Professional Recommendations & Best Practices

Achieve optimal hair preparation for keratin treatment with these professional guidelines for INOAR G.Hair Deep Cleansing Shampoo Step 1:

• Perform Multiple Washes: Use 2-3 washes minimum to achieve complete residue removal and optimal cuticle opening for maximum treatment penetration
• Use Proper Massage Technique: Gentle fingertip massage without nail pressure ensures complete cleansing while protecting scalp from irritation
• Ensure Complete Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly between each wash until water runs completely clear to remove all surfactants and loosened buildup
• Evaluate Hair Cleanliness: Hair should feel "squeaky clean" with slight texture indicating cuticle opening and complete readiness for treatment absorption
• Control Water Temperature: Use lukewarm to warm water for effective cleansing without shocking hair fibers or closing cuticles prematurely
• Assess Buildup Level: Heavy styling product users or those with silicone buildup may require additional third wash for complete preparation
• Prepare Immediately for Treatment: Proceed directly to Step 2 after towel-drying to maintain cuticle openness and maximize treatment absorption
• Avoid Additional Products: Do NOT apply conditioner, leave-in products, or any other treatments between Step 1 and Step 2 to ensure optimal results

How to Use

This shampoo is Step 1 in the INOAR G.Hair 3-Step System. For complete treatment protocol including active keratin application (Step 2) and finishing mask (Step 3), see the complete system.

Application Method (Recommended by Manufacturer)

1. First Wash - Initial Cleanse: Wet hair thoroughly with warm water ensuring complete saturation from roots to ends. Apply generous amount of INOAR G.Hair Deep Cleansing Shampoo directly to scalp and work through hair lengths. Massage gently with fingertips (not nails) working from roots to ends to create rich, foaming lather. This first wash begins removing surface buildup, oils, and styling product residue. Focus massage on scalp and areas with heaviest product accumulation.
2. First Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with warm water until all visible product is removed and water runs clear. Hair should feel clean but may still retain slight coating from previous products or natural oils. This is normal after first wash.
3. Second Wash - Deep Cleanse: Apply shampoo again using equal or slightly increased amount. Massage more thoroughly and systematically, focusing particular attention on crown area, nape, and around hairline where buildup tends to concentrate. Work lather through mid-lengths and ends. Leave lather on hair for 2-3 minutes to allow deep cleansing action and cuticle opening to occur. This second wash removes deeper embedded buildup and opens cuticle scales for treatment penetration.
4. Second Rinse: Rinse completely and thoroughly with warm water. Hair should now feel noticeably different—"squeaky clean" with slight texture and grip indicating cuticle opening. There should be no slippery or coated feeling remaining on hair strands.
5. Optional Third Wash (For Heavy Buildup): If hair has significant product buildup from regular styling product use, silicone-based serums, oils, or previous treatments, perform third wash following same thorough process. Hair is completely ready when it feels totally clean with pronounced texture and no residual coating. Professional assessment determines if third wash is necessary based on hair history and product usage.
6. Final Preparation and Towel Drying: After final rinse is complete, gently squeeze excess water from hair using clean towel with light pressure. Do NOT rub vigorously. Pat and squeeze sections systematically. Do NOT apply conditioner, leave-in treatments, or any other products at this stage. Hair is now properly prepared and cuticles are open for immediate application of INOAR G.Hair Anti-Volume Treatment Step 2.

Next Step: After completing Step 1 preparation, immediately proceed to INOAR G.Hair Anti-Volume Treatment Step 2 following the complete professional treatment protocol for optimal keratin absorption and smoothing results.
