Reformation Curl

The first step in the Reformation Curl procedure is to use a thio relaxer. It straightens the hair so it can be wrapped smoothly.

1) Choose a product strength that is appropriate for the hair’s textureand condition

2)Straightening is performed on dry hair. Shampoo only if the hair is excessively coated with pomades or glycerine or if the manufacturer’s instructions specify shampooing. If shampooing is necessary, do not manipulate the scalp and dry the hair under a cool hood dryer before processing.

3) Apply protective cream around the hairline and on the top and back of the ears.

4) Liberally apply the straightener with an applicator brush.

5) When the application is complete, go back over each section, starting at the nape. Use the flat side of an applicator brush bristles (not the tips) to smooth the product through the hair. Add more product as necessary for thorough saturation

6) Follow the manufacturer’s directions.

7) Check the hair continuously for curl reduction. When the hairappears to be straight, rinse it thoroughly.

8) As with permanent waves, it’s important to select the correct size rods. Wrap the hair using a rod size determined in the consultation. Use firm tension.

9) Apply thio wave lotion to the hair.Wrap while the solution is in the hair. Wind the perm swiftly but neatly.

10) Follow the manufacturer’s directions for processing the curl

11) When processing is complete,rinse the hair thoroughly with warm water

12) Towel-blot each rod thoroughly, then blot with paper towels until excess moisture is removed. A 5-10 minute air neutralizing time may be used before chemical neutralizing.

13)Saturate the top and bottom of each rod with a neutralizer and leave it on the hair for the

specified time. To avoid hair damage, do not neutralize longer than indicated by the manufacturer, usually 5-10

minutes.

14)With the rods still in the hair, rinse with lukewarm water for at least 5 minutes.

15) Remove the rods gently and dispose of end papers as you go.

16) Rinse the hair lightly with cool water to close the cuticle. Support longer hair with your hand while

rinsing.

17)Towel dry the hair.

18)A light conditioner is recommended to equalize the

porosity. If the guest requests it, a curl-enhancing product, dressing or pomade may be applied.
