Cleanse with preparing shampoo pH 8.5.
Apply once when the hair is in a normal state of cleanliness. Apply a second time when there are build-ups of grease, cosmetic residues or styling products.
There is no need to set three washes as the usual procedure.
Remove excess moisture with a towel and carry out a complete blow-dry with a brush and dryer.
Dry the hair 100%, keeping a controlled tension and favouring prior alignment.
Divide the hair into four main sections.
Start at the nape or in the most resistant areas.
Work with fine partitions, approximately 0.5 to 1 cm, adapted to hair density.
Apply the treatment with a brush, keeping about 1 cm from the scalp.
Spread evenly with a comb, avoiding build-ups and excess product. Coverage sets the amount: every strand fully covered, with no dripping or build-up.

| Treatment |  Processing time |
|---|---|
| Smooth Intense | 50–70 minutes |
| Tanino Gloss | 40–60 minutes |
Protocol times and temperatures. Adjust according to the hair diagnosis and carry out a strand test.
Once the application is complete, comb through to check how the product is distributed.
Keep the hair organised during processing, without continuous handling or additional heat not included in the procedure.
When processing is complete, remove the product according to the treatment's specific procedure.
We recommend considering a professional conditioning mask compatible with the treatment, after completing the necessary chemical stages. The mask does not replace a chemical neutraliser when one is needed.
We recommend applying a professional heat protector compatible with the treatment, spread evenly.
Dry completely before flat-ironing.

| Treatment |  Reference temperature |  Passes per section |
|---|---|---|
| Smooth Intense | 200–230 °C | 8–12 passes |
| Tanino Gloss | 200–230 °C | 10–15 passes |
Protocol times and temperatures. Adjust according to the hair diagnosis and carry out a strand test.
Work from the nape, with fine partitions of about 3–5 mm, a guide comb and continuous gliding.
Real temperature. The temperature shown on the flat iron's display may differ from the real temperature of the plates.
Recommended equipment: professional high-performance flat iron with adjustable temperature, even heat distribution and good thermal recovery.
Finish the service according to each treatment's procedure, without adding unnecessary finishing products.
First wash: the usual advice is to wait 72 hours. Never on the same day as the service. This is the protocol's timing.
The usual advice is to wait 72 hours. We do not recommend washing on the same day: the straightening needs that time to settle. It applies to Smooth Intense and Tanino Gloss.
First check the cause: fully dry hair, coverage of every strand, full exposure time, fine sections (3–5 mm) and the real temperature of the plates. Do not compensate with more passes or more heat. If the area did not straighten, wait 2 weeks and repeat the treatment only on that area (nape, hairline or thick strands), with finer sections and the full time. Never apply it over lengths that already received the treatment or over damaged hair. Before repeating, wash with a clarifying shampoo.
The protocol works between 200 and 230 °C. Use 200–210 °C on thick but less resistant hair and 220–230 °C on the most resistant. Check the real temperature of the plates, as the display can differ. Never exceed 230 °C.
Smooth Intense: 8 to 12 passes per strand. Tanino Gloss: 10 to 15. More passes do not give more straightening: they leave the ends stiff, dull and fragile. Stop when the strand is smooth and shiny.
Blonde or weakened hair: this protocol is not designed for them. Also not on hair with breakage or abnormal elasticity, or with a wounded or irritated scalp. Do not combine straightening with bleaching or another chemical service on the same day: separate them by at least 2 weeks. Always do a strand test.
Work in a ventilated space and wear gloves. Keep 1 cm from the scalp when applying. Avoid contact with eyes and skin: if it happens, rinse with plenty of water.
