Phase 3: Processing.
After applying the Step 1 cream, allow the hair to process for 30 to 45 minutes, visually monitoring the hair’s elasticity.

Divide the hair into three sections and begin flat-ironing at 180 degrees Celsius, working section by section, following the natural growth pattern of the hair until it appears smooth and lustrous.
Phase 5: Application of Step 2 Cream.
Once the initial flat-ironing is complete, apply the Neutralizer or Step 2 cream evenly, section by section, to lock in the results and re-normalize the hair’s pH after the Step 1 cream and heat styling.
