  KeraSmooth™ Application:

  • Shake KeraSmooth™ pouches well before each use.
  • While wearing gloves, squeeze KeraSmooth™ formula for Virgin/Resistant hair into a bowl. The amount used varies on hair length and texture.
    c. To begin, apply KeraSmooth in sections 1/2” away from the roots to mid shaft using a BI applicator brush. Do not apply directly to the scalp. Finally, apply KeraSmooth to the ends, combing through each section once.
  • Perform a strand test immediately after you finish with your application. The processing time starts when you start your application. Try to keep the application time under 10 minutes.
  • Leave KeraSmooth™ on the hair for 5 to 10 minutes to defrizz, or leave on for 30 minutes to straighten, depending on hair type and texture. Note: Do not process wiht heat.
  • To check the desired level of straightening, do an elasticity test every 3 to 5 minutes at the place of initial application.
  • Do not leave KeraSmooth on hair longer than 30 minutes.

  Shampoo and Condition:

  • After all KeraSmooth™ product is rinsed from the hair, shampoo twice with BI S-H Intensive Moisturizing Shampoo and rinse.

  • 7. Flat Iron & Finish:
  • Make sure the hair is 100% dry before ironing. No Neutralizer is needed.
  • Seal the hair with the OnePass® Straightening Iron at 350°F to 400°F, depending on hair type and texture – only one pass is needed. We also recommend the use of BI RTX-450 Straightening Iron.
  • Set temperature based on type of hair: 350°F for fine, 400°F for medium and 430 – 450°F for course hair. You might have to run the iron for more than one pass, but we recommend that you don’t run it more than three times on the same section.
  • Style and finish as desired.
  • BI does not guarantee best results if another iron, other than a BI professional iron is used.
  • Don’t get the hair wet for 72 hours.
