How to Use Cuticle Opening Wet hair and apply Intensive Clean Shampoo, thoroughly massaging from roots to ends. Rinse and repeat the shampoo application two more times, massaging thoroughly each time. During the last application, leave shampoo on for up to 20 minutes, checking for cuticle opening. Rinse thoroughly and blow-dry hair 100% with hot air from roots to ends. Mask Application Divide hair into four sections: from forehead to nape and ear to ear. Use a comb and brush to apply the product in sections, working from top to bottom. After applying the product throughout the hair, use cool air to dry 80-100% of the hair to evaporate alcohol and avoid any irritation. Alignment Process Divide the treated section into thin strands. Holding a flat iron, position a comb in front, and slowly glide from roots to ends, repeating three times per strand. Repeat on the entire applied area or each strand to be sealed. Cuticle Sealing For cuticle sealing, use both a wide and a narrow, high-quality flat iron with high heat and a tight closing fit. Work in fine strands, using both irons consecutively from roots to ends, slowly up to 15 times per section. Repeat this process on each section of hair, completing one area at a time. Tips for Optimal Results Tip 1: For a flawless finish, hair must be thoroughly flat-ironed from roots to ends. Tip 2: For blonde hair, limit flat iron temperature to 180ºC to 200ºC. Tip 3: For hair to be bleached, complete the bleaching process first, followed by sealing and toning. Tip 4: For retouching dark colors, apply color after cuticle sealing. For lighter colors (level 8 - light blonde and above), apply color before cuticle sealing. Note for Guanidine and Sodium Hydroxide Treatments Wait one week before applying this product due to scalp sensitivity. Washing Instructions After completing cuticle sealing on the entire hair, wait 5 minutes and wash hair with Portier Home Care Shampoo and Conditioner. Comb and blow-dry hair. Tip: If hair is dry due to previous chemical treatments, use Portier Post-Chemical Maintenance Mask instead of conditioner. Kit Contains 1 Intensive Clean Shampoo 1 Cacao Thermo Smoothing Mask
