MECHANICAL TEST:
This test, in addition to checking the health of the hair, can prove the chemical incompatibility of the Ultra Softness Gold Black Guanidine Professional Relaxation System with any other product that has been applied previously. Even in case of root touch-up, repeat the test to assess the current condition of the hair. Do the strand test also to check the final relaxation effect and determine the time needed to relax the hair depending on the texture of the hair.

DO NOT RELAX THE HAIR. Submit the hair to a deep treatment, with Gold Black Nutritive maintenance and treatment products;

TIME CONTROL:
Generally, the thickness of the hair is classified as FINE, MEDIUM OR THICK, and the action time can be estimated from that, but always check the result of the Mecha Test. Fine or Medium Hair Texture - Action Time: 10 to 20 minutes.
Thick Hair Texture - Action Time: 20 to 30 minutes.

STEP BY STEP:
STEP 1 - MIXING:
Kit 1 application / 2 touch-ups: Make the mixture in the Relaxing Cream pot with the entire content of the Activating Lotion, stirring well with the spatula to obtain a creamy and homogeneous mixture. If it is a root touch-up or if the hair is short, not needing to use the entire contents, mix it in a non-metallic bowl. Kit 5 applications / 10 touch-ups: Fill completely to the edge with Gold Black Relaxing Cream.
- Take care not to form air bubbles while filling the meter.
- Scrape any excess from the edge with the help of a spatula.
- Wash the meter and dry it.
- Fill the meter with Gold Black Activating Lotion to the marking line that indicates the amount of lotion needed for a measure of the relaxing cream.
- Pour the contents into the bowl and mix with the plastic spatula until you get a homogeneous cream.

IMPORTANT: Do not store the mixture for more than 6 hours. Throw away what is not
used. After this period, the formula may lose efficiency and compromise the
result of relaxation.

STEP 2 - APPLICATION:
Remember the mecha test time. Start to mark the time the product stays in the hair when you start the application and not when the product is fully distributed. Respect the application time, never exceeding the 30 minute limit.
1. Divide the hair (dry and untangled) into 4 sections with non-metallic fasteners: in the middle of the forehead to the nape and from ear to ear;
2. Put on the gloves;
3. Apply an Ointment to the neck, hairline and around the face, to avoid possible reactions of the product on the scalp. For kit 1 application, apply the Ultra Protective Ointment contained in the kit; For the 5 applications kit use an ointment of your choice.
4. Start the application strand by strand with a brush or with the back of a non-metallic comb, keeping a distance of 1 cm from the scalp;
5. Apply generous amounts of the cream to small strands of hair at a time:
- Start at the back sections (1 to 2), moving from left to right, towards the top (3 and 4).
- Gently spread the cream over the entire length of the virgin hair. Leave to spread on the ends last.
- For touch-ups: spread the cream evenly ONLY on new growth, avoiding previously relaxed areas. Remember: NEVER TAP UP BEFORE APPROXIMATELY 60 DAYS AFTER THE LAST RELAXATION.
- After applying the product on a strand, deposit it over the rest of the hair so that each strand applied overlaps the previous one.
- To move to the upper sections (3 and 4), lower the strands already applied.

TIP: On long hair, which may require a longer application time, we suggest performing complete relaxation first in the lower sections (1 and 2) and, after neutralizing them, start the process on the upper sections (3 and 4) .

STEP 3 - STRETCH:
Right after applying the Blend to all hair, begin the stretch:
1. Stay attentive to time. Check the time limit by hair type.
2. Start with section 1 and follow the same sequence as for stretching.
3. Try to obey the direction of hair growth (from the roots to the ends) while straightening each strand. Do not cap or tie your hair during stretching.
4. Continue spreading the cream and straightening the hair until the indicated stretching time is complete or until the desired relaxation effect is achieved according to the Strand Test. NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM TIME ALLOWED BY HAIR TYPE. SMOOTH AND CONTINUOUS STRETCHING IS NECESSARY TO RELAX THE HAIR WHOLE AND UNIFORMLY NEAR THE FINAL RELAXATION TIME, CHECK IF THE HAIR HAS REACHED THE DESIRED EFFECT.

STEP 4 - NEUTRALIZATION:
1. When the relaxation time ends, according to the table in the product's explanatory leaflet, rinse the hair thoroughly with warm water, making sure that no visible trace of the relaxation cream remains on the hair. * Do not pull the strands or rub the scalp during the rinse.
2. Apply the Indicator Shampoo, massaging gently and lathering abundantly. Rinse well with lukewarm water, removing all foam. If the foam is pink, rinse again and reapply the Indicator Shampoo until you see the white foam.

IMPORTANT: (Kit 1 application / 2 touch-ups): If you are using half of the Activator and Relaxation Cream for touch-up, keep half of the Indicator Shampoo and Conditioner as well.

STEP 5 - CONDITION AND COMB:
1. Remove excess water from the hair with a towel and apply a generous amount of Conditioner:
- For Kit 1 application use the Ultra Emollient Gold Black Guanidina Maintenance Conditioner.
- For Kit 5 applications use the Gold Black Nutritive Conditioner.
2. Leave on for 5 minutes and rinse.
3. Comb as desired, avoiding the heat of the dryer. Wait 2 days to make the brush or plank.
