Product purpose
A home-use, low‑irritation down perm kit designed to soften and “lay down” side hairs (sideburns/temporal hair) to reduce stick‑up and create a smoother, flatter appearance.
Directions for use (general — follow product instructions on package)
Patch and strand test 24–48 hours before full use to check for allergic reaction and to verify processing time and hair compatibility.
Cleanse and dry the target hair/scalp area. Protect skin with petroleum jelly or barrier cream along hairline. Wear gloves.
Apply the reducing/perm cream to the side hairs to be flattened, avoiding direct contact with the scalp where possible. Work in small sections for even coverage.
Allow to process for the time indicated in the product instructions (do not exceed recommended time). Monitor hair texture; if excessive irritation occurs, rinse immediately.
Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water until the product is removed.
Apply the neutralizer provided (if separate) evenly and leave for the specified time to reform hair disulfide bonds. Rinse thoroughly.
Apply any included conditioner or aftercare treatment to restore moisture. Style as usual.
Avoid shampooing or chemical treatments for at least 24–48 hours after perming.
