Eyebrow and Eyelash Flexing Expert System «SUPERSONIC» Serum 1 CLEAR

Serum 1:

• the combination of two different alkaline agents (AMMONIUM HYDROXIDE and ETHANOLAMINE) allows the serum to actively open the cuticle scales, making it easier for ingredients to penetrate the hair;
• due to the mixture of two different relaxing agents (THIOGLYCOLIC ACID and CYSTEAMINE HCL), serum influences disulfide bonds remodeling them very rapidly and efficiently;
• the nourishing complex based on keratin and collagen protects the protein structures of the eyebrow and eyelash hairs during the flexing procedure. It keeps them from becoming dehydrated and fragile and retains moisture in the hair;
• it thickens and gives elasticity to hair.
• Its pH is 9.0-9.5.

Important! Only for professional usage!

Use only in combination with Serum 2 and Multivitor!

Apply Serum 1 on the eyebrows or eyelashes.
Leave it to develop for 3-10 minutes depending on the eyebrow or eyelash hair condition (see the application instruction).
Then remove the excess solution using a cotton pad moistened with water.
NOTE! The skin allergy test should be done before use: apply 2 drops of each solution to the small area of the inner skin of the elbow 48 hours before use. If there is no redness, inflammation or rash, begin the eyebrow or eyelash flexing procedure.

1) Analyze the condition of a customer's eyebrow hairs and specify the processing time of the eyebrow flexing solutions in accordance with the instructions below:

EYEBROW AND EYELASH POST-PROCEDURE RECOMMENDATIONS

! It is strongly recommended to avoid saunas, solarium, and any mechanical damage to the shape of the created eyebrows or the eyelash curl (sleep face down on the pillow). Minimize contact of eyebrows and eyelashes with water and do not brush hairs for 24 hours after the flexion procedure.

! It is strongly advised to avoid using aggressive cosmetic products and undergo aggressive cosmetic procedures (scrubs, face peels, alcohol-based lotions, laser treatments) for 48 hours after the eyebrow or eyelash flexing procedure.
