protective materials.

Protect the client's skin around the hairline where appropriate according to professional technique.

Prevent the chemical straightening cream from unnecessarily contacting the face, eyes, ears, or irritated scalp areas.

Step 5 – Section the Hair

Divide the hair into small, controlled sections.

Smaller sections make it easier to distribute the cream evenly and monitor processing.

Common professional sectioning includes dividing the hair into four or more workable zones depending on density and length.

Step 6 – Apply the Straightening Cream

Wear suitable protective gloves.

Apply the cream carefully and evenly to the sections requiring straightening.

Use controlled professional application rather than saturating the hair unnecessarily.

Follow product-specific guidance regarding the distance from the scalp.

Avoid applying straightening chemicals directly onto sensitive scalp tissue unless specifically required and permitted by the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 7 – Avoid Overlapping Previously Straightened Hair

For retouch services, concentrate the product only on suitable new growth according to professional directions.

Repeated chemical processing over already straightened lengths can substantially increase the risk of dryness, weakness, and breakage.

Precise application is therefore particularly important during maintenance services.

Step 8 – Distribute Evenly

Ensure the intended hair is coated consistently.

Work carefully through each section without excessive pulling.

Do not aggressively comb fragile processing hair.

Step 9 – Monitor Processing

The official product guidance lists approximately 20–30 minutes, depending on hair thickness and curl level.

However, this should never be treated as a universal fixed time.

Continuously assess the hair and follow the maximum processing instructions supplied with the product.

Coarse hair can still become damaged if overprocessed.

Never exceed the prescribed maximum processing time in an attempt to obtain straighter results.

Step 10 – Check the Hair

Professional stylists should periodically evaluate the processing response according to their approved straightening technique.

Observe whether the curl structure has relaxed sufficiently without compromising the integrity of the hair.

If the hair shows abnormal weakness or deterioration, proceed according to the manufacturer's safety instructions immediately.

Step 11 – Rinse Thoroughly

Once appropriate processing has been achieved, rinse the straightening cream thoroughly from the hair according to the system instructions.

Use the specified water temperature.

Continue rinsing until the chemical product has been completely removed.

Incomplete rinsing can interfere with subsequent stages.

Step 12 – Neutralize Correctly

Use the matching or otherwise confirmed-compatible neutralizing product required by the straightening system.

Neutralization is a critical chemical step in many permanent straightening systems.

Do not casually substitute an ordinary conditioner for a required neutralizer.

Apply and process the neutralizer exactly according to the manufacturer's directions.

Correct neutralization helps stabilize the chemically reshaped hair structure.

Step 13 – Rinse Again

After the required neutralizing stage, rinse thoroughly according to the system instructions.

Make sure no unnecessary product residue remains.

Step 14 – Condition the Hair

Apply an appropriate post-chemical conditioner or treatment if recommended.

This can help improve:

Softness • Combability • Smoothness • Moisture feel • Surface condition.

Step 15 – Dry the Hair

Gently remove excess moisture.

Blow-dry using controlled heat and professional technique.

Avoid unnecessary pulling or overheating.

Step 16 – Straighten and Finish Where Directed

Where required by the product system, use a professional flat iron at an appropriate temperature for the client's hair condition.

Work in small sections.

Do not automatically use the highest temperature.

The goal is controlled finishing, not excessive heat exposure.

Step 17 – Final Inspection

Inspect the finished hair for:

Straightness • Smoothness • Even texture • Shine • Ends • Client comfort • Overall condition.

Apply suitable finishing products if required.
