Because it is a technique that can damage the hair, it is necessary to have some care before and after the procedure. Follow the tips below and ensure that your hair will have a satisfactory result with the chemistry:

• Don’t use a flat iron: your hair is already wonderful! Ironing the iron now will only damage the strands and make them lose their definition.
• Make the wires wet: that’s because the hair will be dry and you will need to restore its oil.
• Look for a trusted professional: as the procedure is not compatible with most chemicals, it’s always good to leave it to those who understand the subject.
• Do a strand test: if you still want to do the chemistry at home, apply the product to a small part of your hair and see what happens. That way you avoid possible problems!
• Create a hair schedule before and after: chemistry requires greater care with the wires. So invest in a disciplined schedule to repair damage or prep your hair. After all, good hydration, nutrition and hair reconstruction are always welcome.

Now just enjoy your curly and defined hair, right? And one last tip: always talk to your trusted hairdresser about your hair’s history – so he’ll be sure how to conduct the chemistry in your strands.
