Before use:  Prior to the treatment always perform a strand test. Only proceed with the treatment if the condition of the hair allows it. If the hair breaks or the scalp is irritated after the test, do not use Keune Keratin Straightening Rebonding System or another straightener.

Application: Straightening Cream

1. Shampoo the hair only if exceptionally oily or dirty. Apply on dry or towel-dried hair.
2. Divide hair into 4 sections.
3. Wear suitable disposable gloves during the straightening process and rinsing of the products.
4. Apply the Straightening Cream into a non-metallic bowl.
5. Virgin hair: apply the Straightening Cream rapidly with a color brush, section by section, beginning at the nape. Keep the Straightening Cream 0.5 cm (0.2 inch) away from the scalp.
6. Carefully work through the hair for even distribution. Avoid tension on the hair. The total application time should not exceed 5 minutes. Smooth the hair with fingers, side of hand or wide-tooth comb.
7. Regrowth application: if the hair has already been straightened, only apply to the re-growth, keeping 0.5 cm (0.2 inch) from the scalp.
8. Do not use heat or cover the hair during processing time.
9. Smooth the hair regularly with fingers or wide tooth comb to ensure product is evenly distributed and hair remains straight. Do not pull the hair during the application.
10. Process for 5 to 20 minutes, depending on the hair structure. Check regularly with fingers or a wide tooth comb to determine if the hair stays straight*.
11.  Perform the Knot Test described below until hair is processed.
12. The application time must be counted as part of the total processing time. Never leave the Straightening Cream in contact with hair for more than 25 minutes! Continue smoothing the hair gently with fingers or wide-tooth comb during the processing time.
13. Rinse the hair thoroughly with warm water for 10 minutes. The rinsing water should not come into contact with the eyes. Thoroughly remove all product from the hair. Carefully towel dry the hair.
14. Carefully blow dry the hair.

Process Time: Knot Test

The process time of Straightening Cream takes 5 to 20 minutes. How do you determine if the hair stays straight and thus hair is completely processed? Conduct the knot test:

1. Take a strand of hair and remove excess product.
2. Make a knot 3 – 5 cm from the scalp
3. Insert a plastic comb and gently tighten the knot around the tail end.
4. Partially open the knot, slide it down to the mid-length of the hair and gently re-tie. Repeat this at the ends.
5. If the knot loosens on it’s own, the hair requires longer processing. Redo the test in 5 minutes. If the knot does not loosen on it’s own anymore, the hair is completely processed and ready to be rinsed.

Never exceed the recommended maximum processing time of 20 minutes (excluding application time)

Ironing

Section the hair and slowly iron small sections from scalp to ends into the natural fall, beginning at the nape. Iron each section 6 to 8 times, until it is completely straight. Use a ceramic or similar straightening iron and do not keep the iron in one place for longer than 3 seconds. Set temperature on 180°C (360°F).

Application: Neutralization Cream

1. Virgin hair: Apply the Neutralization Cream section by section, beginning at the nape. Comb or smooth the hair with fingers.
2. Regrowth application: Apply the Neutralization Cream only to regrowth.
3. Smooth down regularly so that hair remains straight during processing time.
4. Rinse thoroughly and towel dry the hair.
5. Blow dry the hair and style as desired.
