The following is important information regarding Thermal Reconditioning including Before and Aftercare.

What is Thermal Reconditioning/ Japanese Hair Straightening? Thermal Reconditioning or "Japanese Hair Straightening" is an innovative hair straightening system that permanently transforms curly, wavy, frizzy, unruly hair into soft, silky, straight hair that is more vibrant than you ever dreamt possible--and with very little maintenance! Here are just a few benefits of thermal reconditioning: 1. Your hair will look shiny, silky- soft, perfectly straight, and more radiant than ever before. 2. Spend your valuable time sleeping, working, commuting, working out, etc., rather than wrestling your hair for hours on end. 3. You can go out into the San Francisco fog or the Hawaiian Tropics without worrying about your hair turning into a frizzy mess! 4. You can dive into salt water or a swimming pool feeling confident that your hair will look beautiful when you get out! 5. You will look put together at your early morning work meeting! 6. You will look fabulous at parties, holidays, and events! 7. You will look beautiful in your vacation and wedding photo's! These are just a few examples of how thermal reconditioning will change your life!

How does Thermal Reconditioning transform curly, wavy, frizzy hair into beautiful, silky-straight, hair? In addition to straightening the hair, thermal reconditioning smoothes the cuticle layer (which looks like a snakes skin) down flat. The result is soft, silky, shiny, hair that reflects light and is smooth to the touch. Quick fact: Thermal Reconditioning started in Japan as a retexturizing process. While many Japanese people love their perfectly straight hair, many do the treatment mainly for it's smoothing, shine enhancing properties.

How does Thermal Reconditioning work? First, we apply an Ammonium Thioglycolate (or "thio") based solution onto the hair. This solution has an alkaline base with a p.h. range of 6.0 - 8.8. The high p.h. level swells the hair's outer cuticle layer which allows the solution to penetrate deeper into the hairs sub cuticle layers. Once there, the solution breaks down the hair's disulfide bonds-- the bonds that give each hair its intrinsic curly or wavy shape. Next, we iron the hair @ 150-200 degrees celsius setting in the hair's new straight shape. Last, we apply neutralizer which reforms and solidifies the hair's disulfide bonds and lowers the hair back to its normal p.h. level. The result is silky-straight beautiful hair!

Will Thermal Reconditioning damage my hair? If the straightening is done properly--NO! Technically we are stripping proteins, which makes it imperative your hair is healthy before the treatment. This way we can "borrow" some protein from your hair without damaging it. Here's another way to look at it: Damage occurs when hair's been stripped of to much protein. This protein loss causes the cuticle layer to blow open leading to more moisture and protein loss. The result is dry, brittle, frizzy, rough feeling hair. Conversely, thermal reconditioning makes hair look healthier, silkier, shinier, and frizz-free because we iron the cuticle layer shut-- this smoothes the hair while locking moisture and protein inside. Another benefit of thermal reconditioning is that it will GREATLY reduce your daily heat styling regimen. Many of our clients can air dry or finish with a QUICK tossle blow-dry. We have our clients throw away their brushes! This is important because constant heat from flat ironing can damage your hair much more than a properly done thermal reconditioning treatment. Important note: Just as important to what we do during the straightening, is what you do before and after your straightening. For maximum results, follow this site's BEFORE and AFTERCARE instructions.

What is the strand test? The strand test is a mini thermal reconditioning treatment done on a small strand of your hair. This test ensures a great result because it shows us exactly how your hair will turn out after the straightening-- BEFORE we start the treatment. In addition to assuring that your hair can achieve a beautiful result, the strand test gives us valuable information about your hair, so we know exactly what to expect while processing your hair. For example, it tells us which strength solution to use, if we have to mix different strength solutions, how long it takes your hair to process, and what iron temperature(s) to use.

Why is the strand test so important? As mentioned, the strand test is the foundation for every thermal reconditioning treatment. It's the only way to assure that your hair will turn out great, while giving us valuable information about your hair. Contrary to popular belief, NOT everyones hair can be straightened-- this includes strong, healthy, virgin hair! Lindsay and I came to this conclusion early in our career through a couple of very powerful confirmations. The first came from watching other stylists struggle with consistency. One straightening would be great; the next couple, good; the next, decent; and the next, something much less. What was the reason for this wild inconsistency? From the stylists standpoint we concluded that many mistakes occurred from a variety of reasons: stylists doing hair that's to damaged to withstand the treatment, stylists who aren't naturally gifted, stylists who are great cutters and/or colorists but inexperienced straighteners, inexperienced stylists rushed onto the floor by the salon, stylists who weren't in the "right" frame of mind, inadequate training...unfocused...rushed...overbooked...burned out-- or any combination of the above. However, beyond this, something else seemed to be going on. Something in the hair itself. Why was healthy, virgin hair frequently coming out so poorly?

Our next confirmation came in the form of a young girl in her early 20's, who had perfect, healthy, lush, brown ringlets. Throughout our career, 4 or 5 people come to mind whose hair was so fabulous that we questioned them beforehand to make sure that they REALLY wanted to straighten their curls. She was one of them. We told her that she was going to be on the cover of our website, provided she passed the strand test (which seemed like a given). Thankfully we tested her hair; it came out horribly! Since her hair was so healthy, we assumed that something must have happened on our end. We tested it again-- Same result. We would have ruined this young girl's amazing hair! We realized that any other stylist would have taken one look at her perfect looking, healthy hair, and done it without thinking twice. We saved this young girl! These powerful confirmations helped shape the way Lindsay and Dax work to this day. However, once again, we were lead to the same important question: Why was extremely healthy, virgin hair coming out so poorly? Something beyond visible dryness and/or damage was adversely affecting the hair, but what? We suspected that this mystery could be the origin of many of the "horror stories" that circulated message boards.

Lindsay and I knew immediately that we weren't going to work this way. If we ruined even one persons hair, we'd be sick; damaging hair day in and day out wasn't even an option. Right from the start, we strand tested every clients hair. We wanted to make sure that we weren't going to bump into these "invisible" land mines and damage 3 or 4 out of 10 clients hair. We began gathering as much information as possible. Whenever a strand test showed something wrong, we questioned the client about everything we could think of diet...medications...prior chemical services...products-- everything. After thousands of tests-- and many more questions-- patterns emerged giving us invaluable insights that other stylists simply aren't aware of. Other stylists look and feel the hair to tell if the hair is strong enough withstand the straightening. Since dry, porous, and damaged areas can be seen, precautions can be made. However, this is far from the whole story: In addition to things that strip protein and visibly damage the hair--i.e., color, highlightes, swimming, relaxers, sun-in, inferior shampoos, conditioners, and styling products, etc--there are many other UNFORESEEABLE factors that can negatively influence your straightening. Our tests showed that only 6 or 7 in 10 people with healthy, virgin hair pass the first time, and if the following conditions are present in your hair, this percentage drops considerably: hormone medications/ imbalances (including pregnancy, birth control, age, etc), thyroid medications/ imbalances ( the thyroid controls hormones), asthma medications (steroids), metallics found in some home hair colors, swimming (mineral build up), lye relaxers (thio and lye are chemically incompatible), henna, keratin/ brazilian Straightening's, and probably others. We'd found our answer! These were the causes of other stylists huge consistency problems-- and, outside of stylists' error-- the root of all horror stories! It's important to note, if you have any of these conditions in your hair, you still may get a great result, but a strand test must be done to make sure.

Not only does the strand test ensure that your hair can come out beautifully after the straightening, it gives us valuable information, assuring your hair will come out beautifully. Among other things, this test shows us which strength solution to use, whether we have to mix different strength solutions, how long your hair takes to process, and the proper iron temperatures to use. This way we'll know exactly what to expect during your straightening because the first time we do your hair will be like the second. This test also shows if you'll need conditioning treatments before your straightening, a little trim after your straightening, or possibly another treatment altogether. The strand test is a real time example of how your hair will turn out after your treatment. We'll let you see and feel the strand to make sure you're happy with the results. If anything's not quite right, we'll be the first to tell you. We will NOT do your hair unless we're sure it will come out beautifully. Note: Not everyone's hair will come out perfectly--and that's o.k.!Ê Many of our clients are quite happy-- even ecstatic-- with their vastly improved, beautiful hair that saves lots of styling time and energy every day. Either way, the strand test shows us exactly what to expect and will help us determine the right path for you.

How long does Thermal Reconditioning last? It depends on how curly your hair is coming from the root. Most clients come back every 4-8 months. If your hair is very curly, you'll want to come in every 4-6 months. If your hair's smooth at the root, then gradually falls into curl, wave, and/or frizz, you could wait 6-10 months. Either way, you'll be the first to know!

What is a Thermal Reconditioning "retouch"? Every 4-8 months we'll straighten only your hairs' new growth so that it matches your previously straightened hair. The "retouch" is MUCH harder to do than the first treatment. We must be careful not to overlap onto the previously straightened hair because it has a different porosity than the virgin roots, and can over-process if the solution touches it. Once your hair's been straightened it should NOT be treated again unless it didn't get completely straight the first time. Sometimes, although very infrequently (about 1 in 100), the hair won't get totally straight from the first treatment.

What should I do if my hair doesn't get totally straight from the first Thermal Reconditioning Treatment? If your hair doesn't get completely straight from the initial straightening, call us immediately! We'll gladly straighten the hair that didn't get totally straight. It's VERY important that you call us ASAP because we want to keep your hair's porosity consistent within the thermal retouch line. In other words, if you wait, there will be two different porosities--your newly grown virgin roots, right against your previously straightened hair (the hair that didn't get totally straight)-- in one thermal retouch line. This will cause porosity inconsistencies, and, at the very least, lead to an inconsistent result. Sometimes, this hair can't be safely done at all.

Can I color my Thermally Reconditioned hair? Yes-- But be careful! Contact us before you do anything to your hair-color, semi-permanent wash-out color, highlights, henna, keratin (Brazilian) straightenings, sun-in--Anything! When you do color, use salon color. There are 2 reasons for this: (1) Salons typically use high quality color that won't contain metallics; and (2) a stylists solid color application will negate any porosity issues that can arise from an inconsistent application. It's hard to apply your own color. It's easy to miss spots, which can lead to porosity inconsistencies throughout the hair. Any missed spots will be stronger (and mixed in) with the weaker, color treated hair. Consequently, some areas will get straight while other areas might get a rough, puffy texture, and be marked with remaining curl and/or wave. If salon color isn't an option, beauty supply color is your next best bet. Stay away from drug store home hair colors altogether. Some (but not all of them) contain metallics that will ruin your hair if mixed with the thermal reconditioning solution. Semi-permanent hair color is ideal because it strips less protein than permanent and demi-permanent colors. Permanent and semi-permanent color are fine too, provided your hair is strong enough to withstand the color and straightening. Once again, we STRONGLY recommend consulting us before any color processing. We've had countless clients come in just AFTER they colored their hair and found out that their hair couldn't be treated because (1) their hair wasn't strong enough to be double-processed, or (2)Êtheir color wasn't compatible with thermal reconditioning solution. Once we get you on a thermal-safe color regimen, we'll have you color your hair no sooner than 2 weeks (14 days), and no longer than a month before your straightening. This will give you about 1/2" to 3/4" outgrowth at the root and create a consistent porosity from root to end. If you wait too long between your color and straightening, your virgin roots will be much stronger than the rest of your color treated hair, which can lead to an inconsistent result.

Can I get Thermal Reconditioning if I have highlights? Sometimes...but be VERY careful! It's IMPERATIVE that you consult us before any color treatment-- especially highlights!Highlights break 2 of our fundamental hair straightening laws: (1) Any successful Thermal Reconditioning Straightening MUST begin with healthy hair; and (2) We must have a solid, CONSISTENT foundation of hair to work with to ensure a great result. Highlights create the exact opposite conditions. Highlights can strip up to half of your hair's protein; they usually create a head of hair that ranges from healthy, to barely healthy, to damaged, and everything in between. Only on rare occasion, do we see a perfectly healthy head of highlighted hair--one that's remained so strong after the highlight, that we can strip more protein from it, and still keep the hair vibrant and healthy. To complicate matters more, highlights create 3 completely different porosities when interwoven with color treated and virgin hair. This gets particularly tricky if the hair is long and has been colored and/or highlighted multiple times. Also, if any of the prior highlights have been tinted over, they're impossible to see, and therefore, impossible to protect during the straightening.

There's a common myth that highlightes can be done if the colorist doesn't use bleach, and uses under a 20 volume developer. In theory, this is may be true; however, there are other important factors to consider: (1). APPLICATION. This theory fails to consider the stylists difficulties in applying solution to the hair. Virgin hair, tinted hair, and highlighted hair all need different strength solutions to process evenly. For example, virgin hair might take an hour to process with the strongest solution, tinted hair might take 30 minutes with the medium solution, while highlights might take 20 minutes with mild solution. This poses a tremendous dilemma to the stylist. If a strong solution is used, the highlighted and color treated hair will over-process, causing damage. If the medium or mild strength solution is used, the virgin hair will under-process causing massive inconsistencies throughout the hair. Most likely the hair will have remaining curl, wave, and rough, puffy textures--if not damage, throughout. (2) PROTECTION. Since the mild or medium strength solutions won't get the strong virgin hair straight, the strongest solution must be used. This means that the stylist must protect the highlights and tinted hair with a cream, conditioner, and/or oil to slow down their processing time so that they process at exactly the same rate as the virgin hair. This is very difficult to do. If the stylist fails to protect ANY of the highlighted or color treated hair, the hair will over-process, causing damage and/or breakage. Protecting the hair becomes increasingly difficult after multiple highlights and tints because it's impossible for any colorist to align EVERY hair of a highlight to the prior highlights. Overlapping will almost certainly occur, causing some hair to be highlighted twice,tinted once or twice, AND thermally reconditioned--while other parts of the hair won't be highlighted at all! The problem exacerbates if the highlights have been tinted over, and therefore, are no longer visible.Ê We call these "hidden highlights" because they can't be seen to be protected by the straightening specialist, or to be avoided by the colorist. Add to this, hair is naturally much stronger at the root than the ends, which causes more porosity inconsistencies. This creates a melting pot of strong and weak hair interwoven throughout the head. More times than not, working this way is a recipe for disaster!(3) IRONING. Highlights make ironing difficult because they create 3 different porosities (and hair strengths) in one section of hair. Highlights, tint, and virgin hair all require different iron temperatures to get straight without causing damage. They also take a different number of passes with the iron. For example, highlights, which can't withstand the high iron temperatures that color treated and virgin hair require, might need to be ironed @ 165 degrees with 8 iron passes. The tinted hair might need 170 degrees with 10 passes, while the virgin hair might need 12 passes @ 180 degrees. To avoid damaging the weakened highlighted hair, all the hair must be ironed at a low temperature with fewer passes. Consequently, the strong, virgin hair will not get the required temperatures and passes needed to get straight, while the tinted hair may or may not get the required heat.

In conclusion, highlights create very inconsistent hair with varying forms of weakness from root to end. it's very difficult to guarantee a consistently great result. Over time, count on inconsistencies in the form of wave, curl, rough and/or puffy textures, with some damaged areas. The first straightening might come out great, but the next one might be something much less. Also, if you want straight hair, prepare to blow-dry and flat iron, which can get you into a painful catch 22: If you don't iron your hair, it won't be straight; if you do iron, your hair will be double and/or triple processed (colored, highlighted, and thermally reconditioned), on top of blow drying and flat ironing, which almost always causes damage. The keratin straightening is usually a better option for highlighted hair. The keratin infuses protein into the hair, rather than stripping it from the hair. It works wonderfully to fill in the missing protein stripped from color and highlights. Of course, if you want straight hair you'll have to blow-dry and iron-- but you will anyway with the thermal. Plus, you'll have the option of wavy hair. It's important to note, we're NOT saying that highlights can't be done; but rather, it takes very special circumstances for them to be done CONSISTENTLY well. Also, we'll go so far as to say, highlights are the reason for many of the horror stories that circulate today's message boards. Speaking of message boards, keep in mind that everyone has avery different interpretation of what "looks good". When you hear that someones very happy with their highlighted hair, most likely this person doesn't mind heat styling to blend remaining wave and damage. Sometimes its quite shocking to see what some people are "happy with".

Can I get breakage from thermal reconditioning? Yes, but NOT if the straightening is done properly! Here are the few ways that breakage can occur, followed with our remedies for the given problems. (1) Breakage can occur if the thermal reconditioning solution is applied onto the scalp. Over time, as the hair grows out, bends and/or breakage may appear. These "bends" can become weak links and break. To avoid this problem, Lindsay and I apply the solution approximately 1/4" to 1/2" away from the scalp. (2) Breakage can occur from improperly ironed hair. To avoid this, Lindsay and I carefully iron the hair at the correct angles using the appropriately sized sections. This way we avoid clamping the hair at the root, causing bends. After ironing each section of hair, we check for bends. On the rare occasion there is one, we immediately iron it out. (3)Ê Breakage can occur from over-processing the hair. This can happen one of two ways: first, from using too strong a solution; and second, from leaving the solution on your hair for too long. The stylists most important and most difficult challenge during the thermal reconditioning process is determining exactly when the hair is done processing. The solution must be rinsed from the hair at precisely the right time to avoid over processing. Lindsay and I call this "el dente". Thermal Reconditioning is a lot like cooking pasta--anyone can do it, but few do it well every time. After thousands of treatments, we've invented our own method for testing the hair, which lets us know exactly when the hair is perfectly processed. Our method is MUCH more accurate than those taught at any certification class that we've taken. Also, we've developed our own way of rinsing the hair that's equally precise. (4) The last way breakage can occur (from our side of the equation) comes from applying too much heat onto the hair. This happens from too many flat-iron passes at too high a temperature. Tens of thousands of repetitions have showed Lindsay and Dax exactly when the hair's perfectly ironed. Hair gets a certain shine when ironed to perfection. Your hair has different porosities and textures all over your head and needs to be ironed accordingly. For example, fine, color treated hair around your hairline might take a much lower temperature, with fewer iron passes than the coarser, stronger hair in the middle of the back of your head. The ability of your stylist to read every hair type, section by section, hair by hair, will determine if your straightening is great, good, or something much less...In conclusion, a properly done thermal reconditioning treatment will NOT damage your hair. Our philosophy is to make sure your straightening will come out great BEFORE we start the treatment. The strand test assures us that your hair can achieve a beautiful result-- our patience, attention to detail, and vast experience guarantees it. Simply said: Lindsay and I will take care of your hair! Important note: Equally important to what we do on our side, is how well you take care of your hair on a daily basis. It's imperative that you use quality products-- and, most importantly-- keep heat styling to a minimum!

Can I get a Keratin Straightening over my Thermal Reconditioning? Yes...But be careful! There's a common misconception that it's o.k. to switch back and forth from keratin straightening's to thermal reconditioning, and vice versa. This usually isn't true--at least in the short term. Some people use the keratin treatment as an "in between" to prolong their thermal reconditioning retouches. Here's what our strand tests showed: You CAN do a keratin straightening over thermally reconditioned hair. In fact, the keratin is a great way to replenish your hair's protein after your thermal reconditioning. However, you should be committed to the keratin. Here's why: The keratin blocks the thermal reconditioning solution from penetrating deep into the hair's sub-cuticle layers-- thus, keeping it from breaking down the hairs disulfide bonds, making the hair straight. Oftentimes, the thermal will get a rough, puffy texture commonly found in under-processed hair. Further complicating the issue is this: The keratin oftentimes stays in the hair a lot longer than the normal 3-4 month period, where the keratin's affect is visibly the strongest. One of our clients had very strong remnants from her keratin after 14 months! This is not to say that everyone will have to wait a year and a half to go back from their keratin straightening to thermal reconditioning-- however, in some cases, this may happen. We must do a strand test to make sure the keratin has left your hair.

Can I get Thermal Reconditioning if I have henna? Sometimes, but a strand test must be done to make sure. Henna coats the hair and can keep the thermal reconditioning solution from penetrating into the hair's sub-cuticle layers, which is vital for the straightening.

Can I get Thermal Reconditioning while pregnant or nursing? In terms of safety, most doctor's say that it's o.k. The active ingredient in thermal reconditioning solution is the same found in perm solution. It's called ammonium thioglycolate. However, consult your doctor to make sure. We'll definitely have to do a strand test to ensure a great result. Pregnancy affects your hormones and can wreak havoc on your hair. Same for nursing.

Are there medications that can adversely affect thermal reconditioning? YES! We found that certain hormone, thyroid, and asthma medications can negatively affect your straightening. A strand test will have to be done.

Are there any hair cuts to avoid before my thermal reconditioning? Yes. Razor cuts and slide cutting can fray the ends of your hair, weakening them. These weakened ends can over-process during your straightening. A strand test must be done.

PRE CARE

Important: The results of your T.R. Treatment are largely in YOUR hands. If you come to us with strong, healthy hair you will get a great result. Conversely, if your hair has been damaged via highlites, hi-lift tint, blowdrying, ironing, chlorine, too much sun, improper product use, etc.,-Your Thermal will reflect this abuse. We may even have to postpone the T.R.Treatment while we repair your hair...if it can be repaired! So remember, please...Take care of your hair!!!

Consultation: It's very important that you tell us everything that you can about your hair; ie. highlites, color, henna, recent pregnancy, medications, swimming, styling, etc...

If you are worried that your hair will be a little too flat, tell us at the consultation.

Color your hair 2-4 weeks before T.R. Treatment. This will give your hair a consistent porosity from root to end. If you color your hair after the T.R. Treatment, wait at least 14 days for the hairs bonds to fully oxidize and solidify into their new shape.

No Keratin Straightening's.

No Henna.

No Metallic hair dyes. The metallic in these dyes is absolutely incompatible with Thermal Reconditioning. Beware: Some HOME hair color contains metallic dyes.

No Sodium Hydroxide Relaxers. Sodium Hydroxide and the active ingredient in T.R. solution (Ammonium Thioglycolate) are incompatible.

No Bleach/ Hi Lift Tint over 20 volume.Always consult with us before color/highlights. Particularly if you are going lighter.

Deep condition your hair frequently.

Wash hair as little as possible. Shampoo strips protein and natural oils from the hair which can dry it out, particularly mid shaft to ends.

AFTER CARE

First 2 weeks after T.R. Treatment: Your hair won't fully oxidize and harden into its new straight shape for 2 weeks. Therefore, no clippies, hats, tucking, or anything that can leave a permanent indentation in your hair for 14 days. If an impression is left in your hair for any reason blow dry and/or iron it out. Remember, keep the iron moving; never stop while ironing. This too can leave a permanent crease in the hair.

First 48 hours after T.R. Treatment: No moisture and/or products in hair; ie. sweat, sauna, rain, fog, shampoo, etc...This could cause curl or wave to revert back to its original curly, wavy, or frizzy state.

During shower or bath: put hair up in a shower cap. If an impression is left from the shower cap, blow dry and/or iron it out. Pat hair dry rather than roughing it up. This can damage the hairs cuticle giving it a rough texture.

Ironing: Do Not buy an iron that doesn't have a temperature control. Many irons that don't have a temperature control get extremely hot and will scorch the hair. Iron on a low tomedium temperature. Ceramic plates work well because they allow the irons heat to distribute evenly, avoiding "hot spots". Always iron with continuous motion. Never stop the iron while ironing. This will prevent you from creating a permanent ironing crease in your hair.

Blow dry: Always blow dry in a downward motion. The cuticle layer of your hair looks similar to a snakes skin. Hair becomes frizzy when these "scales" are opened up by blowdrying against them. Conversely, blowdrying in a downward motion will keep the cuticle layer of your hair smooth, shiny, and frizz-free.

Sleeping: Sleep like you normally do. If you wake up with messy hair, blow dry and/or iron it out. Also, a silk or satin pillowcase will help keep the hairs cuticle smooth.

Throw brushes away! Brushing hair while blowdrying will rip the hair causing damage. Instead, tossle dry with your fingers using tension where necessary. You can achieve the same effect by sculpting your hair with an iron after the hair is dry. For example, if you like your ends to curve under or flick up...

Styling recommendation: Apply a heat protecting product to wet hair. Comb through with a medium to wide toothed comb. Make sure the combs teeth are fine enough to distribute the product evenly- but large enough not to cause unnecessary tension on the hair. Tossle dry if needed. Apply finishing product to add shine. Comb through with fine toothed comb.

Heat from blowdryer/iron at home can cause more damage than the T.R. process itself, particularly on colored and/or highlited hair. Don't use wet-to-dry flat irons, particularly with lightened hair. Make sure that your hair is completely dry before ironing.

Conditioning Treatment: As needed. After shower, towel dry hair removing as much excess water from hair as possible. This will allow the conditioner to penetrate into the hair. Apply conditioner. Wrap hair in a warm damp towel or shower cap. The heat from your scalp will open the hairs cuticle and allow the conditioner to penetrate deeper into the hair. 30 minutes to 1 hour. Rinse.

Always finish blow dry with cool air and finish shower with cool rinse. This will help close the hairs cuticle giving it more shine and less frizz.

Hair Products: Very important. It's imperative to replenish your hairs protein and moisture on a continuous basis. Consult Dax or Lindsay.
