Processing

Heat Infusion Process
Once the blow dry has been completed. Sub-divide the hair back into 4 sections.
- Turn your straightening irons to the selected heat temperature.
- Start at the nape by using 1/4-1/2 inch sub-sections. (Your sections should be fine enough for you to see your hands through each section taken). With hair that is identified as resistant, start your passes at the most resistant area first.
- Pass straightening irons through the hair with a slow steady pace using a tail comb. For the perfect first pass, iron the hair from roots to ends in one smooth motion leaving the hair to cool for 2 seconds (when working on hair that has been previously treated reduce heat temperature for mid-length and ends).
- Continue ironing using the recommended heat setting and number of passes.
- Ends will often need less passes.
-
For an ultimate final finish, iron the hair once at 180°C / 360°F in large sections.
