Aloe Vera

Onlys Botanic Smoothing System is a waterless formula. All non-essential ingredients like water were replaced with a 41% concentration of Aloe Vera. Aloe Vera is similar to keratin, but NOT from animal origin.

  • Re-generates the hair
  • Provides moisture and shine
  • Contains vitamins, proteins, enzymes and amino acids required for strong hair.

Ginseng

Known as the most widely used herbal remedy in the world.

  • Prevents hair breakage
  • Strengthens weak hair
  • Rich in vitamins and minerals that restore the hair fibre and improves protein re-generation.

Citric acid

Obtained from fruit extracts such as kiwi, lemon and orange. It is known as an astringent and antioxidant.

  • Cleanses the hair, removing dirt and product build-up
  • Anti-oxidizing
  • Regulates pH
  • Acts as a thermal protector

Application

Step 1 – Wet the hair

  • Wet the hair 50% – 60% with a spray bottle or at the basin. Water is the conductor so the hair can not be dry, but should not be dripping.
  • Don’t wash unless heavy build-up of styling products is on the hair. The natural oils protect the scalp.
  • Roots of curly hair dry quicker, so have the spray bottle ready to wet hair throughout the process.

Step 2 – Divide the hair

  • Shake the Onlys Botanic Smoothing bottle. Use an average 30-50ml per application. Divide the hair into 3-4 parts.
  • Take horizontal straight strands of about 2 fingers thick. Apply the Onlys Botanic Smoothing product from roots to ends.
  • Work with your hands until the product changes colour from deep blue to lilac.
  • The product will also clean the hair.
  • Allow the product to work naturally and open the cuticle without immediately starting to comb. Only comb through at the end of the application process.

Step 3 – Process

  • Pile the hair on top of the head and wrap in plastic to allow for the heat from the scalp to activate the product. Do not twist, only bend upwards.
  • Do not use heat. Do not use a Climazone.
  • Process for 30-60 min depending on the curl pattern of the hair.

Step 4 – Rinse & Dry

  • Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm to hot water. If not rinsed properly the product will cause fumes during drying, and drying will take longer. However, any fumes that are released are harmless and non-toxic. This will just happen if the hair was not properly rinsed or with very porous hair that absorbed excess product.
  • Dry with a hairdryer without using a brush until the hair is 70% – 80% dry.
  • Thereafter, dry the hair further until 100% dry with a round or paddle brush.

Step 5 – Straightening

  • Divide hair into 3 – 4 sections.
  • Make partings of +/- 1cm thick.
  • Use a carbon comb (not plastic).
  • First test the temperature that the hair can withstand by starting with the straightener at 200′. If the clients hair is strong enough the temperature may be increased to 230′.
  • Start at the roots until no smoke is released, then straighten lengths and ends until the hair becomes static. Roots are thicker than ends, so move faster at the ends.

Step 6 – Finishing

  • The hair MUST be washed within 24 hours, so it is recommended that you wash the hair immediately in the salon.
  • Wash, then condition for 5 minutes.
  • Dry with hairdryer. No further straightening is required.
  • The client may be send home without washing. However, until the hair is washed, its should not be tied, pinned or twisted. And the client MUST wash the hair within 24 hours.

After-care at home

After washing and conditioning the client must apply heat with a hair dryer to re-activate the product to smooth the hair. If heat is not applied the hair will not be completely straight but will still be frizz free. If the client wishes the scrunch her curls this can still be done if no heat is applied.

It is recommended that the client use a shampoo that is free from sodium chloride (salt) and sulphates to ensure the longevity of the smoothing system.
