Professional Recommendations & Best Practices

1. Complete Step 1 Protocol: To achieve maximum keratin penetration and lasting results, always complete the full INOAR Moroccan Deep Cleansing Shampoo Step 1 protocol, ensuring hair is 100% dry before applying Step 2.
2. Strategic Sectioning: Divide hair into four equal sections for systematic application, ensuring even product distribution and efficient thermal sealing without missing any areas.
3. Scalp Protection: Apply treatment 1cm away from scalp to protect sensitive scalp tissue while ensuring roots receive smoothing benefits through heat conduction during flat iron sealing.
4. Processing Time Optimization: Select processing time based on hair condition—fine or porous hair requires shorter processing (30 minutes), while thick resistant hair achieves best results with extended processing (50-60 minutes).
5. Temperature Calibration: Use professional flat iron with accurate digital temperature display calibrated within recommended ranges for each hair type to achieve smooth results without thermal damage.
6. Thermal Sealing Technique: Move flat iron evenly from roots to ends with controlled, consistent speed, applying extra passes at roots for enhanced smoothness and extended longevity of results.
7. Strand Testing Protocol: Always perform strand test on small hidden section before full application to assess hair response, determine optimal processing time, and verify temperature settings.
8. Ventilation Standards: Work in well-ventilated professional salon environment with adequate air circulation for comfortable application conditions and optimal working environment.
9. Client Consultation: Conduct thorough consultation to assess previous chemical treatments, hair damage level, and desired results before beginning treatment protocol.
10. Post-Treatment Education: Educate clients on critical 48-hour washing restrictions, recommended sulfate-free maintenance products, and proper home care to maximize results duration up to 6 months.

How to Use

This Keratin Treatment (250ml) is Step 2 in the travel-size INOAR Moroccan 2-Step Keratin Treatment System (2×250ml). Always perform a strand test before full application.

Important: This treatment must be applied to hair that has been thoroughly cleansed with INOAR Moroccan Deep Cleansing Shampoo Step 1 (250ml) and dried 100%. For complete 2-step protocol in matching 250ml sizes, see the Complete 2-Step 250ml System Kit.

A. Standard Manufacturer Method

1. Pre-Treatment Cleansing: Wash hair with INOAR Moroccan Deep Cleansing Shampoo Step 1 following the complete 3-wash protocol. Towel dry and blow-dry hair 100% until completely dry.
2. Section Hair: Divide hair into four equal sections (two front, two back) and secure with clips for systematic application.



3. Apply Treatment: Working with one section at a time, apply INOAR Moroccan Keratin Treatment Step 2 starting 1cm from the scalp. Use application brush to distribute product evenly from mid-lengths to ends, then comb through with fine-tooth comb to ensure uniform coverage.
4. Processing Time: Leave treatment on hair for 20 minutes minimum to allow keratin penetration. Do not rinse during this time.
5. Blow Dry: After processing time, blow-dry hair completely (100%) using medium heat and paddle brush, smoothing hair as you dry. Ensure hair is thoroughly dry before thermal sealing.
6. Thermal Sealing: Using professional titanium flat iron set to 400°F (204°C), take thin sections (approximately 1cm wide) and flat iron each section 7-10 times from roots to ends with smooth, even pressure and consistent speed.
7. Cooling Period: Allow hair to cool completely for 15 minutes. Do not touch or manipulate hair during this time to allow keratin bonds to set.
8. Final Rinse: After cooling period, rinse hair thoroughly with lukewarm water only. Do not use shampoo or conditioner at this stage.
9. Style and Finish: Blow-dry hair smooth and apply finishing serum or oil if desired. Hair is now ready to style.

B. Expert Salon Standard Method: Advanced Protocol

This expert salon protocol differs in three main ways for enhanced professional results:

• Processing Time: Extended and customized to 30-60 minutes based on hair type and condition
• Heat Temperature: Precisely controlled within 180-230°C range matched to hair condition
• Technique Focus: Multiple precision passes with strategic sectioning for maximum smoothness and longevity

1. Complete Step 1 Preparation: Follow complete INOAR Moroccan Deep Cleansing Shampoo Step 1 three-wash protocol. Dry hair 100% until completely moisture-free.
2. Precise Sectioning: Divide hair into four primary sections, then subdivide into smaller working sections (approximately 2-3cm wide) for detailed application control.
3. Strategic Application: Apply INOAR Moroccan Keratin Treatment Step 2 beginning 1cm from scalp, working systematically through each small subsection. Comb through multiple times to ensure complete saturation and even distribution throughout hair shaft.
4. Extended Processing by Hair Type:
   • Fine/weak/porous hair: 30 minutes
   • Color-treated/chemically processed hair: 35 minutes
   • Natural/virgin hair: 50 minutes
   • Thick/resistant/coarse hair: 60 minutes

   During processing time, comb through hair every 10 minutes to maintain even distribution and prevent product settling.

5. Complete Blow Dry: After processing time, blow-dry hair thoroughly (100%) using tension method with paddle brush, creating maximum smoothness. Ensure every section is completely dry before thermal sealing.
6. Thermal Sealing Specifications by Hair Type:
   • Fine/colored/bleached hair: 10-12 passes per section at 180-200°C (356-392°F)
   • Normal/virgin hair: 12-15 passes per section at 210-220°C (410-428°F)
   • Thick/resistant/coarse hair: 15-20 passes per section at 220-230°C (428-446°F)

   Technique: Take ultra-thin sections (0.5-1cm). Move flat iron evenly from roots to ends with controlled speed. Apply extra passes at root area for enhanced smoothness and longevity. Maintain consistent pressure and speed throughout each pass.

7. Extended Cooling: Allow hair to cool naturally for 15-20 minutes without touching or manipulating. This allows keratin protein bonds to fully set and stabilize.
8. Final Processing: Rinse hair thoroughly with lukewarm to cool water only, using fingers to gently smooth cuticles closed. Do not use shampoo or conditioner.
9. Professional Finishing: Blow-dry hair smooth using cool setting. Apply professional finishing oil or serum for added shine and protection.

Post-Treatment Care Instructions:

• No washing or wetting hair for 48 hours after treatment
• Avoid tying hair or using hair accessories for 48 hours
• Sleep with hair loose on silk pillowcase if possible
• After 48 hours: May wash with sulfate-free shampoo and apply light flat iron pass (maximum 5 passes) if needed

Results Duration: When performed correctly using proper technique and temperature control, results last up to 6 months with proper application and aftercare practices.
