How to use the TCB® RELAXER straightener: Apply to a few strands of hair (from the roots to the tips). Allow the relaxer to act according to the time guide, DO NOT LEAVE MORE TIME THAN INDICATED IN THE CHART. After this time, rinse the area where you applied the relaxer and then apply the neutralizing shampoo. Allow this area to dry and check that it is soft. If the hair breaks or signs of damage appear, DO NOT use it until the hair is healthy. At that point, perform the strand test again. NOTE: For touch-ups, follow steps 1-3, but only apply to hair that has grown since the last application.

STEP 1/ APPLICATION AND SMOOTHING: Apply protective gel around the hairline, neck and surrounding skin area and separate the hair into 4 equal parts: With protective gloves on, begin the application at the nape of the neck, as close to the scalp as possible. Continue the application in thin sections towards the forehead, finishing the application at the hairline. After completing the application, begin smoothing the back of the neck where the relaxer was first applied. Smooth with several massages and successively continue with the other sections following the pattern in which the cream was applied. Repeat the procedure for all other sections. If you feel any discomfort or stinging during the indicated time, immediately remove the relaxer with water.

STEP 2/RINSE: Once hair is relaxed, thoroughly rinse hair product with warm water until all traces of relaxer are removed.

STEP 3/NEUTRALIZE: Keep hair straight. Do not manipulate hair while shampooing. Apply 2-3 times neutralizing shampoo (non-alkaline, pH equal to 7 or less than 7). After shampooing with neutralizing shampoo, apply conditioner.
