HOW-TO STEPS

• 

  
  1

  Determine hair condition and type (porosity, texture and previous chemical services).
  
  Gently cleanse hair using CHI Infra Shampoo, rinse and blot dry with towel.
  
  Divide hair into 4 quadrants (follow natural parting/growth).

  Note: Spray small amount of CHI Silk Keratin Mist on multi porous parts of the hair and leave in.

• 

  
  2

  Start the application from the back quadrants (most resistant/curliest area).

  Take 1/4 inch horizontal sections and comb the section.

  Wearing gloves, begin to apply on damp hair a generous amountof CHI Quick Smoothing Cream with your brush.

  Stay 1/8 inch away from scalp.

  Don’t apply against the natural growth pattern.

  Make sure to cover all the hair you wish to smooth with cream.

  After applying to several sections smoth gently with wide tooth comb taking care not to put too much tension on the hair (apply the front hairlines last).

  Continue to work in the same manner with remaining 3 quadrants until completed and then go to timing.

  Once the application is completed, do not comb the hair.

  HOW TO TEST?

  Always test in 3 different places (back, sides and front).

  Remember this is a smoothing service, not straightening.  What you are looking for is a relaxation to the natural curl pattern.

  Check the elasticity of the hair.

  Take a small strand of hair between your fingers and gently pull in an outward direction.  You should feel the hair return back like an elastic band.

• 

  
  5

  Using a water spray bottle, remove product from strand and check the formation against the palm of your hand.

  Important! You are not looking for perfectly straight hair with this service.

  When desired smoothing has been achieved, hair is ready for rinsing.

• 

  
  6

  Rinse hair with lukewarm water for a minimum of 5 minutes.

  Longer hair may require additional rinsing (10-15 minutes).

  Make sure all of the CHI Smoothing Cream has been thoroughly rinsed out of the hair and especially from nape area and hairlines.

  Towel dry the hair.

  Apply CHI Infra Treatment from roots to ends for 5 minutes remembering to be gentle with the hair at this point.

  Rinse and towel dry.

  Begin by applying CHI Cream Neutralizer in the same manner as the smoothing solution.

  Once each quadrant is completed, simply comb through gently with a wide tooth comb to ensure final smoothness.

  Repeat on remaining quadrants and time it for a full 5 minutes.

  Rinse and towel dry.
