• Never completely saturate a rod with the exception of your test rod, located at the top of the occipital bone.
• Each rod should be spotted in 2-3 areas (channels) with sections in-between that do not have solution directly applied.
• Use only a pinhole in the waving solution application bottle.
• Solution placement on each rod should alternate with the rod above or below it.
• Do not be afraid of leaving sections on the rod without solution. This is required to achieve the look.
NOTE: Think of solution placement as you would creative color placement.

The Eufora AloePlex Waving Solutions are safe for use on color-treated hair and are true to rod size. Pay attention to how the solution is absorbed during application. Very porous hair will absorb quickly and indicates that the processing will be accomplished faster. Watch closely and test for complete processing time by checking your test rod at various intervals. The first check should be at five minutes.
- If hair is reacting; check every five minutes
- If hair is not reacting; check every 10 minutes
Make sure that you see the strong “S” shape on your test rod before you rinse and neutralize.
Neutralizing and Rinsing Rules
• Rinse hair thoroughly for five minutes. Use a timer and do not stop too early.
• Use lukewarm water. If hair is resistant use warmer water.
• It is very important to towel-blot the hair completely to remove as much water as possible.
• Extra thick hair should be allowed to “air” neutralize for five minutes before applying the neutralizing solution.
• Apply neutralizer evenly to all rods and completely saturate the entire rod.
• Neutralize for five minutes, rinse thoroughly, remove rods and condition with the appropriate Eufora conditioner.
Practicing on mannequin heads is a great way to experiment with different wave patterns and solution application. You’ll find that your professional texturizing services can be as creative and lucrative as your color services.

The best aspect of The Flash Wave™ technique is that your client has ultimate versatility in styling. Hair can be air-dried or diffused for naturally tousled waves. Round brushing during the blow-dry gives great body and more structured waves, and hair can easily be blown straight with healthy volume. Lastly, beautiful frizz-free curls require uber hydration, so make sure to instruct clients on the proper home care products to care for their new texture, wave and curl.
