Arivalda advises that “it is important to carry out the procedure with a professional who knows the application techniques, neutralization of the product’s action and pause time. The product used contains acidic pH (potential of hydrogen), so, after performing the capillary exoplasty, if the client opts for so-called cold straightening (guanidine, thioglycolate, etc.), wait from 8 months to 1 year, not to rush. the risk of getting chemical haircuts.”
