Steaming or Singeing?
When the hair is steaming, there
will be a slight product odor and
white steam— this is normal.
When the hair is singeing, there
will be a strong odor and light to
dark "smoke". You can tell the
hair is overly straightened when
the hair frazzles and possibly
discolors.
WARNING: DO NOT TRY TO
STRAIGHTEN DAMAGED HAIR!
Chemically Treated Hair
1. Use CAUTION when straighten-
ing chemically treated,
colored, or permed hair.
2. Cut down the time used for
straightening chemically
treated, colored, or permed
hair.
3. Smaller sections are better for
thick or resistant hair.
STYLING
1. Divide hair into sections before
starting.
2. Know desired straightening
time before straightening hair.
3. Section hair and begin straight-
ening in the back nape area.
Frazzled Hair
Over-straightening can frazzle hair!
The hair will appear smooth, but some
strands will form kinks, unlike the
natural curl of the hair.
This is the first sign of hair damage.
Discontinue straightening
immediately.
