How long do clients need to wait before coloring the hair? 7 to 10 days for all types of color, including demi permanent. You will want to keep the hair as straight as possible throughout and after the Thermal Str8 service. You risk the chance of the hair slightly reverting if the hair is colored too soon after this service. Can clients use heat to speed up the processing of the Part I Internal Restructuring Cream? No. Why is the final Str8 ironing so important when process is complete? This final ironing puts the hair into the smoothest possible state. Over the next 72 hours prior to shampooing, it will allow the hair to further oxidize naturally into the straightest possible configuration. Why is it necessary to wait 72 hours before shampooing, clipping, or banding the hair? The hair will continue to naturally oxidize and re-harden into its strongest state over these 72 hours, providing superior, long-lasting results. Bands or clips could leave permanent marks on the hair. How long do clients need to wait for a retouch? There must be a minimum of 3 to 4 inches of regrowth to perform a retouch. This may be 6-9 months of new growth. If the hair is not curly at the scalp, every year-year and a half. The length of the hair will also have an effect on the length of time between services. How is a charge for this service determined? The price is calculated by how many hours this procedure will take - usually determined by the length of hair. The entire process can take anywhere from 3 to 6 hours. A complete client consultation is recommended, prior to scheduling the service. This will help determine the time the process will take, and will also give the client an idea of the cost involved. Can clients expect completely straight results after the hair has been shampooed the first time? Yes, if the hair has been given the 72 hours to completely oxidize, it will be straight. Will the hair revert back to expose previous curl? In rare situations, with very strong resistant hair, some of the wave may revert. In these cases, Thermal Str8 may need to be applied through to the ends when it is time for a retouch. Can clients permanent wave over Thermal Str8? Yes. After 7 to 10 days. Perform a preliminary test curl first. But why? Will this process fade color-treated hair? Yes, artificial color may fade somewhat with this process. It is recommended that you set an appointment with your stylist for a color glaze 2 weeks after the Thermal STR8. This has no peroxide, no lifting action and an exact shade can be used to complement your natural base color without damage. Will this process affect the color of virgin hair? Virgin hair may lift 1 to 2 shades. Do clients need to avoid all types of moisture for 72 hours? (e.g.,) Steam rooms, Hot tubs, Gym (perspiration)? Yes. Although this makes bathing difficult, the long-term results will be the client's reward. How is the formulation of Thermal Str8 different from Anti Curl? Thermal Str8 contains a patented ingredient "Processing Control Technology" (P.C.T.), which actively manages the chemical reaction for predictable results. How long after a color process do clients need to wait to perform this service? 7 to 10 days. Can clients color with high lift tint after a Thermal Str8 service? Yes.

What is different about the Ceramic Str8 Iron compared to the Yuko iron or the Bio Ionic Iron? The Ceramic Str8 Iron creates remarkably smooth, silky hair and eliminates frizz. The even heat distribution eliminates damaging hot spots on the hair, making this iron very user-friendly. How hot must the flat iron be? 220°C. How is it possible to avoid having the ends of the hair look frayed? When ironing through the distal ends of the hair, gently bevel the ends under with the Str8 Iron. Be careful not to bend the hair with the iron. This will help to avoid giving the ends an upward kick
