tep 1 – Assess the Hair
Before application, evaluate the condition of the hair and scalp.
Check:
Hair strength
Elasticity
Porosity
Previous colouring
Previous bleaching
Previous straightening
Existing breakage
Overall chemical history
Do not proceed if the hair is too compromised for chemical treatment.
Step 2 – Perform a Strand Test
Test the product on a small hidden section before full application.
Observe how the hair responds during processing.
If the test section becomes excessively weak, gummy, stretchy, brittle, or damaged, do not proceed with the full treatment.
Step 3 – Prepare the Hair
Prepare the hair according to the instructions of the complete straightening system.
The preparation requirements may vary depending on the products being used.
Do not substitute or skip required preparation steps.
Step 4 – Section the Hair
Divide the hair into small and manageable sections.
Proper sectioning helps achieve controlled and even product distribution.
Step 5 – Apply Diamond Shine Hair Straightening Cream
Wear suitable protective gloves.
Apply the cream carefully through the required sections, following the manufacturer's application directions.
Avoid unnecessary scalp or skin contact.
Do not excessively overlap onto previously chemically straightened areas.
Step 6 – Process Carefully
Allow the product to process only for the recommended time.
Monitor the condition and elasticity of the hair throughout the service.
Do not extend the processing time in an attempt to achieve stronger results.
Step 7 – Rinse Thoroughly
Once the appropriate processing stage is complete, rinse the hair thoroughly according to the treatment instructions.
Ensure all straightening cream is removed.
Step 8 – Reshape the Hair
Complete any required drying, smoothing, or ironing stage according to the compatible straightening system.
Step 9 – Neutralize
Apply a compatible neutralizing cream according to the system instructions.
Neutralization is an essential part of many chemical straightening processes because it helps stabilize the reshaped hair structure.
Step 10 – Complete the Service
After neutralization, rinse thoroughly and follow with an appropriate conditioner, hair mask, serum, or finishing treatment.
Style the hair as desired.
